LONDON, Ont., November 27, 2007 – Poop Face Sports and Entertainment Ltd. (TSX: PFSE) is pleased to announce that the Poop Faces SE have overcome the less-than-stellar start of the 2007-2008 LBFF hockey season and are now sitting atop the league with 122.5 points.  With a remarkable combination of stellar goaltending and solid offensive contributions from the entire team, the Poop Faces have proven once again that they are a force to be reckoned with.

"I admit, coming out of the draft I was concerned that our scouts performed a less-then-adequate job of bringing the right talent to my attention," explains Poop Face President and GM Chris Ysebert, "so once the season started I decided to act quickly on a few key acquisitions.  Vaclav, Pascal,  Tomas were some free agents that we signed early in the season that have really worked out great for us.  Our D was a concern, so we brought on Mark, Jaroslav, Paul and Michal.  Along with some of our draft picks, this team has really come together, and I’m happy as hell for them."

Fans are also raving about the new-look Poop Faces and their recent successes. "One week we’re close to last place, then today I wake up, check the standings and it’s like ‘Holy Shit, we’re in first place!’" an excited Steve Jobs (Apple Corp)  exclaims. "Man, for the past year or so it’s been hard to be a Poop Face fan.  Frankly, I’ve stopped bringing my Poop Face mug into the office since all I’ve heard from people is how much they suck.  Christ, those St. Pats fans really bust my balls. But, looks who’s laughing now! I am! I am laughing now!"

While their recent success is encouraging, all is not well for the Poop Faces.  Number one goalie Pascal Leclaire recently left a game due to a hamstring injury and his current status is unknown.  Manny Legace and Martin Brodeur aren’t concerned, though. "Manny and me, we’ll be okay," muses Brodeur, "so fans shouldn’t worry.  We have stopped many pucks combined, and we will continue to stop pucks while Pascal gets better.  Poop Face Nation has nothing to worry about."

Sadly, the success of the Poop Faces comes at the expense of other, more poorly managed hockey clubs.  Sources inside the LBFF have indicated that many clubs, including the once-strong St. Pats and Stewie Tigercats as well as new-comers the Decline and Gizomonauts may end the season in the red due to poor fan attendance and their inability to secure solid television deals.  Poop Face President and GM Chris Ysebert understands their position. "You know, we’ve been there.  It’s not fun, I’ll tell you that, it’s not fun at all.  On one side you’ve got your fans screaming at you to make something happen, on the other you’ve got the board wondering where the profits will come from.  While we’ve been able to turn things around, we were pretty close to moving the team, changing the name and that, well, that would’ve been the end of an era. I think that LBFF needs the Poop Faces to be a strong team, a competitive team.  Last year, when we were wallowing near the bottom of the league, I think that LBFF total attendance was down nearly 40% and profits were down almost 55%!  I spoke with the commissioner on a number of occasions and you could see it in his eyes, so tired, so sad.  He wouldn’t say it, but I knew what he was thinking: he missed the Poop Faces of old.  Now, the official numbers aren’t in, but during our recent run to the top arenas have been packed, there’s been more stories written about our league in major publications, and fans just seem more excited. There’s just something about this team, the history, the lore.  Truly, the Poop Faces are the People’s Team."
