Pulfero Pappagalli

The Pulfero Pappagalli are a fantasy hockey team currently playing in the Veteran Division of the North American Hockey league. The Pappagalli were apart of the original 8 teams that made up the league's inaugural season. They were originally part of the Rookie division, but after finishing 2nd in the Rookie divison for the 2011-2012 season they were promoted to the Veteran division.

2011-2012 Season
The Pulfero Pappagalli started the 2011-2012 season under the name "Marshland Mellows" as part of the Rookie Division. They got off to a slow start, but with surprises from Zach Parise and consistency from Jonathan Toews they were able to compete. They were neck and neck with the Vancouver Jacknives all season in a race for the division title and they ultimately tied with both teams posting 11-10 record. However, Vancouver won the series 2-1 causing Marshland to finish 2nd in the division. The performance was good enough to qualify them for the playoffs, though, where they were defeated in the first round by the Sudbury Bandits. Marshland's performance in the 2011-2012 season was good enough to have them promoted to the Veteran division for the 2013 season. They changed their name in the offseason.

2013 Season
The Pulfero Pappagalli surprised many with a relatively successful season. They were able to steal Sidney Crosby 5th overall, being the only team willing to gamble with his recent history of injuries. Their lineup was also stacked with Pavel Datsyuk, Taylor Hall, Chris Kunitz, and Martin St. Louis. They spent much of the season in first place in the Veteran division, but with Crosby being injured, less than desirable goaltending and management slipping, they fell to 2nd place and would go on to lose in the first round of the playoffs to the Veteran division winning Sudbury Bandits for the second year in a row.

2013-2014 Season
Following another moderately successful season, the Pulfero Pappagalli looked to break out and finally have a deep playoff run. The team had some success early in the season, but the wheels fell off. Even with a stacked lineup that featured Taylor Hall, Shea Weber and Tuukka Rask, Pulfero could not produce results. Poor management lead them to falling out of the playoff race early in the season and they were never able to recover, finishing last in their division and being relegated to the rookie division. They look to bounce back next season and return to playoff hockey.
