| - Catastrophe had struck. The disc of the greatest game in history [EA's NHL 08] had been carelessly scratched, dying a slow and painful death, never to be revived again. No, it was not the fault of Kodiaks founder Matt Fairley or his trusted companion and co-founder, Alex Marks' fault. It was the father of the founding father that committed this horrible atrocity. So what were our heroes to do, especially in such distress? They set out in search of the coveted NHL 08, but it was useless. All sources were dry. The closest substitute was the taboo-like NHL 2K8. That being their only option, they sprung at the chance to play some smash-mouthed hockey. The two brave men sat and scrolled, angrily, through the half-assed user interface, attempting to slay it as if it was a horrible beast, but eventually the two persevered through the trials and tribulations of fighting the terrible demon and had soon found their way to the "create-a-team" option. But alas, they were soon faced with yet another dilemma. What would they name their soon-to-be awesome, kick ass team? They tossed ideas around the cold basement as if caught in a game of whirlwind dodgeball. And suddenly, there it was. The preverbal "golden egg" of sorts. The Halifax Kodiaks. Matt Fairley and Alex Marks would soon go on to compete in half a season with the NHL 2K8 Kodiaks before the game was to be returned to the local Blockbuster at Mt. Washington-upon-the-hill. When the two heard the word of the newly formed EA Sports Hockey League, it was decided that a team would be created. Matt Fairley proceeded to work up a basic forums site, recruit members, with those members recruiting members. It was a perfect snowball effect. Once there were a sufficient number of members within the club, a vote was called to order. The Halifax Kodiaks, the brainchild of Fairley and Marks, was resurrected and whooped every other choice's ass in the poll. It was a beautiful day in which the poll was called to be closed by the majority of the members of the club in order for the name to be officially declared. So, on August 13, 2008, the Halifax Kodiaks of the EA Sports Hockey League were officially formed. Now at 45 members strong, and more expected to be signed, the Kodiaks are a venerable team and hope to be a threat in the upcoming inaugural year of the EA Sports Hockey League. The Kodiaks will play their home games at the brand new 18,255-seat Telus Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
