The first code segment (of the original post) when modified as ...
set AGATE to "22.03.2006 - Philadelphia Flyers 6 vs. New York Ranges 3"
set winningTeam to "Philadelphia Flyers"
tell application "Finder"
set MyFile to make new file at desktop with properties {name:winningTeam}
open for access file MyFile with write permission
write AGATE to file MyFile starting at eof
close access file MyFile
end tell
... fails with 'Script Editor' (AppleScript) of MacOS X 10.0.0,
10.2.0, 10.2.8, 10.3.4, and 10.4.4.
All of the above mentioned MacOS X versions - displayed errors stated:
'AppleScript Error ... Finder got an error; "cant's make the file
(document file "Philadelphia Flyers" of folder "Desktop" of folder
"s" of folder "Users" of startup disk) into type file specification.
When re-written as ...
set AGATE to "22.03.2006 - Philadelphia Flyers 6 vs. New York Ranges 3"
set winningTeam to "Philadelphia Flyers"
tell application "Finder"
set MyFile to (make new file at desktop with properties
{name:winningTeam}) as string
set fRef to open for access file MyFile with write permission
write AGATE to fRef starting at eof
close access fRef
end tell
... the above mentioned MacOS X versions of 'Script Editor'
(AppleScript) - produced the desired results.

Simplified versions of the working code are provided below -
set AGATE to "22.03.2006 - Philadelphia Flyers 6 vs. New York Ranges 3"
set winningTeam to "Philadelphia Flyers"
tell application "Finder" to set MyFile to (make new file at desktop
with properties {name:winningTeam}) as alias
set fRef to open for access MyFile with write permission
write AGATE to fRef starting at eof
close access fRef
... or ...
set AGATE to "22.03.2006 - Philadelphia Flyers 6 vs. New York Ranges 3"
set winningTeam to "Philadelphia Flyers"
set fRef to open for access (((path to desktop from user domain) as
string) & winningTeam) with write permission
write AGATE to fRef starting at eof
close access fRef
