I watched from the press box, high above the rafters at the Kapusta Kow Palace as the Tomcats warmed up last night. There were 19 guys out there….zipping shots at the goalies.
Dean ‘Bearcat’ Meloche made his season debut, and did not disappoint the fans, although he went 1-2 on the evening. I also noticed he had a new mask, that was quite sweet.
Andy ‘Doc’ Brewin, seemed to be pushed around a bit out there so decided to take matters into his own hands and did some pushing of his own, but remember, there is no body contact.
Lovie Edgar notched two beautiful shots off the cross bar.
John ‘Husky Eyes’ Salaris seemed to have a little bit of anger in his game last night and it was a surprise to see, the classy Joe Sakic type player like Salaris be so angry out there.
Snowpants Ferranti seemed frustrated out there, not sure if he should remain back on defense and watch Stevo Jaworiwsky or pinch and try to score a goal.
Hurricane Hann, so intense on watching Stevo Jaworiwsky, forgot about his man Dave ‘Spinner’ Dzibela, who scored on a nice pass from Jaworiwsky.
Jingles Kuprowski slide safely into second base but later got hurt by a stick.
In the end, the boards put away, the Tomcats all sat up on stage and Darek Kowalczykowski came down from the press box and they had a few beers, a nice night to say the least. Lots of laughter, lots of smiles, I tell you the Tomcats are a great bunch of guys.
I was told that now there is a Tomcat room, a room where Bob Skoretz use to change in. They should make the room a ‘Tomcat Legends’ room and Mykel Jaworiwsky made the suggestion, that they have a Figurine attached on the wall and as you walk out of the room, you touch it for luck, just like they do at the Notre Dame games….not a bad Idea……maybe someone will come up with a medal Tomcat to attached to that portion of the door jam. In the end, all the sticks are up in that room, waiting to be used next week.
And when I see you next time: Heywood Jewblowmee.
