Windsor Tomcats

by Harry Ballsonue

What started out as a mini tournament night, ended up with 3 and four spares and a mad net minder.

Blackcats: Sunny, Soupy, LaBamba, Spinner, Zschabba, Razor, Doc, Shamus and Hollywood

WhiteHawks: Snowpants, Chevy, Rocky, The Turk, Hurricane, the Falcon, May Day and Stevo

Lovie was suppose to show up, but didn’t, but BBM Stevo to let him know (fine is being considered), never heard from The Rake or Bulldog and they never showed up.  Jingles cancelled last minute, as he had do do some family business. (Now keep in mind that Bulldog and the Rake may have sent a message to Stevo’s work email, but Stevo is away from his office till Friday and never put on the ‘out of office’ message, so if that is the case, then Stevo may be fined, and not the Rake and Bulldog.)

So we move on……in hockey news, and the game, the Stevo Stingrays started out playing the Sunny Skies…and beat them three to 2…but then, with new players not showing up, three teams were made into 2 and the night became a normal night, except for the vicious high stick on Sunny by Hollywood.  Hollywood crushed his stick down on Sunny’s skull but the ref did not see the infraction, it was caught on video tape and league disciplinarian Rex Albert reviewed the incident and sentenced Hollywood a first offender, to bring 6 beers.  Maybe in the NHL you would get six games, in Tomcat hockey, you get to bring six beers.

The Whitehawks, ended up defeating the Blackcats, in a very close battle, 7-6. There was some controversy, as Razor thought the score was incorrectly kept and showed his protest in the game and after to the reporters and fans, “I am not pleased with how the score is kept, it is bull do-do'” Razor had said, ‘It happens all the time”. The situation was explained to Razor but he wanted no part of the explanation. But then, as he sat there enjoying his cold beverage, it came to him, “oh, I see, the score card is red and black, we wore black, but the score was marked in red but should have been in black, but then it changed at the 4-4 score and then the white team took over the red score and the black team kept the black score”….

So, with the crazy controversy, Spinner has been made the ‘Official Score Keeper Guy’….He now holds two portfolio’s, Minister of Ice and Beverages and Score Keeping. Spinner will be the official individual to make sure the score is always correct and accurate and that the black score is kept for the black team and the red score is kept for the white team.

A heavier fine was set out on Junior.  He was to bring his 12 pack but never did. When it came to assessing the penalty, a suggestion of ‘What Would Junior Do” was suggested, and it was thought that Junior would say three full cases would be a fair penalty.  After some deliberation, it was decided that the fine would be doubled and instead of a 12, Junior is to bring 24 on the next night of hockey. What Would Junior Do bracelets, by the way, are now on sale in the Tomcat Kiosk located in the first and third levels of the Kapusta Kow Palace…W.W.J.D. Get your today!!!!

Over all the hockey was excellent with May Day knotting his two first goals of the season and the Turk knotted his first of the season.  May Day has not scored (on a score sheet) at the Kapusta Kow Palace since, March 25, 2007.

Snowpants’ birthday is on Thursday, so make sure you get a hold of him on that day, to wish the most favourtie Tomcat a Happy Birthday.

Strong performances by everyone, makes it difficult to put a shining star on anyone in particular, so good work Tomcats, see you next week.

Razor has been suspended one night for knocking off the net 4 times in one evening. he will not be allowed to play on February 17, 2011.

Lovie’s wife, Jack -Key has been sentenced a fine of a 12 pack for not letting Lovie play hockey on a night, when he already had one foot in the car.

Stevo will be investigated (no ‘out of office’ reply) and a penalty is pending.

Chevy suggested that if you lose your games on a Tuesday night, you are responsible to put the boards away, so next week, if you are on the losing team…you will put the boards-nets-towels away.

Check ou the Tomcat of the Week!

While Sunny was bleeding out from his head, I said to him, “can I have a look at your head?” He is a kind and gentle man, he said, ‘Sure take a look, “Sunny, as I did, I was able to put my Harry Ballsonue”.
