Windsor –AP- This morning’s press conference at the Kapusta Kow Palace showed me a few things, the Ukrainians really know there stuff when it comes to Vereneke (Porogy’s), that on a rainy dull day almost all media types will show up to a press conference where Vereneke are being offered and that the Tomcat organization really knows what it is doing. Case in point, Hurricane is not able to be a tournament Captain this year, as he finds it much more important to be with his wife on a tropical cruise, (at that time) instead of Captaining a tournament team……can you imagine that! So he asked to be removed as Captain. He, Yuri and Stevo were to be this year’s Captains, as they were going to try to make a team to take on Rocky’s defending Stanley’s Cup Championship team.
Enter May Day, who for only being here for 4 weeks, is the new Minister of Fines and Suspensions and is the Acting Director of Player Personnel and now has been named as the third Captain, for the February tournament. “We were looking at going with three of the oldest Tomcats still playing, Hurricane, Yuri and Stevo filled that bill, but now that May Day is here, and Hurricane is out, then May Day was an easy selection, a no brainer as they say”. Stated the Bundura, who emceed the press conference and added, “If May Day was not here playing and still up in the Sault, then Bulldog would have had seniority as the longest running Tomcat, but age wise he is behind May Day, Stevo and Yuri”. Bundura concluded.
“I am very honoured to be selected, I know what the selection process was and it makes sense, I know I have not been in the fold for a while, but I think I can do a good job selecting a team and I hope the May Day Marauders have a strong showing and win it all”. May Day stated then added, “My first order of business would be to see if I could trade for my old neighbour Crispy as it would be nice to have him on my team, I will be making that call to Rocky as soon as I leave the Kapusta Kow Palace today”. May Day had said, with a wry smile.
Draft will go in early February. Tournament is February 25, 2012 and ‘players who are interested in playing this year’ will be asked to submit their names at the end of December early January.
After the tournament, when you have had a few beers and a few laughs with your Tomcat buds, and feeling a bit punchy and randy, I will come up to you, maybe behind the first curtain, or up in the Tomcat room and say, Heywood Jewblowmee.
