Skippy is organizing a game. It would be played at a drill hall located at 4007 Sandwich Street, in the old Sandwich Towne. It would be the Sandwich Towne Skylarks vs. the Windsor Tomcats. Normally, Tomcat management does not participate in such events, ever since the Bellwood School fiasco, but, they are doing it, as the proceeds of some of the money collected will go to charity.
The cost to play is $2.00 on any given Sunday at the Armories located on Sandwich Street and Skippy has graciously invited any and all Tomcats to come out on Sunday to play.
Taking it one step further, the Tomcats will venture out there on Sunday January 22, 2012 and play a ‘Friendly’ against the Sandwich Towne Skylarks, who are manned by Skippy.
“I think it will be a great deal of fun and I am looking forward to it. I think knowing the other team (Tomcats), as well as I do, should keep the fisticuffs to a minimum…at least I hope so.” indicated Skippy.
“We will go with anyone who wants to play on that night. We will need a goalie but will take both the Falcon and Razor if they both want to play. The Skylarks play 5 on 5 with a goalie, so if we get 12 guys to go,. we can run two lines and have two net minders….if more want to come, not a problem we will go with three lines, four lines, it is for fun and having a beer after.” indicated Stevo.
Beer is not allowed onto the premise, but the mess would become open after and beers are $3.00.
As for sticks, regular ice hockey sticks are allowed and Stevo encourages everyone to bring a real ice hockey stick to the game, along with hockey gloves and a jock. The ball used is the soft orange one that the Tomcats use.
As for a jersey/uniform, the Tomcats are still working on what colour they will be on that night and a further ‘informational’ update will be provided. For now, the thought is, a black Tomcat t-shirt would be acceptable. (If they really wanted to, they could go with the t-shirt provided last year and really look smart on the drill hall vs.the Skylarks….)
All Tomcats are allowed to go out and play on any Sunday and it might be a good idea for some to get out and see the lay of the land, prior to the January 22 tilt. The Tomcats will not be having a reciprocal game back at the Kapusta Kow Palace. “We have too many guys as it is, if we get another ball hockey club to come out and play on Tuesday, what does that do to the regular guys who have come out all the time and want to play.”Indicated the Rake and added, “If down the road the Skylarks wanted to play a game at the Kapusta Kow Palace on a Sunday night, enquires could be made to see if the Kapusta Kow could be made available on a Sunday night, but for now, there will be no game at the Kapusta Kow vs. the Sandwich Towne Skylarks.” concluded the Rake.
Skippy’s Skylarks are looking for guys to play, where the Tomcat have too many guys, so that is why no game at the Kapusta Kow.
In other news, for displaying very poor sportsmanship towards his brother Hollywood, Stevo has been fined a full 24 case of beer for his actions on Tuesday night November 22 and must bring that beer this coming Tuesday, November 29.
On January 22, at the armories, I’m sure there are nooks and crannies everywhere….if we find one, Haywood Jewblowmee.
