Fierce hockey at the Kapusta Kow Palace December 13…fitting as it was Hurricane’s birthday and the day before, no one other than Chevy’s birthday. “It was a quick pace out there tonight and I thought a little bit chippy”, stated Lovie, “our team played well, but did not seem to gel. We ended up minus 7 and I don’t quite know where to point the finger, and I don’t want to, but we could not put the ball in the net” Lovie had said.
Winning Captain Chevy was quite happy, “Man, when we were down, 3-1 to the Sharks and came back with 4 unanswered goals to win, wow, I had a smile ear to ear, what a great birthday present”. Chevy had said.
Shamus: “we had a great Mini tournament and were right in there, we needed the Spinner Stampedes to beat Chevy’s team, but you can’t have other teams determine your fate, we should have played better in that game to Chevy’s team, when we lost but we still had fun ….and really, that is the most important thing”.

Even rubbing the belly of the buddha could not bring enough luck to allow Shamus' team to defeat Chevy's
Three star selection as selected by LaBamba; 3) Hurricane 2) Sparky 1) Hollywood
“I thought Hollywood had an outstanding night out there” indicated birthday boy Hurricane.
“Sparky had a fantastic night out there on defence” stated Stevo.
Sparky who got 2nd star, did a super fantastic job filling the cooler with ice. “every beer had Ice on it”, stated Hollywood, “you can tell he is a pro at it and knows what he is doing when it comes to loading a case of beer with ice, it’s great to see”. Hollywood concluded.
Shamus ran the draft and was named as the Director of Drafts. “It is my responsibility to make sure the Mini drafts go well, I’m honoured to hold this title, I will not let anyone down, to be given this job, just means the world to me, I can’t tell you how proud my family is of me today”. Shamus had said, weeping openly.
Tomcats are also discussing if they should play the Sandwich Towne Skip Jacks on January 22. 2012. “I think it is going to happen, I just think final details need to be worked out” stated Sunny.
“I will sit down with the advisory board and talk to them, Skippy has given us some lee way, I don’t want to control the whole thing, as it is his Sunday night, but he is a great guy and I think wants to see this game be played” stated Stevo. Some of the provisions are thought to be, Tomcats would wear black, the ‘water ball’ would not be used, and that the money collected to play would not be a ‘winner dictate the charity’ , Skippy would use the money to the charity he wanted to give the money to. It was thought that if the teams played for money, then it could get ugly on the drill hall.
There will be more information on the travel game over the Christmas holidays.
