What a great way to end the year at the Kapusta Kow Palace with another mini tournament. Odds makers had already predicted a huge turnout for the Tomcats players considering Management was providing FREE bevys afterwards. The Tomcats needed the beverages of MGD (The official sponsor) to wash down the only gripe of the event, that being someone ordered vegetarian pizza. The Turk was the most vocal in his dissatisfaction, equating eating the veggie pizza offering to performing unspeakable acts with animals. BAAAAA!!!!!!
Mini tournament play was intense as always, and maybe it was the outstanding defences, goalies, or just plain Christmas spirit that lead to many a tie – both in the score cards and the teams themselves. I may have to check deeper into the stats, but I think this is the first time a team took the whole thing with a 2 win 2 tie record – CRAZY. Following in the footsteps of Xmas spirit, Tomcat management broke out some early presents for the players and fans in the guise of a very cool, limited edition winter Tomcat Touque. The full house of fans immediatly burst into “Tomcats forever” song, followed by “Stevo for president”. Tomcats players were seen openly weeping after receiving the touques and also joined the chorus of “Tomcats forever”.
Even better, after having some gripes regarding the three star selections it was nice to see Falcon, a goalie no less take the first star selection. After a stingy 2.0 G.A.A, which was exactly half of the other netmiders (Razor and Skippy’s G.A.A – 4.6 and 4.0 respectively), he was long overdue.
In terms of more early Christmas gifts, it has just been confirmed the Tomcats will play the Sandwich Skipjacks January 22nd, 2012 in a match aimed at raising funds for charity. CEO for Tomcats management Stevo indicated, “I wasn’t sure at first about playing another group, but they’re Skippy’s group, and the money raised will go towards the Special Olympics. Of course I made sure the Skipjacks weren’t playing in the Special Olympics themselves, cause we are looking forward to a really tightly contested game”. Having the undertone of raising funds for charity it is also hoped all players will simply come out for nothing more than the love of the game and comradery, followed of course by drinking.
Lastly, as the Tomcats do not return to the Kapusta Kow Palace until January 10th – The Skipjacks have indicated they are back at it Sunday January 8th. As a result Skippy has sent out a reminder to all Tomcats they are free to join, and perhapse check out that new stick Santa brought, or the new moves learned from the DVD “Sunny dekes out the defense and goalie again”. Either way as I was leaving the parking lot I overheard Falcon consoling Skippy on another mini tournament loss – “Don’t sweat it, we all have games like this”, to which Skippy replied, “Thanks Falcon, put Yuri HANDONMECAC”.
Yuri – HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY BITCHES!!!
