What does it take to be a Tomcat, sure you should like drinking icy cold beer and you should like wearing Tomcat t-shirts, touques, jackets and sweat shirts…but what else? You must endure the odour of the Falcon’s hockey bag. You must put up with the Mini Tournament and you must watch for errant hockey sticks. In the March 27 games, Cribz took a stick off his beak and the result was Sparky saying, “Mikey, you killed Kenny”. Cribz will be all right and is expected to dress for the April 3 games, “I feel fine, the nose is sensitive and I don’t see why I would not be able to play on Tuesday” Cribz had indicated from his Lakefront home.
Looking back at recent injuries, Sparky took a few stitches in a game to his lower lip (still has a scar) but was back at Purples for a beer, after being stitched up at the Hospital, The Mayor before that, lost a tooth and now Cribz….no stitches and luckily no loss of a tooth or an eye, but everyone must be reminded to be very aware of their stick and who is around you. “we don’t want to see anyone get hurt”, stated Sub Committee member, Jingles and added, “we all have jobs to go to on Wednesday morning”.

Looks like Stevo has been cleared for running on wooden floors and should be good to go April 3. The Rake is convalescing from shoulder surgery and is out for the season as is Youngblood who is nursing a groin pull. “It has been a frustrating year for me, I want to be out there playing and hanging out with the guys, but for now I must work on my groin and take care of business there”. a sad Youngblood had said.
The May 2012 St. Felix will be out in the first few days of April and I can tell you, I have scanned it and you do not want to miss it!
In the mean time, whilst you are laying on the bed in the first aid room, let me put my Harry Ballsounue!
