‘December 1963 (Oh What A Night)’ by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, it’s a song, not a Porn Movie. So the Tomcats now have the same thing, no, no porn movie or song, but a special night where 24 players played, Santa Stevo handed out Tomcat Ball Caps to everyone and the Tomcats enjoyed some pizza and beer after hockey, with most of the guys sporting their new ball caps.
There’s nothing better than a cold beer and holiday cheer with the boys after the final 2012 Tuesday night hockey!
Hockey went like this:
W L T GF GA +/- Pts.
Reindeer 4 0 0 11 3 +8 8
Sleigh’s 2 2 0 6 5 +1 4
Wise Men 0 4 0 2 13 -11 0
Rocky’s Reindeer take the Mini with a commanding 8 points and a plus 8.
Three star selection, as selected by La Bamba, went to the three guys who had the best attendance record for the year, by not missing a single night, the three were Stevo, Soupy and Snowpants, (all nick names beginning with S by the way)
I thought the hockey was good, and the Reindeer arrived at the win, over all, by winning all 4 games, however, why they only stayed at 2 spares for the entire night, remains somewhat of a conundrum. If on a Tuesday night, you have no tournament, just two teams, and one team has two spares and the other has 4, do you think for a moment, the games would be played like that? “Hey Stevo, we have 2 spares and you have 4, let’s even it up”, someone would say, would they not? Most definitely a player from the one team would go over to the other. But, this was not the case for the Reindeer; they played with their two spares and did not ask for another player. “I think, the reindeer, missed the point of the night, of any night. Everyone is to have a fair share of playing time. This is not about winning, this is about exercise and fun, I am a bit miffed at the Reindeers resolve here,” Stevo had indicated.
The Alumni was represented by Rexy, The Legend and Sea Lion. The Sea Lion had reffed the Mini Tournament and it should be noted, that Rexy, for no good reason, except, ‘Just Because’, brought a 28 of Alexander Keith’s for the Tomcats to enjoy….Thank you boys for pitching in.
Whilst, back in the Tomcat Club, speeches were heard. Stevo thanked all the Tomcats for coming out this year and wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a ‘Tomcats Forever’, at which time, the ‘Tomcats Forever’ song was belted out. (many laughs, YES! and a jolly old time) even Beep sang along, now knowing most of the words.
Hockey starts back up January 8, 2013
One final thing, just another observation, but there were three pieces of pizza left, and they were all from the Hawaiian pizza, just saying (it is a tropical plant with edible fruit consisting of coalesced berries).
St. Felix (February 2013) issue should be out later this week too, keep your eye out for that.
So as you leave that piece of Pizza with the Pineapple behind, may I put my Harry Ballsonue?

Great article harry, but I do have to clarify an issue that was brought up. From the very first game of Black vs yellow it was pointed out by everyone on the black team that there seemed to be ALOT of players on the yellow team and why did they have so many more. We were told that we got Bulldog when he showed which would make it 4 spares – 4 spares – 3 spares, as it was an odd number. However, bulldog never showed up, as well as a spare from the white which made it, 4 spares, 3 spares, 2 spares. I didn’t see anyone from the yellow team offering to come over and help, in fact it wasn’t until the last yellow game when they realized they weren’t going to win that it was made an issue (like that would have helped them anyway).
Go tomcats
