White Lightning: Falcon, Sunny, Stevo, Spinner, Jingles, Junior, Zabba, May Day and Rake

Very good Hockey, with the Yellow Jackets taking it. The three star selection, as selected by La Bamba: 3) Hurricane 2) Razor 1) The Matador.
The three teams were selected by a computer assisted program called CANPLAY/KNOWHOW and it seemed pretty fair.
Crazy Joe makes Tomcat Goaltending Debut. First Period was shaky but, then he stepped it up.
In 1888, the Governor General of Canada was Lord Stanley of Preston. His children were big hockey fans. Lord Stanley became an enthusiast himself, after attending the Montreal Winter Carnival tournament. He noticed there was no distinction given to the best team in the country, so he purchased a big decorative bowl to use as a trophy. In 1893, the first Stanley Cup was awarded to the Montreal HC. The tradition continues in the National Hockey League today.
In 1991, The Turk brought out to the Tomcat Hockey Tournament Stanley’s Cup. It has been repaired and added on to, but it was the Turk that set up the prize for the winner of the Tomcat Tournament, a Tournament that is played on the last Saturday in February every year…Thank you Turk!
2013 Tournament Hockey Draft occuirred January 15, Here are the teams:
C; The Marauders (Returning Stanley;s Cup Champs): May Day, Crow, The Eagle, Jingles, Zchabba, Razor, Rake
A; Chevy Sharks: Chevy, Beep, Rocky, Falcon, Sparky, Snowpants, Doc and Chico
D: Cribzie’s Crown Royals: Sunny, Stevo, Spinner, Junior, Willie, Skippy

IF Skippy is giving birth to his baby and cannot play, then Chico moves from the Sharks to the Crown Royals and plays goal.
THE LEGEND
So, a little bit of investigative journalism…I had the pleasure of going to the ‘Legend’s’ house this past week. The Legend and his dog Mika, live on 346 Acres of land that could easily be equated with that of Elvis’s Graceland. I got to sit with the Legend and talk to him about the Tomcat’s, Music, Love and his dog Mika, I plan to air the entire interview later this month on Tomcat T.V.

ALSO…..Tomcats will hold a NHL Hockey Pool Draft on Tuesday January 22…..after hockey, so bring $11 for that….
Finally, Doc wants to invite all the Tomcats to a house warming party (4th annual) Saturday March 2. He will provide you with his address on stage, in the next few weeks. At the party, they (Jodi and Doc) will be asking for donations at the door to go to the local MS Society.
Hey, there were a lot of guys on the stage after hockey, did anyone notice I put my Harry Ballsonue.
