In the 2010 Vancouver Games, (Olympics), did you know that 26.5 million Canadians, or 80 percent of the country’s population tuned in to watch the gold-medal game in men’s hockey. Slightly fewer at the Kapusta Kow on Tuesday night, but still a packed house, with one team with 3 spares and the other two with two spares.
The Canaries: Captained by Soupy, The rest of the team….Sunny, Rocky, Bulldog, Hurricane, Sparky, Hollywood
The White Doves: Captained by Chevy, The Rest of the team….LaBamba, Razor, the Turk, Jingles, Doc, the Rake, Killer
The Black Crows: Captained by Spinner, The rest of the team…. Beep, the Matador, Stevo, Snowpants, Falcon and Mez
Final Standings: W L T +/- Pts.
Canaries 3 1 0 +3 6
Crows 2 2 0 +2 4
Doves 1 3 0 -5 2
The hockey was very good and the pace was fast. Things ran smoothly, with one exception…Ref Stevo counted a goal against the Canaries, when Jingles had scored. “The goalie, was turned around and fixing the net, I thought that is a nice kid, that goalie, if the net remains off, a goal won’t count. But the goalie was still turned around. He (the goalie) put the net in place and the other team shot and scored. If he had just pushed it off further or left the net where it was, the play would have been called dead,” Ref Stevo had said.
Then as the second period was about to begin, the goalie, being silly, moved the net over and would not start the game in the correct spot, after a warning, the Canaries got called for a delay of game. But in the end, it was the Canaries who took the tournament.
The Three star selection as selected by La Bamba, #3 Spinner, #2 Soupy and the number one star on the night, Sunny.
Speaking of Soupy, poor guy, had his knee buckle on him and he went down….after some medical treatment (ice pack) and an MRI (stood close to the score clock), he was back in the line-up for the next game. He hobbled, he hopped, he trotted, but you could see that the knee was still giving him some trouble. “We will monitor the situation and we’ll see how he will be tomorrow,” stated team doctors.
The Tomcats would also like to announce, free beer at the tournament. “We have about 7 cases right now,” stated Sparky and added, “so instead of having everyone bring beer (they still can if they want to), we’ll throw 3-4 cases on ice so that everyone can enjoy them,” Sparky concluded.
Doc and the Matador, the Ministers of Beverages and Ice, will take care of that on the day (see St. Felix for all portfolio’s and duties).
Quick reminder, that the St. Felix does come out every month and that EVERYONE is encouraged to read it. Special Agent Beep, has been assigned the task of reviewing The Windsor Tomcat internal communication policy to see how they can get everyone to always check the site and the St. Felix. There was a ‘situation’ last week, where an email was sent out to specific parties and the website blog, “What the Tomcats Know” also indicated that Stevo would not be around last week to field any cancellations. Well, sure as shit, Sunday night when he checked his phone, there was a cancellation on there…..
“We really don’t know what more we can do at this time”, indicated Windsor Tomcat Captain Rocky, “The web site is visited, but we need more to read the content and stay on top of the information being provided,” Rocky had said.
Only cancellation for next week, that we know of, is Crow, so if you cannot make it, let Stevo know. In the meantime, do you think, while you are enjoying your free Tomcat beer at the tournament, I can put my Harry Ballsonue?
