Windsor Tomcats

by Harry Ballsonue

Originally conceived, the thought was to get a 25^th Anniversary jacket of some sort, and to save some money towards the purchase, so that each Tomcat, young and old, rookie or veteran, part time or full time, would only have to pay 25 dollars. (Get it, pay 25 dollars for the 25^th anniversary jacket).  The plan  was  conceived about 2 years ago was indeed achievable and low and behold, the jackets were distributed on the last night of the 2012-2013 Season, thus being receivable.

Unbelievable that the season has come to an end.    What am I going to do with out the My Tomcats.

In the ‘Speeches ‘ department, Hollywood thanks, Crow for the Lake Shore Auto shirts, he thanks, Markia for wearing the leopard shirt at the bar, ( and looking so sexy)  he thanks Jingles, for getting the arena, Bulldog for organizing the event, Snowpants for hogging the ice time, Soupy for getting a haircut at the Canadian Institute for the Blind and he thanked all the ‘outside’ players for playing. 

Hockey:  Well, it was interesting, team White Piggies, lead 10-6 at the start of the third period. Team Black Hogs, working on all cylinders, scored 7 unanswered goals to lead 13-10.  White then scored a goal but it was too little, too late and the Black Hogs won the game 13-11. “I really wanted to take them to overtime, after they scored those 7 goals, I thought, ‘man, if we can just pop one’, but it was not meant to be” indicated the Matador, who looked stunning in his new Tomcat 25th anniversary jacket!

Presentation Department: In the presentation department, Bulldog did a stellar job presenting……Skippy won MVP for best goalie, Beep won MVP for the White Piggies and Soupy won MVP for the Black Hogs.

Tomcat Song: And in case  you were wondering, if the Tomcats sang ‘Tomcats Forever’ at the Dom Polski……the answer is ‘Of Course’.

Jackets: Whilst in the drizzle of the rain, (planned by the Tomcats to cool all the players down) the brand new, spanky clean Tomcat 25th Anniversary Jacket was handed out. “Man do they look sharp”, indicated Chevy. “Wow, Nice Job Hollywood” stated Snowpants and yes, the Matador looked stunning, losing 20 pounds by just wearing his jacket with the collar up.

Chevy, Hurricane and The Turk shown with ‘photoshopped’ umbrella’s in their hands…come on, do you really think these tough Tomcats would need an umbrella to enjoy a drink in the rain???

Ogie and some of the boys enjoy a drink after the game and before heading into the Dom Polski to celebrate the end of another fantastic Tomcat season.

The jackets look great and 38 were purchased and distributed to the Tomcats. “You got to love this organization” stated Sparky, “We ask for 25 dollars for an 80 dollar jacket, you really got to think that is special” concluded Sparky. 

Next blog, should be nest week sometime, but after that, it will be a quiet summer, unless you, the Tomcat want to submit something.,…anything.

The old and the young…Stevo and Youngblood under the umbrella.

“What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself”, Abraham Lincoln had said that.  When it comes to the Tomcats, there is no smell, just a breath of fresh air. Tomcats want to thank Crow for sponsoring the outdoor game and providing beautiful long sleeve shirts to all participants.

So as this year comes to a close, I believe Stevo is going to do the next blog and provide everyone with the results of the surveys, I leave you with some interesting thoughts, that you can talk about today to someone, who is less interesting than you.

Did you know…

• It is physically impossible for pigs to look to the sky
• Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, 2 rats could have over a million descendants.
• The cockroach can live 9 days without its head before starving.
• The ostrich’s eye is bigger than it’s brain. 
• Ants do not sleep
• The brain size of a crocodile is the same size as your thumb
• Chevy’s and Spinner’s shot has been clocked at 110 km/hr
• A mosquito can ‘smell’ the human blood that it wants to make as a meal from a distance of 50 kilometers.  

I don’t know if any of this is true, but I do know, that I would love to put my Harry Ballosonue.
