It’s not everyday you start off the hockey season saying it is your 25th year, but that was the case last night at the Kapusta Kow Palace as the White River Dogs faced the Black Wolves in a tilt that would make you think they had been playing for a few weeks now.  The weather was very favourable to the Tomcats as it was not 95 degrees out, as it was last Tuesday. (the Tomcats know when to start the season off) and from all accounts, it looks like another fine season as started. The pace was fast and the action fierce.

A very nice  gesture, by Snowpants and the boys, who honoured Hollywood’s and Stevo’s dad, with a moment of silence before hockey started, I’m sure Myron’s boys will miss him dearly. Myron was watching from above as both his boys scored goals in the games.

Team White came back from a 6-4 deficit to win the first game 7-6.  Then with a strong performance by Snowpants and Skippy the Black Wolves won the second game 4-2, with an empty net being scored with 5 seconds left on the clock.

Both good games and the fans loved the action.

Special Tomcat Programs were handed out last night as well, if you get a chance to get one, I say get one! They are beautifully done, with several franchise players on the front and a happy Hollywood holding up the Stanley’s Cup on the back page. Photos from many years of the Tomcats lives and each individual Tomcat is mentioned in he book with a little ‘Skinny’ about the player. Some great insight by Cribzie can be read and some super thoughts by Lovie can also be looked at, as he makes 6 points of what life is like as a Tomcat.  You will even find the words to “Tomcats Forever” in this all ages booklet.

Stevo reminded me, to remind you, to let him know if you cannot make it on a certain week.  The more notice you give, the better it is for everyone within the organization. If you don’t call or text or email, and don’t show up, $5 dollar fine to you!

Hey, whilst you are pursuing the Tomcat Program, do you mind if I put my Harry Ballsonue….
