This Day in History…..
2001 – Seven-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Dale Earnhardt dies in an accident during the Daytona 500.
2003 – Nearly 200 people die in the Daegu subway fire in South Korea.
2014 – Matador Scores on first penalty shot awarded in 20 years.
Chico’s Cheetah’s : Chico, Chevy, Spinner, Soupy, Razor, Turk and Killer
Sparky’s Siberian Tigers: Sparky, Snowpants, Stevo, Matador, Hollywood, La Bamba, Flintstone and Sheep Dog
Rake’s Jaguars : The Rake, Tunes, Rocky, Junior, Mez, Cribzie, the Danish and Hurricane
The Cheetah’s take the tournament with another strong scoring performance by Chevy, “I could not believe the amount of goals he scored out there” said Hurricane, “and when he was not selected as a star, I was flabbergasted, I could not believe it, but that is the vicious world of ball hockey,” concluded Hurricane (Chevy’s Mentor).
The three star selection as selected by La Bamba, the Third star, #35 The Turk, the Second star, #1, The Danish and the First star, #29 Razor…(Yes Skippy, two goalies selected as stars!) The Danish being selected as a star, stayed up on stage till midnight drinking beer, “I love this, this may actually be the best day of my life, I never want it to end,” stated The Danish.
The night was very aggressive, in what I saw. I know the tournament is a few days away and maybe players were posturing…but no need to be so aggressive….after all, is it not on stage after, that the yuks occur and the laughs and the fun are present…..and is that not the best part of it?
A few notables on the evening, Chevy, brought a 24 of MGD as a fine for wacking his stick against the net that Falcon was minding…classy move by Chevy.
Sparky (actually the Rake) brought out some cheese and crackers and some kielbasa, very nice move!
Snowpants, wanting to take initiative on ‘How To Be The Best Ref In The World of Ball Hockey”, moved the Bundura and the Sea Lion aside and reffed a period of a game. The Ball Hockey Referee Association grieved the move and asked that Snowpants be suspended for the upcoming tournament. Management and the Association were able to work out a deal and agreed on a 12 pack fine…to be brought first night of Tuesday hockey.
The Matador, had a penalty shot and scored on Razor, (after Killer had put his hand on the ball in the crease)…a first in a very long time…(the penalty shot, not Matador scoring).
Everyone there on the night paid for their upcoming hoodie or sweatshirt, which Stevo very much appreciated. The Sweat Shirts and Hoodies should be distributed on Tournament Day.
Tournament goes this Saturday, 8:30 start, everyone (EVERYONE) is asked to be there by 8:15…set up, dress, etc.
Full Team Picture, after the first two games are played……curfew for the Windsor Tomcats is 10pm Friday night and sex is highly encouraged the night before the big tournament!!
While you are on the stage, getting ready for the tournament, and you are all nervous and stuff, can I put my Harry Ballsonue.
Windsor Tomcats 
This is the kind of writing that keeps me warm at night. -41’C yesterday but that won’t stop me on the hunt to find the next greatest prospect from the north. I wish I was dressing for the biggest event in sport entertainment history, and I am not talking about the upcoming gold medal game. The Tomcats are the great orgianization put together since the old days of “the rocket and Mr. Hockey. Replaced by men far greater, the Tomcats are the greatest thing since, well Rock Bottoms made it on the CBC during the US vs. CAN Game. They knew the odds would be good to find true fans in the heart of our city, and a well used watering hole by none other than Tomcats. Stay thirsity my friends and keep your stick on the ice
