“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for and hour and it seems like a minute.”

That is how most of the players feel about Tuesday night, “I wait all week for it, and bam, the night goes by so quick”, says the Matador, Chico concurs, “I know what he means, I came here, a few years back, and then got invited into the Tomcat fold, now I have 20 friends, it is a great feeling”, Chico stated.
Black Rake Ravens Rake, Sunny, Rocky, Jingles, Killer, Razor, Hurricane and Spanky
White Chico Meadowlarks Chico, Tunes, Stevo, Sparky, Falcon, The Turk and the Kamikaze
Green Doc Sandpipers Doc, Soupy, Matador, Snowpants, Cribzie, Sheep Dog, Flintstone and Danish
White Wins!
The White Meadowlarks take the Mini with a solid 5 points, but if you look at the board all the games were tight and all three teams put points on the board. “I was very happy with my team, I tried to pick guys that I knew liked to play with each other,” stated Doc
The Green Doc Sandpipers finished second and had a chance to win the tournament in the final game against the Black Rake Ravens, but, they would have had to win by 5 to do so. They ended up tying 0-0 in a tight tight defensive minded contest and ended up finishing second.
“I was very happy with how the team played…… losing to Black in the first game with them (Hurricane) scoring with only 37 seconds left on the clock hurt, but we fought back the rest of the tournament and found a way to get it done,” stated Chico.
The three start selection as selected by La Bamba, …the third star, #35 Turk, The second Star, # 17 Soupy and the first star, #30 the Falcon. If there was a fourth star, Stevo would have been that guy, he played well and deserved recognition for games well played.
After 15 years, it is time to protect my hands!
Killer wore a pair of hockey gloves, a first for him, and he did very well out on the Kapusta Kow Floor
The action got a little tense with Black and Green going at it pretty strong. One clash up, saw Snowpants and The Rake in a little fight for floor space, but over all, from the hacking and wacking at the ankles, all went well, and only 4 nights remain at the Kapusta Kow. Cherish these last four weeks boys.
Mez is out for the season due to an off ice training injury. “I thought I still had lots of hockey left in me this season, but St. Felix was no match for the Hockey Gods and they have sidelined me for the rest of the year,” indicated Mez.
Solids on the night, Soupy brings 8 tall boys, citing that he cancelled late last week and Head Coach of the Tomcats, Sea Lion, for no reason what so ever brought 28 Molson Canadian. They are to be enjoyed next week.
Spinner is expected to be back in the line up next week, but there is still no word on Junior, who is listed as ‘week to week’
Hey, whilst you are checking out Killer’s new hockey gloves, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
