The Matadors: The Matador, Chico, Snowpants, Lovie, Killer, Hollywood
The Chevy’s: Chevy, The Turk, Hicksie, Beep, Sparky, Spinner
The Pontiac’s: Tunzie, Flintstone, Sheep Dog, Soupy, Doc and Stevo
What was thought to be a two team night, ended up being a Mini. “I don’t know how that happened’ Whispered Stevo, “I thought we only had enough for two teams.” But a mini it was and because a third goalie could not be talked into playing in net, Falcon and Razor played net the entire time (CAN YOU SAY HOT OUT THERE IN GOALIE EQUIPMENT)
Management is stressing the importance of three goalies, for a mini especially when the weather is over 50 degrees out. Perhaps in the dead of winter, two goalies can handle the work load, but there is no reason why a Tomcat could not step up and play in net. For future reference the Tomcats carry a full set of goaltending equipment in the Tomcat room.
The play got a bit intense with some pushing and wacking going on…..once again, it is important to play the ball.
One Tomcat, left without saying good bye, due to the fact that he got knocked down on a play. He was so disgusted that he did not even bother to stick around and participate in the NHL Tomcat Hockey Pool which he helps to organize. (The Pool went on anyway with 10 teams).
Solids: Sea Lion showed up to be involved in the NHL draft and brought a 30 pack of Molson Canadian, ‘put her there, Sea Lion’. The Sheep Dog brought 24 MGD, ‘Just because he is a super guy’ and newcomer/showcased player, Hicksie (who has attended the Crow Summer Hockey School for Great Golfers who want to be good Hockey Players) brought a 12 of MGD….
New guy Hicksie brings 12 MGD, gets 2 Tomcat Koozies and a Tomcat Towel with # 36 “This may be the greatest day of my life ….thank you Tomcats!”
Hicksie was thanked by the Tomcats and was presented with two Tomcat Beer Koozies and a Tomcat Towel.
Matador’s team from last week provided their ‘Fine’ case for breaking into the case before the last game had ended…
So who won the tournament? Well, organizer’s decided to call it a night, without playing the final game as the goalies were exasperated and there was beer to be consumed. So all three teams were winners.
Lovie gets the nod for a Super Solid for brining out Kielbasa, Cheese and Crackers, “I love doing this for the boys and hey, who does not love going home with Double Smoked Kielbasa on their breath”?
The three star selection as selected by La Bamba, the 3rd star Snowpants, the second star Matador and the first star Tunzie (a first time Captain for the mini) The three were selected for taking the initiative and organizing the mini and being the three Captains.
A little bit of investigative journalism, had me find out that Sparky had a different Nick Name in high school…..
Fun Fact… Before Sparky was nicknamed Sparky by the tomcats his nickname was ‘catfish’
During the NHL Draft, Sheep Dog made a pick and Chico said to him, “Do you really want to win this pool”?
Next week, not in the line up: Bulldog, La Bamba, Sparky, Spanky, May Day, if you know you can’t make it, let Stevo know.
Beer Bringer’s next week are: Hurricane 24 and Chevy 12.
This blog takes a turn to the serious side and just a reminder, that yes the NHL is watching every game that you play on the Kapusta Kow Palace, and scouts are evaluating you and large contracts could be handed out any day, but take it easy out there and play the ball not the man, or the body, or the head or anything but the ball. Tuesday night Tomcat Hockey is suppose to be for some fun. Please keep this in mind.
And whilst you are laying on the Kapusta Kow floor wondering why no penalty was called on the hit, may I put my Harry Ballsonue?
