Under the mistletoe, can I put my Harry Ballsonue
Christmas Comes Early for 2 by Harry Ballsonue
“Now Dasher ! Now Dancer ! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! Now Dash away!
Dash away! Dash away all! “
Clement Clarke Moore
Teams
Sunny Sleighs Sunny, Shack, Tunzie, Matador, Sparky, Stevo, Spinner, Kamikaze and Jingles
Lovie Mistletoe Lovie, Razor, Beep, Hurricane, Soupy, Sheepdog, Chevy and Killer
Hockey was was action packed with the Lovie Mistletoe taking both games 9-7, and 7-6. Shout outs need to go out to Razor who played outstanding, to the grinders, Sheep Dog and Killer who notched a pile of goals and to the Matador, you snapped a few that made the mesh move.
One injury to speak of, was that Shack went down and was escorted off the ice, his injury is listed as a lower body injury and he is listed day to day. “If he had to play tomorrow, he probably could not play, but we are optimistic and will keep and eye on him and we hope to see him in the new year.” Coach Sea Lion indicated
Christmas Party afterwards at the Tomcat Club was a great deal of fun and everyone was all a smile, when the Tomcats Forever song was belted it out (YES !!! with hand gestures)
Great job by the Minister’s of Pizza The Turk and Zaba. The boys devoured the pizza like there was no tomorrow. “I noticed some tomatoes on one of the pizza’s” stated Lovie and then asked, “Is that something that is allowed”?
Seems like the Tomcats always know how to have fun.
Christmas came early for Tunzie and Kamikaze as they were given full time positions. “I got to tell you” (with large tears flowing down his cheeks) “This is the greatest day of my life”, said Kamikaze
Tunzie was speechless, all he could do when it was announced that he was now a full time Tomcat, was hug the Matador, they hugged for what seemed like 25 minutes and then smoked from their hookah pipe. There will be more reports/information on the two of them getting announced as full timers in the February Issue of the St Felix, (Due out January 1…..only 17 days away) but it is believed to be due to Several Tomcats in limbo and with Bear Cat retiring and Junior leaving in a huff, that some room has been opened for additions to the Tomcat roster. Who will be next? Sheep Dog, Flintstone, Shack, The Danish, Green Giant ?
“Every Moment Is A Teachable Moment”
Stevo
A wife in Edmonton stabbed her husband 40 times after tying him up. He (Husband) was convinced he was being tied up for a sexual purpose, The positive thing about the event is that he did not have his dick severed.
Please have this be a moment of learning Tomcats, always ALWAYS have one hand free!
Sunny and Lovie were announced once again as the new assistant captains, who would go along with Hollywood and Sparky.
Rocky gets mention as he brought a bottle of Crown Royal…..’Just Because’ he said. The boys will work on it in the new year!
Week five is alive with Rex Albert’s tee shirts.
This week he brings you Candice.
Hockey starts back up January 12, 2016, have a great few weeks off everyone.

TOMCATS FOREVER
Three Ukrainian Captains… by Harry Ballsonue
“Last year we couldn’t win at home and we were losing on the road. My failure as a coach was that I couldn’t think of anyplace else to play.” Harry Neale, professional hockey coach
Teams
Hollywood Borscht Hollywood, Beep, Green Giant, Stevo, Shack, Hurricane, Doc
Chevy Perohe Chevy, Sunny, Soupy, Razor, Chico, Flintstone, Sheep Dog
Sparky Kapusta Lovie, Snowpants, Cribzie, Turk, Jingles, the Danish
With the three Captains being Ukrainian, the team names became Ukrainian as well. “No one likes Putin” said one Captain, and added, “We are proud Ukrainians.”
It seemed to me, that the hockey was very good last night, good work by all the teams, no hacking, no wacking and no super intense play, just nice passes with some pretty goals. Compliments to the guys that played and to the three Captains that picked the teams.
Snowpants was injured early on in the first game on a play that he himself was responsible for, he fell to the ground and jammed his rib area, He was helped off the the Kapusta Kow Floor and did not see anymore action on the night. “We are evaluating the situation on a hourly basis, to lose a player of Snowpants magnitude is never good.” stated head coach Sea Lion and added, “We will evaluate tomorrow morning and see where he is at, and yes, its an upper body injury.” Sea Lion concluded.
Sunny and Chevy addressed the media after,
Did you notice that they did not play the last game? I did, I asked Stevo about it, after. “we don’t have a rule about that, but personally I would like to see all the games played out, people pay their five dollars and deserve to get their five dollars worth. It really has nothing to do where the Mini is at, it is more about the running and getting a good sweat going”. Stevo had stated.
“Maybe we should get rid of the scores and standing all together”. suggested Cribzie.
What should happen is that Stevo or who ever is in charge on the night, should say, ‘if these two teams do not want to play, is there anyone who does and anyone who does can play’. The Tomcats have enough black and white shirts and two sets of other shirts (one probably used that night) so that a game could still be played. “I think when the weather is hot the goalies sometimes ask for the night to end, sooner rather then later, which I understand, totally, but last night, it was cool out and the 6th game should have been played. I think it is something we can address at the year end Board of Directors meeting in May.” Stevo concluded.
A shout out goes to Sunny for bringing an array of extra beer in, “I had some odd and ends in the fridge, so I thought I would bring them in”, now that is a Captain and a leader, no wonder they made him an assistant Captain with the Tomcats.
December 15 is next week and it is the last night of Hockey for 2015. Christmas Party downstairs in the Tomcat Club. All Tomcats and Alumni are invited. Please drink responsibly and have a D.D. if you wish to have more then your usual.
First night back in 2016 is January 12, 2016.
