Windsor Tomcats

Return of Tomcat Favorite by Chase De Poosee

“Labour to keep alive in your breast that little spark of fire called conscience”-George Washington

Teams

Kamikaze Krazies-El Choppo, Hurricane, Tunzie, Danish, Steveo, Green Giant, Beep, Kamakazi

Docs Diamonds- Doc, Spinner, Shack, Soupy, Razor, Chevy, Sunny

Sparky s Superstars- Sparky, Lovie, Hollywood, Rocky, Falcon, Turk, Snowpants

A mini tournament was had for the first time in 4 weeks. “Good to see the boys back out in full force”stated Steveo. “Nothing makes me happier than a large turnout.”

The teams were well matched, no one team able to dominate. The Docs Diamonds were victorious on the evening, winning by goal differential.

The highlight of the night was the return of Rocky from an extended period of time on the IR.”It was frustrating sitting out. All I wanted to do was play” stated an exuberant Rocky. “I really do appreciate the warm welcome back and a shout out to Tunzies Titans for the honorary shirt. I love it!”

Rocky talking to his agent on his way into the Kapusta with almost a season ending injury (holdout?)

Rocky indicated to hurricane that his injury will never fully recover, but that he should be able to achieve a level of 80% pre injury functionality. “This disturbs me greatly “stated Hurricane. “I believe it is the responsibility of all Tomcat players to demonstrate good fiscal accountability to ensure the future success and financial security of the Tomcat organization. As such, I will be submitting a formal proposal to the board of directors that Rockys total compensation package be reduced by 20% to reflect his diminished capacity. This will free up money to sign potential free agents.”

Odds and Ends

1. From the tomcat safety committee, a reminder that NO slap-shots are allowed.
2. Next week, in honour of Purples and its history with the Tomcats, only one beer will be served onstage. After that, we will re locate to Purples for the last time.
3. Lovies NHL playoff pool has been scheduled for April 12 after hockey. It will be a draft format. Be sure to tell the kids you’ll be too late to tuck them in that night
4. A reminder from snowpants to mark on your calendar Friday June 17 for the Tomcat golf outing. Rumour has Sutton Creek as the course this year. snowpants will provide further details nearer to the event.
5. Steveo, as the result of his public relations fiasco surrounding Razor, was fined a 6 pack. Steveo brought 30 beers, thereby fulfilling his fine.
6. May Day is being shut down by the tomcat training staff for the remainder of the year due to a lower body injury. This long term tomcat may be facing the end of his storied career, only being available to the tomcats at tournament time.

Other odds and Ends

BEER NIGHT: If it is your beer night, and you miss, you MUST bring it the next time you come out.  Right now Tomcats have four guys that have not brought their beer in. I’m hearing rumours that the President is not happy.

New Tomcat Tee:  For any Tomcats who could not play in the tournament but would like to purchase the latest and greatest Tomcat tee shirt, please see Stevo, they are only $10.

April 19 Last night of Hockey: There are only 4 weeks of hockey left.

May 3, 2016 Board of Directors Meeting: The Windsor Tomcats will be holding their year end Board of Directors meeting on Tuesday May 3, 2016.  Any or all Tomcats are invited to attend the meeting.  The meeting will be held at Stevo’s house and the start time would be at 6:30p.m.

Kapusta Open: The Turk is organizing a golf event and the proceeds go to the St. Vladimir’s Building Fund. (you know it better as the Kapusta Kow) The event is on June 11, it is at Ambassador (which costs &75-80 just to play golf there)  In the Kapusta Open you get golf, a cart, hot dog and drink at the turn, dinner and door prizes.  The cost is only $110. The hall has been great to us for over 27 years….consider playing in this year’s tournament.  See the Turk for more details.

The Turk shows the youth of today how things are suppose to be put away, not just jammed into a case!

Purples Good Bye Party: Saturday March 26, Free admission. Bring the significant other!!! Please consider supporting Purples. Ghost Crossing is playing…..

Tomcat Golf Outing: Keep June 17 marked off in your calendar as that is the date of the Tomcat golf tournament, affectionately known as the ‘Pantalon de Neige’ Cup.  Snowpants is very close to providing everyone with detailed details in regards to the event ,  so mark off your calendar and stay by your computer for important emails from the Pantalon de Neige himself, Snowpants.  “I have set Sutton Creek as the location and the first tee off time will be 10 a.m.” Stated Snowpants
