They Came, They Saw, They Played Hockey, They Conquered by Harry Ballsonue
Bunch of great looking guys, Sex Symbols is a great name for this group!
The full Tomcat Team Photo is a great part of the day. Check out the photo on this web site after you read this blog. You can find the photo under the Tab, ‘Tomcat History’.
The team photo is what makes the day, along with the Tomcats singing Tomcats Forever,the smiles on the faces of the Tomcats as they sing and do hand movements is a sight to be experienced like a Sun Set over the Himalayan Mountains, The Tomcat Brotherhood belted out the song with bravado Tournament Day. (and in key)
Not present this year at the Tournament: Bearcat (Retired), Skippy (I.R) The Rake (I.R.) Rocky (I.R.) La Bamba (Work Commitment) Hurricane (Family Commitment) Zaba (I.R.) Junior (Disgruntled) Hollywood was able to make team photo and attend but was not assigned to a team, but he was there to do his famous ‘Ziggy Zagga Ziggy Zagga’, to which the Tomcats replied ‘Hoy Hoy Hoy’.
I asked Hollywood what the origins of the Ziggy Zaggy was. “Originally it was first introduced as a battle cry where the leader shouts Ziggy Zagga…and the soldiers reply with a hearty “Hoy, Hoy, Hoy.” But now it is used mostly as an alcohol consumption song” Hollywood stated. Non the less, always a joy to do and the laughs and the smiles are what make the tournament.
A first….it was the first time in Tomcat Tournament history that a player not playing in the final won the MVP, Congrats to Chico for his Felix Potvin/Carey Price like saves….save after save after save. “I thought he was outstanding in the net and gave us a chance to win, but if you don’t score any goals it is hard to win games” Stated Lovie, who himself won the ‘Tomcat Award’ an award given to the Tomcat who best exemplifies the Tomcat Spirit.
Doc would like to once again thank the Refs for their hard work, Hollywood for being a goal judge, The Sexy Man for being the Official Photographer of the Tomcats, to Turk and Zaba for organizing a very delicious pizza dinner and to Purples for letting us take over the bar again this year.
