The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martiae, Late Latin: Idus Martii) is a day on the Roman calendar that corresponds to March 15th. It was marked by several religious observances and became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC.

BULLDOG THUNDERBIRDS Bulldog, Stevo, Big Ned, Soupy, Chevy, The Rake, Chico (Net), Cribzie, Snowpants
SUNNY MAVERICKS Sunny, Hurricane, The Terror (Net), The Turk, Rocky, Beep, Sparky, Sol and Helios
You might be thinking pretty even teams, but who the hell is Helios. You know Sunny’s boy Sol, but who the hell is named after Greek Mythology, Helios? Well it Means “sun” in Greek. This was the name of the young Greek sun god, who rode across the sky each day in a chariot pulled by four horses. And whose brother is he, Sol’s. Whose son is he? Sunny’s.
Helios makes his Tomcat Debut, drafted number one
over all two years ago, he has been an anticipated player for the Tomcats.
“The future looks bright with Sol and Helios,” stated Sparky.
Hockey was incredible. No stiffs playing and the scores were 9-6 for the Mavericks and then the second game went to a 10-10 tie and both goalies played great. “When you have the caliber of hockey players that we had out tonight, there are no slouches, it was fast, clean hockey and that is evident by the number of goals that were scored,” stated Soupy.
What also made it a fun night was watching some of the young Tomcat talent out, Big Ned, Sol and Helios.
“It was a thrill for me, Sol has played in the past but to have Helios out there, and the three of us on the same team well, it was a magical moment in my life,” stated an elated Sunny.
Is that Gordie with Mark and Marty? No, it’s Sunny with Sol and Helios!
“It was great watching my dad play tonight, he scored a ton of goals and two on shots that went right through the goalies legs, he is an incredible person, and incredible dad and now I can see an incredible hockey player, I guess thats where I get it from,” stated Helios smiling.
SPARKY HAS A FAVOUR TO ASK
Sparky is looking for a few good men to help next week clear out the empties from the Tomcat room. If interested, please show up at 6:15 ready to work. “There is not a lot up there but with a few guys helping it will make the job go by quicker,” stated Sparky. So, please come out and pitch in, don’t ask what the Tomcats can do for you, ask what you can do for the Tomcats.

FUNNYNESS HARRY BALLSONUE STYLE
I Polish guy goes to the DMV (in the states) to apply for a drivers license. First he had to take and eye sight test. The optician showed him the letter card, C Z W I X N O S T A C Z. “Can you read this”? the optician asked. “Read it,” replied the Polish applicant, “ I know the guy!”
Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them “I must tell you all something, we have a case of gonorrhoea in the convent.” “Thank God” said an elderly nun at the back, “I’m so tired of Chardonnay.”
While you are thinking about the two funny stories, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
