“The more goalies we have in the system the better”, stated Windsor Tomcat Team Captain Rocky, “We can’t have enough.”
If you look at the line up, there are some missing players. On the IR are Turk, Jingles and Hurricane. (Hurricane has an * beside his name)
Also gone from the crease is fan favorite Razor. “This is the first official time that I am out, I will miss the road trips, the fans and of course the fun on stage.” Razor has been hired on as the goaltending coach, so the team will still see him around quite a bit.
Who is Bullwinkle ? Great question, you may have remembered him as Ricky last year, but Ricky? That’s a first name, let’s call Snowpants, Jerry or Cliff. He is Rocky’s friend, so as of now, we are calling him Bullwinkle…get it, Rocky and Bullwinkle. Someone will need to come up with something else…..but for now he is Bullwinkle!
Beep is brining out a fella, his nickname is Moose. He is Beep’s size ! He is a part timer, you might not see him for a few weeks.
May Day has signed a one year deal with the Tomcats to give them stability on defense, he will be a part time player.
Hurricane underwent surgery in the off season, and is questionable for the start of the season.
Next week further details about the roster and I answer some of your emails.
While you are checking out the line up and saying to yourself, ‘wow, Killer is on the first line this year”, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
The Rake returns, playing in his 25th year with the
Tomcats, “Tuesday nights are great, I kiss my daughter and wife good night, come to the Kapusta Kow and hang out with the best guys ever, the Windsor Tomcats.”
