The season has started, it was hot.
I never envy the goalies in weather that is like this, because it is too hot to play, but it was the first night of hockey, they go through a lot with balls whistling at their heads and at them, and then when the weather is nice, it is hotter in the Kapusta Kow Palace, then hell, but they played in all the games, except for the very last one, because it did not mean anything, because the Sunny Sabres were already the winners of the night.
Hockey was very good, no shenanigans and everyone, was almost in mid season form, “It was a good night, nice to see the boys back together again, it was hot though, I will give you that much,” stated Snowpants.
After hockey, after the fifty dollars is paid, Rocky, with his trusty assistant, Sheep Dog, handed out beautiful new hoodies. A front pouch area for keeping your hands warm, Grey in colour and the writing in bold orange lettering. Designs by Tomcats own, Hollywood. “They are very nice hoodies, something different, Hollywood did a great job,” stated Rocky.
Keep up the great play from tonight for the rest of the season and the Windsor Tomcats will have a great great year.
Battle Creek Michigan
Some of the Tomcats attended the training camp in Battle Creek Michigan again this year, this would have been the 27th year that the Battle Creek trip was attended, it started in 1990, the first few years, the Tomcats went to Port Huron Michigan on a fishing trip (a pole or tackle box was never packed). Then a few years after, it was suggested to them by then Tomcat, ‘The Mayor’, that they go to Battle Creek Michigan to golf. Which they did and here they were in 2017 going again. “It really is a great trip, I don’t know if this year I stopped laughing, maybe when I slept, but that would have been it,” stated Cribzie.
Cribzie and Baggz were the 2 man team Scramble Champions.
Cribzie and Bagz take this years Tomcat Championship at training camp in Battle Creek. “A team effort, its great to be a Tomcat,” said Cribzie.
“We had great guys this year, no issues, no drama, no problems what so ever,” stated a beaming Stevo. “Chevy got us some fantastic golf shirts with the Tomcat logo, I know what he spent on them and we all say, thanks so much Chevy,” Stevo added.
Windsor Tomcat Training Camp kicks off the season….great bunch of guys went this year. Next year : September 11-14.2018 … if you want to go… Only go if you enjoy Golf, a few beverages and a laugh after laugh after laugh.
Just a little bit of housekeeping, if you cannot make it to a night of hockey, please let Rocky know.
While you are checking out the cool hats that Cribzie and Baggz won and the the shirts worn by the Battle Creek 12, do you think, just for a moment, I could put my Harry Ballsonue?
