And where would any of these fellows be with out the following who attended as well, The Stomper, Roxy, The Unicorn, Lady Di, Mrs Terror, Supermodel Katie, Joad The Toad, Helping Hands, Serta Soft Hands and Mrs Killer.

The Genie, Stevo, Sea Lion and First Lady Roxy start the festivities off with a toast to the holidays and the Tomcats!
Teams Made By: Matador
The Slim Jims – Captain Slim Jim, Sunny, Cribzie, Matador, Scuz, Stevo, Kamikaze, The Terror
The Pepperets – Captain Chico, The Falcon, Sparky, Chevy, Snowpants, Hollywood, Soupy,
The Pepperets beat the Slim Jims, by scores of 10-7 and 8-6. Good clean hockey, you can’t ask for more.

Kamikaze wounded on a Chevy snap shot…”I should get a Purple Heart for this blocked shot,” Kamikaze whimpered.
After Hockey, Hollywood brought out a spread of 4 different kielbasa (keeping the meat theme going), crackers and cheese, he also brought a 30 instead of his 12 and then instead of a 24 he brought another 30 pack as his fine case. “I love the guys, I do it for the guys, I am sorry for throwing my stick, but in the end, I am disappointed in myself for throwing the stick, but happy that the Tomcats could enjoy the beer and kielbasa and cheese,“ stated Hollywood.
Chico was heard saying, “Hey Hollywood, I’m really enjoying your sausage.”
Final week of surveys, they will now be reviewed and results will be provided to the Tomcats, thanks to those for taking the time to complete them. Results will be published during the Christmas Break.
Slim Jim had a stellar night on a losing cause, after the outstanding performance, the Tomcats presented him with his very first Tomcat tee-shirt and with a set of Tomcat Towels, “I can’t say for sure, but I am almost certain, I saw small tears in his eyes when Stevo was giving him the Tomcat garb,” stated Cribzie.

Slim Jim snaps in 3 goals tonight and is presented with a Tomcat Tee Shirt …a Tomcat Towel and some advice…“get yourself some decent gym shorts… this isn’t Strathroy!”
“I can’t thank the Tomcat organization enough, for first of all drafting me, now giving me this great opportunity to play at the Kapusta Kow Palace, on Saturday nights my family and I would sit around our TV and watch the Tomcats play and here I am, now a proud owner of my very first Tomcat Tee shirt and a set of Tomcat Towels, pinch me,” stated Slim Jim!
There is an email coming out about the February tournament I am being told once again, so I am thinking it will be sent out by the organizers, Doc and Kamikaze very soon?? In the mean time, your four Captains for this years tournament are Rocky, Chevy, Cribzie and La Bamba. Those are some fine Captains, great choice.
Have you told Rocky that you will be attending the December 19 night of hockey and that you will be participating in the festivities after, in pizza, beer, spirits, fun and laughter? If you have not told him, then please do. Tomcats paying for Pizza, so your cost is nothing, but make sure you have a DD.
Beer List: make sure you know when your beer night is, if you miss it, bring the beer in the first night that you are back.
Hey, while you are thinking about Chico’s quote and wondering, what did he actually mean when he said, ‘hey Hollywood, I’m really enjoying your sausage,’ do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue?


Ok, in 28 years of ball hockey, I’ve blocked countless shots, both between the pipes and in front of the net. If my body was a Gerry Cheevers mask, there would be no room to put stitch marks where my bruises on top of bruises have been. Kamikaze blocks one frikin shot and he gets a picture and special mention??? WTF!
