In a medical press release by the Windsor Tomcats, it was announced yesterday that Rocky’s ‘lower body injury’ is not healing as quickly as the medical staff thought it would, so another MRI’s has been ordered and at this very moment, Rocky is a doubtful starter for the September 18 opening night of the 2018-2019 season.
Chico has indicated that he is hoping he can play full time this year and is just waiting or some details to be worked out with his son’s baseball schedule. It certainly would be nice to have Chico back in the fold, playing goalie or playing out, his contagious smile is a welcome any Tuesday night on stage and on the Kapusta Kow floor. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for Chico’s return.
Crow has signed a two year deal to play in Europe with AKA Bargirl.
Stevo…The Tomcats can’t shake this guy. He started to take on a lessor role with the Tomcats and then found himself running the organization when Rocky went down with an injury, it looks like he might be back at the helm for the start of the 2018/19 season. “Its like the line from Godfather 2, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in,” stated Stevo.
It’s the 30th year anniversary this year of the Windsor Tomcats, Rocky is looking to you for suggestions on how to celebrate this momentous occasion. Your Input is Important, so please give it some thought and let Rocky know. The BoD have some ideas in play already which include a special event and commemorative gift.
Terror and others who are thinking of attending Toronto Maple Leaf hockey games this year, are asked to go to 41 other possibilities and not the one on Saturday February 23, 2019. That is the Tomcat Tournament date so mark the tournament date down today.
From the President
I hope my fellow Tomcats are enjoying the summer thus far. It won’t be long now before we are back at the Kapusta, so enjoy your free Tuesday evenings while they last. This season marks a great milestone for the Tomcats…30 years and going strong! We’ll look for ways to build our 30 year legacy into this season, but as Harry noted, if you have any ideas, let me know.
The Tomcats are looking to have a “clean up” day at the Kapusta some weekend morning in August. This gives us a chance to get into the facilities and make small repairs, and get the place ready for the season. There is some discussion about stripping and re-waxing the floor so more to come. We will need a few good Tomcats to volunteer to make this happen.
Outside of that, we are looking forward to another year of clean hockey and good laughs over beer on stage.
Finally, Mrs. Rocky and I are holding our annual “Splash Bash” pool party on Saturday, August 18th, 4pm onward. Any Tomcat is welcome to attend. Ghost Crossing will perform a small set of songs. BYOB, no glass, bring a dish to pass (BBQ food provided), come ready to swim and adults only. Let me know if you plan on attending.
Yours in all things Tomcats,
Rocky
And while you are checking out the picture and saying to yourself, gee that Rocky looks handsome, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
