Teams:
Bulldog Honey Badgers: Captain Bulldog, Soupy, Chevy, Doc Tonto, Hollywood, Kamikaze, Jingles and Chico
Hurricane Hornets: Captain Hurricane, Beep, Rake, Matador, Snowpants, Falcon, Stevo, Killer and Junior
The teams split the series, 11-9 for the Hornets and then in overtime, Tonto scores to make it 8-7 for the Honey Badgers. Hockey was a bit choppy so the league is asking that the boys watch their sticks and the hacking and whacking. Jingles took a spill in the North West corner of the Kapusta Now, but early signs show him playing next week.Tomcat medical staff listed him as day to day with a lower body injury.
A big thank you goes out to three Tomcats who, on their very own got new tee shirts for everyone. ‘It was a matter of getting a white tee shirt in the mix and we thought, if we pooled our money we could get everyone a new shirt”. Stated a smiling Chevy. Chevy has been very generous over the years to the Tomcats and won an award last year for his Tomcat Spirit. The Tomcats thank the guys for their Tomcat insight. The logo is an old design and instead of a black tee shirt, which is where it was placed originally, it has now been placed on white tee shirt. If you did not get your tee shirt this past Tuesday, Rake will get you one on your next Tomcat night.
ON THE INJURY FRONT
On the injury front, we are being told that Cribzie’s upper body injury, believed to be a back, has been healing and he should be back in January. First Shea Weber returns for the Habs and now Cribzie returning for the Tomcats. another Festivess Miracle. As for Skuz, his recovery seems closer and he is eyeing a December 18 return, “Hey when I come back, they’re throwing me a big party downstairs, free pizza, beer and spirits, after all, I was the MVP in last year’s tournament”, stated a smiling Skuz. (December 18 also happens to be the Tomcat Christmas Party.)
Skuz also feels he will be ready to play net for the tournament, come February 23.
TOMCAT CHRISTMAS PARTY
Rocky wanted a big thank you to go out to Sunny, Chevy and Snowpants for organizing the Christmas Party at Rock Bottom, “It’s a lot of work, sometimes its like herding cats, but Sunny and the boys do a great job, Chevy always comes through for us with a spot to have the party and the food. Thanks boys, very much appreciated by everyone,” Rocky stated.
Tomcats were very happy with the turnout.
3Oth YEAR ANNIVERSARY GIFT
As mentioned last week, Tomcats looking at doing a 30 year anniversary gift and a full track suit is being looked at. “Instead of having 25 track pants and jackets on stage, and everyone saying ‘oh I think that one is mine,’no that one is mine’, the Tomcats will get numbers on them, we will get numbers on the sleeve and on the pant thigh area”. Stated an information giving Rocky
Hollywood spoke to the boys on stage indicating that he will have samples for guys to try on starting next week. A rough estimate of what it will cost each guy is $40 for a 90 dollar track suit. (That is just a estimate, contributions may be less, the numbers still have to be crunched). Top and Pants, with logo and your number on the sleeve and on the pant leg. 30 years together it certainly would be a collector’s item.
So for track suits and new jacket number issue, here is what we know: IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR NUMBER OR ASK FOR A NEW NUMBER, SEE ROCKY OR STEVO. MOST OF THESE NUMBERS ARE ALREADY ASSIGNED, BUT SOME MAY WANT TO CHANGE THEIR NUMBER. (of course this is if everyone on this list would want a track suit)

Players who are not active and may not read the blog (I cannot believe someone does not read the blog), will be contacted to see if they are interested in a track suit.
BAG OF STUFF…Tomcats are building a bag of clothes shoes, etc. It is for any one that forgets an item. The bag needs some different size shoes and a pair of track pants. Matador used a pair of shorts from the bag last night, so it already has come in handy. If you borrow the item you take it home and wash it and bring it back and place it in the bag for the next user.
This is funny…Two psychotherapists pass each other in the hallway. The first says to the second, “Hello!”
The second smiles back nervously and half nods his head. When he is comfortably out of earshot, he mumbles, “God, I wonder what *that* was all about?”
Hey while you are thinking about the Psychotherapist story, perhaps, I can put my Harry Ballsonue.
