WE ARE ALSO LEARNING
Tomcat Medical Staff are telling us that Sheep Dog is being put on the shelf for a few months with an undisclosed injury, Coach Sealion indicated “When you have played as hard as this Blue Chip Defensemen, I can see where the body starts to breakdown.

In Canada Ukraine NEWS
Organizers are in the early stages of looking at doing another Canada Ukraine game, very popular in the 90’s at the Kapusta Kow Palace. No one was willing to talk about it, except May Day who gave us some information and some very usable quotes. The format would be the same as it use to be, except with so many players now, there would be try outs and cuts. Each team would select two goalies and both would not necessarily get in the game as it would be the coaches decision. Yes, coaches, in the same vein as the recently suggested Legendary players as Captains of the main tournament in February as suggested by La Bamba, the two coaches/mangers have been selected and they would be The Bundura for Ukraine and The Sea Lion for Canada. Both Coaches would select 10-13 players for the event and then go with their best 10 players (4 defensemen, 4 forwards and 2 goalies) “Yes some players would be selected, attend a tryout and then possibly get cut”, stated May Day a perennial player for Ukraine for years often compared to the great Alexander Yukashev. It is not known if this will stir some interest from past players to come back and try out for their team. One player that comes to mind is Canada’s top player, Crispy. “I have not talked to him personally,” stated May Day, “But it would not surprise me that if and when he hears of this game, that he comes out of retirement and tires out for Canada.” In the meantime, The Ukrainian government was granting Ukrainian citizenships to Crowchuck, Beepsky and Sunnyostalvitch….and here is the thing the game will be Broadcast on Tomcat Radio, CLIT-FM but will not be on Tomcat television as it will be a ‘Pay per View’ event. More to come, but stick around, this could prove to be a very interesting night of hockey.
As you are checking out the Photo of the Rake from 20 years ago, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue?
