Teams:
The Doc Lippizzans : Doc, Beep, Tonto, Snowpants, Falcon, Sparky and Kramdon
The Killer Cleveland Bays: Killer, Sunny, Matador, Chevy, Stevo, Helios and Hollywood
The Kamikaze Appaloosa: Kamikaze, Soupy, Tunzie, Shack, The Terror, Jingles and Squid
Very, very good hockey last night, the Killer Cleveland Bays played three overtime games. Teams were even, but in the end, the Doc Lippizzans won the night.
Fantastic goaltending on all three fronts, Hollywood, Falcon and The Terror.
Great line…“When did we start playing overtime games?” asked Killer. Stevo replied, “sometime in mid-November we started, it was on the web site.” “We have a web site?” asked Killer. (compliments of Soupy)
ALSO, Thanks to the three Captains for stepping up and being Captain’s. Doc, Kamikaze and Killer, no complaints, no groans, they just did it without missing a beat.
Thanks to Snowpants for putting away the sticks and the clock. It does not go unnoticed and St. Felix is watching, he has a special place for you when you cross over to the big Ball Hockey Heaven.
Ticket sales
Rocky indicated in a telephone conversation, that ticket sales were going well and is encouraging everyone to keep up the great work in sales. “We are going to need money for food and to buy booze, so keep selling and handing the money in, it is quite important that you do,” Rocky stated.
Lots of alumni have bought tickets, still waiting on Mez, Finner and Bones to reply.
Next Week
If you know you can’t play next week, let Stevo know, he is in charge for one more week as Rocky is on the DL.
Super Bowl
With the NFL being fixed, I am predicting an interesting game. The Rams got in on a missed call, Hmmmmmm. Patriots are in, so that Brady can get his 6th ring. Should be an interesting game, don’t put any money down because you don’t know who is supposed to win, it is all in the hands of Vegas. Save your money and take your wife out for dinner. (Patriots win by 8)
Interesting information, as the Tomcats are more than just Hockey:

- President of the largest steel company?

- President of the Bank of International Settlement?
- Great Bear of Wall Street?
These men were considered some of the world’s most successful of their days. Now, 80 years later do you know what ultimately became of them?
The Answers:

However, in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open, was Gene Sarazen. What became of him?
He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95. He was financially secure at the time of his death.
The Moral:
Screw work. Play golf.
Question for you
