‘And the G. Finner award goes to…Hollywood’
Some great story lines this tournament, Lovie wins his very first Stanely’s cup and the MVP Award, Hollywood wins the G. Finner Award, Big Ned wins the Most Spprtsman like and…and,,,and…everyone else wins for being part of the tournament.
It was indeed a very good tournament, the first game was a bit choppy, but by the Championship Game, they were only playing hockey and yes, Lovie, a greater man you will never meet, won his first ever Stanely’s Cup. “I don’t know what to say, My first Stanley’s cup, and the MVP, there is no way I thought this would happen when I woke up this morning,” stated an openly weeping Lovie
The first game started out like it was a ‘do or die’, type of thing, hacking-wacking, but after that, things went very smoothly. In the first game the Snowpants team was down 5-2 to the Tonto Tomahawks, but they came back to tie the game up at 7-7.
The final game was played between the Rocky Rushers and Snowpant’s Shooting Stars and the Snowpant’s Shooting stars took the game 6-2. “I thought The Terror stood on his head in that game, we outshot them, but just could not score,” stated Matador.
THE G. FINNER AWARD
The G. Finner award went to Hollywood for his incredible work on the track suits, the 30th year anniversary tee shirt. He is responsible for building the boards and organizing the upcoming Tomcat 30 year anniversary Gala. He truly is a great Tomcat and is a deserving award winner.
No awards were handed out for the best looking Tomcats, but if there was an award, it would go to Jingles and Chico.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MANY
Hollywood organized a limited edition Tomcat 30 Anniversary shirt and got 8 Tomcats to contribute to the shirt, so it would not cost the tomcats a single red dime. Those who contributed are: Hollywood, Sparky, Jingles, Lovie, The Rake, Chevy, Stevo and Rocky.
Special thanks go out to the four Captains, who organized their teams and paid for and provided tee shirts for their players and even went out of their way to provide shirts to members of the Tomcats who were not part of their team per say. Thanks to Sunny for giving a shirt to everyone and to the four Captains, Sunny, Rocky, Tonto and Snowpants.
Thanks to the refs, Sea Lion and the Bundura who had to take the verbal abuse from players. We hope this is not their last year.
Thanks to Doc and Kamikaze for organizing the tournament, a lot of work goes into the tournament and organizing the draft, and prizes, so thanks to them for doing an outstanding job.
THE 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TRACK SUIT
Wow, the track suits are impressive from the logo, to the entire suit. Great fit, great look, great job by Hollywood. All in all 46 track suits ordered.
IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN THIS?
RUMOURS
A strong rumour circulating around the stage was that the Turk could have played this tournament, but Mrs. Turk would not let him, because she knew he would get 6 new Tomcat tee shirts. (Don’t worry Turk, I’m sure the Tomcats will get a few shirts your way….but shhhhhhh don’t tell Mrs. Turk)
LOST AND FOUND
A Beeps’ Honey Badger shirt was left on stage after the tournament. Anyone missing this shirt is asked to contact Hollywood.

When you are checking out the picture of Jingles and Chico and thinking to yourself, ‘you know, they really are the best looking Tomcats’, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
