You would think these guys had been playing since mid July the way they were going out there. Good hockey and thanks for the goalies for playing in net as it was a Hotzie Totzie one out there. Speaking of net, Bagz, a third round pick in 2016 made his Tomcat debut, he played and impressed with his quick blocker saves. “I am just getting used to the big show here, I am in awe,” Bagz had indicated.
One interesting event was the goal off the back board. Sunny did not seem impressed with the attempt and the outcome. “I was ready to make a glove save off the back of the wall and then realized the back board was there and by then it was too late. Tonto, that sneaky little devil tapped it in,” stated Chico.
Skippy played out last night after having back surgery last week. Heroic!
Snowpants made a toast at the end of the night for 30 years of Tomcat hockey. “To 30 more,” he said. Stevo will be 90, Bulldog will be 82, Hurricane will be 92. All three original members played last night.
Start of the year gift was handed out.
Several very good looking Tomcats donning their new Tomcat start of the season hat!
Not all Tomcats did normal summer routine to get ready for Tomcat hockey season, here Hollywood shows why he is called Hollywood or should we say Hollywoodsky or Hollywoodnovich, perhaps Hollywoodorenko
Training Camping Battle Creek Report
Once again, training camp was incredibly awesome. ‘Good Times Had By All’ as they say. Some new nicknames popped up by a bartender at the local watering hole, ‘Cheap Wedding Dad’, ‘Perv’, ‘Trafficker’ and ‘Ultra Perv’. Tomcats will keep their regular names, but there are some good ones there.
Chevy is looking at changing the dates around for next year, to a few days in August, with a ‘
Monday to Wednesday’ type of thing. Less golf (sore backs) and less expensive. Look to Chevy for further details as they become available.
If you don’t like to constantly laugh, golf and drink beer, then this trip is not for you.
Chevy arranged for a new Tomcat Training Camp Golf Shirt, boys look smart in the Sky Blue Shirts.
Winner of the CBTMS (Cougar Bush, Two Man Scramble) were La Bamba and Bagz:
I have not been told too much more about Battle Creek, but I heard a few guys whispering and laughing hysterically, something about ‘where you guys from…Buffalo. We are the Buffalo Bisons alumni team, La Bamba was the pitcher and Sparky was the catcher’. One other one was, ‘at my age sperm does not shoot out in a stream, it is more of a poof of smokef’.
When you are checking out the group photo and asking yourself, ‘which one is Ultra Perv’, and why don’t I go on this trip, do you think I can put my Harry Ballsonue?
