The thing with heat is, no matter how cold you are, no matter how much you need warmth, it always, eventually, becomes too much.
For the select group of Tomcats that actually played Tuesday evening, they now know what it would be like if the Tomcats played through the summer. You know that old, dusty floor that is often the cause for slipping? It was so humid in the Kapusta last night, the floor offered no slip at all…screeching of shoes could be heard all evening. The Falcon was overheard asking Snowpants, as he tried to broom the floor, to gather all the dust in front of his net so he could at least move side-to-side somewhat. Snowpants also took time to open all the windows high up in the rafters of the Kapusta with the hopes any air movement would help. Thanks for the efforts as always Snowy!
The teams taking part in SweatFest 2019 included:
Terror’s Torches – Terror, Kamikaze, Rocky, Chevy, Bullwinkle and Soupy
Falcon’s Furnaces – Falcon, Killer, Shack, Beep, Chico, Tonto and Snowpants
The teams played games of two timed periods of 10 minutes. Falcon’s Furnaces proved to be the better team taking both games (3-1 then 8-5). Despite the oppressive heat, the games were clean, passes were crisp and the saves were beautiful.
Huge shoutout to Bagz…due to low numbers, the Tomcats had to cancel him last minute again. He still showed up to drop the puck, keep time (remember, the clock is currently broken), and to have a beer with the boys. This guy is already becoming a Tomcat legend! Also to Bullwinkle, who made sure the beer was on ice. Another Legend in the making. These new guys are already displaying what it really means to be a Tomcat!
And speaking of low numbers…several Tomcats thought to be returning in October did not show up. REMEMBER – Unless you have specifically told Rocky the dates you are out, you need to let him know each week if you are not playing. Check the website Monday afternoon, and if the Tomcats think you are in, and you are not, then let Rocky know.
That is all for now
Tomcats Forever
