The day that started as a full-fledged mini, but ended up with only 2 teams, and one spare each. No worries, the teams were well-balanced and had no issues keeping a fast pace all evening. In fact, the Tomcats opted to play the NHL format, 3 twenty minute periods to the delight of the fans.
Teams:
Shack’s Black Candy Canes – Shack, The Ginger Bandit, Chevy, Rocky, Sunny and Tonto
Chico’s White Candy Corns – Chico, Killer, Spraky, Soupy, Bullwinkle and The Lizard
The game was even after the first period (4-4), then even after the second period (8-8). However, the White Candy Corns proved to be too much for the Black Candy Canes and were able to out score Shack’s team 4-0, to end the game at 12-8. Good clean, fast and exciting hockey…you missed a great night if you weren’t there.
Recent Road Trip:
Not often do you get to hear a story told about the teams travel, but here is one, right from head coach Sea Lion.
Two weeks ago, as the Tomcats were to fly from their western road swing, they found themselves with some plane issues and could not fly out of Edmonton on their own plane, TOMCAT 1, so they had to fly commercial. After boarding, Snowpants found himself sitting beside an attractive female in her mid to late 40’s. She knew nothing of the Tomcats as she had just arrived in Canada from Australia to work with a University grant. She was working on her second doctoral, which turned to be in Sexology. So when the conversation started between the two of them she explained who she was and what research she was doing, the rest of the players were quiet and were either watching movies, playing cards, listening to music or sleeping. She asked Snowpants who he thought had the longest penis’ as she was actually doing ‘penis research’ for her doctorate. Snowpants, thought about it, and answered ‘African American’, to which she responded with, “You would think, but no, it’s the Native American Indian.” Then she asked, what about girth? Snowpants thought about this, and threw out ‘Italians’, with his Snowpants laugh. ’No”, she responded and added, “the Polish.” After a few seconds of silence, Snowpants said, “I should introduce myself, my name is Tonto Kowalski.”
Next Week:
Remember next week is the year-end Christmas party after hockey. $10 for pizza and drinks. We’ll go downstairs after hockey and enjoy some laughs and drinks as we head into the holiday break. We are assuming a pretty full place, but let Rocky know if you are not coming out. This will also help us figure out how much pizza to order (thanks Jingles).
Please consider a DD for the evening. Hockey will start back up on January 14, 2020.
Scenes from previous Christmas/Year-end gatherings in the Tomcat Den
Reminder – If you have not let Soupy and Kamikaze know yet, they need to know if you are playing in the annual tournament in February. If we need more guys, we need to showcase guys in the New Year ahead of the draft in January.
