TEAMS:
SOUPY CYCLONES: Soupy, The Terror in net, Bulldog, Lizard, La Bamba, Scooter and Stevo
BEEP MAVERICKS: Beep, the Ginger Bread Man, Killer, Cribzie, El Choppo, Tonto, Chevy and Chico in net
BULLWINKLE GRIZZLIES: Bullwinkle, Snowpants, Jingles, Big Ned, Kamikaze, Rocky and Shack in net
Fierce action as always, good clean hockey, with parity throughout. One OT game, with Snowpants netting the winner with 10 seconds left in the second period. “I basically used Stevo as a screen and blasted one at the net, It just so happened that it got by the Terror,” a beaming Snowpants said. New guy Scooter played well, but was not able to notch a goal, “I was very happy to be out here today, I use to watch the Tomcats on TV, now to be here, I just can’t believe it,” an openly weeping Scooter stated.
Best moment of the night was when team Beep Mavericks did a shoutout chant, “Snowpants blows Mahommes.” Very imaginative. Fans loved it and even the players chuckled out loud.
Kamikaze made a return after a devastating ankle injury. “I felt good out there, the doctors gave me the go ahead. I know it will be tender tomorrow, but I needed to get back on the horse and ride,” stated an exuberant Kamikaze.
Four of the finest Tomcats you will ever meet.
SHOUT OUT
Thanks to Snowpants for bringing the sticks up, The Terror for taking team yellow’s shirt home to wash and Soupy for picking teams and still finding time to go get ice for the beer…”Put her there boys!”
MOP SQUAD
Snowpants and Bullwinkle are looking for some volunteers to come to the Kapusta Kow on the Thursday before the tournament to mop up the floors (playing area and stage area). The date of that would be Feb 27, 2020. Please contact Snowpants or Bullwinkle for time and particulars.
RULES COMMITTEE
The rules committee is looking at changing the high stick rule. They are looking for an implementation as soon as possible but are targeting the tournament, Feb 29, 2020 as the date they would like for it to be implemented. “Basically, the rule would be as soon as you lift your stick over the should area, touching or not touching the ball, it would be a stopped play. The rationale: We don’t want anyone accidentally getting hurt with a high stick,” stated Kamikaze, tournament organizer.
HURRICANE DONE FOR SEASON
“It looks like I am done for the season,” stated Hurricane, holding back tears….. He added, “I have a fracture on the knee cap. I have a brace to stabilize it. Not much can be done except keeping it somewhat immobilized and not bending it too much.” Tomcats management indicates there will be no intervention considered unless it doesn’t improve. It is more of a ‘time thing’ to heal and we can’t take a chance and have him play…we need him to rest for next season. Coach Sea Lion stated, “Any time you loose a tenacious player like the Hurricane, it is tough on the line up. We are going to send him to a medical spa in Mexico for 6 weeks and try treating him with viagra.” When asked if that will help the knee heal, Coach Sea Lion responded with, “No, but it will keep his mind off his sore knee.”
Jingles Jets captain, Jingles, is expecting big things from big Ned!
Tournament Teams have been selected, check previous blog to see what team you are on. It is a 8:30am start, Saturday February 29th. Cost for tournament is $20 paid to your Captain, who in turn pays Rocky. $10 for pizza, pay Jingles for that and let him know if you will be involved with pizza on tournament day. Drinks and pizza will be at the Kapusta Kow, so you do not have to go anywhere. We are asking that if you plan to indulge, then please have a Designated Driver. Beer will be supplied by the Tomcats.
NEW GOLF TOURNAMENT; Friday July 7th KOBASSA OPEN
Stevo is organizing a new golf tournament this year, it is a two man scramble, it will be called the Kobassa Open, not the Keilbassa Open…cost is $10 to enter plus golf cost. $10 will get you dinner and drinks after the golf tournament at Stevo’s place. There will also be a first place prize for the winners. If interested get your $10 to hold your spot. The tournament will only go with an even amount of guys (two man scramble, if you understand the concept). It should be a fun day, it’s a Friday in the summer, so, why not join to play.
While you are thinking about poor Hurricane and being out for the season, and maybe asking him to bring you back some Viagra, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
