The Final Night of Hockey – not to be

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
Hamlet (via William Shakespeare)
What should have been the final night of the Tomcat 2019-2020 season was not to be.  The Pandemic of 2020 caused a much too early end to this season, as like the rest of the globe, we lock down with our families to help flatten the curve.  While we rushed into seclusion in a blink of an eye, coming back out of our current situation will take longer.  However, just as certain we know Chevy will always think shoot first, pass third, we also know this situation will end, and we will return to normal at some point.  It just takes patience and time…
If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
Martin Luther King Jr.
While we can’t celebrate another glorious end to the Tomcat season, we can reflect upon previous “last night of hockey” from days gone by:

 

BoD Meeting:
Still waiting for social distancing restrictions to be relaxed before deciding on date for BoD meeting.  There will be a meeting sometime before fall, and any Tomcat is welcome to take part.  Stay tuned for details.

THE BILL BUKSA MEMORIAL KAPUSTA OPEN

“Right now we are hopeful, but it is possible we may have to postpone it and or just cancel it for this year, I will let everyone know, once we know”. The Turk.
TOMCAT OPEN
“I’m predicting we will back in a semi-normal state by June 8, if not earlier, so the Tomcat Tournament will be played with no hitch and no problem,” indicated Snowpants, the Minister of Golf and Pyrotechnics and foreseer of virus’s and other deadly events.” He added, “I will be letting everyone know more details, soon enough, start putting in the basement, pitching in the back yard and be ready,” Snowpants concluded.  The tournament goes Saturday June 13, 2020, 8:30 am start.
KOBASSA GOLF TOURNAMENT 
Stevo is indicating that he now has 12 participants for the Kobassa Open, they are: The Rake, Hurricane, The Howler, The Turk, Snowpants, Sheep Dog, Bagz, Soupy, May Day, Bundura, Little Bird and Stevo.  “This event is 3 months away, I am sure I can squeeze 4 more into the tournament if need be.  I am looking for even number as it is a two man scramble.”  Cost is $10 and that gives you beer and food back at Stevo’s.
THE DIRTY GROWLER MR. GORDON GOLF LEAGUE
Mayday wants everyone to know that the golf league will be starting up again as soon as the nicer weather gets here and as soon as we are allowed on the courses.  Monday’s are the day and two to three courses will be selected throughout the years play.  Playing in one round qualifies you for the year end banquet.  Watch for an email from the Commissioner himself.
