Since this season start is delayed, let’s look back at the recap of the first night of Tomcat hockey in 2011:
by Harry Ballsonue
TEAM WHITE HAWKS; Cribs, Lovie, Razor, Sunny, Soupy, Hurricane, Chevy, Doc, Snowpants and Sparky
TEAM BLACK CATS; Rake, Stevo, Crow, Spinner, Shamus, Rocky, Junior, Skippy and Yuri.
The season did start with a bang and a thump and a ball to the eye….It all involved Doc and his crazy way, when he crashed the crease and almost knocked poor Skippy unconscious. No penalty was called on the play.
Later in the game, Doc took a ball to the eye ball and went out of the game for a good 40 minutes.
The scores were 7-4 and 7-6 for the Black Cats.
In the second game, the White Hawks were up 5 to 2, but a fierce determined run by the Black Cats, had them score 4 unanswered goals to make it 6 to 5. Sunny came in and razzled, dazzled and then razzled some more and scored to tie it up. Then with a stroke of some luck Spinner was in front of the net as it hit Razor’s pad and bounced on to his stick. 7-6 for the Black Cats as they carried Spinner off the floor on their shoulders, shouting ‘Spinner, Spinner, Spinner”.
Honorable mention goes to both net minders, Razor and Skippy who did a splendid job on a very hot night at the Kapusta Kow.
Hockey costs only $40 dollars for the year and your first week is included in the price.
Rake and Spark provided beer tonight and Lovie gets ‘the big solid’ award, by brining a 40 banger of Wisers, ‘just because’..that is leadership my readers.
Tomcats provided 10 extra beers tonight and will do so as the year continues..if beer is needed.
Have you had a chance to read the September Issue of the St. Felix? I strongly suggest you do, as it is loaded with fun information on the Windsor Tomcats.
Till next time, keep your stick on the floor and go to the net and good things will happen as I put my Harry Ballsonue.
Dave Hann training circa 1987If 2020 were a normal year (and it has been anything but), the Tomcats would be in their final week of pre-season conditioning. Chevy would be wrapping up his 15km weekly runs, Snowpants would be waxing his pants and knee pads to allow for frictionless sliding across the floor, Falcon would be thinking about putting his equipment back in the bag (who’s kidding…it is still in there from the last night of hockey in March), dedicated Tomcats would be meeting at the Kapusta to make sure the stage, floor and Tomcat Room were ready for the season.
However, none of that is to be this week. Instead, Tomcat Management is preparing a questionnaire to gauge interest and concerns for a November start. Be on the lookout for this shortly.
Rest assured, other planning is happening. Start of the year gifts are being ordered, Stevo is blocking his calendar for the week before and after the February tournament so he can get into his “Tomcat Christmas” mindset, Rocky has purchased extra backup chargers for his phone to handle the rash of Tuesday afternoon calls and texts about who is playing or not, and Killer has placed an order for new, fancy garden gloves.
So with the extra training/conditioning time allotted this year, what will YOU do to prepare for the eventual start of Tomcat hockey? Let us know. We hear Chevy is looking for running partners on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings.
