With all the attention on the recent US election and inauguration, one thing became apparent. Bernie Sanders has apparently been hiding in plain sight for a while. Who knew he was using his COVID mask to infiltrate many organizations and worldly hotspots to help try to create the “blue wave.” How did those gloves not give him away more? While his dream of spreading socialism across the globe may be more tempered then he really prefers, he nonetheless was stealthy enough to find his way into very important organizations and undoubtedly gain some knowledge he can use to further his cause.
That made us wonder…The Tomcats are a vital organization to Canada and the world…did he try to infiltrate us? Surely there is much to gain by listening from the shadows of the Kapusta Kow Palace. After all, very heady subjects are often discussed…will the Leafs make the playoffs?…why MGD is the best beer…was that body check into the wall intentional or was it just clumsy play? These are key bits of intelligence any potential world leader could leverage and maybe to the dismay of the Tomcats! What if he were to learn the lyrics of Tomcats Forever???
Since we don’t have security cameras rolling in the Kapusta, we relied on old photos. Wouldn’t you know it, Bernie has been here! Tomcat Management is deciding on the best course of action and will ensure the response is measured but firm!
If you look at this photo below, you may see yourself and you may not…Sunny will see himself, back row, fourth from the right. Killer is there, Hurricane,Rocky (Back Row, he has made it to front row now) Chevy and of course the Falcon and The Rake. Guys you may not know…Libs (he invented the saying ‘Tomcats Forever”) Old Tomcats, no longer around, Finner, Fuzzy, Zaba, Bubbles, Doob, Uwe, Bucko, Mez, Bearcat, Razor and franchise player Crispy. A great photo….a great memory.
What could Happen
One Tomcat who does not wish to be named, but he was a past President is hoping that the Tomcats can start in April. His idea is a four week season (Shortened like the NHL season) and with a tournament on the last Saturday of April ( Saturday May 1)
It comes down to numbers….and if things get better COVID wise, who knows…..there is a thought out there…’if you think of something that is positive, the Universe is to help and see your vision come so if all Tomcats start thinking positive thoughts about a season, maybe it will come true.
Tee Shirt Coming?
Hollywood is looking at doing a tournament shirt for this year, tournament or no tournament. “I plan to do a goodie bag, you know maybe a tee shirt, some COVID Masks, maybe a package of those suppository vaccines from Chevystar-Hurricaerema”. Hollywood stated.
Golf
One golf tournament I forgot to mention in my last blog and who knows if it will be played this year is the Turks’ Kapusta Open, first Saturday of June. Ambassador Golf Course, beer and dog and the turn, dinner back at the Kapusta Kow and a very good prize table…Let’s hope the COVID numbers get drastically better and that the tournament is played.
The Tomcat tournament in June could be a go, again, COVID numbers and vaccines by then?? Anyones guess
Kobassa Open in July, I predict we will be playing that tournament, but what do I know, I am a blogger for the Tomcats.
Flashback
Putting up the old picture of the Tomcats brought back memories not only of Razor, May Day, Junior and Libs, It brought memories of the Tomcats going back to Purples and singing Karaoke, one of the hazings, (Not sure if you can even say that in a blog) was each new Tomcat had to sing a song on the Karaoke machine. Finner belted out ‘King of the road’, with no protest, Killer sang, so did others, I still think of Hurricanes version of the Rolling Stones, “I can’t get no Satisfaction”, and smile, Karaoke superstar The Legend would sing ‘Born to be Wild’ and of course The Sealion, who was the Karaoke King, singing Mack The Knife “Stevo and I use to do a duet, a Willie Nelson Julio Inglesis number, ‘for all the girls I loved before’. There were these two women that would request that song and throw their panties at us, they thought we were pretty good, now mind you, they had been drinking there since noon and where shit faced, but still a fan is a fan.” Sealion stated.
In ending
I don’t know what is going to happen next, most are saying, ‘lets hope there is Tomcat hockey come September. Who knows how many more strains of the COVID there will be….I do know that everyone misses Tuesday nights.Lets think positive thoughts and maybe se can get it going before the summer. And Hey, while you are checking out (in the photo) The Falcon, The Rake, Sunny, Rocky, Killer and Bulldog, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
The way things are going, it is not looking good for ball hockey this year, new records being set in Ontario re cases, new aggressive strain, everyone needs to be more careful now then ever. Federal Government did allow the NHL to play, going on the grounds of National Interest, geez if only the Tomcats had a few more hits on the web site, maybe they could have started too. Maybe not National interest, but certainly Tomcat interest.
Golf
I predict we will be back to some form of normal in July 2021. I do not have any inside information. The Tomcat golf tournament, if it was to be how it is every year, the Fathers Day weekend, it would be held on Saturday June 19,2021. Snowpants and his committee would have to decide if they would have it played this year. Without knowing what will be happening 6 months from now, Snowpants and his committee could organize a different version of the golf tournament.
Kobassa Open
I am being told, that plans are in the works to have the second annual Kobassa Open. The date, (Mark it in your calendar today) is Thursday July 15, 2021. The format will remain the same, it will be a two man scramble with some slight variations to some of the rule/shots. Of course a get together afterwards is too difficult to predict today. Stevo indicated that he will try to change teams up, so that the player you played with last year, will not be the same player you have this year. It is about golf, having some fun and getting to know new people. One rule that is being implemented is that on the two par 5’s one player’s drive has to be used on one of the front par 5’s and the the other players drive on the second par five. This would be same for the par 3’s and of course this would apply to the front 9 and to the back 9.

A Newer Vaccine
A newer vaccine being looked at that has 100% effectiveness is being developed by a pharmaceutical company called Chevystar-Hurricanema is taken orally, and does not need to be stored at frozen temperatures. A representative for the company who dod not wish to be named also indicated that they are working on a Suppository version of the vaccine. “It is very ground breaking.” The companies representative stated.
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all Tomcats present and past….hoping 2021 sees us playing Tomcat Hockey…that we all stay safe and survive. Tomcats Forever.

Some golf news, a one night stand, and science. With all this, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue
