Did you know March 10, was the last day of Tomcat hockey played? We have gone a year without playing, this COVID thing is really getting me down. Stay positive, we will be back soon, September is only 7 months away.
MEET BULLWINKLE
Favourite professional Athlete: Wendel Clark
Favourite play in sports (highlight): Leafs Nikolai Borschevsky’s game 7 OT winning goal against Detroit in the 1993 playoffs
Favourite hockey player growing up: When I was very young it was Lanny McDonald then Wendel Clark
Favourite Hockey player now: Auston Matthews
Favourite movie: The Shawshank Redemption – I really love this movie think I’ve watched it about 6 times
Favourite band: Journey – Don’t Stop Believin!
Your highlight in high school: Meeting life long friends
If you could do one thing for the Windsor Tomcats what would you do? Get a new hi-tech gym floor installed- although snow pants may not agree might put a damper on his sliding.
Your favourite Tomcat: I have 2 -Rocky because if it wasn’t for him bringing me in I would not be a Tomcat and Stevo! Love sitting next to these two guys on stage after playing and being able to shoot the shit and of course collect the bottle caps Stevo graciously gives me☺
Your Favourite Tomcat moment: Finding out I would be a full time player
MEET THE MATADOR: Toro-Toro
My favourite professional athlete: Michael Jordan. MJ was just so dominate and competitive. I admire how much he won championships.
My favourite play in sports: This is a tough one so many to choose from. Crosby’s gold medal goal and Big Ben to Santonio Holmes in the End zone for a super bowl win probably takes the cake! Shoutout to Bautisa’s bomb bat flip!
My favourite hockey player growing up: I would say was Doug Gilmour. When your nickname is ‘Killer’ as feisty and talented as he was, how can you not love the guy!
Favourite hockey player now: Probably Austin Matthews. He’s playing a 200 ft. game and is dominating offensively. His deceiving shot is something I’ve never seen before. I’ve watched a lot of hockey and I think superior.
Favourite movie: Terminator 2
Favourite band: The Beatles.
I grew up listening to them and my family loves em as well. Classic Rock is my go to genre. Special shout out to NWA lol
High school highlight: Would have to be never once getting a detention. I was always able to talk my way out of them. Never missed a party from grade 9-12 and wouldn’t change a thing!! Good times for sure!
What would you do for the Tomcats, if you could: Since joining the Tomcats I’ve brought in 3 of my closet friends. The first thing I told them was how fucking amazing all these guys are. The camaraderie on the stage is something I will never take for granted. You got guys from all walks of life sitting around shooting the shit, talking about sports and what happen on the floor. There’s definitely a lot of wise successful fellas always ready to pass along advice when needed. My favourite thing is when you walk in everyone asks you how you’re doing, how’s the family, and says man it’s nice to see you again! I would do whatever is asked of me for this organization and I’m truly grateful to Stevo for bringing me in!
My favourite Tomcat: This is a tough one. They are all fuckin beauties! Stevo and Sunny are probably my favourites. Stevo’s the Godfather and Sunny’s like the big brother. Sunny and I have got into it on the floor a couple times because of our competitive nature. I’ll tell ya, I felt so fuckin shitty after it was killing me. Before I approached him, he approached me. Me being the younger Tomcat I should’ve been the one who approached him first. He apologized as did I. We hugged it out and I respect the hell out of for it! Special shout out to Snowpants!
Favourite Tomcat Moment: Winning Stanley’s cup my first year as a Tomcat was truly special! I remember killing time in the far corner just waiting for someone to drill me! It never happened and I guzzled MGD out of the cup!
