According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the weather folklore stems from ancestral beliefs in balance, meaning if the weather at the start of March was bad (roaring, like a roaring lion), the month should end with good weather (gentle, like a lamb)
The Weather seems to be the same all month…so what does the Farmers Almanac know, Tomcats know hockey. Some good hockey played last night with a mini.
Lizard Lions Lizard, Chico, Soupy, Killer, Stevo, Bender, Sparky and Jinges.
Tonto Tigers Tonto, Hurricane, Kamikaze, Cribzie, Falcon, Shack, Rocky and Chevy
Matador Mustangs. Matador, May Day, Animal, Kamikaze., Sunny, Snowpants, Bullwinkle and 10Carat
Matador and Hurricane both brought a 24, put her there boys.
Special thanks to Sparky for getting rid of the empties. And thanks to those that helped with the empties and carrying them from the Tomcat room, Cribzie, Bender, Sunny, Matador, Stevo and of course Sparkilicious.
April 5 is next week
Last night of regular Tuesday night hockey is next week, Rocky will send out an email, please respond letting Rocky know if you are playing or not
Tomcat Hockey Tournament Saturday April 9, 2022 (There is NO hockey after the tournament)
Kamikaze would like everyone to know that the tournament costs $20 to play, ( you get booze on stage and a cool Tomcat T-shirt ). The tee shirt for the full Team Tomcat shirt is very cool. Pizza is $10 and Jingles will be there to collect money for the pizza. Tournament Captains collect the $20 from each player and then pay Rocky. It is up to each Captain if they ask for money from you for the team tee shirt. It is rare that any Captain asks for money for the team shirt.
Tomcat Golf – The Pantelon de Niege Cup
Snowpants, the minster of golf, advises all Tomcats that the tournament will be held this year on Saturday June 18,2022 If you wish to play, you MUST GET A HOLD OF SNOWPANTS in an email. If you know his texting machine number you can text him. His email is vferranti13@gmail.com. More details to follow as they become available…but mark June 18 off and get a hold of Snowpants. It is Fathers day weekend, so you should be a able to get a pass to play on that Saturday.
Cougar Bush Tour
The Cougar Bush tour will be held on August 22,23,24, three different courses in the Essex Region….(one round in Chatham Kent) save the date, more information to come from the President of the tour, Chevy. If you have any questions, text Chevy directly. It is a fun three days of golf and merriment. There are prizes handed out and a skins game.
The Tomcat Hockey tournament to be held on April 9, 2022 is a fun tournament and it should be treated as such. No NHL scouts will be on stage watching. Full team picture, some exercise, some laughs, pizza and a few beers after, that is what it is all about. PLEASE keep this in mind.
When you are checking out the picture of Snowpants and thinking to yourself, that is one cool dude, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
Windsor Tomcats 
Dear Tomcats,
I must write this letter of apology for missing the Tomcats tournament yesterday. It is one of my favourite events each year and the fact we have missed a couple makes my miss hurt that much more. I know it really messes things up for the team and I want to apologize to Shack and all the players on the team. No Tomcat does something like this.
As much as I want to explain my absence with a valid excuse I can’t do that. There is no excuse for this and I feel badly about ruining it for you guys. I am very sorry for my lack of organization and I hope to play again. Saying that, I would not appeal any decision, even a Will Smith-like 10 year ban or even a Pete Rose lifetime ban. What those men did pales in comparison to my blunder. The fact I did it in a year when I was to play with Sunny for the first time ever makes it grotesquely ironic. What an asshole.
Sorry boys, I hope you will find the forgiveness to speak to me again.
Lovie
