Not by design, but last evening became a throw back event. Not because Hurricane was in attendance. Oh no. But because the Sparky Clock stopped functioning (SOS Sparky, SOS!).
Without a functioning score clock, the old flip score chart was dusted off to track score. Some of the “less tenured” guys asked will we keep track of time? Those of us old enough to remember recall prior to the Sparky Clock, games were a “First to 7” format. Rocky declared “first to 7 wins!”
The teams were selected using the Bullwinkle Algorithm and were:
Snowpant’s Snowflakes – Terror in net, Nico, Soupy, Jingles, Chico, Matador, Kamikaze, Killer and Snowpants of course.
Green Giant’s Evergreen’s – Bender in net, The Professor, Hurricane, Rocky, Shack, Bullwinkle, Tonto, Chevy and Green Giant of course.
Game 1 took 45 minutes to reach a winner with the Snowflakes taking it 7-5. Game 2 was agreed to only be played to 5 anticipating another 45 minute game. That game too was won by the Snowflakes.
Really fast-paced hockey all night with each team having two full line ups. As usual, goaltending was spectacular.
Next Tuesday – Rocky needs to know all who are attending hockey and those just coming for drinks and pizza afterwards. Many Tomcat alums expected to attend. Watch for the email from Rocky and respond promptly. $10 covers hockey, pizza and drinks (Tomcats will foot the test).
One more night left in 2023…come on out for a great Tomcat tradition!
Just Around the Corner:
The annual Tomcat Tournament is not too far away. Early in the New Year an email will come from Soupy and Kamikaze looking for commitment. Date is Saturday February 24th. For the first time ever, teams will be picked (and COACHED) by 4 retired Tomcats! Suits behind the bench giving teams orders and setting lineups and strategy! Will be another new and interesting wrinkle to our annual tradition. You want to clear that weekend now!
Tomcats Forever!
