With the annual tournament just a few weeks away, the speed of play is notching up. The two teams last night both showed speed all night long. There was no let up once hockey started.
Before we get into the teams, an item of note from the last few weeks…guys committing and not showing up without letting Rocky know. If you commit to play, but need to back out, text Rocky. There have been guys the last two weeks that said they were in, drafted to a team, and never showed up and not a peep from them. That’s not how Tomcats operate. Beer fines will be levied against guys who choose not to communicate.
Also, if you have missed your beer night, please provide ahead of the tournament so we are properly stocked.
The Teams:
The White Whirlwinds – Terror in net, Rocky, Matador, Bullwinkle, Kamikaze, Animal, Shinzy (formerly The Splitter), and Snowpants.
The Black Bolts – Bender in net, Soupy, Chevy, Big Ned, The Professor, Killer, and Hurricane.
The teams were very even on paper after making adjustments when guys didn’t show up. The scoring started early and kept a consistent pace. Both teams made sweet passes and great movement with and off the ball – again, there was tournament-like pace being played.
And speaking of the tournament…
Stevo Golden Seals Add Youth
With contract talks stalling with perennial superstar, Matador, the Golden Seals reached into their farm system and called up and up and coming superstar, Solstice for the tournament. “There was no way we were going to give Nylander money to the Madator, The Leafs should not have given that kind of money to a guy that plays on the perimeter, and we were not going to to that with the Matador. He becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1, he can sign with anyone he wants to,” indicated Coach and GM Stevo. In other news, the Golden Seals announced their captains. Green Giant will be the captain at home games along with assistants Big Ned and Jingles. For away Games, Shack will be the captain, with the A’s going to Kamikaze and Solstice.
Please provide your shirt sizes to your captain so they can provide to Rocky who can provide them to Hollywood who can provide them to the shirt maker so all shirts are ready for the tournament.
REMINDER: Tournament is $20 to your captain (which then goes to Rocky), and $10 to Jingles for pizza. Make sure to have your $30 on you that day.
Referees – We still need a knowledgeable and thick-skinned Tomcat to be a ref on tournament day. One on the floor is sufficient and we can always use the extra Coach/captain or a board member to be a stage ref. Please consider helping out!
Rocky is out of town next week so Soupy has the book and will run the show. Rocky will send out the email and you can respond to him. Day of changes next Tuesday need to be texted to Soupy directly. Don’t be a no show!!
Tomcats Forever!
