Two full teams last night with 4 guys on the bench, allowing teams to strategically run 2 full lines. 15 minute periods were played given the bench sizes, despite the warm air in the Kapusta. The Falcon and Terror were troopers dealing with the heat wearing all that equipment.
TEAMS:
Black Antumbra’s – Terror in net, Max (aka Speed Stick), Skippy, Soupy, Killer, Green Giant, Rocky, Bullwinkle and Hurricane
White Totality’s – Falcon in net, Kamikaze, Big Ned, The Professor, Sunny, Animal, Chevy, Jingles and Chico
Pretty even teams but the Antumbra’s took the night. The winning team featured a forward line that spanned the largest amount of years in age between players – Speed Stick and Hurricane. The lineup proved to be a lot to handle despite the age discrepancy. By the end of the night, the pairing was referred to as Speed Stick and Old Spice.
Shoutouts to the following Tomcats for being true Tomcats by showing up with some goodies for the boys:
– Soupy brought a case
– Sunny brought a case
– Sparky showed up despite still rehabbing the hip with a case
– The Rake showed up despite being retired with beer and some meat, crackers and cheese
These guys remind us all what being a Tomcat is all about!!!
Speaking of The Rake. He has graciously offered to help plan a feast for after hockey (the last night of the season) next Tuesday. He is enlisting the help of Hollywood, Terror’s wife and possibly others from what I am told.
The Tomcats want to invite all Tomcats, old and new, to come out for the final night to play or to just hang out and take in Feast de la Rake. Rocky will send the usual email but needs to know total head count for food and drinks. Let’s send out 2023-2024 with a bang!
Board of Directors Meeting – Like always, a BoD meeting is being planned for a couple of weeks after the last night. Any Tomcat can take part, not just the BoD members. Come and have a say in the future of The Tomcats. Look for more details shortly.
Until next week,
Tomcats Forever
