The turnout was low but the temperature was high. A light turnout for the first night of Tomcat hockey as many guys had commitments that will taper off shortly. While the temperature in the Kapusta was about 85F, it was 110F for the goalies. Big shout out to Falcon and Shack for manning the pipes during the heat wave!

Adding to the heat, we had short benches, meaning lots of running and sweating across the board.
Teams:
Falcon’s Black Boilers – Falcon, Hobbs, Chevy, Skippy, Hurricane and Rocky
Shack’s White Warmers – Shack, Snowpants, Animal, LaBamba, Doc and Killer
A 3-period game was played. Pretty good action for opening night as all the guys were shaking rust off. The White Warmers won the evening but the scoring was close.
Doc kicked off the scoring for 2024-2025 by netting the first goal. Hurricane broke his own record for the 24th time by being the oldest Tomcat to score a goal.

Next Week:
Rocky is out of town. Soupy will be in charge. $60 for start of year and Soupy will hand out the gifts (did not arrive last night). Check the beer list and bring yours early if you won’t be here on your night.
We need sticks cleared out so we plan to move all sticks to the other side of the stage and only 2 sticks per Tomcat can reside in our regular room.
