On a mild, rainy March night, we had a Battle on the Seas. The Pirate’s came out looting and shooting, rifling shots, making turnovers, and going hard in the corners. By the end of the night, the Deck Hands were left holding their Deck in their Hands yelling “HEY!”. Game 1 saw a hard fought tie 6-6, with both goalies making some fabulous saves. A slight adjustment on both teams for Game 2, saw the Pirates take it handily, 8-5. Another great turnout, with almost 2 full teams!
Some notable things to mention on the night. We NEED to be aware of going for the ball when the goalie is covering it, or about to cover it. Both goalies had a couple good whacks on the hands, we want to avoid that as much as possible going forward. Also, the pace/level of play in recent weeks has really picked up. A lot more stick work, aggressive plays, and physical confrontations seems to be occurring. It has been great to see the skills and speed of our game improve, but let’s just remember, we are all friends here, we have to work tomorrow, and we’re really all just here for the beer! No incidents yet, but it seems to be trending that way.
Soupy also mentioned that maybe Hobbs should slow down his shots, as he feels they are too hard, in comparison to his muffin of a shot. I’m sure he will take it into consideration.
Tournament Update.

A lot of options for a number 1 overall pick this year, who will it be? All Tomcats, new and retired are encouraged to come out on draft night and have a beer!
Next week is March Break, judging by the responses last night, there should be enough guys to play, but that will be determined this weekend by Rocky. Look out for an email, and let him know if you can play.
Enjoy Guys!
