There was so many teams last night, it’s impossible for me to remember who was on what team, note to self, take a photo of the lineup. Nevertheless, we got a mini! Captains for the night were Tonto, Shack, and Swifty, great job drafting teams, gents! Games were close and the hockey was fast.
There was no clear winner on the night, as the tomcats only played 4 of the 6 games scheduled due to time restraints. Given that the tomcats are either Greek or wanna be Greeks, we polled the people in democratic fashion. it seemed the consensus was that guys don’t like the minis, in their current form. May be something to discuss at the BOD meeting, how to have more guys play, but keep the games flowing. It seems 2 teams with 8 full players is the best option. We have had a great turnout the past few weeks, and that is awesome, we want to keep that up, but we may need to cut off the numbers at first 16 guys and 2 goalies, with full time players getting first dibs. Soupy and Rocky will discuss further this week and come to a decision. Crazy to think that 6 weeks ago we were desperate for guys and now we have plenty. Love to see all the new guys coming out and staying after for beers, that is what we want! We will work out a schedule that works for everyone, full time and part time players.
A couple notes from the outside looking on, we seem to have gotten a little away from the spirit of tomcat hockey in recent weeks, the hockey has been great, fast and competitive…Soupy looks like a 5th round pick these days, with all the young talent. However, we are here for fun, a few beers and laughs after on stage. Guys gotta make sure they are calling themselves out on their missteps, high sticking, hard play, slap shot, etc. I get that the hockey is more competitive than it has ever been, and guys want to win/work hard for their team. But let’s just remember we’re here for fun, there’s no scouts out there. Work hard, but if you knock a guy over, stop the play and make sure he is all good.
I apologize that this week isn’t the usual fun and sexy blog you’re used to seeing out of me, but I felt a few things needed to be discussed.
