While the hockey is now on hiatus for the summer, there is no shortage of Tomcat events. Here is a rundown of planned events and likely a few other parties to be added before hockey returns.
Tomcat Board Meeting:
Tuesday May 17th. 6:30pm. River’s Edge Bar. Any Tomcat is welcome, not just actual board members. Let Rocky know if you plan to attend no later than May 10th. Come have your day on the future of Tomcat Hockey.

Cougar Bush – Battle Creek:

Misty Mulligan, pictured here, is expected to take part in one of the above golf outings…which one will it be? Better attend all so you don’t miss her.
Razor hands off gear to Tomcats:
Since he retired, Razor no longer has need for his goalie equipment. He recently donated all his gear to the Tomcats so future goalies can use. Who might wear the famous blue and yellow pads in net for the Tomcats? Look for Razor to come by for a beer in the fall.
We are happy to announce the dates and courses for the Canadian leg of the Cougar Bush tour.
This year we have 2 cougar bush events:
Canadian Cougar Bush August 22-24 2022 ( See info below)

We will be doing things slightly different this year to make it easier on the clubhouses.
1. you will be e-transfering Chevy @ szewczuk.stephen@gmail.com the full amount for Golf, Skins and Prizes in advance. I will be paying the clubhouse for everyone to avoid issues and delays. We have a great lineup below.
2. I have added $5 for skins and $5 for prizes. Since in the past everyone participated we will make it easy and have skins games that ensure fairness so that everyone has an equal chance at winning. In the past we have had many people donate prizes and we are thankful for their generous donations. This year we will all contribute to make the prize pool even better!
3. Preference will be for those that commit to all 3 events we will then fill in the spots with the remaining individuals not able to commit to all 3 days. I have 20 spots available for each day and will be updating the clubhouse based on groups of 4 ie. if we get to 16 with no other takers I will give the last 4some back to the club.

There are many trophies in the world. There are many trophy wives and I suppose trophy husbands. The Tomcats have the coveted Stanley’s Cup and the MVP trophy (Thank you Skippy for making that one) and the Finner Award, won this year by May Day. But where do old trophies go to finish their lives?
Stanely’s Cup
The original Stanley’s Cup was designed and made by our very own Turk, (pictured below) The Trophy, not Turk. He had an idea and it flourished. Now the new cup is sought after ever year on the last Saturday of February, because what else are you doing in the dead of winter? For those that did not know there was an original Stanely’s cup, now you do. The new cup, has a number 35 on it, to give credit to the Turk for his innovative thinking. It also has the initials KKP. What do you think that stands for?
Commissioner’s Cup
The Commissioners Cup,(pictured below) WHAT ?” What is the Commissioner Cup you speak of Harry?” Well, let me tell you, a long time ago, there were two specialty games, Canada Vs. Ukraine and Detroit Red Wing Fans, vs. Toronto Maple Leaf fans. They would play off on a Tuesday night. These were called, ’Specialty Games’.
For the Ukrainian team there were a number of Ukrainians in those days, the Legend, The Turk, The Bundura, May Day, Hollywood and Stevo, to name a few and to get more Ukrainians, they would come up with Ukrainian sounding names, so the Rake and the Sealion along with others were given Ukrainian names, example Rake-Beregernko and or Sealionchuck…I think you get the drift. Those games were not too bad as far as play was concerned. There was not trophy awarded for this game, you just had pride and some welts on your shins….if you won.
The Toronto-Detroit games, They were played on the last two nights of hockey for the year, well those gems were another story. In these games you would think that if the team that won, the next stop would actually be getting on a bus and be driven to the Joe Lewis Arena…to play for the Detroit Red Wings or to get picked up by Pat Quinn. I shit you not! These games became very very intense. So these games got stopped and the trophy put away, to be displayed in the Ball Hockey Hall of Fame, which could one day be located on Paul Martin Drive in Windsor Ontario. (Nudge Nudge, Wink, Wink)
Essex 99’rs Vs. Belle River Buckos
One other specialty game, was the Essex 99’rs vs. The Belle River Bucko’s, this game was basically the Belle River Buckos, lead by, at that time, franchise player Crispy. They had the likes of Uwe, May Day, Ditty, Bucko, Finner, Mez, Doob, and they would play anyone who lived in the county, thus the name Essex. (Not the town of Essex, but anyone living in the Essex region). SIDE BAR, many years ago, there was a four man baseball squad, they would travel around and they would play a full team, the four man team was called the California Beauties. They had a pitcher, a catcher, an infielder and a outfielder. The pitcher would cover first base if there was a hit. The out fielder would go into the field that he thought the ball would go to. The pitcher of course was a phenom, so not many hits were made, well, in ball hockey, these would have been the Belle River Buckos. They were all gifted ball hockey players and the Essex 99’rs would lose to them every year except for one year when a rookie goalie by the name of Razor came out. It was his first night of hockey and he was assigned to the Essex 99’rs and he stoned the Belle River Buckos. That is the night of the famous quote of Finners, when the Belle River Buckos were on board their van heading back to the river of Bell, Finner, said, ’Tonight, we got beat by a bunch of Pig Farmers from Tilbury.”
From what I can recall, the Essex 99’rs sat on the stage drinking beer a bit longer that night soaking the moment in. Razor was the hero that night and the Essex 99’rs were in their glory.
I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS
While you are looking to see if there are more red tags ( for Red Wing wins) over, blue tags for Leaf wins, on the Commissioners Cup, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
Congratulations to all of you on another fine hockey season. We were able to pull off this year and enjoy it despite the hiccups along the way and we were still able to have a hockey season that our organization values and strives to maintain. So thanks again to all of you for making the Windsor Tomcats who we are – a family we can all be proud to be a part of.
Although the season has ended, our traditions continue. The summer weather always welcomes the likes of golfers. Each year we host several golf outings to reunite during the off season. This year is no different. We welcome and invite you to participate in the Turks, ‘Kapusta Open’, June 4th, at Ambassador Golf Course. This event is a four man scramble, the cost is $140. (Money well spent), as you get golf at a very nice course, dinner at the Kapusta Kow Palace and a prize.

Tomcats Forever ! Snowpants
Cribzie, an avid Tomcat golfer, enjoys a cold one and keeps it cold with the Tomcat koozie.
The Tomcats finished the season on Saturday with our annual tournament. Historically, the tournament is played the last day of February. However, because of COVID restrictions, and a late start to the Winter/Spring season segment, Tomcat moved the tournament until April and made it the season closing event. Since we did not play the 2020-2021 season, it had been 770 days between Tomcat Tournaments!
Despite the tournament being a huge success, it was not without last minute turmoil. In the days leading up until this past Saturday, COVID reared it’s ugly head and caused several committed players to drop. Thanks to Scuz, Jingles, LaBamba and Napoleon (Son of Junior) for being last minute replacements. Depth is a great thing.
The teams:
Ned’s Solar BearsThe Love ShacksThe Lizard KingsBullwinkle’s Bombers
Captains came through with some phenomenal team names and logos on T-shirts. Big thanks to Hollywood for arranging all the swag creation for the teams and everyone involved. We all love the Ukraine inspired shirt given to all Tomcats and used in the team photo.
As expected, games began shortly after 8:30am and the speed of play was faster than typical Tuesdays. Everyone always adds a little extra come tournament time.
In the end, Bullwinkle’s Bombers were too much for the Lizard Kings and they were able to drink from Stanley’s Cup.
Bullwinkle has Stanley’s Cup proudly displayed in his home’s entrance
All goalies played well with many amazing saves worthy of ESPN’s Top 10 highlights. Scuz showed no rust despite not playing for more than a year and getting the call up one day before.
However, Bender had the best day, and was named MVP for helping his team to victory.
Bender’s post MVP celebration
MayDay won the Finner Award for his efforts to raise money for Ukraine. We need more people willing to step up like that.
Most Gentleman award was given to the guy who could be on the cover of each and every Gentlemen’s Quarterly (GQ), Beep. The guys is always showing true sportsmanship.
The day would not have been possible without great game officiating from Doc and Hollywood. It is a thankless job but we thank them nonetheless.
Soupy’s wife, Serta, stopped by to take the team photo…she is a keeper Soupy!
Great seeing a family photo from tournament day…Soupy, Serta and the future stars of Tomcat Nation:
And speaking of Soupy, big thanks to him and Kamikaze (who had to miss due to COVID) for planning the tournament.
Jingles handled pizza for the boys after so we could celebrate one final time before the summer hiatus. Thanks Jingles!
The Greek Gods stopped to take a photo with Stevo
In the end, 2021-2022 was a challenge but the Tomcats made it happen after a missed year. We all needed this season, and we all need the tournament. Hopefully 2022-2023 is totally back to normal.
Keep an eye out for updates on summer events. There will be a board meeting in early May and any Tomcat can attend to have input. There are the Kapusta and Pantelone de Neige golf tournaments, and other events to be shared later.
Thanks to all Tomcats for being Tomcats. This is a great organization of great guys and great friends. Tomcats Forever!
According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the weather folklore stems from ancestral beliefs in balance, meaning if the weather at the start of March was bad (roaring, like a roaring lion), the month should end with good weather (gentle, like a lamb)
The Weather seems to be the same all month…so what does the Farmers Almanac know, Tomcats know hockey. Some good hockey played last night with a mini.
Matador Mustangs. Matador, May Day, Animal, Kamikaze., Sunny, Snowpants, Bullwinkle and 10Carat
Matador and Hurricane both brought a 24, put her there boys.
Special thanks to Sparky for getting rid of the empties. And thanks to those that helped with the empties and carrying them from the Tomcat room, Cribzie, Bender, Sunny, Matador, Stevo and of course Sparkilicious.
April 5 is next week
Last night of regular Tuesday night hockey is next week, Rocky will send out an email, please respond letting Rocky know if you are playing or not
Tomcat Hockey Tournament Saturday April 9, 2022 (There is NO hockey after the tournament)
Kamikaze would like everyone to know that the tournament costs $20 to play, ( you get booze on stage and a cool Tomcat T-shirt ). The tee shirt for the full Team Tomcat shirt is very cool. Pizza is $10 and Jingles will be there to collect money for the pizza. Tournament Captains collect the $20 from each player and then pay Rocky. It is up to each Captain if they ask for money from you for the team tee shirt. It is rare that any Captain asks for money for the team shirt.
Tomcat Golf – The Pantelon de Niege Cup
Snowpants “rocking out” the golf tournament
Snowpants, the minster of golf, advises all Tomcats that the tournament will be held this year on Saturday June 18,2022 If you wish to play, you MUST GET A HOLD OF SNOWPANTS in an email. If you know his texting machine number you can text him. His email is vferranti13@gmail.com. More details to follow as they become available…but mark June 18 off and get a hold of Snowpants. It is Fathers day weekend, so you should be a able to get a pass to play on that Saturday.
Cougar Bush Tour
The Cougar Bush tour will be held on August 22,23,24, three different courses in the Essex Region….(one round in Chatham Kent) save the date, more information to come from the President of the tour, Chevy. If you have any questions, text Chevy directly. It is a fun three days of golf and merriment. There are prizes handed out and a skins game.
The Tomcat Hockey tournament to be held on April 9, 2022 is a fun tournament and it should be treated as such. No NHL scouts will be on stage watching. Full team picture, some exercise, some laughs, pizza and a few beers after, that is what it is all about. PLEASE keep this in mind.
When you are checking out the picture of Snowpants and thinking to yourself, that is one cool dude, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
It was a two-team night but that is not the two I speak of. Do you realize their are only two more Tuesday night hockey before the year-end tournament? Yes folks, we are down to the final 3 days of hockey until the fall. Will the next 2 Tuesday’s draw enough for mini tournaments? Time will tell.
Hopefully by now, all Tomcats taking part in the April 9th tournament have heard from their captains, provided their shirt size and have their $20 ready to give to their captain the morning of the tournament. Another $10 will be required for pizza and we are working with Jingles to arrange for that and who will collect on that day. So in short, here is what is needed by each tournament participant:
– Arrive at 8am that Saturday. First game kicks off precisely at 8:30am
– Give $20 to your captain upon arrival
– collect your team shirt and coloured Tomcat shirt (red, green, yellow) if required.
– Give $10 for pizza (designated person to be named)
Beep’s Ballers – The Falcon, Lizard, Hurricane, Beep, Rocky, Killer and Chico
The first game was a little lopsided with the Ballers rolling to a 10-6 victory but the Teasers found their game in the second and ended up winning 6-5.
Falcon and 10Carat were able to get some reps in before the tournament. The Tomcats will make sure Chico and Bender get time in between the pipes over the next 2 weeks so all tournament goalies are fresh and ready to go come April 9th.
Kapusta Open:
Time to plan your foursome for the return of the Kapusta Open. Great way to support the local Ukrainian hall and community. See the Turk for more details. The Tomcats always make a great showing at this event. See details here:
More support for Ukraine:
With many fine Tomcats being of Ukraine descent, including Hollywood, Stevo, MayDay, The Turk, Bundura, Sparky, etc., the Tomcats should continue to show support for their homeland as they battle the Russian aggression. Here is a link to a site where you can order cool swag that shows your support and helps raise money to help our Ukrainian friends and families. Check it out and place your order:
Sparky is looking for a few good Tomcats to show up early next week to load empties from the Tomcat room into his truck. “The room is overflowing and we need to clear it out,” said Sparky. Let Rocky know who can be their early next Tuesday to help.
Shoutouts:
While many Tomcats ignored the needs, Tonto and Shack stepped up and filled the cooler with beer and ice. Two Tomcats doing what is needed without being asked. Ask yourself…do you step up each week and help assist the Tomcats? It is the Tomcat thing to do. Be a true Tomcat like Tonto and Shack.
Doc’s House Warming:
April 2, 2022, 8pm. 6675 Concession 10. All tomcats invited. Let Doc know if you plan to make an appearance. Maybe more Tomcat photos like these can be captured at the event:
“This was a fun process, it is all new to me…” Lizard
“Man oh man, pressure picking, not sure how the NHL Manager does it…” Shack
“I had a good scouting staff that have been watching the players for years…” Big Ned
What a fun night of hockey. Beep made the teams and they were awesome. Both close games, with the Lizard Leopards taking the first game 5-3 with an open net goal. Second game was 4-3 Leopards. “No complaints, guys had lots of fun out there today and between games,” stated Sparky.
Both goalies, Bender and Chico were outstanding. In the second game, shots were 76 to 11 for the Leopards.
Tuesday Night Teams:
Lizard Leopards: Bullwinkle, Lizard, Chevy, Sparky, Kamikaze, Big Ned, Animal and Bender in net.
Beep Bobcats: Tonto, Beep, Snowpants, Shack, Rake, Stevo, Junior and Chico in net.
DRAFT TEAMS:
The four Captains have made their selections and are ready to play.
Big Ned; Junior, Stevo, Tweety Bird, Chevy, Hatchie, Cribzie and Chico in between the pipes
Shack: Matador, Lovie, Animal, Killer, Sunny, May Day and 10 Carat in between the pipes
Bullwinkle: Sheep Dog, Snowpants, Hurricane, Soupy, Kramden, the Eagle, and Bender in between the pipes
Lizard: Schooley, Beep, Skippy, Kamikaze, Tonto, Big Easy, Rocky and the Falcon in between the pipes.
Beer
Kudo’s to Snowpants and Lizard for brining beer. Snowpants could have skipped his turn but brought it in and Lizard who was not around for months, brought one, ‘just because’….both bought Land Shark, “Fins up boys…”!
STEVO NOT IMPRESSED
Stevo had been tasked with running the organization last few weeks. Last week, with the Skippy Yellow Nuclear Submarines wearing the yellow Ukraine shirts, Stevo took most of the shirts home. (He knows how many…he also knows how many players played on Skippy’s team) when he got to the Kapusta Kow Palace on Tuesday March 8, one of the shirts that had been worn the week before and had not been turned into him, was on the floor in the Tomcat Room. It was turned inside out. Who ever wore that shirt, did not have the common decency to take shirt home and wash it, they just left it in the Tomcat room. Stevo was not impressed. “I really don’t know what to say, I am dumbfounded and saddened,” Stevo said.
GOLF
June 4 is the Kapusta Open, The Turk organizes, watch for updates re tournament
June some time, Is the Windsor Tomcat Golf Tournament, Snowpants has not set the date for the Pantelon de Niege Cup tournament.
March Break Next week
Rocky will be asking you in an email, if you can make it next week, please respond to his email, it is very important. Sparky has been assigned the task of being in charge next week.
While you are checking out the tournament teams, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue
Is it already March Madness season? Was this a COVID Tomcat Season first – that being a mini tournament? Several attending players looked surprised to discover due to an abundance of players Management decided a mini tournament was in order.
New Tomcat member the Animal remarked: ‘This is very exciting; I’ve never seen this many fans or players; and getting a chance to play in a tournament is surreal.
Considering a few mere days ago Rocky was emailing/calling/texting everyone to confirm attendance; players were very surprised at the large player turnout.
Was it due to COVID rules loosening? Did the planets align? Whatever the reason a mini was played and several ‘lessons’ were learned; such as NOT letting Skippy pick a team (Skippy’s Yellow Submarines) went 1-2.
Skippy however disagreed: ‘On paper I think we looked really good. I think I got a bunch of confirmed/reliable goal scorers; but it just seems we weren’t able to jell’. I’m also a little disappointed we didn’t do better; considering we had Ukraine shirts on’.
I was able to track down Sparky and asked his thoughts on Skippy’s draft picks. Sparky’s remark: ‘Well you can tell he didn’t go for speed; and maybe he did pick by hair length’.
A ‘March Mini’ was so special each team had their photos taken; akin to tournament time – which coincidentally kicks off this coming Tuesday with the much anticipated draft pick’. Are you going to be there awaiting to see whom goes 1st overall? Let Rocky know!
Maybe it was due to the large turnout; or pent up excitement; but one thing that otherwise put a damper on a great ‘mini’ was the time delays. Shenanigans or the obvious goalie medical situation aside; things wrapped up by 9PM – delaying the very sought after ’comradery’/beverage consumption and cheering/jeering on stage afterwards.
When it did all end; the Hurricane HeatSeekers and MayDay Missles shared bragging rights to bagging the first ‘mini tournament’ win. The victory was particularly sweet for the HeatSeekers, who lost their Captain to an undisclosed injury. Tomcat medical staff indicate the Willy veteran Hurricane is expected to make a full recovery and further stated he simply needed some ‘rest’.
While your thinking you could have come up with better ‘war’ themed team names; I noticed your HANDZONMECAC.
As you read in the blog, a total of $660.00 was raised at hockey on March 1, 2022. I received further donations totaling of $200.00 raising our total to $860.00 dollars.
NASHI is an entirely volunteer non-profit organization who is addressing the issue of human trafficking locally and globally. We are a Canadian Registered Charity (#853912194RR0001). NASHI has 2 primary goals. The first is to educate people about human trafficking by providing forums and workshops nationally and internationally. The second goal was the building of a safehouse for at risk young girls in Ukraine. The Maple Leaf House is a live-in facility that provides shelter, food and a home environment for up to 20 girls. Our commitment is to educate these girls until they can become productive members of their society.
NASHI’S MOTTO IS: DO SOMETHING
I called NASHI yesterday and spoke to a lady. Her name was Savelia Cournacki in Saskatoon. She tells me their organization is in contact with their people in Ukraine everyday and at this time, they are trying to keep the girls safe and get them out of the country if necessary. They are a 100% volunteer organization so all money raised is forwarded. There is nobody on a payroll. NASHI is located in Saskatoon.
I can’t help but shake my head at the destruction the Russians are inflicting over there.
On a bright note, when I told her the money was coming from the Windsor Tomcats, she asked, “Windsor”? She told me she had a relative who was the priest at the Orthodox church in Windsor in the 1950’s. I told her we have been playing at the very same church since 1989. After speaking to her, I knew I found the best place to donate the money we raised.
Anyway, thank you again for being so generous. For those still wanting to donate ,you can ether e-transfer NASHI directly at admin@nashi.ca or directly to me at nicklelyk@sympatico.caand I will send them any other money raised.
In order to support Ukraine, fellow Ukrainian May Day, organized a fund drive, asking anyone who could give anything, to donate and he would give the money to the Windsor President of the Ukrainian National Organization. Support came, and donations were givien. God Bless the Tomcats.
May Day not only organized the donation to Ukraine he also brought two cases of OV, “It is the beer of Belle River and Ukrainians everywhere” a Proud May Day stated. May Day ended up collecting $660.
The Hall that the Tomcats play in, is Ukrainian. Thus the name, the Kapusta Kow Palace.
Tomcats had their first mini in a long, long, long, long time. The May Day Missiles and the Hurricane Heat Seekers ended up tying.
TEAMS:
Skippy Yellow Atomic Submarines Hatchie, Jingles, Stevo, Sparky, Chevy, Skippy and Chico in net
May Day Missiles Animal, Killer, Tonto, Tunzie, Bullwinkle, May Day and Bender in between the pipes
Hurricane Heat Seekers Soupy, Rake, Matador, Kamikaze, Snowpants, Hurricane and Shack protecting the twine.

ROCKY WILL SEND AN EMAIL

While you are thinking to yourself, does Kapusta mean Cabbage, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
“Yeah we’re running a little bit hot tonight….. I can barley see the road from the heat coming off it ….reach down between my legs ….ease the seat back…”
David Lee Roth or Animal of the Lightening ?
Bullwinkle Coyotes Bullwinkle, Stevo, Hurricane, The Rake, Matador, Sparky, Chevy and 10Carat in net
Kamikaze Lighting Kamikaze, Beep, Rocky, May Day, Animal, Chico, Kramden, Snowpants and Bender in net
Just like in the NHL, if the Lightening are going to play the Coyotes, you probably know the outcome. A powerful Kamikaze Lightening team steam rolled over the Bullwinkle Coyotes beating them, like a rented mule, 5-2 and 10-4.
Shout out to the Rake for bringing brawts for the boys! Always does a solid that Sparky 🙂
TUESDAY NIGHT HOCKEY

With things opening up more and more and more, (No masks mid March?) Turks tournament is being set for June 4. The Turk: “Very few details at this point except for it is going to happen and it is confirmed for June 4 and it will be a shotgun start beginning at 9:00 am. A lot will depend on the covid reopening. I will provide all interested Tomcats with information, once I know more.” It is a Forman scramble and is played at Ambassador golf course. It is a very good tournament, everyone gets a prize and the meal back at the Kapusta Kow is fantastic. Get a foursome together and get into the tournament.
SAD NEWS
A close friend of the Tomcat family, Mo of Mo and Jerry of Purples past away last week. She was an incredible woman and was always great to the Tomcats. Tomcats had many many ‘after tournament parties’ at Purples and they let us take over the bar. Mo cooked for us, she encouraged us and she loved us. God bless you Mo, Rest In Peace. You will be missed.
And while you are thinking what ever happened to Spinner, did he ever tell anyone he was not playing anymore, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
Windsor Tomcats
