TOMCATS FOREVER (in hockey and in fun, fun, fun)
The Troops Did Not Return by Harry Ballsonue
“Few people die of love. But many of lovelessness”
Jose Narosky
After a nine day lay off from ball hockey some Windsor Tomcats were raring to go…but text after text came in and at the end of it all, the Tomcats had to cancel the night of hockey.
“I don’t recall, ever, ever having to do that”. indicated Stevo, with large crocodile tears in his eyes, “maybe it is time to fold the whole operation down”. He concluded.
It is a well known fact that Tomcats attendance drops off after the tournament, so maybe, the Tournament will actually be the last night of hockey for the year.
If you are keeping Stats, the Tomcats have 3 goalies on staff: Razor, Falcon, the Danish
19 full time Tomcats, Sparky, Cribzie, Turk, Hollywood, Chico, Doc, Chevy, Spinner, Sunny, Soupy, Hurricane, Matador, Snowpants, Jingles, Lovie, Beep, Stevo, Kamikaze and Tunzie
They have 3 quazi part time players, Bulldog, Killer, La Bamba
Tomcats have 1, Less then part time, May Day
Tomcats have 4 Part Time, Part Time: Green Giant, Sheep Dog, El Choppo, Shack
Tomcats have 4 players on Injured Reserve, The Rake, Skippy, Rocky, Spanky
“I think it is time to review the entire process. ” indicated Sparky.
One Tomcat that hopes Tomcat Hockey will continue is Ogie, he is raring to go April 12 and 19, “Geez willikurs, I hope they don’t cancel the rest of the season, I was planning on coming out April 12 and 19”, a weepy Ogie indicated.
Ogie and some of the boys enjoy a drink after the game and before heading into the Dom Polski to celebrate the end of another fantastic Tomcat season.
“I will need to look at the entire situation, but it is very possible that we will be shutting the rest of the year down, if guys can’t come out then no use keeping it going, guys don’t show up after the tournament anyway, so…..well……maybe we can look at September and see if it is worth starting it up, if not, maybe we are done…. it sure would have been nice to have a final ceremony or something”. Stated Stevo.
While you are sitting there, thinking, maybe I should have come out, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue YOU!
With Tomcat hockey cancelled, Turk still wanted to motivate you into using your time wisely. If its not going to be with the Tomcats it better be doing something just as worthy.

Caption 2016 Stanely’s Cup Champions the Soupy Sex Symbols
Bunch of great looking guys, Sex Symbols is a great name for this group!
Determination, Love and Grit…the expression says it all
The full Tomcat Team Photo is a great part of the day. Check out the photo on this web site after you read this blog. You can find the photo under the Tab, ‘Tomcat History’.
The team photo is what makes the day, along with the Tomcats singing Tomcats Forever,the smiles on the faces of the Tomcats as they sing and do hand movements is a sight to be experienced like a Sun Set over the Himalayan Mountains, The Tomcat Brotherhood belted out the song with bravado Tournament Day. (and in key)
Tomcats Sing….”Tomcat’s Forever”….
Not present this year at the Tournament: Bearcat (Retired), Skippy (I.R) The Rake (I.R.) Rocky (I.R.) La Bamba (Work Commitment) Hurricane (Family Commitment) Zaba (I.R.) Junior (Disgruntled) Hollywood was able to make team photo and attend but was not assigned to a team, but he was there to do his famous ‘Ziggy Zagga Ziggy Zagga’, to which the Tomcats replied ‘Hoy Hoy Hoy’.
I asked Hollywood what the origins of the Ziggy Zaggy was. “Originally it was first introduced as a battle cry where the leader shouts Ziggy Zagga…and the soldiers reply with a hearty “Hoy, Hoy, Hoy.” But now it is used mostly as an alcohol consumption song” Hollywood stated. Non the less, always a joy to do and the laughs and the smiles are what make the tournament.
The Four Captains did a great job
A first….it was the first time in Tomcat Tournament history that a player not playing in the final won the MVP, Congrats to Chico for his Felix Potvin/Carey Price like saves….save after save after save. “I thought he was outstanding in the net and gave us a chance to win, but if you don’t score any goals it is hard to win games” Stated Lovie, who himself won the ‘Tomcat Award’ an award given to the Tomcat who best exemplifies the Tomcat Spirit.
El Presidente finally captured in a photo!!!
Doc would like to once again thank the Refs for their hard work, Hollywood for being a goal judge, The Sexy Man for being the Official Photographer of the Tomcats, to Turk and Zaba for organizing a very delicious pizza dinner and to Purples for letting us take over the bar again this year.
We are back March 8 if you are unable to make it, let Stevo know.
March 26 ‘Good Bye Purples Party’.
Purples has always been wonderful to the Tomcats please consider attending that night to show your ‘thank you’…..admission is FREE.
Ghost Crossing confirmed to be playing, The Toad, Axe, Eel, Coyote and Snake Bite. Admission is free…..it is not an all ages show.
If your significant other has never been to Purples, this would be the time to show it her in all it’s glory.
Hope to see you there…..
For other details about the tournament and other photos, please go to the latest issue of the St. Felix.
Also, check out the a great photo of the Sea Lion and the caption (Just below the St. Felix) (Self explanatory)
While you are checking out the glowing faces of the photo that shows the ‘boys on the stage singing’, and while you are thinking to yourself, is it Ziggy Zagga, Ziggy Zagga, Hoy, Hoy, Hoy….or is it Zicke, Zake, Zicke Zacke…. Hoi, Hoi Hoi …….do you think, I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
THERE IS NO HOCKEY THIS TUESDAY. The Tomcats wish to thank their fans for understanding and wish to let them know that we will be back the following Tuesday, March 8.
Stevo would like you to let him know if you cannot make it on Tuesday March 8.
St. Felix asks that since you have the Tuesday night off, you can spend the time reading the St. Felix. (Which comes out Tuesday March 1)

White Lightning Razor, Beep, Shack, Green Giant, Hollywood, Snowpants and the Turk (Killer was suppose to be on this team but did not show up)
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and then the tournament, Two teams playing the week before the tournament, you would think everyone would want to get into pre tournament shape, but no, some at home doing Pilates, some at home resting.
Tuesday night Hockey was full of fun and hit goal posts and the Green Giant picking the top corners, “Save those for Saturday” Stated Matador.
The White Lightning too the first game 7-5 and the second game ended up being a tie 9-9.
With only three more sleeps remaining, the boys are raring to go. “I really can’t wait to get the show on the road”, stated a cool calm and collective Falcon.

For those wishing to attend Franca’s “Celebration of Life” On March 5, dinner is at 5:30 …and Mirella and Jerry are collecting $15 from each person in order to give it to “Transition to Betterness” .
Also ….some related Tomcat news …Ghost Crossing is apparently going to play at the “Good Bye Purples” party set for Saturday March 26 …all Tomcats are encouraged to attend the party and say good bye to Mirella and Jerry. They have been incredible hosts to the Tomcats And it would be nice to give them a ‘Tomcat Spirit’ send off …..also fellow Tomcat brothers and sister are playing …Eel (drums) Axe (guitar) Snake Bite (Guitar and Vocals) The Toad (vocals) and Coyote (Bass)…I’m sure Ghost Crossing would appreciate a great crowd cheering them on and well if some boobies are shown during the show to the band….I’m sure they will take it all in, Ghost Crossing stride so please consider coming out on the 26th.
Killer was suppose to be there but never showed up, Stevo is getting tired of the ‘no shows’ and was a bit steamed about it but offered no comment.
Razor gets honourable mention as he brought a 15 pack of OV, “Just because”. “What a super great guy Razor is”, stated Sheep Dog.
In proper Journalistic Fashion, I wish to bring your attention to the next article, just below mine for a read on the ‘prediction’ of how the tournament will go. Yurri has some interesting notions…and predictions, so enjoy.
June 17 is the Tomcat golf outing……Snowpants just starting to look into places, times, costs, but the date is set.
As you are checking out this fine golfer, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.

‘Soupy’s Sweet Science’ (By Harry Palm Press): We are a mere 3 days away away from the classic ‘Stanley’s Cup’, and by now the coaches have finished drawing up their big plays – BUT will it end as they predicted, with their team hosting the cup? For the past several years I have taken a crack at predicting the finalist – and modestly I remind my sole reader I have been bang on each time. The success has mostly come from predicting which team would end up in the championship game; whilst the prediction of which team would actually take the cup home has been a little off. This year, I again intend to predict the teams who will make it to the BIG game; but I am also going to try and predict game by game and overall standings. I’ve looked at the teams closely, and stand by the prediction it will be the Soupy’s Sex Symbols and Beep’s Honey Badgers in the final. Let’s review – Tunzie has crafted a fine team, but really lost a significant defensive boost with having Chico don the pads. On the floor Chico is a great D man, with a fine shot from the point. Relegating him to net as a result of all the goaltender injuries and Bearcats retirement may have hurt the team. It will be interesting to see how Chico fares come the 4th-6th games, considering playing net is a lot different than running the floor…..While Chico may have played a few games between the pipes this season, and done well – to play for an entire tourny is a whole different matter….Tournament day will see a Soupy/Beep near sweep, with each team only losing one time a piece to the other. Come the championship game, Soupy will take it by 2 goals. The Titans will go 2-4 and the Marlies will post a 1-5 record. BY THE GAME (TEAMS IN ALL CAPS PREDICTED TO WIN) BEEP/Tunzie +1 Regardless of how accurate I am – or NOT; here’s hoping ALL teams enjopy the biggest show of the season. And while your busy hurling things at the computer, I note your one appendage is free, cause Yurri HANDZONMECAC. Yurri |
