With the rain, came the cancellation at the Lanspeary Park. 90,000 ticket holders were told sorry, ‘no can do on the Hockey Venue,’ so 24,000 (maximum capacity) at the Kapusta Kow, got to go to the game and the rest, will get their money back. Sorry Tomcat fans, but mother Nature was messing with the Tomcats and even St. Felix could do nothing about it.
If you are thinking, this was the next level, before the NHL, you were correct. The hockey was intense for all the games, but in the end, the Chico Cool Cats ended up with 5 points and a plus 3.

A record was set with the amount of teams and the amount of players…”This is a fantastic night, if you look at it, we were cancelled at one place but here we are at our home and what a great night and four teams on a Tuesday night, that is a first,” indicated the Falcon.
The Three star selection, as selected by La Bamba, 3rd star, Howie, Second star was Matt D and the First star on the night, Adrian D.
La Bamba also handed out some trinkets, to the Best Defensive Forward, Kevin L, to the Best Forward Carson Q and to the Best Defensive Player, Tim D .
First star Adrian Q was very excited about being selected first star.
Rocky and Adrian…..”A…D…R…I…A…N!!!”
At Purples, for the last night of celebration, the boys enjoyed some pizza and some beverages. “Great night of hockey and fun,” stated Sunny, “will miss all the boys,” Sunny added.
Super solid goes out to Chevy who sponsored the night and long sleeve shirts were handed out to each and every player that participated.
Thanks to Zaba and the Bundura for Reffing.
Thanks to The Turk the Minister of Pizza and to Zaba his trusty assistant for a fantastic job on the pizza. The Turk pointed out, “If you look at one of the pizzas, there are onions and peppers, you see, I too can be converted slightly, just so you know,” The Turk concluded with a gracious smile.
A new Minister position was announced…Hollywood has become Minister of Pussy and Tomcat Related Matters.
The Minister of Pussy and Tomcat Related Matters
I guess one funny moment, (and I was not there, I just heard about it from one of the players that wished to remain anonymous) was that one of the new guys, was standing by the white board, as the schedule was being drawn up and there was some discussion whether or not a Championship Game should be played. “Hey Stevo, do we play a Championship Game,” one of the guys asked. Stevo had no time to answer, when this young punk, with 30 seconds on the stage said “Yeah, oh yeah, we have to play a Championship Game.” Stevo burst out in laughter and said, (and remember I am just repeating the quote as I was not there), “who the fuck is this guy, what the fuck are you talking about a Championship game? No, No Championship Game is to be played,” Stevo chortled. And guess what, non was played (The four Captains agreed on not having a Championship Game).
That’s it for hockey till next year. The Tomcat Golf Outing is Friday June 13. Follow Snowpants emails for developments and further information.
Tomcats announced this morning, that both Howie and Tim D have been released out right by the Tomcats. No reason was provided to the media.
Hey, whilst you are off this summer, golfing, BBQ’ing, going for walks and thinking of next season, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue?

TO YOU MY BROTHERS:
Be the kind of man that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says “Oh Crap, He’s up!” Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don’t just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Take a few minutes to think before you act when you’re mad. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy, He just promised it would be worth it. To the cool men that have touched my life. Here’s to you!! A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you. Tomcats Forever!
Black Quebec Nordiques: Falcon, Rake, Sunny, The Turk, Lovie, Hollywood, Soupy, Chico
White Hartford Whalers: Matador, Stevo, Snowpants, Spinner, Chevy the Kamikaze, and the Razor
A perfect way to end the year with the White Whalers taking the first game 8-6 and the Black Nordiques taking the second game 3-1. Some hot action on the floor as the Kapusta Kow was boiling due to warmer temperatures on the weekend. “It was a sweat box out there, but a great work out”, indicated the Kamikaze who had a solid night on defense and held his own against the likes of Soupy and Sunny.
You would think that it being the last night, there would have been a mini, but, small amount of guys came out but two teams were still formed and it was some great hockey for the last night at the Kapusta Kow ” I thought the two teams were very even and both teams played well and the hockey was great.” indicated a sweaty but Jubilant Spinner.
It was hot dog night at the Kapusta Kow and the first 15,000 fans got a free hot dog and after, some of the Tomcats enjoyed a hot dog as well.
Snowpants, Chico, Chevy and Spinner enjoy a night at the Kapusta Kow and a hot dog ….”Everyone loves. hot dog Strvieeeeee,” says the Rake.
A Solid goes out to the Rake who brought, relish, some nice hot mustard and ketchup for the dogs and wanted nothing for bringing the condiments, Thanks Rake!
Chevy told a story about Polar Bears and he had the guys riveted to their seats as he spoke of a Horny male Polar bear and a reluctant female Polar bear….”The boys love stories like that”, indicated the Turk who asked if the female polar bear had a jar of Tylenol beside her.
Tomcats wish to mention that the Matador and Snowpants both had 100 percent attendance for the second half of the year, that is dedication to the Tomcats boys!
The white board says it all!
Out door game next next week…Chico asks that everyone is there at 5:30 getting ready, donning on their jersey and doing some wind sprints.
Whilst you are reading the poem called ‘To You My Brother’s” again, would you mind if I put my Harry Ballsonue?
The Windsor Tomcats ask that you follow the link below and sign the petition in support of this fundamental issue that is at the heart of this great organization:
Rabid fans continue to snap up the weekly allotted tickets to catch their favourite Tomcat players in action. Those same fans are also already setting up their year-end parties as they celebrate another season that will inevitably come to a close. Weekly subscribers who have the latest inside news in Tomcat land also know there are but scant games remaining at the Kapusta this season. Those same fans are still divided when asked about Stevo’s alleged retirement.
Many believe the saga has been nothing more than a plan to sell more papers. When asked, Stevo continues to indicate he will be stepping down. His Broozzer, however, recently commented, “Stevo will leave the Tomcats organization only after a young up and comer pries the mantle of power from his cold dead hands.”
While the ‘Will he or won’t he’ guessing game continues, one solid fact I can provide Tomcats fans with is the immediate retirement of a long time player. In an exclusive interview landed by this blogger, ‘Bubbles’ has confirmed he will no longer don the equipment and play. When asked why, Bubbles stated, ‘I’m simply getting older and have been feeling some of
those inevitable hockey injuries. My back in particular hasn’t been holding up to the weekly grind, and it certainly was a scare to see Cribz get injured like that (Eye injury when he got a ball on the eye). I had to really reflect and with a heavy heart decided to no longer play.”
While Bubbles will sorely be missed, he goes out with a respectable goals and assist number, along with taste of ‘Stanley’s’ Cup. Whispers are he allegedly had 3 goals, 3 assists and 3 chicks on the side. Yup, you heard it hear first, the ‘Bubble’ has burst. And whilst your thinking of other witty bubble jokes, make sure your HANDZONMECAC.

St. Felix took care of the weather, made it cooler, so that no one could make an excuse and BBQ, instead they showed up in droves at the Kapusta Kow Palace. In fact, it was a record setting night, with 4 spares on three teams, that was the most, a Tuesday night ever held. “Where were all these people 25 years ago, when we played a goalie, three out and that was that. We waited for the door to open and another player to come in,” indicated the Turk, while holding back tears, and he added, “This is really something, all these guys, and great guys too,” Turk concluded, with large alligator tears in his eyes.
The three Captains were obviously ready to pick their teams, as the Green Mutants took the night but all the games were tight.
Cribzie at post game press conference indicated, “I thought we had a good team on paper but we played like the Toronto Maple Leafs.”
The three star selection as selected by La Bamba… 3rd star, # 22 Lovie, the second star, # 10 The Matador, and the first star on the night, #32, Hollywood. Who after being selected as first star asked that everyone not eat Russian salad dressing to protest what is still going on in Ukraine.
Tomcats provided some eats, with double smoked, double garlic kielbasa and different cheeses of the world. “So much for making love to my wife tonight, no way she is coming near me with this Garlic breath,” indicated second star Matador.
OUT DOOR GAME REMINDER The out door game slated for April 29 is at 6 pm. (Rink is rented for only two hours, 6-8pm) so please be there early, to get ready….ANY KIND of hockey stick can be used for this game, so bring your senior sticks. Hockey Gloves MUST be worn. There will be a short Tail Gate party after, then Pizza to be delivered for 9:15. Pay Zaba $10 for the pizza. Pay Chico $ 10 for the hockey.

A fine was levied against, Cirbzie, The Rake, Chevy, Stevo, Jingles, Sheep Dog, Razor, Tunes and the Kamikaze for drinking from the cooler prior to the end of the mini. “It was well worth the penalty of a case of beer” (To be paid first week of next year), stated Cribzie. “It was a great selection to have an early beer indicated the Rake, I will gladly contribute to the case next year!”
Everyone is reminded next week is the last week of Tomcat hockey at the Kapusta Kow Palace. The Tomcats plan to serve hot dogs at the end of the night.

California Golden Seals Bearcat, Tunzie, Spinner, Snowpants, Sparky, La Bamba, Turk and Doc
Cleveland Barons Chico, Soupy, Matador, Cirbzie, Hurricane, Sheep Dog and Stevo
What started out to be a Mini for the April 8 night, turned into two teams…but boy, what two teams they were. “I had 4-5 guys drop off within a few hours of each other on Monday. At one time, we had three spares on three teams, but then Tuesday night came and look what we had…3 spares on the Golden Seals and 2 spares on the Barons. But we adapted and over came,” Stevo had said and then added, “folks cannot give my any grief about carrying too many guys, look at a night like tonight,” Stevo concluded.
It was good old time hockey, with two teams and lots of great exercise and fun.
“Old time hockey team…the California Golden Seals”
Special thanks goes out to Chico, who was a last minute replacement for Razor…..The Tomcats thank Chico for his dedication and commitment to the Tomcat Organization. “I want to thank my beautiful wife, and my kids for always supporting me and the love I have for them is unexplainable, it is just under the love I have for the Tomcats,” Chico concluded.
The Golden Seals took the night with a 10-6 win and then a 7-7 tie. The Barons tied it up with 11 seconds to go in the second game. “Man oh man, did Bearcat play great, he made saves that you can make a whole highlight reel out of, we were fortunate to get a tie on the night,” indicated the Matador.
“Old time hockey…with just two teams….the Cleveland Barons
A special ceremony was held re ‘THE SIGNING OF THE TABLE’ and Chico, Tunzie and Sheep Dog signed their names on the Tomcat Green table. “It was very emotional for me,” indicated Tunes, “I am super excited, that I got to sign it,” Tunes concluded.
The Tomcats would like to remind everyone that there are only 2 weeks left and yes, the weather is going to get nice, but it will be nice if you show up to play some Tomcat hockey.

“Pray, forgive yourself, appreciate others, listen to your gut, do things you enjoy and remind yourself that we are all loved and connected, as Tomcats and at a higher level.”
Sandra Lumb, with a Tomcat twist
I really don’t know who won the tournament …I was told it was the Green Chevy’s but I don’t know, as the white board was never updated, Stevo said to me as he was walking to his car, at the end of the night, “Next week, I am doing nothing, I am not brining the cooler down, I am not writing on the white board, nothing, I am not even handing over the player list for a team to be selected.”
The Green Chevy’s : Chevy, Soupy, Cribzie, Falcon, Chico, Hurricane, Doc and the Kamikaze
The White Rocky’s: Rocky, Tunes, Spinner, Snowpants, Sparky, Flintstone, The Turk, the Rake and the Danish
The Black Sunny’s: Sunny, Lovie, Matador, Stevo, Razor, Hollywood, Killer, Skippy and Spanky
So, I am told Green won, but I don’t know by how much and what the scores were….
Spanky was presented with a ‘Property of the Windsor Tomcats” shirt for his dedication to the Tomcats years and years ago, when he named the Kapusta Kow Palace, the Palace of Kapusta Hills…the name got changed around (a tich) but Spanky gets credit for the name and it is intersting how no one ever calls the Hall by it’s correct name and that everyone calls it the Kapsuta Kow.
We have come a long way Baby….warm ups at the Kapusta Kow Palace …”It is a testament to this organization. Look at all the guys that are here…It’s beautiful out today and look at everyone…it almost makes you choke up,” stated the Falcon.
Stevo’s birthday is coming up and the boys purchased him a bottle of Spiced Rum (Brooozzer did the purchase) and Sunny presented the bottle to Stevo, who said, when he got the bootle, “Sorry for yelling at you guys.” Stevo had pointed out an infraction that Soupy had committed on Killer (interference) and stated that, it was suppose to be a fun night and that no ‘rough hosuing’ was required.
The three star seleciton as selected by La Bamba, the third Star, # 81 Rocky, the second Star, # 55 Snowpants and the first star on the night, #18 Soupy. Well deserved on all three stars, and all three palyed well on the night.
Cribzie blocked a shot with his eye socked unfortunatly and had to leave the game early, medical staff indicated the the eye was fine but that there would be a shiner for a few days.
Cribzie is considering wearing a mask as blocking shots with his face is just not working any longer.
There are still some (Matador) that have night signed up for the out door game, so please sing up if you know you are going to play (Hurricane we know you are still pending at this time).
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OUT DOOR GAME STARS AT 6 PM AND GOES TILL 8 PM. THE COST IS TEN DOLLARS PAYABLE TO EITHER DOC OR CHICO. WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR ‘OUTSIDE’ PLAYERS, SO PLEASE SIGN THEM UP NEXT WEEK, SO THAT DOC AND CHICO CAN ORGANZIE THE EVENT. THE HOCKEY COSTS $10 AND THEN THERE IS PIZZA AFTER FOR $10.
The Tomcat NHL PLayoff Pool Draft will go on April 15 right after hockey, everyone is encouraged to participate. The cost is $11 dollars.
The Tomcats are asking, due to the conflict in Ukraine, that no Tomcats, fans of Tomcats and anyone else in the world buy, purchase or recieve Russian Vodka. “It is riduculaus what Putin is doing, so let’s hurt them in the wallet and stop buying Russian Vodka,” and enthusiatic and devote Ukrainian Hollywood had stated.
Some big food plans are being set up for April 15 and Apirl 22 (last night of hockey) you do not want to miss it.
Crow is to be added into the lineup for the remainder of the season. Some standing room only tickets were available at the Kapusta Kow Palace, but as soon as word came out that Crow would be inserted into the lineup, all the standing room tickets were sold out. I am hearing Scalpers standing on the sidewalk of Tecumseh Road were being asked about tickets for the April 8 game and one scruffy looking scalper said, “With Crow in the lineup, $500 for a pair of tickets for the April 8 game is not out of the question.”
Also being added is La Bamba.
“Tomcats will often use a player to sell merchandise. Check out page 69 of the Tomcats catalogue for the latest in hockey fashion. Wear what Tomcats wear…Wear what Ogie wears!”
Wilst you are seriously checking out the picture of Ogie, can I put my Harry Ballsonue?
