There is a push to have Shack re instated. Board of Directors to decide the fate of Shackalious.
The Shack camp was not available for comment.

Shack pictured here with Stevo was a good Tomcat. He played in net when asked and should not be banished from the Tomcat world.

Good work out there by everyone last night, I must say, the goaltending by the three net minders was super stellar. Compliments to Hollywood, the Falcon and Skuz.
Great to see the Eagle out there with Tweetie Bird.
Shoutout to The Rake for bringing out post-game snacks and as always, to Snowpants for bringing the sticks back upstairs for everyone!
If you know you can’t play next week, let Rocky know, he is back running the Tomcat Organization.
IN OTHER EXCITING TOMCAT NEWS:
The Tomcats are having a 30 year anniversary dinner/dance April 13. Date and venue set, along with some entertainment, and speeches, (President Rocky, Alumni President Sea Lion and Assistant Captain Sparky) Are said to be some of the speakers that evening for this momentous evening. Mark it on your calendar, tell your family and friends. Tickets will only be $20 and you will get a full meal. Rocky is urging every Tomcat to attend, no excuses, it is the 30 year anniversary gala and everyone should attend. It really is a once in a life time thing, Next gala may be at the 50 year mark, but why wait, why not go to this one, while you still don’t need a walker. So please come to the this event!
ON THE INJURY FRONT
Tomcats announced on Tuesday afternoon that the Turk and Spinner have been scratched for the rest of the season. This will be first time the Turk, in 28 glorious years with the Tomcats, (2 with the Fabulous Thunderbirds) has not played a game at the beloved Kapusta Now, where he grew up honing his basketball and hockey skills. For those of you who may not know it, the Turk was better then most NBA players in the fade away shot.
Spinner has also been shelved for the rest of the year with an upper body injury.
In happier injury news, Skuz returned from his long absence from the Tomcats and indicated that his lower body injury felt good. “I felt good out there tonight, seemed to be great, it is super fantastic being with all the boys”, a weepy Skuz said.
The Four Captains this year are Rocky, Snowpants, Sunny and Tonto. Should be very interesting as to what they each come up for their tournament team name and shirt log design and idea. Every year it seems to get better and better.

La Bamba’s shirt from a few years back has to be one of my favourites. I was fortunate enough to buy one at a trade show in Vegas about a year ago. I wear it only on special occasions and at least and I mean this when I say it…at least 3-4 random people will come up to me and compliment me on my shirt ! Great job La Bamba!
While you bleeding hearts are thinking, yeah, a life time band for Shack is too much, they should bring him back, to you think I could put may Harry Ballsonue.

1) Consider earplugs or headphones if you work in a noisy or open office environment as this will help reduce cortisol
2) Fill your glass with water and drink green tea to boost metabolism and control appetite
3) Make time for a at least a short, quiet break. If you did not get outside in the morning do so at lunch time
4) Dim the length in your house until bedtime to increase serotonin and melatonin while decreasing cortisol.
5) Have a hot bath or shower in the evening to prepare you for sleep
6) Try to get to bed by 11pm and sleep in COMPLETE darkness so your hormones can balance.
7) Masterbate whenever you can preferably in the comfort of your own home or car on the ride home from work
Hope this help you !
Kamikaze needs you…
Please make sure you let Kamikaze know if you are playing in the February 23 tournament. Draft is January 22
We now look at a tournament tee from a tournament past
This shirt was designed by Serta, you may notice the clever way she put two cymbals in place and called it ‘Soupy’s Sex Symbols’, she also put the year the team was formed, in this case 2016 and she gives a shout out to the Windsor Tomcats in the lower portion of the shirt. The sexy legs of course hold the two cymbals, like a high hat. Cleverly done Serta.
Jingles Jets shirt is a classic, worn by many Tomcats. The design comes from the Winnipeg Jets of course, as there is no such thing as a Jingle Jet, that we know of.
Greta Van Fleet
I caught the Great Van Fleet show at the Fox this past week, if you ever get to see them, go see them. Very tight, great vocals, some fantastic guitar work and the drumming is spectacular. I high highly recommend them. The song you would know is the Safari Song, check it out after you read this blog.
I saw Ghost Crossing’s Stevo in the crowd and chatted with him about the band. Stevo noted, “After watching them perform, I feel guilty for even owning a guitar, they are so damn good.”
Whilst you are checking out number 7 and saying ‘what a fucking great idea’, and singing the Safari Song, do you think I can put my Harry Ballsonue

First Mini in a long time, “I think, you will see with us getting closer to the Christmas Break, more and more guys will show up, I think you might see two more mini’s in the next two weeks,” stared Sparky and added, “Don’t complain, it’s better them one spare.”

Goalies are a vital part of any organization …when Falcon and Terror could not play Stevo Hollywood and Chico stepped up !
“Tomcats are getting older, we need some new players,” said President Rocky at the Press Conference on Monday December 3. Enter Kramden, New kid on the block, a Tomcat 4th rounder in 2006, Kramden, finally made it to the big club. He took a regular shift and even killed a penalty. “I knew if I worked hard and just kept my nose to the grind stone, that maybe one day I could play in the big league and here I am, pinch me, I must be dreaming,” Kramden said, holding back tears.
Track Suits were on display, if you are interested, please get sized and hand in your $40 to Stevo. You do not want to be the only one not wearing a 30 year anniversary Windsor Tomcat Track Suit on Tournament day in the picture do you? It’s only 40 dollars and…you can keep it for the next 40 years. NOTE: The Tomcat BoD decided the suit will be a dark grey jacket with black pants. Also, jacket can be ordered with or without a hood.
KUDOS
This is how great it is to be involved with the Tomcats, The Turk, who is unable to play due to a lower body injury, shows up and brings a 24. The Sea Lion who only refs helping the Tomcats a great deal, brings a 40 banger of Rye for the Tomcats to enjoy in a few weeks, because he is unable to be there. Rocky, just because, brings a bottle of Rum for the Tomcats to enjoy at the Christmas party because he is not able to be there and El Choppo, who missed a few weeks, felt bad, is not a drinker brings a 24, just because. Put her there boys, you are the Tomcat Spirit that everyone talks about.
A Legendary idea
La Bamba, future Vice President with the Tomcats, hell, maybe the world, suggested that next year, Tomcats who no longer play, would/could be Captains of a team, you could have the Bundura, Sea Lion, The Legend, Rexy pick a team, they would have to be out a few weeks in a row to see the players, they do not know. Then why not add Bucko, Crispy, Mez and Finner as a coach behind the bench. You could have a coach and a GM. What a novel Idea, by La Bamba. I am sure the Tomcats will be pursing this idea.
December 18 is last night of hockey, it is the Tomcat Christmas Party downstairs. Tomcats paying for pizza, beer and spirits. All they ask is that you have a designated driver if you plan to indulge.
Hey whilst you are thinking of riddle that is similar to the headline, such as ‘ How can people without noses smell?…. ANSWER ‘If they don’t shower’, do you think I can put my Harry Ballsonue
