Van Gough in the building by Chase De Poosee
“I dream of painting, then I paint my dream”
Vincent van Gough
Teams
Soupys Salamanders- Soupy, Snowpants, Flintstone, Sheepdog, Turk, Falcon, Lovie
Sunnys Solstices -Sunny, Beep, Cribz, Chico, Green Giant, Hurricane, Kamikaze
LaBambas Baristas- Matador, Rocky, Chevy, Sparky, Bulldog, Van Gough, La Bamba
The Kapusta Kow palace was abuzz with the news that Van Gough was suiting up tonight, making his Tomcat debut. “Its not everyday that a famous painter makes an appearance with the Tomcats as a goalie. I got his autograph” stated an excited Rake. “I came to see the game just because of him”. No one had the heart to tell Louie that it was not the real Van Gough, who was a post impressionist painter in the mid to late 1800’s. “His thinking that it was the real Van Gough confirms what I have thought all along” said Chevy. “The Rake hasn’t been off all year due to a knee injury, but rather a closed head injury that he has not yet fully recovered from.”
A mini tournament was the order of the night, with all three teams giving it their all. In the end, it was won by Soupys Salamanders. They played an all around solid game and could not be beaten “stated Sunny. “I made some last minute trades just before game time, getting Hurricane and Kamikaze for future considerations. I thought they would make make the difference, but alas, it was not to be. I thought I was Glen Sather for a minute.”
A big tomcat thanks for Van Gough for filling in tonight. “It was a great experience, and I hope I turned some heads tonight” he said. A Tomcat thanks also goes to the Rake, who provide the Tomcat post game meal of sausage, cheese and crackers.

In sporting news, the Tomcat Banners, are now hung at the Kapusta Kow Palace. Tomcats honour numbers, they don’t retire numbers like some NHL Teams then players have to wear stupid numbers like 57 or 38 instead of 9, 4, 12, 16 etc.
Honoured numbers now hang at the Kapusta Kow Palace
Team spirit was alive and well back at Purples as Tomcats piled in to say good bye. The Tomcat pictures are gone and with the help of the most ambitious Tomcats a play was made to get down the T-Bird front end for Lovie as he had lost his virginity in a 1967 T-Bird in Petrolia as ‘Light my Fire’ by the doors played on the the Oldies Radio Station. After, he held her tight to ‘Ruby Tuesday’ by the Rolling Stones.
“That night meant a lot to me, but when I saw the Tomcat Spirit reaching up to help take the front end down, another tear came into my eye, as Sunny, Sparky, Matador and Hollywood did everything they could to get that front end down…they just could not reach it”. Lovie said holding back tears.
The shortest Tomcats jumped in to help take down
The 1967 T-Bird front end …that’s team work !
Jingles and the Green Giant to the rescue as they took down the front end and carried it to Sunny’s van.
“All in a days work” stated Doc.
A HUGE shout out goes out to Sunny, who paid for the Pizza back at Purples, there is not a greater Tomcat out there. Unselfish moves like that will have a Sainthood for Sunny. Saint Sunny!

TOMCATS FOREVER
Return of Tomcat Favorite by Chase De Poosee
“Labour to keep alive in your breast that little spark of fire called conscience”-George Washington
Teams
Kamikaze Krazies-El Choppo, Hurricane, Tunzie, Danish, Steveo, Green Giant, Beep, Kamakazi
Docs Diamonds- Doc, Spinner, Shack, Soupy, Razor, Chevy, Sunny
Sparky s Superstars- Sparky, Lovie, Hollywood, Rocky, Falcon, Turk, Snowpants
A mini tournament was had for the first time in 4 weeks. “Good to see the boys back out in full force”stated Steveo. “Nothing makes me happier than a large turnout.”
The teams were well matched, no one team able to dominate. The Docs Diamonds were victorious on the evening, winning by goal differential.
The highlight of the night was the return of Rocky from an extended period of time on the IR.”It was frustrating sitting out. All I wanted to do was play” stated an exuberant Rocky. “I really do appreciate the warm welcome back and a shout out to Tunzies Titans for the honorary shirt. I love it!”
Rocky talking to his agent on his way into the Kapusta with almost a season ending injury (holdout?)
Rocky indicated to hurricane that his injury will never fully recover, but that he should be able to achieve a level of 80% pre injury functionality. “This disturbs me greatly “stated Hurricane. “I believe it is the responsibility of all Tomcat players to demonstrate good fiscal accountability to ensure the future success and financial security of the Tomcat organization. As such, I will be submitting a formal proposal to the board of directors that Rockys total compensation package be reduced by 20% to reflect his diminished capacity. This will free up money to sign potential free agents.”
Odds and Ends
1. From the tomcat safety committee, a reminder that NO slap-shots are allowed.
2. Next week, in honour of Purples and its history with the Tomcats, only one beer will be served onstage. After that, we will re locate to Purples for the last time.
3. Lovies NHL playoff pool has been scheduled for April 12 after hockey. It will be a draft format. Be sure to tell the kids you’ll be too late to tuck them in that night
4. A reminder from snowpants to mark on your calendar Friday June 17 for the Tomcat golf outing. Rumour has Sutton Creek as the course this year. snowpants will provide further details nearer to the event.
5. Steveo, as the result of his public relations fiasco surrounding Razor, was fined a 6 pack. Steveo brought 30 beers, thereby fulfilling his fine.
6. May Day is being shut down by the tomcat training staff for the remainder of the year due to a lower body injury. This long term tomcat may be facing the end of his storied career, only being available to the tomcats at tournament time.
Other odds and Ends
BEER NIGHT: If it is your beer night, and you miss, you MUST bring it the next time you come out. Right now Tomcats have four guys that have not brought their beer in. I’m hearing rumours that the President is not happy.
New Tomcat Tee: For any Tomcats who could not play in the tournament but would like to purchase the latest and greatest Tomcat tee shirt, please see Stevo, they are only $10.
April 19 Last night of Hockey: There are only 4 weeks of hockey left.
May 3, 2016 Board of Directors Meeting: The Windsor Tomcats will be holding their year end Board of Directors meeting on Tuesday May 3, 2016. Any or all Tomcats are invited to attend the meeting. The meeting will be held at Stevo’s house and the start time would be at 6:30p.m.

TOMCATS FOREVER,
New Tomcat Comes Aboard by Harry Ballsonoue
Kamikaze and Mrs. Kamikaze are ecstatic to announce the arrival of their first round pick, Thor Kamikaz. He comes in at 6 pounds and 9 ounces. “He’s a keeper” stated a proud but weepy Kamikaz.
In other news, I wish to apologize to Razor, as it turns out he did tell Stevo he was not going to be there for last weeks games, Stevo never recorded the information and I reported that it was Razor’s fault for not attending.
It is my understanding, Stevo will be fined by the Tomcat organization. (Fine undetermined)
Tomcats Forever!
