I am very happy to say, that I am beating out Bob McKenzie and Darren Dregger of TSN and Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet on this story. The Tomcats have just signed former Captain, Nick ‘MayDay’ Lelyk to a one year deal. The Wiley veteran played the last two seasons for the Sault Ste. Marie Basset Hounds of the OMBHL. Lelyk comes to the Tomcats healthy and strong and plans to play a full time role with the Tomcats. Detra Connelly, Lelyk’s manager indicated that Lelyk is in the best shape of his life and his knee injury that he played with in the Tomcat tournament is all healed up and he is ready to go.

“I’m very excited to have Nikki back with us, he is stand up guy and a guy the younger Tomcats can look up to, as they don’t seem to want to look up to me”. Indicated present day Captain Paul Poisson.

Nick Lelyk will be rooming with George Metulynsky, he will wear number 27 he has been given a one way deal.

The terms of the deal were not available, at the time of this article, but it is believed the deal is worth 1.5 million for the year.

When I see you, ex Captain of the Tomcats, at the Kapusta Kow Palace, I’ll be sure to try to get my Harry Ballsonue.
