The Tomcats have had a great year. Tournament saw the Polka Kings win the Championship in overtime, the first ever overtime in tournament play. Johnny ‘Husky Eyes’ Salaris, scores 3 minutes and 58 seconds in, to give team orange, the Polka Kings the win. A nicer guy could not have scored that goal.
Then came the end of the season, and extra week was played and a huge turnout showed up. This whole Windsor Tomcat Hockey thing is really catching on. The Bulldog’s outdoor game. Long sleeve shirts in black and white for both teams.
Golf outing at Seven Lakes in June, the weather was perfect, like all Tomcat events.
September comes and 5 new Tomcats signed up, (Shamus, Crow, Doc, Soupy and Skippy) Once again, this whole Tomcat Hockey thing is really catching on.
Huge turnouts each Tuesday, with only one week, where the Tuesday hockey only had one spare on one side and 2 on the other. The rest of the weeks, 3 and two spares…with the last few weeks, 4 and five spares, and then 5 and 5 spares on the last night of hockey.
Have you seen the really cool ‘Tomcats Forever’ bracelet. Whoa!
I love the Tomcats, the four goalies, are all great guys; Razor, Falcon, Skippy and Bearcat.
The defenders play hard, the Rake back from injury, brings 12 beers and then has his own beer week the week after, Sparky, Rocky, Cribz, Yuri, Hollywood and Doc Brewin. Of course Junior would be there, if his lower body injury was not keeping him out.
And so would Darek Kowalczykowski, if he had not had knee surgery. Do you not think, Zschabba would not love to defend his Polka King title come February 26?
Then you have the Tomcat goal scores. Chevy, Stevo, Spinner, Bulldog, Youngblood, Jingles, Husky Eyes, Lovie, Shamus, Soupy, Crow, Killer, Snowpants and Hurricane Hann.
Even the Farm Call ups are great guys, La Bamba Vlaminck, brings beer, scores goals and makes some great plays….the Tomcats seem to have it going on.
So I raise a class of Champagne to you the Tomcats, thanks for being the guys you are and the greatest job in hockey is covering the Windsor Tomcats!
Oh, where is your shiny little forehead, I want to put my Harry Ballsonue.
Players Signed Up: (in the order the signed up)
Paul Poisson, Louis Koenigsberger, Chad Comartin, Gerald Finnerty, Dave Hann, Mike Edgar, Anthony Meloche, Dave Dzibela, Victor Ferranti, Steven Jaworiwsky, Ray MacDonnell, Shane Renaud, Dean Meloche, Mike Menzel, Nick Lelyk, Dave Crawford, Andy Morgan, Kevin Kuprowski, Michael Jaworiwsky, Paul Renaud, Josh Goldstein, Mark Jennings, Stephan Szcewczuk, Ken Cribley, Andy Brewin, Dean Colasanti, George Metulynsky, Johnny Salaris, and Dan Mesman. (29 players to this point)
Players Still to Sign Up:
John Salaris (now signed up), Sammy Salaris, Chris Girard, Vince Vlaminck and Peter White.
How it may play out:
If J. Salaris,S. Salaris, Girard, Vlaminck and White sign up, that will give us a total of 32 players and each team 3 spares aside.
If we cannot get 32 players, and only 30 players, then we will need to seek out two new players…..
Names need to be in by January 10, 2011.
Draft goes February 1, 2011.
These are indeed exciting times for the Tomcats.
And as a ‘for instance’, if we get only Sammy and John Salaris to sign up, and if Chris Girard is not interested in playing, then I am willing to step down as a player, that would then give us 28 players, and two spares aside. It would also mean that La Bamba would not be able to play……
Tomcats Forever!
Stevo Jaworiwsky,
These words haunt the newly appointed captains.
Boys:
There will be a change in the Captaincy in this year’s tournament, the three new Captains will be Paul ‘Sparky’ Renaud, Andy ‘Youngblood’ Morgan and Kevin ‘Jingles’ Kuprowski. Michael ‘ Hollywood’ will remain the fourth Captain and will be defending his title.
In 2012, the four new Captains will be Ray ‘Razor’ MacDonell, Mike ‘the Falcon’ Menzel, Shane ‘Skippy’ Renaud and Dean ‘Bearcat’ Meloche.
The reason for this change is simple, Michael Jaworiwsky is still in Windsor and he is the Captain of the defending Stanley’s Cup Champions, the Polka Kings, so he should remain Captain, which means having the other three Goalies as Captains, takes away from Razor selecting a team.
This gives a couple of new guys to be Captains for the very first time and it will be fun and merriment for everyone involved.
Tomcats Forever!
Stevo,
Today is the Windsor Tomcats tournament!
