(Harry Palm Press): 
 
What a fantastic night of end to end hockey with Team Black taking both games 7-4.  No wonder there wasn’t a 3rd game – I kept track with my stop watch and the 2nd game lasted over 50MINUTES!! No mini tourney this week as the benches shortened a bit with 2 and 3 spares a side.  Another quick look and it was evident the Tomcats that did show up and are still grinding it out post Tourney time were indeed the cagey veteran types.  Stevo “The Commish” for team Black had an absolute highlight reel beauty fooling Razor for a rare goal against the netminder.  When I asked Stevo about the move earlier I heard him say “Well last week Razor busted out a sweet move for me in him celebrating my b-day – so I felt obligated to return the favour in kind – Oh, and despite any rumours, there will be no releasing of that “move” by razor via youtube or any other form”.  Good thing there wasn’t a 3rd game, I could tell players were gassed, and were very happy to see the stage overflowin with cold beer – party due to the “Hurricane” bringing in another 24 of bubbly.  Speaking of bubbly “Skippy” – still out with the hand injury showed up to watch and supplied the boys with a glass of bubbly champagne.  Apparently while the hand might not work, the nether region does and “Skipp” informed the boys his lovely wife is expecting their first child.  Well done Skippy – considering when he did play out he certainly wasn’t the scoring threat type of player.  Skippy passed on that the baby is due between October 24-30th, so stay tuned for an opportunity to bet on the date/time of the little Skipster.  For a $5 wager, the winner will take home half the pot, and the other half will go to the baby.  Apparently Skippy is already saving to outfit the little bun in glorious Tomcat merchandise!  Even more good news, only 1 regular season game left and things will wrap up April 26th at the 2nd annual Tomcat outdoor classic.  Bulldog, the official player handling the outdoor tourney, indicated at last Tuesdays game a few more players are still needed.  Considering the larger floor space more players aren’t a bad idea.  Sources close to the tourney have whispered fans will get to see some new players faces from the farm teams – all looking to future spots on the roster.  Either way – it will be one heck of a show.
 
Until next time – Umm – Skippy your
