Team Looks To Stay Unbeaten Versus GTHL

This Saturday afternoon's exhibition game against the visiting Mississauga Reps provides us with a chance to improve our unbeaten record this season against the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) to five wins with no losses.

So far we have defeated the Toronto Young Nats 4-2, North York Rangers 3-0, Toronto Red Wings 3-1, and Toronto Junior Canadiens 4-2. Note: On the schedule for the Toronto Marlboros Tournament is another matchup with North York.

Red Hot: Forward Daniel Cesarz was mired in a miserable scoring slump to start the season that saw him tally only 1 goal and 4 assists in his first 23 games. But since that time Cesarz has been red hot tallying 9 goals to go with 8 assists for 17 points in his last 16 games.

To The Point: Nick Paluch leads the team in assists with 23, points with 35, and is tied for second on the team in goals scored with Garrett Ross at 12; Austin Czarnik leads the team in goals scored with 15; Garrett Ross leads the team in points per game average (PPG) at 0.925 with 25 points in 27 games. Cody Donnay leads in scoring amongst defensemen with 2 goals and 20 assists for 22 points in 39 games, with Rodney Lalonde second on the team in defensemen scoring with 2 goals and 16 assists for 18 points in 39 games.

Las-Hi: Goalie Kyle Laslo's spectacular play during the Silver Sticks Tournament caught the attention of many Ontario Hockey League (OHL) scouts. Laslo who backstopped the 1992 Los Angeles Hockey Club to the U-14 National Championship Game last season is from Irvine, California and thus geographic property of the Western Hockey League (WHL); however if Laslo goes undrafted in this year's WHL draft he becomes an unrestricted free agent and would be able to sign with any OHL team if he wished.
