The scouts were drooling at Takhini Arena this past week as young Devon Slade (well, young for oldtimers at 43) scored nine of his Firth team’s 16 goals in two wins in oldtimers action this past week.
Slade, eligible for the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, to be held at the Marine Midland Arena in Buffalo, New York on June 27, netted five goals Sunday to lead the Rangers past Yukon Inn 6-3. Kevin Topping got the other for Firth’s third straight victory. Greg Lane, Al Hansen and Erik von Flotow replied for YI.
EDI 11, Air North 7
Defence was jettisoned in this match as the line of Willy McKenna (three goals), Gus Morberg (two), and Derick Bilodeau (two) buzzed the Air North defence all night. Gerry Rivest, Geoff Quinsey, Dustin Heffner and newcomer Dan van der Linden added one each. For the airmen, it was Brian Currie and Dave White with two each, and solo shots from Mike Jim, Jason Steele and Ron Cruikshank.
Tim Hortons 3, Kilrich 1
Josh Savill scored the winner midway through the first period and the Timbits hung to a hard fought victory after that. Tim Turner-Davis and Stu MacMillan (on a nice snipe) rounded out the scoring. Ben Kielb replied for Kilrich.
Medicine Chest 4, CapriCMW 3
Brian Power was stellar in net for Capri, but couldn’t stop them all, as Michel Dubois, Phil MacDonald, Mervin Jacobsen and Garrett Kuptana snuck pucks past him. Capri counters were from Arlo O’Riordan with a pair, and Ben Campbell.
