September 20, 2010

The South Muskoka Shield, last season's finalists came into Powassan with only 14 skaters and proved that they will still be a force this upcoming season. Veteran netminder Rob Sutherland stopped 52 shots to help the Shield to a 9-5 win over the Dragons.

''This team is going to be OK down the road. The imports are still learning my style of play and are getting better every game. We have had a tough start to the season facing some of the league's strongest teams like Elliot Lake who finished first overall last season and Muskoka who won the league 2 years ago and was runner up last season losing in 7 games to the Deseronto Storm" said head coach Lui Ricci.

Scoring for the Dragons were Adam Piorun with two beauties, Mariusz Gurazda, Eric Langford and Filip Komorski. DJ Champagne and Maciej Rompkowsi had two helpers each.

South Muskoka was led by Nikita Jevapalous with a hat trick with while Rob Childs scored a pair. Jericho Buwalda, Greg Gardiner, Adam MacBeth, Donny Danroth all picked up singles.

The Dragons have a busy schedule this upcoming weekend travelling to Jamestown New York to take on the Jets and then taking on the Toronto Moose in Thornhill on Saturday night before driving back home for a tilt with the Algoma Avalanche. Game time 1:30pm at the Sportsplex.
