MOOSE MAKE IT 4 IN A ROW AND LOOKING FOR 5

October 14, 2011

Toronto, ON - Dustin Cordeiro scored in each of the first two periods and Roberto De Biasi scored in the third as the Moose handed the Vaughan Stars their first loss in a 3-1 Moose victory at York University on October 4..

The Moose were on their way to a shutout for Goaltender Mike Smart when we ran into some penalty trouble late in the game and the Stars' Sylvester Sevcik scored on the power play with 26 seconds to go to give the Stars their lone marker.

The victory was our 4th straight win and we currently sit in 7th place in the overall standings.

The Moose will try to make it 5 in a row when we travel to Shelburne tonight for a date with the last place Red Wings, who have yet to register a point in 6 games so far this season.  The Wings are no longer strictly a Russian side, and unfortunately, are just not the high calibre squad of a year ago.

The weekend's action continues tomorrow night at the TCC with a visit from the expansion Titans of Temiscaming, who are a perfect 7 and 0 to start their first season, including a 4-1 victory over last year's champs in Elliot Lake.
 
NEWS AND NOTES:  The game in Vaughan was the first of 3 games between the two teams to played at 12 Noon at York, and for this game, the teams played with less than a full compliment of players as a result, not to mention very few folks in the stands; the Moose are pleased to announce the signing of Marcus Crossdale, a 5'9", 150 pound forward from Newmarket, who will make his debut tonight in Shelburne; forward Avery Rosen suffered ligament damage to his finger and will be out for at least 3-4 weeks; the Moose will be participating in several community events late in October, with several players donning scary makeup in the spirit of Halloween, and showing some youngster a 'scary' good time.
