would appear to have given up any hope of making the playoffs in the ohls emms division but jasons father don reports the likeable teen is adjusting well to being a small fish in a big pond and if his planned off season training program delivers the goods jason will go into next season with a bigger stronger body to go with an attitude which is already in top shape jason who had 17 goals and 37 assists with the pickering panthers in the metro junior a tier 11 league last season has managed to score a couple of goals while chalking up a half dozen or so assists in a limited role with the
