Kurtz confident goals will come Continued from page 24 www.oakvillebeaver.com "I wasn't producing numbers like I was in junior, so I had to do something else to make myself stand out, whether it's (penalty killing), sticking up for a teammate or throwing a big body check. The goals will come. It happened in junior, when the first couple years were slow and then it picked up. Hopefully in a little bit I'll start finding the back of the net more, but until then I'll do whatever the coach wants me to do or what the organization wants me to do to help the team win." "He's battling like I am," added Peter, who doesn't travel to Virginia for many Norfolk home games but plans to attend the Admirals' Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Night March 1. "I'm battling (various) challenges. He's battling a lot of challenges on the way to getting to the NHL. It's quite the story for a middle-of-the-road guy and all the challenges they have to go through to make it. I've never seen a guy work so hard." · John Kurtz's multiple sclerosis donation page can be found at http://bit.ly/RnRndM Tackle, Flag and Summer Camps Oakville Minor Football Tackle: Ages 9-19 Flag: Ages 5-12 info@oakvilletitansfootball.ca OAKVILLE LADIES SOFTBALL LEAGUE REGISTER TODAY Entering its 29th year, the OLSL is a competitive fastball league for women ages 19 and over.
