His Toronto summer development hockey team has been on a tear, wlnning six of seven tournaments. By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion Geoff Strank's hock- ey successes can 't be contained to the cold climate months. In fact the youngster's brighlest moments on the ice have come over the past several weeks, with Toronto Pro Hockey Development's novice team. This summer squad, made up of players from across the GTA, bas played in seven tournaments and flourished at every tum - capturing six litles and placing second the other time. "Ail the bard work bas defînitely been worth il," remarked the lO-year- old, referring 10 the hefty hardware haul he bas eamed for ail his weekend toil. Toronto's crowning jewel came earlier this month at West Edmonton Mail Ice Palace, wbere they outlasled 1l teams over five days on the way to garnering gold at the Brick's lOtb Annual Super Novice Toumament. The August 8 title match featured a little payback against the Winnipeg Junior Jets - who two days after trimming tbem in the final round- robin game were edged 3-2. Geoff helped initiale bis club's comeback victory, assisting on goal number one in the second period and combining with leammates to neutral- ize opposing snipers for the balance of the contest. Said the local Ieft winger, 14t was an opportunity of' a liletime and flic biggest thrill of my hockey career." Semifinal action, against the Los Angeles Junior Kings. was just as exciting. Toronto again fell behind early but baîtled back to win 4-2. And once more it was the victors' Milton confectionthat sparked the rally - this lime scoring the initial marker on a one-time wrist shot. This opened the door to four straight goals and a berth to the finals. Overaîl, Toronto went 5-1-1 ai the tournament while Geoif registered a goal and four assists over the seven games. "He's more of a lunch bucket play- er, notbing fancy," said father Adrian. "He does a lot of digging in the cor- ners and helps set up goals, rather than scoring them. "The boys ail did really well out west. It was such a great opportunity for everyone." Geoff bas been playing sommer hockey for tbrec years. He says the year-round grind is aIl worth il. 1I just love hockey," he added. "Il's great playing against ail these guys during the winter and playing with îbem in the sommer. It teaches you good sportsmanship." Geoff will be moving up 10 the minor atom ranks tbis season with the AAA Halton Humecanes. AI * DTIOIs MECHANICAL LTD.
