Rep -Hockey Firepower retuns The AA minor bantams rediscovered thoir scoring touch and edged Qakville 6-5 in Tri County action last Thursday. This followed an offenaive sîump at the tail end of their first round provincial piay- off series with Orangevilie. A Jack of steami down the stretch - with severai players competing in two sports that week - hurt their efforts and contributed to thern bowing out in four games. But the Grand Transport Winterhawks stormed back in the league piayoffs, taiiy- ing twice in each period on the way to shading Oakvilie. Tyler Hoiman deposited goals one and two while adding singles over the balance of the evening were Derek Blanchard, Barry Kosmalski, Daryl Teed and-eventu- ai hemo Tim Warmeis - who one-timied a blueline buliet for the game winnor.
