r24 - The Canadian Champion, Fniday, October 3, 2003 r SPORTS Strong's timely tally lifts IceHawks to victory By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion Thle Icellawks' traveling fans are sure getting a lot of bang for their buck on Mississauga-area road trips these days. Milton waited until sudden deaUi 10, secure vie- tory over Uie now Port Credit-based Mississauga Chargera September 17, and came about as close as possible to doing Iikewise witbin Uic confines of Streetsville's Vie Jobnston Memorial Arena Tuesday night. Veteran Dean Strong potted a doorstep, scram- blc wiUi a mere three seconda remaining to, eclipse the Derbys 2-1. Assisting on Uic golden goal were Jon Omnelas and Casey Gilholm, who along wiUi fellow defenceman Jason Fortino were retuming from, minor injuries. The low-scoring affair - a rarity between these two teanis - lifted Uic IceHawks' record save af5-g4t. h n eu f Kamn Tisi backstopped Uic visi- tors tc, victory, making 19 straigh t Streetsville's first shot - a long-range bullet by Darren Rowntree before Uic gane waa tbre minutes nid. The Derbys would nurse Uiat lead for Uic next two periods wiUi fundamentally-sound trap tac- tics that maximized their biggest asset - size. But Tisi's stabilizing presence between the pipes and a couple of impressive penalty kilis kept the IceHawks in it long enough for rookie Ryan Mclnerney to break Tudor IW111U1Petkov's shutout tInte min- utes into tic final framne. ~'~7'His lengthy blast bounced off the hometown cager - part of dic Ptandemn that waa thoroughly victimized by Milton in opening-round play last spring -and trickled over thc line. Leading scorer Ryan Angelow and Jeif Caister set up Uic equalizer. Although Milton got back two of its defence- men Tuesday, Andrew Bonello - thc only sea- soned blueliner of this year's crop - left after the first period with a banged up left side, cour- tesy of a raUier nasty spear sustained three nights carlier in Buffalo. In oUier player movement, 18-year-old David Hammond made bis IceHawks debut in Streetsville. The sizable forward laat toiled with Uie Markham midgets and was a late eut of Uic OHL Oshawa Generals. The IceHawks will look to, make it three in a row tonight i Burlington. Saturday evenmng they travel to, Bramnpton, where former Capital and resident agitator Ryan Silveira will make bis long-awaited return from. a 1O-gamne suspension.
