The Canladian Champion, Tuesday, January 27, 2004-23 ~IceHawks make impact at league al-star game Jr(1 (Yî))tfCrrillUb',C to North/West's overali victory By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion 'he lceHawks may flot have domninated Wednesday's Provincial Jr. A League AIl- Star Gamne in Georgetown, but they did make their presence feit. 'Mat was particularly truc in the skills portion of the night. Joining Milton carlier this month but officially representing Brarnalea, Adam Pileggi scored the only goal during the rapid-fire shoot-oui thus winning the event. His ftrst of four shots, an upstairs wire, just caught the inside part of the top left corner past Wellington's Chris Rowan and helped the North/West squad sweep their skills competition. Jonathan Omnelas took third in the fastest skater showcase, circling the rink in a cool 14.08 seconds. Oakville's Nick Dodge won in 13.95s, while Pedar Skinner of St. Mikc's postcd a 14.01s finish for second- place honours. Hamnilton's Cal St. Dennis bit five targets on eight tries to proclaim himsclf as the most accurate marksman. Though unable to test himself in the hardest shot category - with a malfunc- tioning radar gun canceling out the event - Matthew French did pick up an assist late in the second period. He helped set up Aurora's Sean Scully to aid in the North/West's 9-6 decision over 265 caeIph 5 the South/East. The comehack victory - highlighted by a hat-trick from North/West MVP Vince Laise of Georgetown -scrved as pay- back for Iast year's 5-4 loss to the South/East. Omnelas had thee key scoring chances in the opening haîf, but just couldn't light the lamp. Former Miltotn skipper Marty Williamson, now with powerhousc Aurora, once again coachcd the Northi/West side. More than 1,000 spectators took in flic ail-star showcasc, held for a second straight year at Gordon Alcont Arena.
