IceHawks open regular season tonight vs. Buffalo Tise lceHawks punctuated an undefeated exhibition campalgn in explosive fashion last Friday, dis- mantling Brampton 12-5. Enjoying anotiser relatively easy night at Milton Sports Centre, George Dupont's charges outshot their division rivals 57-19 and had enougis scoring for tise win before tise game's midway mark. Seven différent Milton players had three points apiece, including newly-acquired winger Shandor Alphonso - an OHL over-ager from the Sudbury Wolves who adds bath speed and toughness to tise forward ranks. He struck just 41 seconds intotise night and helped set Up two goals by veteran Adam Pileggi, who was appotnted captain aller practtce Wednesday night. Alphonso, Brent Robinson and Jeif Caister have bren narned assistants. Other tisree-point efforts came from Robinson, Julian Sarraino, Kevin Morrisan, Mike Gersison and AIes MacDonald - a promis- ing Moncton-area midget winger who led pre-season sconing with four goals and four assists. Gersison, a 20-year-old defence- 'lMinorpeewee Sox solid at pro vincials T'here's no column destgnated for more vtctonies, but thse minor peewee Red Sox certainly delivered one Iast weekend in Aurora. Continuing ta distance themselves fromn a dismal regular season, thse local lads turned in a solid 2-2 performance at tise double- knockout Ontario 'A'championships. Their top-five finish had to be considered an impressive feat, given that a provincial bertit was prenty much a longshot for most of thse sumtner - during which they resided in tise conférence basement. However, Milton won its regular-season finale and then knocked off tise Georgetown Eagles and Mississauga Panthers in tise divisional playdowns t0 advance ta Aurora. T7here tise Red Sox kicked off provincial play with a 4-1 decision over Pickering - fueled by four shutout innings front Mark Peusha and sparkling defense by Mike Marshsall, Michael McClelland and Steven Robillerd. Milton then delivered its biggest victory of the year, an 18-6 rout of tise divisional champion Missisaauga Wtldcats. Fierce hitting by Robillard, Josis Daviau and Sachin Ghal fectored heavily into tise lopsided upset win, an did continued sharp fielding. Unfoetunately, tise Red Sox couldn't quite build on tisis isighligist tniumpis - bowing ont with 17-7 andi 13-11 losses to Bolton and host Aurore respecnively. Facing eliroination againat Aurora, Milton threatened lo rally in tise bottoro of the seventis - putting tise tying ns on second befote tinaily being venquished. Tise Red Sox kept pace tougis tise majonty of bots games, tisanks to some solid pitcising. man from New Jersey, was close beisind with a goal and five helpers. Milton scored 31 goals in four exhibition games and looks ta have a little more offensive deptis ram- pared ta tisis time last season. In net, Milton recently signed 20- year-old Doug Groenstege, tise Mississauga lceDogs' back-up cager last year, ta complement: vet- eran Thomas Lee. The tceHawks open regular-sea- son play tonight at Memorial Arena againot Buffalo, and then head ta Georgetown tomorrow evening. Bath games start at 7:30 pr.
