A18 - The Canadiani Champion, Tuesay March 21, 2006 SPORTS EDITOR: STEVE LeBLANC e-mail sleblanc@haltonsearch.com Bertoli gents one-game caII-up to AHL's Norfolk Could become more permanent promotion By Steve LeBlanc CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF GRAHAM PAINE / CANADIAN CHAMPION HEFTY HAUL Nine-yearoi Milton Springer Celena Morgan displays the five gymnas- tics medais site recentiy claimed at the third and final provincial qualifying meet in G3uelph. She booked passage to next month's Ontario championships ith an exceptional 37.175- outol0point finish in her Level 6 age group. Her overali gold-medal showing vas secured ith first-place honours on the beam, second on both bars and floor and a third on vault. FeIIow Springers Heather Sadier and Brittany Schrader had already qualified for provincials. Scott Bertoli payed one more game than he experted to this past weekend , but he certainiy wasn't compiaining about the extra work. Set to tumn 29 Thursday, Multons longtime East Coast Hockey Leaguer got a temporary rail- up to the American Hockey Leagues Norfolk Admirais Sunday - the thîrd of his professionai hockey career. He recorded one shot and got a regular shift that afternoon to heip Norfolk beat the Philadeiphia Phantoms 3-1 and strengthen its htîid on third place in the Eastern Division. "twas good to get the rail-up. Actuaiiy it was suppose to happen the weekend before, but i was on the bus at the time and iogistiraily it was- n't possible. 1 oniy got the rail a couple of hours before the garne, but sinre Phillys oniy 30 min- utes away it was no probiem," expiained Bertoli, who pisyed for his former coach Mike Haviland with Norfolk Sunday, Whiie back with his ECHL Trenton Titans yesterday, theres a good chance Bertoli mouid return to the Admirais soon and stirk with them for the remainder of the season. The rail-up - bis first since a one-game stint with the Saint John Fiames in 2001/02 - rapped a big weekend for the 5'il", 205 ibs. winger. Just the night before he recorded two assists in the Titans' 2-1 overtime viltr against Dayton, which snapped a lO-game iosing skid. It aiso put Trenton within a point of ciaiming a spot in the best-of-three quaiifying series witb Johnstown next month. Bertoli currently sits tied for l2tb in league scoring with 19 goals and 47 assista in 63 games - wbich puts him within six points of breaking bis singie-season record of 71, set back in 2001/02. That plus being named captain of the ECH2s American Conference ail- star teamn in January is more than enough to, make this a 4-l personally-successful rami- I Vl paign for the former Milton Merchant and Princeton S Tiger. Bertoli hasn't enjoyed - anywhere near the saine prosperity fromn a team Scott Bertoli standpoint, wîth his defend- ing Kelly Cup champion Titans - offensively challenged ail season after undergoing a major roster reshuffling - sitting at a lacklustre 27-33-3. Needless to say, they're a long shot at best to have any kind of post-season success this spring -especially if Bertoli returns to Norfolk. The only original Titan from hack when the team first joined the ECHL in 1999, Bentoli bas played ail but five games of his 447-game pro hockey career with Trenton - and Ils the tram in games played (442), goals (1 50) and assists (296).
