The Coyotes were behind 4-2, 8-3 and 12-7 after three quarters, respectively. The Coyotes did finish strong, however, outscoring the Niagara Panthers 5-3 in the final frame. Coyotes scoring: Dave Dunn 4 goals and 1 assist; Jamie Barlow 2 goals and 3 assists; Dave Kelly 2 goals; Mike Muldoon 1 goal; Ryan Fitzsimmons 1 goal and 3 assists; Shane Labelle 2 assists; Brandon Cordua 1 assist; and RJ Carr 1 assist. 6-2 WIN OVER YORK The Coyotes dominated York from the first drop of the puck, winning 6-2 in the first showcase game of the year. Coyotes scoring: Jeff Elia 3 goals; Jeff Wells 1 goal and 2 assists; Dave Dunn 1 goal and 1 assist; RJ Carr 1 goal; Dave Kelly 2 assists; Kyle MacDonald 1 assist; Mike Muldoon 1 assist; and Jamie Barlow 1 assist. 5-4 LOSS TO T.O. In what was probably one of the best games on the week­ end, the Coyotes dropped a close decision to the Toronto Tigers 5-4. The two teams were tied at the half, and Toronto scored a late one in the second half to squeak out the win. "Another one-goal loss," reflected coach Ron Piercey. "We could be 7-3 as easy as we are 4-6 if we had just had a few bounces." Coyotes scoring: Dave Dunn 3 goals; Mike Muldoon 1 goal; Jamie Barlow 1 assist; Brandon Cordua 1 assist; and Shane Labelle 1 assist.

(Continued from page D1) zapped our limited resources. We've got about 25 players and they had about 40. "So the attrition just started to wear in." The Invictas had a bit of tough luck with the draw in that their one crossover game with the league's east division was with the expected power house Toronto squad. "We got the crossover game with the power house," chuckled coach Kalvaitis. "This team (Toronto), I think they started with 60 players, they've been going for a month of training. They were in midseason form. "So I was really proud of the kids that they were able to play this team tough. We were really out gunned and out matched." The well prepared Toronto Thunder started with a bang scoring two quick touchdowns for a 14-0 lead. But the Invictas held the fort and Loyola Secondary School product Kwame Aidoo put the Invictas right in the game on a long 55-yard pass and run from Q.B. Neil Maki. Sunday's stifling 30+ dog-days-of-sum- mer heat, however, took it's toll as the troops had nothing left for the second half. While the season opener has already been played, the team certainly wouldn't mind some late stragglers coming on board for the season. The practice schedule is not overly onerous. It's Wednesday and Thursday nights at Lord Elgin, 6:30-8:30 p.m. A thircbpractice on Monday nights is option­ al. Games are usually on Sunday. There is one overnight trip to Windsor. "We're fortunate here, I 've got six stu­ dents from our school playing on the Invictas team," said coach Kalvaitis, adding that he'd love for other high school players to come on board. "All we ask for is we'll go with whatev­ er we have but we want them to be dedicat­ ed to what they're doing. We're still hope­ ful now that the rugby season is over there maybe some students who genuinely want­ ed to play but was impossible with the rugby season." Prospective players can get in touch with him either at the school (842-9494) or home (827-5559). "We would like to have at least 30 play­ ers." Especially when you're playing over summer, he said, you want to be able "to move players in and out, you don't want to . over exhaust. Right now we need another five or six players." It should be an exciting season, he said. "We have a game at Ivor Wynne. The league championship is at the SkyDome." The team is also slated to play an American team in Burlington's annual BIG games. fHoms (Cont. from page D1) Oakville stuck mainly to its running game, compiling 302 yards on 35 carries. Derwin Phillips was the workhorse with 235 yards on 21 carries. Colin Grant gained 40 yards on four carries and Dan Brown gained 27 yards on six car­ ries. The 'Homs went to the air only eight times, completing three passes. Domenic Camastro was two for three; Richard Rebiere was one for four and Tim Davidson was zero for one. On the receiving end of those passes were Mike Dingsdale (14 yards), David Momix (11 yards) and Stephen Moore (11 yards). Sudbury were even less effec­ tive through the air, with only four completions out of 13 attempts for 35 yards. On the ground, they gained 105 yards on 30 carries.
