INSIDER: Defenceman Brennan Serville incurred a freak knee-on-knee injury during Friday's game in Oakville and did not dress Sunday. Spirit head coach Craig Donovan said the club is taking precautionary measures and his status for games this weekend is undetermined. Serville was forced to sit out the Canada East team evaluations in Whitby Monday and Tuesday. But in talk- ing with East WI manager Troy Ryan, Serville said if he retums to full health he still has an opportunity at cracking the roster for the 2010 World JuniorA Chal- lenge in Penticton, B.C., from Nov. 8 to 14. Also invited to the auditions was Spirit forward Matt Neal. Also sitting out last weekend were Robbie Acton (muscle strain) and Trevor Carrick. who has his hand placed in a cast and could be out for two to three weeks. GENERALLY SPEAKING: “To go on the road and play Oakville, a team being one of the top in the West Divi- sion, and to win was big for us and it was a confidence builder and I think we parlayed that into Sunday’s game,” Donovan said. “i think we have a lot of depth in our forwards where we can look down our bench and use any of our three or four fonuard lines and that helps," he said. ‘Defensively, we're playing better. The key to as winning is we competed harder defensively and created turnovers for us to generate our offence." Donovan felt it was just a matter of time before Cagâ€" giula went on a scoring binge. ‘ltwasnicetoseehimpofflikethatllecandoitand. Sunday was one of those games. I think he'll have more games like that. For any young player out there it mm take them a while to adjustto the league and speed of the game at this level. But he's a gifted goal scorer and eventually he would figure things out." For more on the Spirit, go to: - Michael Hayakawa
