6 Sports & Leisure, Friday, September 26, 2008 Continued from pg. S/L 3 But Barries third-round draft pick got off to an impressive start at train- ing camp, and has kept offering rea- sons for why he should be kept around including his winning tally Thursday. It was an upstairs wire that beat him (J. P. Anderson) on the blocker side. I basically just wanted to put it on net for someone to crash the net and get the rebound, but it went in. Hearing the crowd (2,731 fans at the Molson Centre) cheer was amaz- ing, and it felt good not to have to wait long for that first goal. Of course getting on the score- sheet has never been much of a prob- lem for Sgarbossa, and Williamson doesnt see a jump to major-junior doing much to curb that trend. The coachs actions would cer- tainly seem to support that outlook, as Campbellvilles OHL newcomer found himself centring the first line (between veterans Cory McGillis and Alex Hutchings) and getting plenty of powerplay time through the sea- son opener. Hes a point machine, said Williamson. He was one of the best players in camp and just wont go away. Hes going to be a star at this level. Sgarbossa knows hes still got a long way to go to live up to that, especially with regard to his overall game. Our coachs philosophy is defence first, so thats something Ive got to work on. Ive just got to keep working hard and taking every step forward that I can. Sgarbossa wasnt the only local Halton Hurricanes product to score in his OHL debut. Georgetown Souths Steve Silas scored what turned out to be the winner last Saturday as his Belleville Bulls upended the Peterborough Petes 4-2. Andy Bathgate, also of Georgetown, added an assist for the Bulls in his second season with the club. Colts bank on point machine
