Kevin Kocken recorded the shutout and was named the game's first star, while Peterson earned second-star honours with his heroics.

He was invited to Canada's world junior training camp and was the starting goalie for Canada at the recent under-18 world championships. Gagner ranked sixth Former Oakville Trafalgar High School student Sam Gagner is rated sixth among North American skaters, slipping from third in the mid-season rankings. He is still expected to be a top-10 pick in the draft. The London Knights centre, who was named to the OHL's all-rookie team this week, finished fifth in the Ontario Hockey League scoring race with 35 goals and 118 points in 53 games. He won a gold medal with Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championships in January. Oakville's draft class could have been even bigger, except that John Tavares of the Oshawa Generals isn't eligible for another two years. The 16-year-old led the league with 72 goals and was second in league scoring with 134 points. He is being touted as the first overall pick for the 2009 draft. -- Herb Garbutt Hav av vi in i ng n g a Baby? y? Welcome Wagon can help! Registration for Summer Courses Now Open!
