Undaunted, Hockin hemmed Hooper's in their own zone for the better part of a minute and it resulted in Veno being left alone in the slot. His wrist shot beat Hooper's goal- tender Craig German to tie the game at four. The goal made for an exciting conclusion. Hockin's John Hogarth was nailed for an illegal equipment penalty penalty with 3:41 left in the game after his helmet was knocked off and he'continued he'continued to participate in the play. Hooper's power play was taken away 1:08 later when Bamsey received received a questionable boarding call after sending Brad Cruess crashing into the boards in the neutral zone. Bamsey's penalty actually turned into a blessing for Hooper's. On the ensuing faccoff, Huber intercepted intercepted a terrible cross ice pass by Hockin in the neutral zone and raced in alone. His snapshot between the pads of Elliott restored Hooper's one goal lead at 54. Hockin did manage one more opportunity opportunity before the final buzzer.

On February 16 in Miami I suffered a freak accident. While diving back into first base, I jammed my fingers on my right hand. I heard them crack, but only thought they were jammed. I decided decided to get x-rays when we returned. And, on February 19,1 found out that my middle finger and ring finger were both broken. Although it may seem insignificant, it has been a hardship. I have had time to visit the Blue Jays and attended two games. I also met with several of them. I know Nigel Wilson personally, and spoke with him. I also spoke with Rob Ducey. However, my big thrill came when I became Dave Stcib's new car protector in the parking lot at Englcbcrt Complex Complex where they practice. His new red Porsche 944 turbo is nice. I sat in it. Dave, who I now know personally, gave me some autographs and some tickets. He also said he could get me scats in Toronto. Now, although my hardship sounds like a lot of fun, let me tell you this: I fell behind in school, had to watch my teammates play and may very well have cost myself a scholarship for next year. I.havc now returned to the ball field and have caught up on my school work. We have 15 games remaining, so I hope to get some at bats. I have managed managed to go two for seven from the left side and zero for four from the right side thus far. I have started a few games at second base and a couple in the outfield. We arc struggling with a 16-20 record overall. Our pitching has been great. However, as a team, we arc hitting hitting .230 and making three to five errors errors a game. I only hope that in my return I can help my team in need. Well, I haven't turned American on you, I still spell Canada, C-eh-N-eh-D- ell! See ya, Brendan P.
