Press Release
PORT COLBORNE, ON – The 2013-2014 GOJHL All Star & Top Prospects
Games were every bit as exciting as advertised as the top players from
across the GOJHL put on two great shows today in Port Colborne.
The All Star Game kicked off the day’s festivities and it was a high
scoring affair as both teams came out firing. In the end it was Team
Vaive on top 10-4 over Team Ludzig. Goal scorers for Team Vaive were:
Craig Martini (2), Trevor Sauder, Brett Clampitt, Matt Lippa (2), Cody
Brown (2), Clayton Greer, and Zach Nieminen. Goal scorers for Team

The Top Prospects Game was a much closer checking game with the younger
players working hard to impress the many scouts in attendance. The two
teams battled back and forth throughout the game and the score was tied
at 4 at the end of regulation and overtime. In the shootout Jesse
Pereira scored for Team White but Adam Dauda replied for the Blue Team
forcing the shootout to be extended. The second extra shooter for Team
blue was Ryker Killilns and he scored a beauty, forcing Andrew Burns to
reply but it was Blue goaltender Leo Lazerev who won the one-on-one
battle with Burns, winning the game 5-4 for Team Blue.

The big winners off the ice today were the charities, as every year the
GOJHL partners with charitable organizations to donate funds from the
All Star and Top Prospects Games to. This year’s event raised money for
the Frank Santarossa Scholarship Fund and the Steve Ludzik Parkinson’s
Rehabilitation Program.
Special thanks to FASTHockey for broadcasting both games live online
free of charge and thanks to all of the players, coaches, officials,
volunteers and fans for making the trip to the Vale Centre in Port
Colborne.
