PREMIER LEAGUE HOCKEY NEWS

Game of the Day:
Lehigh Valley Phantoms 1 - 6 Charlottetown Islanders
Elizabeth Arena, Charlottetown (Att: 14,100)

The Islanders finally put some points on the board in front of their home fans with a 6-1 thumping of long-time rivals and fellow Founding Four members the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. The Phantoms, never popular at the Elizabeth Arena, were jeered as much as their rivals were applauded as the Islanders racked up the score.

Billy Hodges was the star for the home team, scoring three points - a powerplay goal in the first and two assists - but just behind him was the ever improving Dan Dubielewicz, whose 39 saves from 40 shots was remarkable for a player who many - myself included - rated as minor-league at best before the season's start.

The Phantoms only goal came off the stick of Chris Fox, his first for the season. The Islanders found plenty of scorers, though: Matias Malmivaara, Corin Webb and Nikolas Oke joined Hodges as goal scorers, but Adam Trew punctuated things with a brace over the first and second periods.

Elsewhere in the league, Vancouver embarrassed the San Fran Arrows with a 5-1 drubbing in Califronia, 4 points to Ed Blandford giving them an easy win. The Aces and Nightmare traded goals in a 2-2 stalemate that saw stars Alexis Paquette and Ben Magnus split the honours. The Nationals accounted for the Vikings at home with Dewitt Sykes putting in the hard yards to stop 37 shots on goal and give his team a 3-1 win. Finally, Los Angeles were given reason to regret trading their 'depth' goalie, David Scopelleti, who blanked his old club in a 3-0 shutout win for the New England Whalers.
