PREMIER LEAGUE HOCKEY NEWS

- CENTRALS END THE COUGARS PARTY
- LEHIGH VALLEY BLANK THE NIGHTMARE
- CARDINALS UPSET VIKINGS

Game of the Day
St. Paul Cardinals 3 - 2 Manitoba Vikings
Manitoba Technical House, Winnipeg (Att. 16,500)

The Cardinals continued their efforts to claw their way out of the league's cellar by defeating the Vikings in Winnipeg tonight. The man responsible was veteran defender Fred Seawright. Seawright scored a goal, but more importantly skated 22:58 and was totally relentless in his harassment of the Vikings. He never seemed to relent and his teammates benefitted hugely from his example.

The only major action in the first was Jan Kinnunen's goal for the Vikings, giving them a 1-0 lead. The second period saw eight penalties but only one powerplay goal - Marcus Loow 5 minutes in. Just prior to that, Fred Seawright had tied it up in one of the few moments of even strength play all period, so Loow had stolen back the lead. Against the Cards earlier in the season, Manitoba might have counted their chickens, but this resurgent St. Paul line up was persistent, and Dan Fox scored at 6:54 in the third to tie it up. It took just two minutes of overtime for Jake Brantley to find the back of the net and win it for the Minnesotans.

Elsewhere in the league, Lehigh Valley visited Seattle and in a game of brutal defence, a nil-all tie looked likely until Rasmus Bjorklund found the back of the net for the Valley at 18:50 in the third, giving them a 1-0 win. The Arrows lost 4-2 to the Eagles in Denver, despite the determination of young Phillipe Laliberte, who set up both San Francisco goals. The Giants losing streak continues with a loss, 3-1, to the Stags on the road. And Burt Magee stopped 39 shots to register a shutout against the Chicago Cougars, whose run came to an end when the Centrals trounced them, 7-0. Nicky Jephcott kept apace for the Hjerpe Trophy race - currently led by the Islanders' Billy Hodges - with a goal and two assists in the drubbing.
