GAME SUMMARY: Toronto Klevo Lapai 3 - Toronto Estonians 0

Toronto "Klevo Lapai" Lithuanians (TKL) played their first Baltic game against the Toronto Estonians and prevailed by a score of 3-0 at Iceland Arena in Mississauga on April 21st. A hard fought game by both sides which saw fast paced passing, good defensive play by the Lithuanians and great goaltending by R. Steer and D. Lelis who shared the shutout. The Olympic sized rink was huge and the open surface allowed good skaters room, making the game fun to watch.

The first goal was scored by TKL Centre Brian Mielko on a brilliant individual effort in the first period. Mielko scored again in the second period followed by a tip in by winger Rick Dresher after a mad scramble in front of the net in the third.

The valiant Estonians were short two players due to injuries and are eager to have a rematch with their full squad.
