All Star Classic
By Harold Nason
ROB VINCENT POWERS EWSHL OVER LCHL 4-1 TO NAB JIMMY KENNEDY MEMORIAL CUP.
Rob Vincent scored twice and the East West Suburban Hockey League defeated the Lancaster Centennial Hockey League 4-1
in the 3rd edition of the LCHL/EWSHL All Star Charity Classic played on Wednesday evening at the Lord Beaverbrook Rink.
The EWSHL was awarded the Jimmy Kennedy Memorial Cup presented by his widow Aggie Kennedy.
Daughter Michelle and son Mike handed out the player of the game awards . Jimmy was a passionate sports fan in the local
area and was always present in the rinks and at the ball fields often accompanied by daughter Michelle.
Glenn Theall opened the scoring at 13:17 of the 1st as he blasted a slap shot short side on LCHL tender Ryan Steele with
assists from Jason Webb and Jeff Jenkins.
In the second period Vincent scored at 16:50 with helpers from Steve Mason and Alex McQuinn and the EWSHL led 2-0 after
two periods of play.
In the third period Vincent scored an unassisted marker at the :16 second mark to put the EWSHL 3-0.
Sylvain Theriault put the LCHL on the board at 9:44 when he scored a power play marker with assists from linemates George
Oram and Pat Lyons but it wasn't enough to overcome the swift skating EWSHLers.
Daryl McKenzie scored into the empty net at 19:26 from Greg Connolly and Craig McKenzie and the EWSHL won for the third
straight year.
Vincent was named the EWSHL player of the game and Theriault earned the nod as LCHL player of the game.
Justin Mouzek, Pat Carlson and Brian Feetham guarded the EWSHL goal while Ryan Steele and Andy LeBlanc were in goal for
the LCHL.
Procceds from the game will be donated to the Centennial School Lunch Program.
