It was an All-Star Classic in Orono last weekend. Top players from the Victoria – Durham U18 League played in an East vs West showcase at the Orono Arena on Saturday. Team East made a spirited at-tempt at a late game comeback but ultimately the West prevailed. Pictured is East forward Nicholas Dobbs (#5) from the Newcastle Stars bearing down on the West goalie. After a series of dekes and feints, Dobbs scored. A complete event recap is found inside in the newspaper on page 8.
