Dyck and Moore are both solid (C ont. from page D2) Busy November with no less than eight games The tyke east Oakville Rangers regular season kicked into high gear in November with the team playing no less than eight games in the month, start ing with a 4-1 win over Ancaster (previously reported in the Beaver). Here's a recap of the remaining games in November. Burlington 6, OAKVILLE 3: Burlington broke a 2-2 stale mate in the third period with a pair of goals. Oakville cut the margin to 4-3 with two minutes remaining, but Burlington, to their credit, responded with a goal of their own with 1:37 left and iced it with one more 20 seconds later, to make the final 6-3. Scoring for Oakville were Kristen Capizzano with two and Cole Taylor with a single tally. Assists on the day went to Connor Stack with two, Greg Campbell and Kevin Guzzo. Brampton 4, OAKVILLE 0: the Rangers turned in an excellent effort against the top team in the league, holding the high scoring Battalion off the score sheet until late in the second period. OAKVILLE 4, Georgetown 4: Oakville improved on an earlier 6-1 drubbing with a 4-4 road draw. This (See 'Tyke' page D4) The Rangers defence gave up only four goals in three games, while the offence poured in 13, to claim deci sive victories over the Lome Park Ojibwa, the Applewood Cree and the Agincourt Canadiens. Goalies Foster Dyck and Ryan Moore didn't have much work, but were steady when called upon. Goal scorers were Andrew Eichinger (4), James Smith (3), Josh Wiley, Ian Stansfield, Nick Szabo, Jesse Maucieri, Tyrone Maguire and Ryan DiBattista. Assists went to Peter Copeland (2), John Nardozzi (3), Daniel Tavares, Wesley Brown, Cameron Walker, Adam Davis, Dalton Newsom (2), Ian Stansfield, Eichinger (3), Szabo, Smith (3) and Wiley (2). The Rangers wish to thank lead sponsors Webworx, Harry Rosen and Brendan Moore and Associates for their financial assistance in making these championship moments possible. icated to the notion o f becom ing an all-around player. W hen Tampa surprised ju st about everyone by making the playoffs in 1995-96, it was Zam uner who was front-and-centre. He had a team -best three shorthanded markers and post ed a plus/m inus rating o f p lu s-1 1, numbers indicative o f the player he had become. "I guess F m the jack o f all trades, m aster o f none," said Zam uner w ith a chuckle. A lthough his on-ice contributions are num erous, Zam uner is uncom fortable when talk turns to individ ual accom plishm ents. W hen it com es to discussing what he brings to the team, the most insightful answ ers come from anyone else but No. 17. "Rob has the ability to do so many things on the ice," praised team m ate and team captain Joe Thornton. "H e's the type o f player every team likes to have." Zamuner, who suited up with Team Canada at the 1997 and 1998 World C ham pionships, as well as the 1998 W inter Olym pics, admits life on and off the ice c a n 't be much better these days. The proud father o f two young children finds him self on a firstplace team that has shocked just about everyone so far this season -- with one lone exception. "Maybe people didn't give us a chance to do well this year, espe cially when we lost (all-star for ward) Bill Guerin and (No. 1 goal- tender) Byron Dafoe, but we believed in ourselves," said Zamuner. "We have a very close group of guys here and I think that makes a world o f difference." Before the season began, Zamuner, just as he does every year, set a list o f personal goals. And although they're not for public con sum ption, the bottom line, he assures, begins and ends with a fabled silver trophy. "I t's what every player plays the gam e for and F m no different," offered Zamuner, who also suited up for two seasons with the Ottawa Senators. "It's what pushes you to be the best you can be. "Individual marks don't mean a thing unless you win." A lthough he isn't afforded the opportunity to come back home to O akville as much as he'd like to, the kid who once pushed grocery carts through the snow at Longo's M arket and washed dishes at a Chinese restaurant, has nothing but fond m em ories o f his hometown. W hen he returns this summer, though, he's hoping to bring along som ething else on the trip. And w hether it does or doesn't happen, Zam uner, now in his 13th professional season, will continue to work tirelessly on improving him self. A fter all, it's the only way he's accustom ed to doing things. Just ask anyone whose had the good fortune to call him a teammate.
