David Allan Weir Contributing Writer THE North Shore Griffins were virtual no-shows on Monday night as they suited up for the last game of their inaugural season in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League.

The Griffins fell to the Delta Ice Hawks 7-2 with the outcome all but determined in the first period.

The home squad trailed from the opening face off as Delta’s Geoff Heather skated in untouched to score against Griffins goalie Tomo Ushida just 13 scconds into the first period.

Delta would count another marker at 5:29 of the first as Ryan Brown’s behind-the-net centering pass hit Ushida’s skate and deflected into the net. Brown would add his see- ond goal 3:12 later on a two- on-one rush.

At the 12:09 mark of the first period he added his third tally of the contest for the nat- ural hat-trick and what turned out to be the game winning goal. The Ice Hawks out-shot the Griffins 14-2 and went to the dressing room at the end of the firse with an insur- mountable 4-0 lead.

The Griffins appeared to concentrate more on defence in the second period allowing just one Delta goal as Brendon Wust’s shot from the right wing bear Ushida at

A North Shore Griffins defender swats at a loose puck in front of his goal with a Delta Ice Hawks attacker bearing down on him. The Monday night game marked the last outing for the Griffins in their inaugural season in the Pacific international Junior Hockey League.

14:13 of the second.

The Delta onslaught con- tinued in the third period as Brown bulged the ovine for the fourth time on the night as he redirected a shot from Kyle Marynick.

Sloppy play and a failure to clear the front of the net resulted in the Ice Hawks’ seventh goal as Brown centred the puck to John Summers who had three good wacks at the puck before beating Ushida at 9:47.

Down 7-0 and the clock ticking down on the Griffins’ season, Jon Vanzella finally put the North Shore on the board at the 13:5] mark.

Arnold added the Griffins second goal with just 58 seconds remaining.

The Griffins, coming off an 8-3) win over the Grandview — Steelers on Sunday, appeared tired and fatigued from the time the puck was dropped as they failed to connect on their

passes and were unable to control the play in the offen- sive zone.

“With othe win last night...the expectations were a little bir higher and were tired,” said Grif coach Norm McNamara. “They (the Griffins) weren't ready in the first period and the other team came out well.”

The Griffins finished their first season with a stellar 5-36-1 record.
