Drydak was the brightest star at the Western Jr. 'B'
all-star game Monday.
The Sarnia Legionnaires rightwinger scored five
points and was named Player-of-the-Game for Team
Navy Blue.
The Blue squad, made up of athletes from Sarnia,
Lambton Shores, London, St. Marys and Strathroy,
edged Team White 14-12.
More than 600 fans took in the action at the Brock
Street Barn, with all proceeds going to Ronald
McDonald House.
Team White included players from St. Thomas,
Chatham, Leamington and LaSalle.
In all, five Legionnaires took part, and they were
all standouts. Collectively, they scored five goals
and eight assists.
In addition to Drydak's heroics, Shawn Waldie and
Tanner Tomlinson each had a goal and two assists,
while Nathan Mater blinked the red light once and
added a helper.
Legionnaires goalie Kyle Washer, who played half the
game, kicked out 23 of 27 shots he faced. Two of his
saves came on breakaways and several others were
also of the spectacular variety.
Drydak's first goal came in the first period when he
cut in front of the goal, deked the netminder of
position and backhanded the puck into a yawning
cage. His second marker came in the middle frame
when he popped in a loose puck during a goalmouth
scramble.
Tomlinson's goal was one of the prettiest of the
night. The rugged winger barged through the defence
and fired the puck home from point blank range.
Waldie found the back of the net with a rising shot
from the faceoff circle.
Mater flipped in a passout from the side of the net.
Sarnia' Owen Rogers was selected to play in the game
but was sidelined with an injury.
