WINGS 4 BRUINS 1
The Wings jump out to a 4 zip lead and cruise to the victory. Mark Smyth with a two goal game. Ray “Dog” Tonelli with his second goal of the season. Wings sub Glen Paraskevin also with a goal. More on Glen later. Puck stopper Mike Allemon was outstanding between the pipes. Adam Godard with the lone Wings goal. Most of you probably don’t know the family history of sub Glen Paraskevin. Let me enlighten you! Growing up in the shadows of the State Fairgrounds in Detroit, Glen is the older brother of Kenny and Connie. Kenny played for Ron Mason at Michigan State and was the final 1980 Olympic cut by Herb Brooks. Connie is a retired professional track cyclist and speed skater. She is a four times sprint world champion and ten times national sprint champion and an olympic bronze medalist. At the age of 19 she was a member of the 1980 USA Winter Olympic speed taking team, but did not compete. In 1984 she did compete in the Winter Olympics. Quite a talented family! I’ve been fortunate to be a teammate of Kenny’s in various Ontario tournaments and it was a pleasure to be a teammate of his.
