Colella has fi ve point game for the Steam BY BRIAN LOCKHART The Alliston Coyotes pulled off a nice ending to the reg- ular season when they travelled to Bradford on Sunday, February 15, to take on the Rattlers and left the ice with a 4–3 win. Taking a two goal lead in the fi rst period on efforts from Frederik Sury and Timotej Kocar, the Coyotes were im- pressive on offence for the entire 20 minutes. Alliston forward Viacheslav Chegrintcev placed two pucks to the back of the Bradford net in the second period including a slick effort when he deked across the front of the net to drop the Rattles goalie out of position and shot the buck behind the goalie to score. The Rattlers stepped it up late in the period scoring three unanswered goals to challenge the lead going into the fi nal period. With one goal making the difference, the Coyotes put out a good defensive effort to shut down the Rattlers and after 20 minutes of play, neither team could score and the Coyotes left the ice with the 4–3 win. With the regular season wrapping up with the fi nal games on Sunday, the League is now going into a series of playdown games to determine which low seed teams will get a shot at entering the fi rst round of the playoffs.

Officers met 220 snowmobiles during their patrols, and the snowmobile operators were checked for sobriety, and safety/administrative compliance. There were very few who warranted being charged and all were sober. This is great news, and the Nottawasaga OPP is happy to report a successful long weekend on the trails. Summary of the few charges laid: 1 Driving while under suspension; 1 Speeding offence; 1 Expired validation. BASEBAR The OPP and OFSC share the same goal of making snow- mobiling a safe and enjoyable recreational activity for peo- ple throughout Ontario. On top of the patrols that the OPP officers’ conduct on the trail system, the OFSC S.T.O.P. vol- unteers maintain and know their OFSC trail systems well. The OPP values the expertise and knowledge they contrib- ute to helping us ensure that snowmobile enthusiasts are act- ing responsibly and within the law on OFSC Trails.
