MARKUS NASLUND COMES OUT OF NOWHERE TO LAY A BID FOR THE ROCKET RICHARD


Calgary, AB - The Calgary Hurricanes, battling for the final playoff
spot in the Eastern Conference, finally have a star standing up for
them.  Markus Naslund has recaptured his scoring touch,
and for the first time in his TFHL Career leads the league in goals
after 65 games with 35 goals.  The key to success?  Apparrently he was
re-united with two individuals, his centerman Shawn Bates and coach Marc
Crawford.

"Marc decide to stick us back together (with Bates).  Shawn and I have
had a lot of great success with this club over the years, it isn't long
ago, along with Billy Guerin that we were the top line in the league. 
Now we have Alex (svitov) catapulting us in that direction again, and I
think all three of us are having fun with this." said Assistant Captain
Markus Naslund.

UP AND COMING
Injuries to the defense has given Ryan Parent plenty of chances on the
big club.  After being drafted last season in the second round, Parent
has become to blossom into the next big defender for the Hurricanes. 
"It's always a challenge.  This team has a lot of depth but with
injuries to guys like Bouillon and Souray, I've been able to squeeze in
some ice time.  My time will come." said the young rookie.
