Alessandro Nano scores first career goal

[leafsman 207]

Alessandro scored his ever goal as pro fittingly on fathers day.  Alessandro is the son of former Moscow defenseman Paolo Nano and he's currently following in his father's footsteps.  Both Alessandro and Paolo signed with Saskatoon prior to their VHLM draft.  They are both defenseman but Alessandro looks like he may be more of a physical player than his father was.  Alessandro got his first career goal on the powerplay against the Minnesota Strom at 15:45 of the first period.  Griff Mackenzie won the face-off to linemate Duncan Montana who sent it back to Nano who had the space for a Slapshot and blasted it by Dexter Vaughn.  The wild will hope to see Nano score more goals against the Strom as they are matched up in the first round of the playoffs.   Alessandro finished his first partial season in the VHLM scoring 1 goal and 2 assists in 18 games.  He also recorded 12 shots, 16 penalty minutes with 23 hits and 30 blocks.
