Toronto Falls to New York in Home Opener

[Corco 1,237]

Woes Continue for Legion

Toronto forward Bjorn Scoringsonn can only hang his head in shame after a 4-3 loss at the hands of the New York Americans

 

TORONTO, Ontario - What is supposed to be a season of building off the rebuilding progress made last season by the Toronto Legion has not started out according to plan. In the home opener against the rival New York Americans, the Legion appeared to start out S71 on the right foot, with Bjorn Scoringsonn scoring a goal in the first minute, but the Legion were unable to hold the lead very long, allowing New York to rattle off the next 3 goals to end the period down 3-1. The 2nd period was all Toronto though, as Rusty Shackleford and Boone Jenton would each score their first of the season, with the game heading into the 3rd period locked at 3. Shackleford would take a boarding minor five minutes into the third period, and Soren Jensen would score on the ensuing powerplay. That score would hold, and the Americans would take the season opener from the Legion by a score of 4-3.
