Sapurji: Sickest goal of the season?

Permalink 12/13/09 19:02 , Categories: blog

In case you missed William Wallen's shootout goal during the Mississauga Majors' 3-2 loss to the Windsor Spitfires on Friday -- it's a candidate for goal of the year.

...

Now I'm probably a little biased because I'm a fan of Wallen, but to pull a move like that in a shootout against the top ranked team in the country takes balls crazy chutzpah.

And then to not only score, but celebrate by gliding in front of the Windsor bench on one knee? Wow.
He's lucky Dale Mitchell didn't jump over the boards and pull a Jeff Kugel. (remember him?)

Ps. I don't care how wrong the Don Cherry's of the world think Wallen's showboating is, that goal is worthy.

Pss. Watch the clip without audio, it's much better.

Sunaya Sapurji is in her tenth season covering the Ontario Hockey League for the Toronto Star. She was called up to the AHL beat in 2003-04 to follow the Toronto Roadrunners, but they skipped town sending her back to junior.

Prior to joining the Star, Sunaya worked in television, covered Tier II Jr. A hockey, university hockey (CIAU) and hosted an OHL radio show. She graduated from York University with degrees in English and Mass Communication.

As a youngster she followed the OHL's Toronto Marlies and her favourite player --Brian Collinson.

"I was 10 years old and he signed an autograph for me - automatically making him my favourite player," she recalled. "He's probably selling insurance now."

Sunaya has also done work for ESPN Magazine and a number of U.S. papers. As a proud Canadian, she is also a big supporter of Tim Hortons coffee, which she consumes daily and in large amounts. In addition to reporting on OHL, Sunaya is a full-time copy editor in the sports department at the Star.
