Original Toronto Star caption: Parking lot prowess. The weather's been too mild for the real thing but substitute a puck for that tennis ball and skates for running shoes and the game's pretty much the same - without the ice. The name on Ralph Gorzynski's pads says it all as the 13-year-old road warrior blocks a shot while Joe O'Grady; 11; reaches for the balll during a pick-up game in a Port Credit parking lot.
