Basketball: The senior boys bas- ketball team entered the Huron Conference playoffs yesterday High ,Se/lOol sports against hosting F.E. Madill of Wingham. On Thursday, the Pan- thers jumped into a 10-0 lead at the start of the game against Madill but lost 80-50. Simon Dinney had 14 points for the Panthers, and Brian McAllister just coining off the injured list add- ed nine. This game started with some fine play making by the hosting Pan- thers as Marty DeBruyn gave a nice pass to Greg Agnew who laid it softly off the glass. A few seconds later, DeBruyn stole the ball and scored which really brought South Huron to life. Earlier in the week Agnew netted 25 points and Dinney had 24 in an exciting 78-67 overtime win on Thursday against host Central Hu ron in Clinton. Last Tuesday, the Panthers played very well defensively in a Built for NHLer's Legoff's helmets part of history By Fred Groves T -A staff VANASTRA - Within the walls of the modest shop situated on Highway 4 in Vanastra, two em- ployees of a small company are becoming part of history. The company is Fiberglass Custom Molding is where Glenda White of Clinton and Al Legoff of Huron Park make goalie helmets for such National Hockey League star netminders as Ron Hextall, Grant Fuhr and Tom Borasso. Legoff who also makes sulky helmets says he has made about 3,0(X) goalie helmets in the past three years. Recent projects have been to make thc helmets which will be worn by the United States and Cana- dian goalies who are competing in the 1994 Winter Olympic Games in Norway. But all of that is overshadowed by a special as- signment Legoff had from (tech, the company which puts the wire cage and their trademark name on Legoffs creations. Al Legoff, right; of Huron Park and Clin- ton's Glenda White display some of their helmets. On Sunday during the United States' game, the U.S. goalies will be fitted with mini -cams to the sides of their helmets to give viewers a very differ- ent angle. It was Legoff who got the word from Itech that he had to come up with a way to attach a small camera to the shell of the helmet. "They didn't tell me how to do it. They just said we need one to fit on. It's the first time it's ever been done," said Legoff who made four of the specialty masks for the Olympics. The tiny cigar shaped camera has a transmitter and a battery pack in the back of the goalies' pants. All the masks which line the wall of the small shop in Vanastra are handmade. They start with a mold of an exact fitting of the goalies head. The owner of Fiherglass Custom Molding, Jerry Wright is the one who is in constant contact with 'tech. "He (Jerry) goes down and gets the impression of the guy's face and he brings it here," said Legoff. A lot of the masks used by Hextall, Fuhr, Burossa and the other NHLer's serve as prototypes for other masks. If a goalie has the same size head as the pros, instead of making another mold, they use one already in existence. "The secret to the whole thing is that when I make a mask for say Hextall, I make a mold," said Legoff. Itech is in the process of making goalies helmets for younger players but that could he a great ex- pense. Mass production would mean they would have to be made on a machine. "I've got about 10 different kinds," said Legoff of his current pro models. "They're trying to run these out on machines but they're not -trong enough." These handmade helmets cost about $700. What makes Legoffs masks stand up to a lot of NHL punishment is the layers of kevlar he Outs on. "We put triple kevlar in, it's the bullet proof stuff. It's what polic' where in their vests." The Itech helmets made in the shop in Vanastra by Legoff were the first ones to become CSA ap- proved and the testing they have to undergo is" one geared to safety for the goalies. "What they do is freeze the mask for four hours at 60 below zero and then they shot pucks at it at 150 miles per hour." While it is doubtful any hockey player, whether it be in the NHL or the Olympics will have pucks coming at them that fast, when they are standing be- tween the pipes they know they are well protected thanks to the craftsmanship of Al Legoff.
