Adam Marceau scored two-thirds of the famous "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" in less than a period and a half of hockey before being escorted off the ice at 7:46 of the second period as the Jr. 'A' Trappers dumped the struggling Sudbury Jr. Wolves 6-1 at Memorial Gardens on Friday night.

“Well I came out hitting, I think that’s a big difference I came out with some energy and kept going with it and scored the goal," said Marceau, who scored his first Jr. hockey goal and got into a short tilt with Sudbury's Zach McGillis in Friday's contest

It was a confident Jr Trappers bunch that broke things open in the third period after building a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes and 3-1 at the second intermission.

“They are responding, they are listening and they are buying in,” said Swalucynski about his club.

“We don’t do anything pretty we just work hard, chip it deep, stick up for ourselves and we play our way of hockey. Everybody knows it but nobody believes in us but they do believe in that dressing room so we are trying to earn respect a game at a time, a period at a time, a shift at a time, and that’s what we are all about this year."

Michel Gamache, Brodie Barron, Dan Frawley, Morgan Rudiger and Marcel Konopelky rounded out the scoring for the now 5-1 Jr. A Trappers.

Evan Daciuk scored the only goal for the Jr. Wolves who played without offensive dynamo Chris Kangas on the night. The Jr. Wolves sit in last place in the Eastern conference with a record of 1-4-2.
