A stretch in the low minors did wonders for the Skipjacks' Trevor Halverson.Back after scoring seven goals in nine games for the Hampton Roads Admirals of the East Coast Hockey League, Halverson has four goals in as many games for the Skipjacks.

For decades Americans have flocked to the cities and beaches of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, setting up homes, resorts and businesses like pins in a bowling alley. Hurricanes such as Isabel are the bowling balls, and scientists such as Jeffrey B. Halverson spend their lives trying to understand them so forecasters can better predict where each will strike. With millions of lives and billions of dollars in property at stake, plus an unprecedented set of tools at scientists' displosal, Halverson says, Isabel "is probably going to be one of the best-studied storms in history."

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The goalies dress in a room that is even smaller than the cramped visitors' dressing room in the bowels of the Rochester War Memorial.That gave Olaf Kolzig, who had the night off, plenty of opportunity to commiserate with Jim Hrivnak, the losing goalie in the Baltimore Skipjacks' 6-4 loss to the Rochester Americans last night."I told him that was the most unbelievable period of hockey I've ever seen," said Kolzig.Hrivnak was more concerned with the Southern Division leaders' fourth consecutive loss, to the last-place team no less, than with his ill fortune.

QUEBEC CITY -- The Washington Capitals came out of yesterday's NHL expansion draft in pretty much the same shape they entered it.And that's exactly the way general manager David Poile wanted it.Poile left slim pickings for Anaheim and Florida when he traded Reggie Savage, Paul MacDermid and Paul Cavallini on Sunday. The expansion clubs' enthusiasm -- or lack of it -- was evident as the draft unfolded at the Octave-Cremazie Hall of the Grand Theatre. The Capitals lost no one off their 1992-93 roster, and were the second-to-last team to have a player selected.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- If he were a betting man, Barry Trotz said, he probably wouldn't put a nickel on his Skipjacks. Instead, he'd bet the farm on the Binghamton Rangers."

Ever since he came to the Skipjacks in an offseason trade with Winnipeg, center Simon Wheeldon has preached the power of the power play.Never was its strength more evident than in last night's 5-2 win over the Halifax Citadels at the Arena.The Jacks (7-4-1) scored on three of their first five power plays in the opening period, with the line of John Purves, Craig Duncanson and Wheeldon landing all of the goals."When the specialty units are clicking like that, you win games," said Wheeldon, who has seven goals, five with the extra attacker.

John Byce couldn't have regained the Skipjacks' scoring lead in much more dramatic fashion.With a backhand flick of his stick, Byce jammed in his 22nd goal of the season with 2:20 remaining to give the Skipjacks a 7-6 victory over the Hershey Bears last night before 2,651 at the Baltimore Arena.Byce entered the game with a one-goal edge over Reggie Savage. After Savage tied him with his 20th, Byce scored his 21st only to have Savage match him again.Byce's 22nd broke a 6-6 tie, the fifth deadlock of the evening.
