Mancari: Master Blaster

Congratulations to Amerks forward Mark Mancari, whose record setting 102.8 MPH blast earned top prize at the AHL All-Star Skills Competition Sunday night in Binghamton. The booming slapper brought the fans to their feet, with the stick immediately being ushered to Toronto for display in the Hockey Hall of Fame. In a trying season for the Rochester, it's only natural that one of the year's brighter spots comes in an exhibition. Rochester’s leading scorer at the break with 13 goals and 36 points, Mancari replaced the recently recalled Clarke MacArthur in the Canadian All-Star lineup. The former Ottawa 67’s standout was chosen by the Sabres in the 7th round (204th overall) of the 2004 draft.
