Don't be surprised, when the Steamers play the Wichita Wings on Saturday night in Wichita, Kan., if Slobo Ilijevskl runs onto the Kansas Coliseum field in full battle regalia and digs a moat in front of the goal he protects.

That makes it more of an end-to-end game than it already is. Wichita will miss Chapman, but Jeff Bourne (41 goals, nine assists) and Kim Roentved (20 goals, 22 assists) are both strong goal scorers, and when (goalie Mike) Dowler gets hot, you can't put the ball past him." Dowler has a 4.25 goals-against average.
