One day after they defeated Hill Air Force Base while playing with just seven skaters and no goalie, the Flames ran out of gas against the Green Parrot March 21 at the Cottonwood Heights Civic Arena. The Green Parrot, with whom the Flames had shared the best regular-season record (12-1-1) in the Salt Lake Parks and Recreation Men's No-Check Hockey League, scored four third-period goals to take a 5-1 victory over Park City and capture the league championship. champion-ship. The strongest of the two men's no-check hockey teams from Park City (the other team is Park Avenue Automotive), the Flames needed a win over the Green Parrot to stay alive in the double-elimination double-elimination playoffs and two consecutive wins over the Parrot to claim the title. For two periods of the March 21 contest, they appeared to have a good chance of defeating the Salt Lake club at least once. The teams were tied after a scoreless first period that included some outstanding goaltending at both ends. The Green Parrot goalkeeper, former Salt Lake Golden Eagle Paul Skidmore, turned away Park City defenseman Luke Smith on a forehand from point-blank range. The Flames' Chad Lund responded by making a padsaveonadeke. With just over 11 minutes remaining in the second period, the Green Parrot scored on a two-man TZIIZ" i - - ..::,'J is ".'

Park City racers earn Junior Olympic medals Three Park City Ski Team racers proved last week that they are among the nation's fastest junior skiers. Scott Brandon, Cristin Circo and Justin Johnson all turned in top-five performances in alpine skiing at the 1993 Junior Olympics.

The eighth-grader eighth-grader at Treasure Mountain Middle School finished 14th in super G, sixth in giant slalom and third in slalom to nail down the title. While Brandon was racing in the J3 Games, Circo and Johnson were placing consistently high in races at the J2 (ages 15-16) Junior Olympics in Alyeska, Alaska. Circo finished third in the downhill, super G and giant slalom. "She's been doing real well in the speed events," said PCST coach Jesse Hunt. "But she's strong in everything-she had the potential to win in any event" Johnson finished fifth in the downhill, then came in second in the super G, just .06 of a second behind winner Kevin Eichner. He added a fifth-place finish in the giant slalom. "Justin is top notch," said PCST coach Jesse Hunt. "As a first-year J2 he was a dominating factor."
