Jason Klauka always knew he could score goals and amass points. "It's just I broke my arm the last two years," the Linganore senior ice hockey player said.
Klauka, who estimates he played in three games as a sophomore and six as a junior, has managed to stay healthy through the Lancers' first seven games this season and opposing goaltenders have paid. The forward leads all public school players in the Maryland Scholastic Hockey League with 35 points (24 goals, 11 assists) and he's tied for the lead in goals with Tuscarora's Oleg Bordoygov, who has played in two more games than Klauka.
Though he cannot fully rotate his right arm anymore, Klauka said his injuries haven't affected his play, outside of leading to a little pain now and then. And any discomfort is easily outweighed by the joy created with each win by Linganore, which missed the playoffs last season.
"It's been very exciting," said Klauka of the Lancers' 7-0 start. "It's the first year our school has been into it."
Klauka will miss his team's game Friday against Thomas Johnson (6-1-1), but will be back for Monday's game against Middletown (3-3) -- and hopefully he'll return healthy.
"I'm going to Canada," he said, "on a snowboarding trip."
