The Toledo Storm has its leading scorer back.

Center Scooter Smith missed just one game for Toledo after being called up for two games with the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League. Smith did not register a point, was

minus-2 and had only two shots on goal for the Pirates.

Smith, who was recalled yesterday, remains Toledo's leading scorer with seven goals and 12 assists.

In Smith's absence, the Storm signed Rick Judson, the organization's all-time leading scorer. Judson played in Toledo's loss to Johnstown Saturday night, registering one shot and was minus-1 with two penalty minutes.

The team released Judson yesterday but Storm coach Nick Vitucci said he may call upon Judson if the team is short-

handed in the future.

Judson, 36, is the Storm's all-time leader in goals, assists and games played.
