Former Notre Dame Academy goalie allows three goals in four games

Janesville goalie Tony Kujava notched two shutouts and allowed only three goals in four contests as the Jets skated to a perfect 4-0 record and were crowned champions of the 2011 Combat Hockey/NAHL Showcase tournament held at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota.

The Jets flew past the competition, grabbing a 2-0 win over Wenatchee on Wednesday as Kujava stopped 19 shots in the shutout. In Thursday's game, the Jets edged Kalamazoo 2-1 after scoring two goals early in the third and holding on for the victory.

On Friday, the Jets blanked Odessa 4-0 behind 27 saves by Kujava, a 2010 Player of the Year finalist. The final day of the tourney saw Janesville notch win number four as they beat Kenai River 4-2 and earned the title as determined by goal differential, as Fresno and Fairbanks also fashioned perfect marks.
