  MONTREAL -- The New York Islanders kept everyone guessing, including John Tavares himself, right up until they made the high-scoring center the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NHL entry draft.
  
  The Islanders chose Tavares, an 18-year-old junior star with the London Knights, with the first overall pick ahead of 6-foot-6, 220-pound Swedish defenseman Victor Hedman, the top-ranked European prospect.
  ...
  Tavares, a 6-foot, 185-pound native of Oakville, Ont., led the Ontario Hockey League with 58 goals this season and broke Peter Lee's 33-year-old league record of 213 career goals.
  ...
  "Yeah, I had no idea, just like everybody else," Tavares said. "I didn't know what their decision would be but it was obviously a great moment for me, a special feeling."
  
  Tavares' selection was immediately celebrated by Islanders fans, who were shown on the Bell Centre video scoreboard gathered for a team draft party at Nassau County Coliseum, the team's arena in Uniondale, N.Y.
  
  "I didn't see it but I heard things and obviously they are really interested in having me, and I definitely have the support of the fans and the community -- that's huge," Tavares said.

  One can't blame John Tavares for being oblivious to the downward trend in the economy and insecurity in the workforce. The 40-year-old is too busy working two jobs. A teacher by day at Philip Pocock Secondary School, Tavares is a sharpshooter by night for the National Lacrosse League's Buffalo Bandits. And on Wednesday, the all-time leading scorer in NLL history re-signed with the team through the 2011 season. "Johnny is the number one leader on our team," said head coach Darris Kilgour.
  ...
  Tavares has been working out harder this off-season than at any time in his career at the CrossFit Club in Port Credit. "I didn't know if I had another year (of lacrosse) in me. Between summer and winter lacrosse, after this (past) summer, I was exhausted. I didn't know if I had it in me, to do it again. "But after I started working out, I began to think I can add on a couple more years (to my career)." Healed from knee and shoulder injuries, Tavares says he's ready to do battle again, even at the age of 40. "I have been privileged to be with the same team starting in 1992, and I am thrilled to have played my entire career with Buffalo. I started my career as a Bandit, and I hope I can end it as a Bandit as well." Last season, the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Tavares led the Bandits in scoring for the 10th straight year with 87 points, including 29 goals. He was named a first-team NLL All-Pro and was selected to his seventh NLL All-Star game. Tavares also became the NLL's all-time leading goal scorer with his fourth goal of the game on Jan. 19 against the New York Titans. Tavares is the all-time NLL leader in goals (620), assists (706) and points (1,326). He is also the Bandits' franchise leader in every major offensive category and holds the team's single-season record for points (115; 2000-01), goals (51; 2000-01), assists (64; 2000-01) and shots (210; 2001-02). Tavares has been a member of all four Buffalo Bandits World Championship rosters.
