PORT Panthers down Flamingos 8-3 By Andrea Jones Inconsistancy has been, a problem for the Port Perry Flamingos this season, and putting two good games together looks impossible at this point. The Flamingos looked good against Stouffville last week only to be humiliated on Sunday by Port Hope Panthers losing 8-3. The whole team suffered from this inconsistancy dur- ing the game. Goalie Scott Little making his first start of the season made some excellent stops only to have others bounce in or trickle between his legs. In the early stages the Flamingos killed three con- secutive penalties only to have Port Hope score in a scramble around the net. Port Perry tied the score with a goal by Christie from Morgan and Haynes but again play deteriorated "as Jones missed a check forc- ing Evans to deal with a three on one situation, and the Panthers scored again. Although the Flamingos had some good chances by Thornbury and Cameron and the Scott brothers, they failed to capitalize on power plays. The game was still within reach after the TOM WALSH PERRY second period with the score 3-1. Frustration seemed to be the problem for the Flamin- gos in the third period. Port Hope sticks and elbows were high on several occas- ions and Haynes, Jones and Gord Scott were eventually ejected for retaliating. Port Hope completely dominated the final period scoring five goals and con- trolling the puck well: Flamingos lone goal in the: period came from Gord Scott with Mike Healey and Craw-. ford drawing assists. The talent is there, it needs some work however and that's what the Flamingos are failing to do. Hard work and desire are what it takes and it will take some extra effort by every member of the club to produce a winner. The Flamingos face Frankfort on October 31 in Port Perry at 7:30. Brooklin, Cawkers top Broomball League CAWKERS 5 -- SMIT'S 1 In this game there were some good passing plays and a fight. Cawkers went out in front at the 7:18 mark in the first period on a goal by Doug Scott from Rob Evans and Carl Russell. Four minutes later, Caw- kers scored again on the power play with Ron Craw- ford serving one of his four minors of thé day. Colin Wackett got the goal with Dan Taylor and Bruce Woodrow. Seven minutes later Cawkers scored a second power play goal with PROPRIETOR SIDING -- AWNINGS -- DOORS - WINDOWS SOFFITS -- FASCIA -- EAVESTROUGHING CUSTOM SHUTTERS %* 25 Year Written ji' Guarantee re * Instruction Kit If You Wish To Do It Yourself % Free Estimates SERVING PORT PERRY BLACKSTOCK UXBRIDGE BROOKLIN WHITBY OSHAWA & AREA PORT PERRY 985-3912 OUT OF TOWN -- CALL COLLECT We Now Have NO-LEAD GAS Specializing in: Pat Thompson off for inter- ference.

On the same play, Doug Scott of Cawkers and Pat Thompson of Smit's exchan- ged words and after the goal got into a fight which seen both players ejected from the game and sus- pended for three weeks. Forty-nine seconds later, Cawker's scored once more with both teams two men short. Bruce Woodrow scored unassisted. Smit's managed to score 29 sec- onds later on a goal by Ken Nightingale from Ron Short. BROOKLIN 2 -- UTICA 0 Brooklin remained unde- feated as the Utica Auto Body suffered their second straight loss. This game featured some stiff body contact and a couple of astounding plays. It wasn't long for the first taste of excitement as at the 5:39 mark of the first period, referee Mike Healey called for the first penalty shot of the season as a Utica player smoothered the ball in their own crease. Glen Kellogg took the penalty shot for Brooklin and was stopped on a nice play by goalie (continued on page 20) o ON-CAR WHEEL BALANCING o MINOR REPAIRS & TUNE-UPS e OIL CHANGE & LUBRICATION o FRONT END & BRAKE REPAIR ~o TIRE SALES & SERVICE (New & Used Tires) Accepted Credit Cards MASTER CHARGE TEXACO - CHARGEX Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Saturday -8:00a.m. 10 6:00 p.m Sunday - 10 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. TAYLOR'S TEXACO Corner of Union & 7A Hwy. 985-3655 Canadians should have learned at least one thing from our four encounters with Russian and other European hockey teams. Unless there is a drastic change in our approach to the game we're not gong to be Number One much longer. Canada invented ice hockey and I suppose it's understandable that we thought our professionals were the best in the world. European teams have enjoyed tremen- dous success against our best since the first series in 1972. A bunch of comparative newcomers have shown us, among other things, that you don't pass stiff exams without doing a lot of home work. And that, dear hockey player and fan is what this .of value to all young hockey players, series is all about. Homework. Going back to hockey's primary school (to which most of us never went) and learning the ABCs, the three R's or whatever else you call basic training. Because it's something I never had. Oh, I learned enough about hockey to spend 8 years playing in the N.H.L., and several more coaching professional teams, But, it was not until after my professional career, when I started working with child- ren that I discovered the real guts of the game, why many kids skates are junk, why a hockey stick can be kids biggest handicap, why no youngster can be a good skater without learning balance. I had to learn by observation, the simple mechanics of developing power in a skating stride. I tried to figure out why a kid stops thinking when he starts moving. Only then did I realize that most Canadian boys never had a hope of reaching the N.H.L., because of the haphazard way they broke into the game. So I began the meticulous inspection of the boy's skates, sticks, and protective equipment and over the years devised drills for teaching the basic skills. I wanted to create a learning experience that would be whether they had big league ambitions or not. Two victories for Legionaires The Legion Pee Wee's win back to back games against Pickering. Thursday night in Pickering, they edged the one assist, and Jones one assist. Young and Henricks each had a goal and Vizely, Daniels, Crowell and Young Friday night, at home, the Legionaires came out shoot- ing and pumped 4 goals by a shaky Pickering goaltender .home club 5 to 4. Friday night back home, they hand- ed the visitors a decisive 6 to 2 defeat. Thursday night the Legion- aires were first on the score- board, then some defensive mistakes cost them and Pic- kering jumped into a 3 to 1 lead by the midway point in the second period. Port fought back late ip the period with two quick counters to tie the game. Port scored two more goals in the third period, and looked to be home free, however, Picker- ing took advantage of some poor clearing in Port's end and cut the margin to one goal as they fired a rebound by Lovering who had made a great save on a breakaway. With time running out the Legionaires drew two penal- ties and were hard pressed to preserve the win as Picker- ing pulled their goaltender in favour of a sixth attacker and were pressing for the tying goal at the buzzer. The Storry, Horton, Jones line led the way offensively. Storry had 2 goals and 2 g assists, Horton one goal and Port. each one assist. was strong in the nets for Smorgasbord SERVED: 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. Monday to Friday 0 FO 0 0 0 FO 0 0 0 0 0 OO aq Lovering before the game was four minutes old.
