18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Nov. 9, 1977 NTISEN AUN SIN) MONIES X. BEY HR TRAE A J SAN vA 2 NS FRASER ERR ECS ea Sports Flamingos fortunate in Port Hope victory < Port- Perry Flamingos got away with grand larceny Sunday night with a goal in the final seconds to edge the Port Hope Panthers 6-5 in Junior C action at. .the Scugog Arena. © Flamingos will take the two points, of course, in a lack-lustre affair which featured sloppy shooting and passing, and lead-footed skating on the part of both clubs. Port Hope was playing shorthanded in the final minute as the result of a double minor to captain Chris Bullen when Flam- ingos got a gift goal with seven seconds remaining. Dave Nicholson got credit for the winning marker which , came from a scramble in front of the Port Hope net. In attempt- ing to clear the puck 'by sliding on the ice, a Port Hope defenseman knocked it, into his own goal. The smooth-skating Office Supplies available at the STAR STATIONERY 985-7383 Nicholson provided the home-town fans with one of the new moments of excite- ment when he scored a pic- ture goal late in the second period. He picked up the puck in his own end, skated through the Port Hope de- fense apd put the goalie down and out before lifting a back-hand into an empty net. Nicholson also picked up two assists to make it a four-point night. Brad Nicholson had a productive game offensively as he pick- ed up assists on five of the six Port Perry goals. De- fenseman Mike Adams scored a pair, and Steve Jones and Stu Cochrane notched one each. For Port Hope, Brian Seabrook and Chris Bullen had two each, with a single marker going to Terry Watts. The Port Hope club is not considered one of the powerhouses' in the league this year (they were beaten 22-2 recently by Stouffville) and for much of the game Sunday night it looked like Flamingos were taking the game lightly. The team did not function as a unit; they were throwing the puck away blindly, missing pass- es, and at times looked tired and lethargic. Goalie Kevin Beere didn't get a lot of help in front of his net and had to come up with several good stops to keep the team in the game. Coach Dave Nicholishen made one line- up change, moving Bill Owen up to right wing and - playing forward Rob Evans back on defense. Port Hope jumped into a 2-0 lead before Flamingos got on the board in the first minute of the second period. The team played catch-up hockey until Mike Adams tied the score at 5-5 with six minutes remaining in the game, and Nicholson count- ed the winner in the dying seconds. hd Flamingos took 36 min- utes in penalties including five-minute' majors to Bill Owen and Mike Adams. The Panthers were called for 24 minutes and their goalie got a 10-minute mis- conduct for some unflatter- ing remarks to the referee. After a loss November 4 in Lindsay, Flamingos are: now six and five for the season, and they'll have their work cut out for them _ this Thursday night when they meet the tough Bow- manville squad at the New Scugog Arena.

Port Perry won the game 6 - 5, but it took a last second goal to do it. The Port Perry Minor Hockey Association is tak- ing a cautious wait-and-see attitude on a recent ruling by the Ontario Human Rights Commission which says that females cannot be - barred from playing minor hockey if they are judged good enough to "make a team. Association president Larry Lee said the hockey Bobcats by Scott Heard. The Port Perry Midget "2" Bobcats suffered their. first losses of the season as Uxbridge defeated "them twice in back to back games. The first was on Monday, © Oct. 31 by the score 3-2 and again on Thursday Nov. 3 by . the same margin. Unnecessary penalties cost Port both games as they' were killing them most of the time. In the first game the Bob- cats got a 1-0 lead at the 12:00 mark in the 2nd period with Greg Kroonenburg scoring from Tony Oxley. The remainder of the scor- ing came in the third period when Uxbridge tied it up at 2:26. Port Perry then took ~-the-lead again -with- Tony ~~ Oxley scoring and Greg Kroonenburg picking up the assist at 8:35 but Uxbridge made it 2-2 just 19 seconds later. Then Uxbridge wrap- ped it up at 11:35 making the final score 3-2. Fourteen minutes in penalties were given to Port Perry while Uxbridge received 18 minutes. Sa In_the second game once again Port Perry got the first goal, scored by Tony Oxley from Hal Storry at 3:48 in the first period. Uxbridge then put one in at 4:17 but the Bobcats made it 2-1 at the end of the period. There was one goal in the second period which was - scored by Uxbridge at 9:21 and that tied it at two apiece. Then in the third Uxbridge moved ahead 3-2.at 9:12 but Port Perry couldn't fight back as.they were short- handed which made the final score 3-2. executive had not had any official meetings on the issue, but added that the general concensus is not in favour of the ruling. Mr. Lee indicated that if the ruling, which is being "appealed. by the Ontario Minor- Hockey Association, is upheld, the local associa- tion would have to abide by it. There has been no request lose two This game was very '"'agressive"" with Port Perry being given 32 minutes and Uxbridge getting 16 minutes - in penalties. 'Rule on girls playing hockey "in Port Perry by a female wanting to play on a boys - team in the minor hockey program. The issue surfaced when an 11-year old Huntsville girl was barred last fall from playing goal with the 'town's Atom all-star team. The girl's mother, Mrs. Dorothy Cummings, com- plained to the. Human Rights Commission, and a decision was reached re- cently by University of Toronto law professor Mary Eberts which said girls can- not be barred if they are good enough to make the team. Reaction by minor hockey officials across the province has generally been against allowing girls to' play on boys teams at the minor hockey level. IS YOUR SPORT SNOWMOBILING?
