EERE TREE ww SER TIE. 22 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. January 17, 1984 Snipers rusty as Port Hope salvages 4-4 tie by John B. McClelland Failure to cash in on numerous good scoring chances cost the Port Perry MoJacks a victory over the Port Hope Panthers Sunday night at the Scugog Arena. The MoJacks had at least a half dozen clear breakaways plus . several other point- blank shots at the Pan- ther net, but had to settle for a 44 draw as the visitors netted the tying goal with just 44 seconds to play in the game. While a single point is better than a loss, it was a disappointing outcome for the MoJacks as the team now finds itself in fifth place in the Central Junior C standings, two points back of the Little Britain Merchants. Trying to snap out a disastrous slump that has dragged on for several weeks, the Mo- Jacks played well enough to win Sunday night and in fact had leads on two occasions of 3-0 and 4-1. /[#58R) - Candid Weddings - {/ (Ch - PHONE 985-7086 REKKER PHOTOGRAPHY They could have put the game away several times, but MoJack shooters were either missing the net or firing the puck into the pads or glove of Panther goalie Guy Foster. The tying goal for the Panthers came at 19:16 with the netminder out for an extra attacker as Brian Giroux beat Clay Lovering from the side of the net. Last Thursday night, the Panthers on home ice handed the MoJacks a 9-7 defeat, their seven- th in the last eight games. But Sunday night at the Scugog Arena, it looked like things might be turning around for the MoJacks as they built a 3-0 lead by the mid-point of the second. point on goals by Brian Nicholson, Brian Mikk- elsen and Wayne Snodden. Clay Lovering looked sharp in the MoJack nets and had a shut-out going for nearly two periods before he was beaten on a long, screened shot from the left blue line. At 3:10 of the third, Glen McKay gave the MoJacks a 4-1 lead as he converted passes from Scott Wallace and Dave Rockbrune. But the Panthers got one back at 4:49 and then began to apply pressure which resulted in a goal at 16:05 to make it 4-3. That set the stage for the tying goal in the final minute, and the MoJacks left the ice a frustrated and dis- appointed group of hockey players. Last Thursday night in Port Hope, the Mo- Jacks at one point were trailing 8-2 before they came alive in the third period with five goals, four of them by forward Scott Wallace. But the Panthers added one in the final minute to hang on to the victory. Brian Nicholson with a pair and Todd Wilbur with one were the other marksmen for the Mo- Jacks who had just 12 skaters and two goalies. When things are going badly for a team, Lady Luck takes a vacation as newcomer Marvin MacNeil who looked impressive in his first two games, came down _ with appendicitis last week and may be lost for the rest of the season. Gord Rogers re- injured a charley-horse in Thursday's game and it's not known when he'll be back on the blue line. 179 CASIMIR ST.
