fs al 1d 1d 2 Ken Harman wins Vaughan McKee Memorial award Junior C MoJacks honoured at banquet The Port Perry MoJacks held their annual banquet and awards presentation Saturday night to put the cap on a hockey season most of them would like to forget. On the ice, the team had less than & .500 record during league play, then bowed out four straight in the opening playoff series. And last November, tragedy struck with the untimely death of Vaughan McKee, one of the most ~ popular, dedicated and hard- working players ever to wear a Port Perry Junior C uniform. At the banquet Saturday evening, leam general manager Murray - Parliament said Vaughan's death was felt deeply by all connected with the MoJacks, but he praised the team members for 'sticking together during a very difficult ime. "I'm very proud of the way the guys (players) themselves," he stated. handled Paul Arculus, track and field coach at Port Perry High School was a special guest speaker at the banquet. Mr. Arculus "coached Vaughan in field events and called him the "most dedicated and hard- working individual I have known in almost 30 years of teaching, "He "noted the records Vaughan set in the shot put that will probably stand for a long tiine. And Mr. Arculus presented a new team trophy, the Vaughan McKee Memorial Award for the hardest working team player. Goaltender Ken Harman was the recipient of this award for the first time and nobody could quibble with that choice. Harman never missed a practise during his time in a MoJack uniform and even when injured he dressed and played in games. To nobody's surprise, captain Brian Nicholson was named the team MVP. He finished second in league scoring, but led in goals. The best defensive player was Jeff McColl. The Oshawa native in his second season with the team always came to play a tough, ag- gressive style of hockey. The most improved award went to Paul Goreski. He mainly perform- ed back-up duties in the nets, but when called on to play, turned in some fine games. He'll likely see a lot more action in the cage next season. The rookie of the year trophy went to Andy Sutch. A native of Pon- typool, Sutch proved to be a fine play-maker and goal scorer. He's strong and likes the heavy bumping in the corners. And the MoJacks Best Team Player award went to goaltender Ken Harman. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 25, 1986 -- 23 Winner of the Watts family trophy for most improved play was netminder Paul Goreski. Clare Watts made the presentation. : CHANGES 3 There could be some significant a changes made in the Junior C make- 1 up for next season. The league is | trying to alter the rule to allow up 4 to three over-age players (21) to 3 compete for each team. If this change is adopted, it would allow the "MoJacks to use Harman and Brian Nicholson next year. Also, there is a chance the Central Junior C loop will see re-alignment into two divisions as both Wellington and Gananoque from eastern On- tario are trying to gain entry into this loop. The decisions on the over-age rule. and the possible entry of new teams will be made over the summer months. ot i Team captain Brian Nicholson who did a lot of scoring was named MoJack MVP for the 1985-86 season.
