MolJacks need one more victory Ri... fr A ANTRRREER oe MoJack forward John Harman tries to work his way in front of the Hano- ver Baron net during first period action Sunday at the Scugog Arena. The always feisty Harman turned in a good game as he scored once and the MoJacks went on to dump Hanover 6-2 to take a three-two lead in games in the best of seven all-Ontario semi final Junior C series. The MoJacks could wrap things up to-night in Hanover. (see story for series details) SECOND SECTION Tuesday, April 26, 1988 SECOND SECTION Best of luck, Duggar The Port Perry MoJacks showed a touch of class Sunday afternoon when team general manager Murra sweater to Scugog Arena attendant Keith Clement during the second peri- od intermission of the playoff game between Port Perry Keith, who Is better known around the Arena as "Duggar," will be taking a new job this week at a factory in Aurora. The MoJacks made the presenta- 4on 4s 2 way of saying thanks to Duggar for his many years of fine service at the Arena. Parliament presented this hockey and Hanover. The Port Perry MoJacks are one victory away from a berth in the all-Ontario Junior C hockey finals, and they have two chances . to get it. Leading the Hanover Barons three games to two in the best of seven semi final, the MoJacks could wrap up things tonight (Tuesday, April 26) when they travel to Hanover for game six in what has been a rough and tumble series. The MoJacks moved ahead in the series after taking two of three games from the Barons at the Scugog Arena. After losing 5-4 last Thursday night, they won an important overtime victory Satur- day, and then turned in a superb performance Sunday afternoon for a solid 6-2 win. Sunday's gamc was thc Mo- Jacks best in this tough series. They never trailed, out-shot the visitors 43-31, and when the fisti- cuffs broke out late in the third period, they won that category as well. Craig Menzies clicked at 10:36 of the first on a screened shot with Clay 'Dempsey and Dave Burnett getting the assists. Early in the second, Burnett was set up at the side of the net by Darren Nesbitt and he one- timed the puck past Bill Nightin- gale. At 8:50, with the teams four- aside, John Harman Stepped out of the corner with the puck and slapped a shot into the short side for a 3-0 MoJack lead. Steve Schenk replied for Han- over on a power play at 9:42, but less than a minute later, with the MoJacks still killing a penalty, Kevin Long stole the puck at cen- tre ice for a partial breakaway and flipped it past Nightingale on a great individual effort. - But the Barons cut the lead to 4-2 when Barry Riff counted on a power play at the mid-point. The goal that really stung the Barons came at 3:04 of the final period, and it was Kevin Long who did the damage. He took a pass from Greg Warriner, moved quickly around a defender and fired between the pads of the Hanover goalie. Just three minutes later, ver- satile Thane Ellis, who was play- ing defense, ripped a screened shot from 30 feet out. That gave the MoJacks a comfortable 6-2 lead, and they controlled the play for much of the remainder of the game. PE This was another chippy, hard hitting game, and with the Mo- Jacks holding the upper hand in the third period, the inevitable fighting broke out with seven minutes to play. Four players from each tcam received figthing majors and game misconducts, Phil McBride, John Harman, Craig Menzies and Rob Baker for the MoJacks, and Scott Schenk, Caleb Howland, Mike Bender and Scott Ruhl for Hano- ver. McBride, up from the Port Midgets, also picked up an ag- gressor penalty as he manhandled Baron captain Schenk. There were three other scraps during the game, and one may prove costly to the MoJacks as their fine defenseman Jeff McColl and Hanover forward Rob Wallace both got match penalties for grab- bing the face mask. Hardly a punch was thrown in that one. In all, the MoJacks were as- sessed 21 minors, nine game mis- conducts for figthing and one match penalty. The Barons took 20 minors, two misconducts, ten game misconducts for figthing and one match penalty. It has been a chippy series throughout, but this was the first serious out-break of fisticuffs. The MoJacks refused to let them- selves be pushed around. Paul Goreski got his second straight start in the MoJack cage, and he looked very comfortable, ~ especially controlling rebounds in the crease. - With Chris Edmondson out with an injury and Jeff McColl out of the game in the first peri- od, Darren Nesbitt and Rob Met- calfe logged a lot of ice time. John Hartford, Thane Ellis and Phil McBride. saw duty on the blue line, and had solid games. Ellis killed penalties and worked the power play, and his versatili- ty is a big plus for the MoJacks in this series. It was standing room only for this game at the Scugog Arena, and should the series go seven, it will be in Port Perry this Thurs- day night (April 28) with face-off at 8:30 PM. O.T. VICTORY The MoJacks tied the series at two games each Saturday night at the Scugog Arena when forward Dean Smethurst scored with just over two minutes left in the sec- ond period of overtime. Smethurst's goal in front of a near capacity crowd gave the Mo- Jacks a 4-3 win in a gruelling, bitterly contested hockey game. It wasn't a picture-perfect goal, and it was hotly disputed by the Baron coach Jim Nixon and goalkeeper Bill Nightingale who argued long and loud with referee Paul Bourgard. 'Both teams were showing the strain of nearly 90 minutes of hockey when captain Darren Nes- bitt knocked down a clearing pass at the Baron blue linc and lifted a (Turn to page 2A) Maple Leafs to help the kids They might make their living playing hockey but it isn't the on- ly sport some of the Toronto Maple Leafs excel in.
