A od " Z 7 7 7 + 72 Bs MoJacks still un-defeated at home after 7-3 win over Muskies For the Port Perry MoJacks so far this season, there's no place quite like home. The team has yet to suffer a: defeat in the friendly Scugog Are- na. In fact seven of the 11 points the MoJacks have put on the gee grrap pep yy A Pn 2 rn ed ll AP Fit ofa fd A 5% Ss: os cp Brad Bricknell board to date have come on home ice. On the road, the team has won two and lost three, Last Sunday night at the Scu- gog Arena, the team got some outstanding work from the penalty killing squads and a solid all-round effort from everyone else as they had little trouble handing the Lindsay Muskies a 7-3 defeat. Brad Bricknell was in the nets for the MoJacks, and though he faced just 26 shots, he had to be sharp when the Muskies were on the power play. The key to the game was probably in the second period when the MoJacks killed off a two man disadvantage when the score was still fairly close. The MoJacks took 14 minors - to five for the Muskies, but gave up just one power play goal late in the game when the outcome was long decided. Port Perry never trailed in this one, as Jeff Fitchett scored in the opening minute of play. It was the first of two for Fitchett, along with an assist, and he did some good work while the team was killing penalties. He was teamed on a line with Warren Geer and John Harman as Brad Menzies is out with a sore made a fine stop on this play during Junior C action Sunday night as the MoJacks defeated the visiting Lindsay Muskies 7-3. BrickneH faced 26 shots and he had to be especially sharp while the MoJacks were killing pen- altles. The win keeps the MoJack un-defeated home ice streak going (see story) Two ties and a victory for the Novice Auctioneers The Port Perry Novice 'Pearce Auctioneers' had a busy schedule last weekend playing host to Port Hope on Fri., Nov. 4, then travell- ing to Omemee on Sat., Nov. 5 to play Lindsay for their second league game this weekend. The Fri. night game against Port Hope saw some very good hockey as these 2 novice hockey clubs skated to a 1-1 tie. Perhaps the best game this season so far for the "Auctioneers", saw Kent Johnston score in the first period to lead Port Perry 1-0. The second period saw as much action as the first and Port Hope tied the game up on a power play as Port Perry was a man short in the penalty box. The third period was scoreless but was more exciting than the first 2 periods with the Port Perry goal tending and defencemen playing exceptional- ly well. Notable mention for Rob Murphy on defence who ruined many chances for Port Hope to score. : The Sat. afternoon game in Omemee against Lindsay ap- peared to be just a continuation of Fri. game as it was easy to see both teams were hungry for a win. Lindsay opened the scoring in the first period with Port Perry unable to tie up the game until almost the end of the second period with a goal from Daryl McEnaney assisted by Kent Johnston. The third period was scoreless leaving the game tied Petites clear away doom The weekend was a cool, wet and dreary one but if you noticed the skies clearing briefly on Sun- day afternoon, it may well have been when the Petites scored their winning goal against En- nismore. Our Port PUty cam looked very strong at the beginn- ing of the game - their first game at "home" - but they soon found 'themselves several goals behind. "The grey gloom that had dominated the weekend weather seemed to move inside the arena until the team charged back to a convincing 8-4 victory. Amanda Webb scored three goals and had two assists. Leea Kinnumen scored the winning goal and Lyn- da Payne and Brandie Harris also had excellent games, each scor- ing twice. The game was a nail- biter. but the Port Perry fans trudged back out into the grey | drizzle with smiles on their faces. 1-1, only by the good effort put forth by the entire "Auctioneer" team. With no scheduled game for Sun., Nov. 8, 88, the Auctioneers were invited to Uxbridge on Sun. afternoon for an exhibition game against Uxbridge. The Port Perry squad continued the style of hockey Sunday that they were playing Fri. & Sat. and came away defeating Uxbridge 4-1. The first period saw no score at the end of 10 minutes but the second period saw a 2 goal lead by Port Perry. A fine game effort by Derek Leeming and Joey Vanderleeuw saw Joey pick up an assist on Derek's goal. Less than 3 minutes later, still in the second period, Daryl McEnaney moved in on the Uxbridge goal and then set up Dillan Weber for Dillan's first goal of the season. Uxbridge managed to score their lone marker 22 seconds into the third period but Port Perry continued on for 2 more goals. Our third goal was scored by Ken Johnston assisted by daryl McEnaney. Just to finish things off Justin Halligan scored when Danny Robinson fed him a perfect pass. thanks to all the boys for a great weekend of hockey. Our next game is in Stouffville, Fri., Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. knee. Geer continues to hold a hot scoring hand for the MoJacks, and he clicked for a hat trick plus two assists. One of this goals came on a short-handed breakaway. Harman had three assists. Thane Ellis and Len Giacalone rounded out the scoring for the MolJacks, who fired 46 shots at the Lindsay cage. For the Muskies, Andy Campbell had a pair and Jeff Van Slaik added a single. This may have been the best outing for the MoJacks in several games as they were solidly in con- trol from start to finish. Mark Barkey from the Juve- niles and Todd Taylor for the Mid- gets were pressed into service as the MoJacks were missing three regulars, and they had good games for the team. ~The blue line crew was effec- tive in clearing rebounds from the front of the MoJack net. On Friday night, the MoJacks made the long trip to Wellington to face the Dukes. The MoJacks were short-staffed for this one and ran out of steam against the swift- skating Dukes in the third period. Wellington scored four in the final frame en route to a 6-3 victo- ry. John Harman with a pair of goals and Paul Barry with a single did the scoring. It was a tough week for the MoJacks with five games and three long road trips. But they managed to pick up. six of ten possible points. There's no place quite like home After a disastrous outing Hal- loween night in Cobourg in which the MoJacks were trounced 9-3 by the Cougers, things im- proved somewhat two evenings later in Trenton. A short-staffed MoJack squad stayed out of the penalty box and defeated the Hawks 64. Brad Menzies had a five point night with a goal and four assists. Singles came from defenseman Paul Barry, rookie Jim Gibbens, John Harman, Duane Lukawesky into the empty net, and Todd Tay- lor, up from the Port Midgets for this game, along with Kevin Gib- son. The MoJacks took just six minors in this one, and Jeff Lynch had to handle 45 shots in the cage. ' At the other end of the rink, Hawk netminder Lonnie Lewis faced 57 shots. The MoJacks had just 14 skat-- ers in the line-up for this game as three regulars were working shift. It was an important win for the team, rebounding from the lop-sided defeat two nights earlier. Tonight, Nov. 7, the team makes its first trip to Bowman- ville for a game against the Eagles in the new arena there. And this coming weekend, the MoJacks have a crucial home and. - home series with the Little Britain Merchants. They are in L.B. on Saturday and back home Sunday for a 7:30 faceoff at the Scugog Arena where the undefeated streak will be on the line again. The Merchants have been playing good hockey so far this season. NOTEPAD: The Scoro competi-. tion on Sunday night featured something of a rarity. One person held both winning tickets for a chance to fire a puck from centre ice into a small target. That per- son was Howard Hall of Port Per- Howard turned one of the win- ning tickets over to Charlie Bour- geois. Howard missed the target by a wide margin on both his shots from centre, but Charlie, on his second try hit the bulls-eye to claim the $25 prize. Charlie sur- prised even himself with his shooting accuracy. Are you one of the 16,000 people who read the Port Perry Star each week? If not, you don't know what your missing!
