By Al Bailey With two games now played in the all-Ontario OHA Junior 'C' semi- final series between Port Perry and Stayner, the MoJacks have dug themselves into a hole. And they'll be hard-pressed to scramble out of it. The high-flying Siskins, with an 8-0 win Friday night at the Stayner Community Centre and a 7-5 victory Sunday night in the Scugog Arena, have taken a 2-0 lead in games in the best-of-seven series. For the Siskins, this series is go- ing much like their quarter-final match-up with the Orangeville Crushers, taking the first game rather handily, winning the second by a narrow margin, then sweeping the series in convincing fashion in four straight. On the other side of the coin the MoJacks had a relatively easy time winning their playoff games in the Central Ontario League and the quarter-finals against the Ernestown Jets, the Kingston area champs, in five ames. But the Siskins are another story. It's the best hockey club the Mo- Jacks have faced this season. It's an aggressive, rough and ready team. Like the MoJacks, which boasts the services of Clair Cornish, a former member of the Oshawa Generals, the Siskins have two players with Ontario Hockey League experience -- Steve Walker, their leading scorer, who played for the Owen Sound Platers, and Jason Spencer with the Ottawa 67s. And Thomas Brown, who saw Junior 'B' action with Lindsay Bears. Skunked During the first game of the series in Stayner, the MoJacks looked more like SadSacks, taking penalty after penalty. And the Siskins took full advantage, scoring seven ModJacks drop two games to Stayner Siskins power-play goals out of 14 tries. And they scored another goal while they were two men down. Captain Kelly Scudder and Sebas- tien Bronsard led the scoring attack with two goals apiece, with singles by Bill Bourley, Jason Spencer, Thomas Brown and Lou Bellwood. Stayner led 1-0 after the first period, but quickly got on the board again after only 37 seconds had been played in the second. Then Frank Kavanagh took a five- minute penalty for slashing and the Siskins capitalized with three quick goals while he sat in the box -- two on starting netminder Ian Cooper who hadn't seen action since the Lit- tle Britain series, and the other on Marc Dekker who came into the game at the 3:56 mark of the period. Dekker allowed three more goals before the second period ended. There was no scoring in the third. The shut-out was shared by the Siskins' goalies -- Kevin Crotty, who played the first two periods, and Kent McKenzie. Crotty was named most valuable player this season in the.Georgian Bay League and is touted as one of the best Junior 'C' goaltenders in the province. Close, But No Cigar Back home in Port Perry Sunday night the MoJacks came out firing. Their big gun, Clair Cornish, open- ed the scoring with a shot that hand- cuffed netminder Crotty. It was his 18th goal of the playoffs. And a cou- ple of minutes later, while on the power play, Mike Coulson quickly won the face-off in the Siskins' zone, and Cornish blasted it into the net for his 19th post-season marker. But the Siskins were not to be denied. After Killing off a two-man MoJacks' advantage, Steve Walker scored his first of three this night by : Turnto Page 30 Re/Max Novice team reach Schomberg tournament final On April 4 the Re/Max Novice hockey team travelled to the Schomberg Tournament tor tneir final non-league event of the year. Earlier this season they enjoyed tournaments in Keene and Ops, ex- hibition games against Millbrook and Woodville as well as a "'parent- son," thriller. The coaches hoped for a good effort from the team to end the season and they weren't disappointed! The first game was against the host Schomberg team and after a tied 1-1 first period our players turn- ed up their intensity resulting in a 4-1 victory. The key to this victory was good positional play and man- to-man coverage that held the op- position to less than five shots in total. This allowed goalie Carey Clyendert to get MVP honors on behalf of his defense and backcheckers. Bradford was our second oppo- nent and game MVP Trevor Weisflock led our forecheckers, backcheckers and defense in yet another strong effort for a 3-1 vic- tory. Once again our tight style of play held the opposition to very few good scoring chances. This victory sealed our teams first appearance in a championship game as we met the Elmvale Novice team. The score was tied at 1-1 after the first period but Elmvale scored a critical second period goal for a 2-1 lead. Strong goaltending stymied our own good scoring chances and the puck stopped "bouncing our way." In the third period our boys showed the loss of stamina resulting from not having had any 'games for two weeks and Elmvale put the game out of reach with several more goals to seal their victory. Beau Jolicoeur was named MVP for Re/Max in the champion- ship game. All in all the coaches and parents "were very proud of the teams best overall performance of the season. Beau Jolicoeur was asked to accept the runner-up trophy which will be presented to our generous sponsors. This was a somewhat sentimental moment for us all because of the tragic loss of Beau's dad, John, on- ly a short while ago. As recognition for their efforts at the tournament as well as during the season, the players were presented "position pins' to help remember the 1991-92 season. Players winning their pins in addition to those men- tioned above were centre Matthew Skerratt, left wingers Cory McQuade, Mike Milligan and Ryan nenoe, rignt wingers Gerald 'I'im- mers and Chris Medford and defencemen Sean Williams, Tim Jones, Joseph Farquharson and Matthew Cracknell. The team coaches would like to thank our sponsor, "Re/Max Real- ty," and the parents for their co- operation and assistance whenever requested. We hope that you find your sons are a little better hockey players and '"'men" than they were ast Oct. It has been fun, rewarding and a privilege for the coaches to have been part of this team. Good luck to those players moving on to "Atom" next season and to the re- maining players who will be the Novice "'veterans" next season.
