RE -- 32 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tue sday, January 11,1994 \ N The Port Perry IGA Juniors travelled to Oshawa Thursday night for their last league game. This game was to be a preview for the tournament Friday night, also against Oshawa. Despite the blustery weather conditions, everyone managed to make it in plenty of time. In a tight checking game, it was Port who came out the victors with a 5-2 margin. Scoring for Port were Shona Moase with a hat trick, Natasha Burgess and Linda Payne with singles. As- sists went to Lisa Bonser, Jen- ny Pashley, Cara Vander Slagt and Dana Hooker. Oshawa managed the tough Friday night weather to open the Junior Division. Oshawa came out skating and the inten- sity was at a peak from the opening whistle. Not to be out- done, Port elevated their play - and carried the game to visi- tors. Near the end of the first period, Port took the lead on an unassisted goal by Lisa. The game went end-to-end in this fast paced affair. With just over two minutes remaining, Shona gave Port a cushion with a goal that Lisa set up. With the goalie out of the Oshawa net, Lisa sent the ring up to Cara for the emp- ty netter and a 3-0 win. Getting a well deserved shutout was Ka- tie Senyk who stoned Oshawa on numerous occasions. Con- grats! : Kingston was the opponent for game two. Having lost to 'this team late in the game in the Nepean tournament, the IGA girls knew it would be a close game. Port took the lead five minutes into the game on an unassisted goal by Shona. The game was evenly played with both goalies making many excellent saves. Kingston tied the score in the first minutes of the second period. Linda gave the hosts a lead with nine min- utes left. Three minutes later, the score was tied again and the SR nailbiter continued to the end as the game ended in a 2-2 draw. The third team the [GA team played was Niagara Falls. The game was delayed an hour as a Tween game missed due to weather conditions was com- pleted. Niagara jumped out to a quick two-goal lead in the first two minutes but Port respond- ed to even the game before the end of the first period. In what turned into a chess match, Ni- agara took the lead again be- fore the score was knotted at threes. Again Niagara took the lead and it'was time for the dra- matics. Looking for the tying goal, Katie was on the bench for the extra attacker. Heather Tredway, playing her best rin- gette of the year, intercepted a clearing pass and drilled a wrist shot into the lower left hand corner to give Port an un- defeated round robin. Other scorers for Port were Lisa, Cara and Dana, with assists going to Heather Tredway (two) and Dana. This did not guarantee entry into the final. In a complicated tie-breaker, there was the pos- sibility that Port would be out if Niagara and Kingston tied with 4-4 or higher. A late Kingston penalty resulted in a Niagara goal and a 4-3 win that ad- vanced Port into the final for a rematch with Niagara. The start to the final match was not pretty. Five penalties in the first four minutes gave Niagara a very quick 3-0 lead. Was there to be a comeback? Not possible as three more pen- alties were assessed before the end of the period. In between penalties, Shona gave the home team a pair of goals. The first period had Niagara with the same three-goal lead and the score 5-2. The score went to 6-2 on yet another penalty and frustra- REMOTE CAR STARTER FOR THOSE COLD WINTER DAYS! Start & warm your car from the comfort of your home!

Juveniles represent Port Perry well by Paul Wylie Every year Sarnia and Mooretown host one of the most prestigious hockey tourna- ments known throughout the hockey world. The chance to participate is decided through qualifying tournaments and with past year performances. This year teams from the Unit- ed States, Quebec, and the Mar- itimes participated in a joint Midget-Juvenile Tournament. 9 Prices Starting From SA199. 00 8 UP! PICKERING 1050 Brock Rd. S. (Exit Brock Rd., go 1/4 mile south) (905) 839-8771 Port Perry was represented by our Key-Bar Juveniles; who were put into a division where they would be playing against some of the top teams through- out Ontario. Friday night Port was up against Bowmanville's number one Juvenile squad. Both teams had their lineups announced prior to the start of the game. Perhaps caught upin the excite- ment and slightly intimidated by the, opposition, Port saw Bowmanville notch two in the first shift alone. By the end of the first period, Port was down 3-0. For a change, all games were refereed by two linesmen and an official OMHA referee. However, these refs were unac- customed to this level of hockey. The refs were continuously be- hind the play or at least out of position. Port had three goals called back or simply missed because the referee was not on his game; refusing to discuss the calls with hislinesman. In the ensuing arguments Ennis (game misconduct) and Vanderligt (gross) were ejected from the game. Near the end of the second Bowmanville in- creased their lead to 5-0. Finally Port gave up on play- ing against the refs and started to play against Bowmanville. With some offensive pressure by Fitzgerald, Wylie picked up the pass and took a quick shot. The goalie gave up a big re- bound which Lindsay Parry buried for Port's first. Minutes later, Card passed to MacArthur who fed Ennis. John redirected it along the ice into the far corner, starting Port's comeback. The third period saw both teams check tightly and result- ed in both teams scoring once more. Port's third was by Sean McEnaney, assisted by Card. Time ran out and Port lost 6-3, but because the tournament was set up using a points-per- period system Port still walked away with a handful of points and a slim chance to still make it to the finals if they could win the rest of the games and if Bow- manville loses most of the peri- ods (in future games). On Saturday Port played Bar- rie which was recognized as the biggest team in the tourna- ment. Missing a couple of players, Port had to go with only two lines and two sets of de- fence. This game saw different offi- ciating - some refs who let the boys play hockey at the Juve- nile level. The ref still main- tained control of the game, and called penalties when it was truly deserved. Port came out flying! There was some awesome hitting by both teams, but Port was put- ting on a clinic. The tide had turned and now Barrie was coughing up the puck in fear of being hit. Port capitalized on this with some spectacular fore- checking. With McEnaney picking up the assist, Scott Wylie opened the scoring by one-timing a loose puck. On the following shift, Port moved ahead 2-0 when Ridg- way kept control of the puck un- til he crossed the blue line be- fore feeding McEnancy who was racing for the net. He received the pass and in the same mo- tion, fired it upstairs, past the goalie. In the second period, Port scored again. This time on a 2- on-1, Ridgway walked around their defence, and sent the puck towards the net. Again, McEna- ney picked up the rebound and put in past the helpless goalie. Port's next goal saw some nifty moves from McEnaney who walked around the defence and then the goalie, finishing off his hat trick! Barrie managed to score shortly after this but Port an- swered back with Card taking on three defenders. Rather than attempt to skate around them he fired a low bullet at the net which handcuffed the goalie. Garvock and MacArthur assist- ed on Port's fifth goal. The game ended 5-2 with Port getting nine points out of a pos- --~-- * JCC i Sa a EE haan a ea --_--_--------------W Ma
