"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" --_-- i ------ PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, Oct. 25, 1994 - 19 Spr PORT PERRY STAR € Overhead Door Peewees busy The "Scugog Overhead Doors" Peewees had an extremely busy weekend, having three games in three days. The first game took place at home on Friday, Oct. 21 against a very smooth skating SH Nationals team. This team proved to be formidable opponents whose passing, skating and checking kept Port Perry from mounting any kind of attack at all and hence we were beaten by a sizeable margin. Our two goalies, Ryan Fraser and Chris Thompson did the best they could while under heavy fire. However, Saturday was another day and our Peewee 'B' team travelled to Little Britain to host a team from Orilliain an exhibition game. The two teams were a little more equal and the score seesawed back and forth through the game toendin a 4-all draw. Two of Orillia's four goals were on power plays as were two of Port Perry's goals. Kam Cooper was given the nod for best effort as he scored two goals. The first goal came on a great wrist shot just under the crossbar, on a pass from Matt MacMaster. Kam's second goal came when he tipped in a re- bound from a wrap-around attempt by Scott Brownson. Port's other two goals were scored by John Bacon. His first goal was scored when the puck was cleared into the offensive end by Murphy Irvine and Matt MacMaster beat the defence- man to the puck and passed it into the slot where John Bacon tipped it home. John's second goal came on a power play when Chris Jones passed the puck to John at the Orillia blue line and John took a low hard shot that beat the goalie on the stick side, Just catching the post. On Sunday, Oct. 23 our Peewee 'B' squad hosted the Oshawa Canadians. It was evident that a tough practice the night be- fore had paid off somewhat. Despite coming out on the losing end of a 4-2 score, coach Shawn Parker saw some improvement in moving the puck out of our own end. Oshawa led off the scoring in the first period on a power play goalmouth scramble. Our Peewees did not roll over though as both Scott Brownson and Russ Brown had good chances shortly after. Unfortunately, Oshawa scored another goal right at the end of the first period to go up 2-0. : At the start of the second, Oshawa again took advantage of a power play and pushed the score to 3-0. Port Perry kept the pressure on though and were rewarded with a goal. Joel Phoe- nix won a faceoff in the offensive end and Russ Brown passed the puck back to Chris Jones on the point who fired a low wrist shot past the goalie to bring us within two. The third period saw Port come out pressuring hard and John Bacon managed to tip in a rebound with assists going to David Justynski and Troy Hazelton. Oshawa went on to score another goal later on a 2-on-1 break and despite having several good chances late in the period, Port was unable to dent the mesh. The "best effort" for this game went to defenceman John Bur- nett. Port Perry "Overhead Doors" Peewee 'B's next home action will be on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. against Oshawa.

ORT The MoJacks traveled to Bowmanville Sun DAVID STELL/PORT PERRY STAR day night to take on the first place Eagles. The MoJacks held their own as the game was a 4-4 draw, before the Eagles scored in the third period to win the game. See story for details. Drop 5-4 decision ModJdacks lost close one against Bowmanville by David Stell Here we go again! An old ri- valry returned Sunday night when the Port Perry ModJacks travelled to Bowmanville. It was the MoJacks' first look at the Eagles this season, and the early season game turned out to be a classic between the two ri- vals. In their first game since last year's league finals, it was obvi- ous that these two teams still have respect for each other but a strong desire to win. The game was intense from start to finish, but the Eagles came out on top breaking a 4-4 tie in the third period to win 5-4. The game was as tight as the score suggests too. Both teams played a strong game, but in the end the MoJacks couldn't keep up with the Eagles on their home ice. In the first period, the inten- sity showed early with both teams playing solid end-to-end hockey. The two rival teams played a tight checking game that didn't allow for any clear chances to score until 13:47 of the period. The MoJacks' power play opened the scoring when Keith Leslie scored on a scram- ble in front of the Bowmanville net. The power play came when Paul Kelly of the MoJacks was checked into the boards from be- hind, by an overaggressive Ea- gle who earned a game miscon- uct on the play. Bowmanville waited until 16:02 to tie it up and score their first of the game. The intensity level was pushed up another level on the ice because of the goal. A minute later, Port Perry's Jason Cochrane and Bowman- ville's Jason Mosier decided to turn up the heat in the arena by dropping the gloves. Cochrane had the upper hand in the fight giving Mosier a number of punches to the head before the two fell to the ice and the lines- man broke it up. It was one of Cochrane's few appearances for the MoJacks this season. The fight earned Cochrane a game misconduct for fighting that turned the game into a short one for him. The second period offered the most excitement in the game Right from the first faceoff of the period the two teams contin- ued their full speed pace. Under pressure from the Eagles, two ModJdacks earned pénalties, with only one Eagle joining them in the penalty box. The power play turned into trouble for the Eagles though when Leslie scored his second goal of the game, on a strong ef- fort by Scott Heasman. Heas- man couldn't get a shot on the net, but made a nice spin around pass to the front of the net. He set up Leslie who had parked in front of Bowmanville goalie, Barry Crawford. Leslie showed quick hands in flipping the puck over Crawford who hadn't seen the pass. The short- handed goal was his second goal of the game and it gave the Mo- Jacks a 2-1lead. GAVIN COCHRANE The lead was a short-lived one though and the Eagles came back with a vengeance. They scored three unanswered goals, with one on a power play, for a 4-2 lead. The MoJacks could have become discouraged, trailing by two goals near the end of the second period, but fcught back for their third goal of the night with only two min- utes left in the period. Ryan Ridgway carried the puck to the front of the Bow- manville net, covered by two Eagles, and still managed to shove a one-handed effort to- wards Crawford that slid through the crease. The Eagles played the puck towards the ModJacks' end of the ice, but Les- lie stole the puck and just missed scoring his third goal on a break-away when he shot high over Crawford. Seconds later the puck came back to the point and Jeremy Ross let a shot go that found the corner of the net, making it 4-3. The Eagles didn't learn from their mistake though and gave up another break-away with only 10 seconds left in the sec- ond period. Todd Stirling of the ModJacks took a pass from Mike Pigeau and Duane Empring- ham, that left him with a clear path to the other end of the ice. He made no mistake and wrist- ed a shot over Crawford that tied the score at 4-4 to end the period. Unfortunately, the MoJacks' bag of tricks came up empty in the third period. The Eagles didn't allow any quality shots to the Port Perry snipers and shut them out in the final period. The eagles top scorer, Gary Arm- strong, scored the winner for Bowmanville at 10:45 of the pe- riod. Port Perry had been fore- checking in the Eagles' end but when two ModJacks tumbled into each other the Eagles found themselves with a five- on-three which they used to make the score 6-4. The Eagles settled into a defensive shell the rest of the way. They cut off eve- ry MoJack attempt to tie the game, even when Port Perry pulled their goalie for an extra attacker. Even though they lost the game, Gavin Cochrane, the Mo- Jacks' captain, still thought they played well. He doesn't think the team will have much of a problem with the first two teams they face next weekend when the MoJacks play three games in three nights. "We should be able to handle them," Cochrane said. "And it we play like we did tonight, we'll smoke 'em!" Leslie had a strong game for the MoJacks, scoring two goals. He's looking forward to the next time he plays the Eagles. "It, be different when we get them in our rink next Sunday," he said. Bowmanville had a large crowd of over 700 people in the Turnto Page 22
