20- PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, October 11, 1995 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Sr S(O) LYM & OI CIES Y DAVE ORTS Port Perry Atom One team Malmont Farms came out of the gate strong on Sunday taking it to the Oakridge team 6-2. It was all Oakridge could do to get a shot on net in the first half of the game. Tre- vor Lance opened the scor- ing on a nifty pass from Kevin Robins. Minutes later Mark Duncan found « the twine with assists go- ing to Spencer Churchill and Justin Moffat. Again just minutes later Justin found the net with Jeff Tarbotton drawing an as- sist. Port Perry's fourth goal was a dandy by Trevor with assists going to Ste- vie Macl.ennan and Dylan Harper. Patrolling the wings with authority were Geoff Simpson and Pat Lewis. The fifth and sixth Malmont Farm goals were both scored by Jeff Tarbot- ton, assisting on both goals was Trevor with sin- gles going to Derek Bond and Kevin. Game Two Port Perry came up against a strong Parry Sound squad coming out on the shortend ofa 7-5 score. Scoring Malmont's first goal was Justin with assists going to Kevin and Jeff. Port Perry's second goal was scored by Trevor on a blistering shot with assists credited to Mike Thompson and Spencer. Techstar Bantam action Jamie Smith made some nice defensive plays to foil the Parry Sound team to keep the score close. Mark scored Port's third goal assisted by Spencer and Trevor. Trevor scored his second goal of the game assisted by Kevin and Mike. This closed out the scoring for Malmont Farms. Look out Parry Sound at the next tournament. Game Three The action couldn't get any better, the air was thick with tension as Port Perry lost the "B" final in double overtime by the score of 5-4 to Orangeville. Trevor was a one man wrecking machine scoring three straight goals all on bullet shots. The first goal was assisted by mark and the second by Kevin and Jeff. This game saw end to end rushes by both teams who were equally matched. Orangeville took a 4-3 lead only to see Kevin tie the game with helpers go- ing to Jeff and Mike. Overtime saw both teams deserve to win with excellent chances only to be stymied by the goalie. Atoms put in good showing at tourney Orangeville came out on top in the end on a dandy shot that just caught 1n- side the post on the short side. Malmont Farms can hold their heads high on three great games that kept the fans riveted to their seats. Goaltenders Scott Hon- ey and Mark Lott both played strong games when called upon. Both these goalies and all the players have shown they have what it takes to have a great year and a lot of fun. Keep up the good work guys. On Thursday, Oct. 5 the Techstar Bantams rolled into Oshawa to play the Little N.H.L. Blackhawks. This being their first league game made the Stars hungry for a win. But that didn't show at first. The Blackhawks opened the scoring in the first period with two con- secutive goals, but with 10 minutes left 1n the second period, Port took the lead after Greg Bruton picked up two of his three goals and Ryan Hawkins another. But Port's lead vanished quickly and by the start of the third period they were once again down by one. : In the third period Oshawa just didn't have the legs to keep up with Port, after the Stars went through one of Mr. Ferguson skating practice the night before. The Stars went on to score two goals by Greg Bruton and Scott Sanderson to win the game. Assists came from Shawn Knatko (two), Tyler Wootton and Brad Monsma one each. Corey Branton had a great game between the pipes and Travis Pickard worked hard backchecking. held the following night in Uxbridge at 6:30 p.m. Uxbridge using the same team that they used last year to win an All Ontario Championship was in peak form as they blew out the Stars 10-4. However, there were some promising plays as in exhibition play the previous week the score was 12-2. Port Perry goals came from Shawn Knatko, Brad Monsma, Tyler Wootton and Ryan Hawkins. Assists go to Tyler Keeler (three), Ryan Hawkins and Brad Mon- sma (two), and Scott Sanderson and Ryan Moynes each picked one up. The addition of Shawn Hnatko and Greg Bruton proves to be a great asset as they combined for four goals and three assists. The coaching staff of Dave Jamieson, Dunc Ferguson, Dave Bentley and Frank Baxter will have their work cut out for them as only two of last year's All Ontario team is back to join them. The next home game is on Wednes- day at 7:30 p.m. Come out and cheer on the team. The Port Perry MoJacks dropped a 5- regular season play on the weekend. opener, looked slow in this contest. PI The Stars second league game was game. WALLY DONALDSON/PORT PERRY STAR 1 decision to the Uxbridge Bruins in The MoJacks, who won their season ease see story for more details on the ModJacks look slow in loss to Bruins By Wally Donaldson Special to the Star UXBRIDGE - Curling skips use a stop watch to determine the quickness of their ice as team members deliver rocks fromthe hack to the rings. Chic Carnegie, with a watch hanging from his neck, won- dered if his charges were skat- ingon rocks - notice! Showcasing very little speed throughout the drawn-out Cen- tral Ontario Junior C Hockey League contest, the Port Perry Modacks dropped a 5-1 decision to the hometown Uxbridge Bruins last Friday - a night of the week the MoJacks have ex- perienced very little success against the slick Bruins. "I'think we haven't won a game here on a Friday night since the day I came (to the MoJacks)," said Carnegie, who heads up the Port Perry squad that opened the campaign with a 6-5 win over Georgina Ice a week ago at Scugog Arena. Bruins bettered their unblemished record to three wins. "We were flat. They simply outskated us. At times, 1 thought we were skating on gravel. We were that slow. We'll definitely try to improve on that inour next practice." Reasons for Modacks' lethar- gy and inability to execute, es- pecially in the neutral ice area, on this might were plentiful, stemming from a sluggish start and lack of coordination during early extra-man situations to their heavy emphasison gather- ing foolish penalty minutes. Carnegie was, needless to say, not impressed. "Uxbridge made us look like fools. They suckered%is in con- tinuously. [ mean, they were no saints out there. But they sure knew when to give us the butt end and jab and we retaliated all of the time. The referee was bound to see the retaliation," commented Carnegie. The Bruins' most devastating offense was in the form of the powerplay, especially in the waning seconds of the second period when Loughery Graham beat Port Perry netminder Paul Roberts twice in a 22-second span, launching Uxbridge to a 4-0 margin entering the final 20 minutes. The outcome negated a spirit- ed effort by Roberts, who dis. played a crisp glove hand and lightning reflexes while per- forming the splits on many of the 40 shots he faced. Certainly a promising outlook for a 20- year-old puckstopper who hadn't competed on a regular basis since competing on a high school level with the Donevan Blue Devils in Oshawa two years ago. 'I felt I was at the top of my game. Unfortunately, you get those bad bounces," said Rob- erts who feasted on a special challenge to earn a spot on the roster, especially with 18 goal- tenders at one point attending training camp. "I knew there was competition with 18 goalies there. I thought "This is going to be fun. Tt worked out for me and it's great." Matt Muir and Graham each fired two goals for the Bruins with Derek Anderson, formerly with the Bowmanville Eagles, notching the first goal of the game. Todd Denms was the only Mo- Jack sniper to beat former Ea- gles' netminder Barry Crawford in the third period, converting an excellent feed from Steve Barkwell and snapping his shot home. | Crawford's appearance in an Uxbridge uniform comes as a surprise. Drafted two years ago by the Ontario Hockey League's (OHI) Peterborough Petes, his crafty netminding exploits car- ricd Bowmanville to the Onta- rio Junior C final last year be- fore dropping four straight to the Belle River Canadiens. He had no designs on playing hockey this year in Bowman- ville or anywhere else until an arrangement was made with the Bruins. "I had nointerest in playing this year. Bowmanville puts a lot of pressure on you up there. A lot of my frustrations were caused away from the ice, not on it. . at got so competitive. There's pressure here, but it's not the same. I'menjoyingit" MoJacks are back in action Friday might in Lakefield and they entertain [attle Britain Merchants Sunday evening at Scugog Arena. Game time 1s 7 o'clock.
