a 26- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 25, 1997 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" SPORTS 1997's Miracle on Ice Port Juniors play penalty-free game Last week brought about the most dramatic turn-around in Port Perry Juveniles' hockey that has ever been recorded. The first event took place on Monday as Port dropped in on Manvers for a game and walked out 5-3 victors. The best part of the game was the fact that the local boys played the entire game and only took four minor penalities to three for Manvers and, during one of them, scored two short- handed goals. Only 26 seconds into the game, Mike Lott opened the scoring with Matt Phillips and Joe Jackson helping out. In the second, Ian Shrigley got in on the action with assists to Kevin Hobbs and Kevin Gray. Hobbs decided it was his turn, unassisted at 7:22 of the third, and then Matt Phillips did the same 20 seconds later. Ports' final goal came from a big rush from Joe Jackson, after coming from the penalty box, with Jamie Levon assist- ing. Special mention goes to Corey Branton from the Midgets, who filled in between the pipes and did an excellent job. The defense is also to be men- tioned as they played very strong again, clearing the strong Manvers forwards. Then, on Wednesday at home, it was almost like the "Miracle of Christmas". Many par- ents were in attendance to bear witness, probably hearing of our game on Monday, and they were treated to something that probably never has been witnessed in the history of Port Perry Juveniles (at least that's what they said). A penalty free game! Believe it or not, the Port Perry Juveniles played Uxbridge who thumped us 9-2 last week to a 2-2 draw, and neither team took a penalty. Unbelievable! This was by far the best game of hockey the boys have played this year. It saw the return of the injured Mike Phoenix in goal and he was back in fine form. We also had four new players join us: Brad Strickert, Trevor Smith, Adam Hunter and Carl Phoenix. Once they get their legs, they will be a valuable asset to the squad. Ports' first goal came one minute into the sec- ond on an unassisted shot from Jamie Levon. Then Mike Lott was set up by Jamie on a great pass to tie the game late in the third. This team has come a long way in the last two months, and it seems as though they are starting to settle down in prepa- ration for the play-offs, which are only a couple of months away. This is becoming very exciting hockey. Why not drop out and watch these guys, sponsored by Mike's Food Basics, who are 3- 1-1 for the regular season. Next game, Wednesday (tomorrow) at 9:20.

Thursday night's encounter with the Georgina Ice was one the MoJacks would just as soon forget. Actually, things got off to a fairly decent start in this one as they took a 2- 1 lead into the middle period on goals by vanSchagen and Grey. But a couple of quick goals just past the mid-point gave the visitors a 3-2 lead and really seemed to take the starch out of the MoJacks in the process. But to their credit, it was a different ModJack team that showed up to take on the Bullets Sunday night, a team that has won two of the previous three encoun- ters. Coach Menzies said he was encouraged by the fact the team bounced back after the loss to Georgina. And he said it was nice to "win one of the close ones for a change. We've lost a lot of close games lately (during the nine game winless stretch) And that has been tough on the guys." Several of the MoJacks came up with gritty efforts Sunday night, including Seth Grey. He scored a real beauty late in the first period, taking the puck coast to coast on the power play. He also went heavily in the boards and had to leave the arena for Port Perry Hospital after complaining of severe pain in the stom- ach. But after getting a clean bill of health, Grey returned to action in the third period. He must have been in a nasty "mood for he soon got into a pretty good scrap with Greg Lynch with both players throwing a series of punches. Defenseman Mike Heasman, in his rookie year, had perhaps his best game in a MoJack sweater, handing out some heavy hits. He stopped a partial break- away but wound up sliding awkwardly 'behind the Mackey & Bailey ModJack net and slammed into the boards. He had to leave the game and did not see action in the third period. And older brother Scott, team captain in his fourth year with the MoJacks, was really throwing his weight around, making the Bullets pay a heavy price price along the boards. Perhaps the hardest check this season came in the second period as he levelled Roddy Brown into the boards with a clean shoulder hit in front of the penalty box, sending a wobbly Brown to the bench and eventu- ally to the dressing room. SLAPSHOTS: It was not a good week- end for the Bullets as they lost three games in a row. Little Britain Merchants continued their winning ways with a victory over Uxbridge. With three goaltenders on the roster, coach Menzies said a decision will even- tually have to be made to reduce that number to two. "We have not made a decision yet. We'll carry three (goalies) for the time being, but a decision (to drop one) will be made," he said after Sunday's game. With 21. games left in the schedule, Menzies is up-beat about the team's chances of qualifying for post-season action. The top four teams in the league get into the playoffs. A couple of victories this coming week- end would go a long way in boosting the team's chances and restoring balance to any fragile states of mind as the MoJacks have a home and home series with the Lakefield Chiefs, a team that has given them all kinds of trouble this year. Chiefs won 4-2 at the Scugog Arena Oct. 5, then trounced them 13-2 in Lakefield two weeks later. The weekend series opens in Lakefield Saturday night and resumes at the Scugog Arena Sunday night (Nov. 30) with faceoff at 7 p.m. Barristers & Solicitors Saturday Momings 9:00am to 12:00 noon Lake Scugog Lumber Building Oshawa Rd., Port Perry 985-7391 Brian Norrish Home: 905-985-8997 Mobile: 905-433-7351 21 yrs.
