4-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 18, 1985 J ' Orono O.M.H.A. Novice take, a lose, a tie anda win The scores improved as the week went on for the novices. Millbrook visited on December .t11th and made it tbree out of three in the season series. The boys tried but Millbrook just has too mnany shooters. On Saturday December 14 Omemnee visited and skated with us to go home with a 0-0 tie. Orono had won the previous two games against Omemee and if they had brought the shooting sticks they could have taken this game too . But Omnemee played well enough to deserve a share of the points. The next day we headed nortb to Manivers. Orono kept pushing forward and were finally rewarded near the end ,of the period when Daryl Reid slipped one into the corner of the net. Drew Hansen dug the puck out of the corner and fired it across the net to Jeff Hughes whose shot rebounded to Daryl for thie goal..The second period saw some fast end toend play and some fine passes by the Jamie Shetier, Mark Foster and Aaron Staples line. We entered the third period still leading 1-0 and our good pressure was rewarded mid- way through with an in- surance goal. Manvers had the puck deep in our zone. It was shot up to Henry Kaldeway by Andrew Burton and Henry fired it across to Michael Landers in ful flight at our blue line. Michael went aIl the way and -beat the Manvers goalie with a hard wrist shot from about twenty- five feet out. Manvers kept trying and Chad Maartense had to make a big stop on a breakaway to preserve the shutout, his second of the weekend. He was capably assisted by Michael Dreslin- ski and Ben Deremo. Ben played a strong game in his first start on defense thîs year. Brandon Meadows and Paul Woods provided strong support on the wings. This was Pau's first start at right wing this year as he swtched with Ben.
