Ati «Î LESS BASH, MORE SKILL -- Quite soon, we hope some of the teams in junior hockey leagues especially, will smarten up and stick to hockey instead of trying to outgoon their opposition. A minority of fans may enjoy such antics, but most of us would rather see more good stick handling, sharp and accurate passing plays and good scoring techniques around the nets. Solid body checking is part of the game, but high sticks, spearing, fighting and wood chopping turn many people off. The officials certainly have the power to keep the game under control, if they will use it, instead of looking the other way.

On Thursday, Nov. 28 the Flying Dutchman Atoms travelled to Pickering to play Pickering Village. The game got off to a slow start, without any scoring in the first period. The Toros got into the swing of things at the end of the second period when Chad Armstrong scored from Chad Vanderende and Tyler Stokes. Just over a minute later Ryan Stewart made it 2-0 with assists going to Chad Vanderende and David Szabo. Tyler Stokes got a short-handed goal half way through the third period to make it 3-0 for the Toros. His goal was assisted by Mark Breckenridge and Chad Armstrong. Time was running out for Pickering to break the Toro shutout but they managed to put one in with 15 seconds left in the game. On Nov. 30 the team was Northward bound to the Parry Sound tournament. The boys met their billets at the arena that evening and went their separate ways while the parents went to their motel to reminisce about winning the same tournament last year. The Toros met Port Elgin in their first game on Saturday morning. Bowmanville scored early in the first period on a goal by Marty Burgess, unassisted, but Port Elgin came back to tie it up with one minute left in the first period. The second period saw plenty to chant about. Port Elgin went ahead with 3 minutes left in the second period only to have the Toros tie it up with just over a minute left in the period. Steven DeSmedt got a power play goal when he let a blistering shot away to go in the far side of the net. It was nice to see Steven back in the action again. His goal was assisted by Richard Bateman and Chad Armstrong. Port Elgin took the lead again in the third period with an unassisted goal, but the Toros fought back and tied the game again with three minutes left in the game. This time Joel Crombie scored from the blue line with David Szabo getting the assist. Joel's goal took the game into overtime which brought back memories of the same tournament last year when every game was so close. The two teams took to the ice without any goaltenders, each playing very cautiously. Port Elgin came out victorious when they made a shot count St. Marys Midgets Capture 'B' Crown Another tense, down to the wire hockey match saw the Major Midget Toros bring home the "B" championship from Napanee. Brockville was the capable opposition that forced the St. Marys boys to the "B" side with a 3-2 victory. Bowmanville notched the first two off the sticks of Glen Campbell and Scott Page. Mike Gallant and Kelly Balson supplied the assists on Scott's goal. The Brockvillè boys scored once in the first and twice in the second to record the win. The second game saw Cobourg as the opposition, a team we didn't expect to see again until playoff time. The green shirts supplied the necessary opposition and the Toros charged to a 8-2 victory. Mark Hickey led the way with 'two goals and two assists. George Pithie also scored twice, with other goals going to David Fairey, Mike Gallant, Larry Perris and Kelly Balson. Oshawa's Little . N.H.L. Minor Red Wings were the last opposition. Larry Perris put the St. Marys Cement boys on the score board first with a blast from the point on a pass from Mark Hickey and Glen Campbell. After Oshawa notched one, Scott Page and Glen Campbell made it three to one with Larry Perris, Kelly Balson and Shawn Rekker getting the assists. Oshawa tallies twice in the third to tie it at three and force overtime which also resulted in a deadlock. A five player shoot-out followed with Bow- out followed with Bow- ( Bowmanville Toros wish to invite you to their Christmas Classic '«nviile Dec. 26 r Darlington Arena Dec. 27 - Darlington and Bowmanville Arenas Dec. 28 - Darlington and Bowmanville Arenas Dec. 29 - Darlington Arena We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the following merchants for sponsoring ice time and therefore making this event possible! • Flying Dutchman Hotel « ■ Bowmanville Audio Vision ■ • Bowmanville Jaycees ,î Bowmanville Kinsmen "• Lions Club of Bowmanville © Pltch-ln and Keep Canada Beautiful Skinner Insurance Legion Branch 178 Canadian Tire Rogers Cable TV Bay SportsPickering THANK YOU TIRE SALES INC. 676-1220 TRISUN All SEASON gjfoFAvK , from inside the blue line just 36 seconds into the overtime period. Our second game was played against a pretty strong Brace- bridge team. Bracebridge scored the only goal of the first period much to our dismay, as Mark Breckenridge and his fellow defensemen played a strong period. Marty Burgess came back in second period to tie it up. His goal was unassisted. unassisted. Bracebridge came back and took the lead two minutes later. The third period saw end to end action with Bracebridge getting pretty physical. David Real was helped off the ice early in the period and later Steven DeSmedt went off with an injury. Our goaltender was pulled in hopes of getting a tie, but it just wasn't meant to be. The boys had to go back to the drawing board after losing another game by one goal, and the parents had to go back to their motel to stock up on their throat lozenges. If manager Andy Maddock had been at the tournament, I'm sure by-this time he would have swallowed a couple of stir sticks. Game three Sunday morning against Collingwood was more than anyone could have predicted. The Collingwood team was out for revenge since our boys had defeated them in last year's Bobby Orr Tournament. Tournament. Things got off to a bad start for the Flying Dutchman Atoms as Collingwood took a first period lead one to zip. The game turned in the Toros' favour when our hard working winger Chad Armstrong Armstrong muscled his way down the boards into the Collingwood end zone, took control of the play, then smoothly passed it across to Tyler Stokes who'd been waiting all season for an opportunity like this; well, he wasn't to be disappointed, from his position in the slot he whistled a nice sharp wrist shot over the goalminder's shoulder into the corner of the net. The game wasn't tied up very long before Steven DeSmedt did what he does so well; Steven, who never stops working, rushed an opposing defenceman just as he was about to let loose with a shot from the point, the deflection off of Stevens pads sent him on his way down the ice with a gang of Collingwood players chasing him; but it was all in vain, as Steve shifted from side to side and then fired a nice shot past the goalie to take a 2-1 lead. The third period saw plenty of action with exciting rushes and shots by both teams; just as the Toros felt they had the game in the bag and with only two minutes left in the game Collingwood evened the score at two, sending the game into overtime. The fourth period of Sudden Cheers and Tears, was not your normal 30 second, 1 shot game winner. This period of hockey seemed to go on forever. The excitement was almost unbearable for the kids and in particular tj>c fans, most of whom had been out the evening before enjoying some of the night life in Parry Hoot and weren't really prepared for this sort of morning. With the goalies removed from the game, the skaters went at it, back and forth, from end to end, shot after shot, with spectacular saves by most every player on the team; players, who by now were worn to a frazzle. Then finally after 7 minutes and 35 seconds of overtime play, Steve DeSmidt slipped a pass to Chad Armstrong who broke across the Collingwood blue line, took aim and fired a great shot in the direction of the net, past the knees of one defending player and under the sprauling legs of another to end the game. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, no one video taped this game so we'll just have to rely on our memories. Sorry folks - to be continued. "Falcons Stun Royal View" Dec. 15 was a day of upsets in the Sunday Morning Commercial Commercial Non Contact Hockey League. In the first contest the League Leading Royal View Glass squad suffered their first defeat of the season, a 7 - 4 set-back, at the hands of the high flying Falcons. The "Boys in Blue" minus three regulars, including leading scorer Paul Leslie, due to suspensions, were no match for the Falcons who jumped into a 5 - 0 lead. The Royal View team roared back to make it 6 - 4 in the third period but George Connor's second goal of the game from Paul Sobil and Jim Gamble with 5:29 to play gapped a fine team effort by the "Green Birds." Mike Byrnes paced the winners with a goal and four assists while line-mate Grant Reid chipped in with two markers and an assist. Jamie Perfect, the third member of this high scoring trio added a goal and two assists. George Connors, who played a fine two-way game, had an assist to go with his two goals while Paul Sobil had the other Falcon goal, along with two assists.

Thursday, it was goal night at the Civic as the Midget Toros played a return engagement with Oshawa's AAA Kiwanis Midgets. Due to illness, injury and work the St. Marys boys were reduced to two lines against the fast skating neighbours and gave way to a 13-3 score. George Pithie, Mark Hickey and Shawn Rekker counted for the Bowmanville crew. Pyramid Points The Bowmanville boys have only had 26 minutes in penalties in the last four games which indicates what can happen when you go out to play hockey. This week we would like to feature two very reliable and capable defensemen, Bob McArthur (4) and Shawn Rekker (5). Bob has been on the All-Star scene for many years, as well as being a member of many summer hockey teams, including a triple A squad out of Woodville this past summer. Bob is an outstanding outstanding skater with an excellent shot from the point. The young Mr. McArthur was a capable leader of the Minor Midgets enroule to the finals last season. Bob has 7 goals and 9 assists. Shawn Rekker took a break from the All-Star ranks last year with a year in Recreation and caçne back rejuvenated. He has been a standout in puck . control this year with 12 goals and 21 assists for 33 points. These two gentlemen usually anchor our power play. This week sees Monday night at Darlington versus the Toronto Devils, Wednesday hosting Whitby, and Friday in Stouffville as our second last league game.
