Although they have played only three games so far, it is clear that this talented team is one to be reckoned with over the next few months as they get more experience. Ajax has quickly become the Bowmanville nemesis despite their appearance - there's always something ominous about large players dressed in black. This fastskating, fastskating, hard-hitting team is a good match for Deluxe Taxi. Their first encounter November 15, was served as a practice run in a penalty-ridden, hard- checking encounter that saw Ajax dominate too many aspects of the game, controlling not only the boards but dangerously the slot area as well. As a result, Ajax counted for five, leaving room for only two, Bowmanville tallies, both by Mike Annis - one assisted by Shaun Carlton and Dave Poirier, the other unassisted. After 49 minutes of combined penalties, it was back to the drawing board for a new game plan. Bolstered by a few practices but missing several players, only two full lines took to the ice on November 29 ready to gain revenge against Ajax. Unfortunately, Ajax went on the attack so quickly that the timekeeper and the goalie were caught off guard as Ajax scored before the clock was started, signalling the style of hockey fans were about to see wide open action. Bowmanville's defence closed the gates as its two line offence went into action, pummeling the Ajax goalie. Grabbing ownership of the boards, Sean Powers directed a pass to Dave Poirier at 4:56 who drove one in to tie the game. Unable to sustain their organized drive with only two lines, Deluxe Taxi slipped into periods of sloppiness around their own net and their failure to clear the puck put them into a pit 5-1. Dave Poirier (assists Sean Power, Andrew Rice) struck for one more to end the game 5-2. Congratulations to the boys for an exciting game of hockey. The event was a definite mismatch as Deluxe Taxi attempted to skate with Agincourt December 6, resulting in a lop-sided battle and a final score of 6-1 for Agincourt. Showing flashes of brilliance demonstrated in their last encounter with Ajax, Bowmanville threatened from time to time but were unable - tor maintain; the , pace against ttitt faster skating, ; harder- hming major team.
