The Bowmanville Canadian Tire Peewee Toros are experiencing experiencing a new challenge. Port Perry hosted one of the wildest, roughest, and altogether worst games in a long time. It was a collage of roughness mixed with penalties. penalties. It's not that the Toros weren't having a good game, it was a variety of different things. The referees were calling a lot of penalties that everyone considered to be "cheap." This frustrated the fans, coaches, and, most of nil, the players. The final score was a 6-6 draw. Goals went to: Mike De- Blois, Luke Akoy, Rob Harness, Harness, Pete Schoep, Greg McMurter, and Brad Ormis- ton. Assists wont to Rob Harness, Ryan Dunnigan, Andrew Ferguson, Pete Schoep, and Luke Akey. Bowmanville will play in Port Pony tonight at 7:45 shnri inrp.

Pete Schoep set the puck back to the point with 35 seconds to go. Dave Watt moved in for the shot, and bang, the puck was whipped into the net with 31 seconds to go.

As the of the period came, we were all wondering the same thing. Could the all-mighty Toros hang in until the end of the third period? The last period went a little little like this. The guys stepped out on the ice with renewed energy like the tempered bulls they represent. Andrew Ferguson flies around behind the net and slides it in for a 5-1 lead.

Coach Benched Following Fight After 18 years in minor hockey, a Bowmanville coach has put his future behind behind the bench in jeopardy. During a bantam hockey game in Stouffville last week, the coach, who wished to remain nameless, pulled his team off the ice and refused refused to re-start the game. ' He must now wait until as late as February before he gets a chance to plead his case in front of the OMHA board. Last season, three coaches coaches from various centres in the province received suspensions suspensions for the balance of the year for doing the same thing. The incident that trig- f ered the coach to remove is team occurred when a Stouffville player knocked a Bowmanville goalie down following a shot from the point. A free-for-all started, with all ten players on the ice squaring off. "It got pretty ugly, and one of their kids went down to the ice with no helmet or mask on," recalled the coach. "You could hear the crack of his head hitting the ice all over." As the player lay unconscious unconscious in a pool of blood on the ice, the coach brought his team to the bench and tried to calm them down. As the fans became unruly, unruly, he felt it would be best if he got his team to the dressing dressing room to let things cool down. "As we made our way through the aisle to get to the dressing room, the teenage teenage fans were spitting and throwing pop on the kids. It was scary at that point." "I had no intention of going going home, but after reevaluating reevaluating ' the situation, and talking it over with, Paul (Robinson) and some of the parents, we decided it was a very dangerous situation. situation. Nobody had control of the game at this stage, so I decided that was it." The police were called to the arena to escort the Toros out. Since the game, the coach was notified that he could . ask for a meeting with the OMHA to explain his actions. actions. He has done so in a four-page letter outlining what happened. "I told them in the letter that after all of my years in hockey, I think I can read a game well, and that one was out of hand." When asked if he had any second thoughts about his decision, the coach stood firmly behind his actions. "I have none whatsoever," whatsoever," he said. "I would do it in a minute again." "I would never take a kid back into that situation." One of the Bowmanville players involved in the fight was slapped with a three- game suspension. It has taken this Bowmanville Bowmanville team five years to be victorious over a tough Cobourg squad but if finally happened. Several of the Toros have suited up together since atom and have never come out on top against Cobourg. Bowmanville 3 Cobourg 2 For the first time in this short season, the Halminen Bantams iced more than just 11 skaters, the reason being most of the injured have returned to the line-up. Cobourg drew first blood at the 7:32 mark of period one. Back-to-back goals by Derek Smith in the second period put the Toros in the lead. Tne first goal came at the 28 second mark with Jamie Jamie Brake and newcomer Brandon Ovenden assisting. At 14:23, Smith struck again with Sean Brown and Jason Hoffmann picking up the assists. Cobourg pressured Chris McCarthy time and time again. At 9:58 of the third, Cobourg Cobourg tied the game and our hopes of victory once again faded. With the Toros two men shorthanded, Cobourg were now in the position to take control. Our penalty-killing and consistent strong goaltending goaltending throughout the game kept the enemy off the score- board. With only four seconds remaining, Jamie Brake directed directed a goalmouth pass from Craig Rickard into the net, with Sean Brown winning winning the original face-off to advance the play. With only 12 minutes in penalties and a hard-fought ■game, the Toros came away with their best effort since the Unionville Tournament. Toros 5 Lindsay 2 Playing at home once again, the Toros were able to ice a full squad which now gives the coaching staff the opportunity to work with some complete lines. The Toros jumped out in front with a 3-0 lead. Mike Landers from Ryan Robinson Robinson and Craig Rickard. Then it was Shawn Stephenson from Derek Smith and Chad Vanderende and the third goal was by Ryan Robinson, unassisted. The Toros decided to coast in the second period and with two unanswered goals, Lindsay was right back in the game. Just minutes later, Craig Rickard scored from Sean Brown and Shawn Stephenson. Stephenson. In the dying seconds, Jeff; Murphy grabbed a loose! puck and snapped a shot upj under the crossbar to give' the Toros a commanding" lead and the victory. Toro goalie Jamie Doyle 1 earned tne win with several key saves. 1 Toros 5 Lindsay 5 i 1 The Toros travelled back- to Lindsay the following' night and were even after- one period, on a goal scored by Robinson from Landers- and Rickard. After two periods, the Toros Toros went to the dressing 1 room with a comfortable 4-2 lead on goals by Rickard, 1 Stephenson and Gibbons. Lindsay wasted no time 1 G etting back into the game,' ut a powerplay goal on a slapshot from the blue line' by captain Chad Vande- rende gave the Toros a two- goal spread once again. The game continued to be very chippy and with no defensive defensive skills being applied whatsoever, the Toros' coughed up the puck time and time again. With only 13 seconds left, Lindsay tied the score. It was definitely not a good defensive effort as Chris McCarthy was left all alone many times throughout throughout the game. With the addition of three Newcastle and three Orono players, the Toros should have enough depth to win but the desire, dedication, dedication, determination and discipline discipline must be put into motion. motion. After 16 games, the Halminen Halminen Homes Bantams have eight wins, six losses, and two ties. HELP KEEP RED CROSS READY!
