But that wasn't ,thc case on Sunday night at the Recreation Complex. ; The Bowmanvillc Eagles appeared to be on their way to an easy victory over the Oshawa Legionaires after building a 5-1 lead in the second period of their Ontario Junior Hockey League game. And even a 6-4 lead in the third period looked comfortable. But Kyle Adams' goal 58 seconds into overtime gave Oshawa a jeome-from-behind 7-6 victory. It was the second lime in as many games that the Eagles squandered a lead. Friday night in Wellington, the Eagles opened up a 3-0 margin, only to lose 5-4. f Sunday's loss was the third in a row for the Eagles after opening the regular season with a victory.

"The immaturity of our team is showing," said coach Don Howse of his young lineup. "We are coughing coughing up the puck because we are panicking in our zone instead of making the right play." > Craig Mustard led the Eagles' offense with a brilliant brilliant three-goal performance. Josh Eade, Ted Marks, and Chris Steele had one apiece for the Eagles, who led '4-1 after the first period, and 5-4 after the second.
