wp" 18--Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday , October 37, 1993 & CITIZEN SPORTS Coach raps lack of intensity and effort ModJacks bounced 9-4 It was one of those weekends for the Port Perry MoJacks. Just when it looked like the team was starting to get it together with a 14-3 victory Friday night over Bobcaygeon Bullets, things came crashing back to earth on home ice Sunday as the visiting Little Britain Merchants pinned a 9-4 drubbing on the guys in green and white. And that 9-4 score is a bit flattering as the MoJacks scored two late in the game when the contest had long been decided. The Merchants, sporting a 3-2 record going into Sunday's game and fresh from a 3-2 victory over Uxbridge on Friday wasted little time getting the jump on the MoJacks in the first period, taking a 2-0 lead on markers by Jeff Budden and Ritch Jenkins before Jarrett Harman snapped one to the corner at 5:31 to make it 2-1. But that's as close at the MoJacks could get as the Merchants played their usual "in-your-face" brand of hockey. Aad they. also used size and experience to force numerous defensive mistakes on the part of the MoJacks. Four straight goals in the middle period gave the visitors a 7-1 lead and that was pretty well the old ball game. For the Merchants, Budden had two with three assists, Sheldon Evers and Trevor Trent had a pair each with singles to Kyle Higham, and Steve Trumbull. Harman, Nathan Brown and Jan Heyes with two late in the game, mustered the goals for Port Perry. Don Fleming turned in a solid game between the pipes for the Merchants, while at the other end of the rink, MoJack starter Ian Cooper appeared to be fighting the puck at times and he was replaced in the second by Tim Wild with the score 5-1. On Friday evening the MoJacks feasted on the Bobcaygeon Bullets to the tune of 14-3. Port's two victories so far this season have been over the Bullets. Brad MacArthur and Jan Heyes each had a hat trick. Brent Gaylor and Clair Cornish had two each with singles to Steve Laird, Jeff Parry, Jim Midget B Islanders defeat Millbrook 5-2 Canadian Tire Midget B hockey team hosted Millbrook on Oct.21. Mark Cosway opened the scoring at the 1:30 mark with an unassisted goal. Seventeen seconds later Mark got his second goal with assists to Greg Thompson and Ryan Ridgway. Lou Whitfield made the score 3-0 on a nice tip in on a pass from Jason Coutoulakis. With eleven seconds left in the first period Chad Garvock scored with assists going to Ryan Ridgway and Jason. Millbrook scored early in the second to cut the lead to 4-1. Late in the second Jason Coutoulakis scored to mark the score 5-1 going into the third period. Assists to Brett Lawson and Lou Whitfield. The third period saw one goal by Millbrook. Final score 5-2 for Canadian Tire Islanders. Play resumes this Wednesday with Haliburton supplying the opposition. Game time 9:15 p.m. at Scugog Arena.

MoJacks fired 73 shots on the Bobcaygeon net while the Bullets could manage just 13 against Tim Wild. SLAPSHOTS: MoJacks head coach Brad Ryder was less than thrilled with the performance Sunday evening against Little Britain. He cited a lack of consistency and intensity as two factors but was most concerned about mental attitudes. "I'm looking to get 100 per cent (effort) from everyone. It was fairly obvious tonight that we are not getting that," he said quietly. He agreed that many members of the team are young and lacking experience at the Junior level. "But they have to realize they must get themselves prepared (mentally) when they come to the rink," he said, adding that lack of experience has nothing to do with lack of intensity, MoJacks record so far is two wins, four losses and a tie. Things don't get a whole lot easier this week as they visit Bowmanville tonight (Oct. 27), Uxbridge Friday and host Bobcaygeon on Sunday at 3,30 PM " Prior to Sunday night's game MoJack captain Brett Puckrin publicly extended sympathy to the family of Dan McNeil of Uxbridge Bruins who died in a car accident October 18 while on his way home from a game in Port Perry. His team mate Jeff Cowley remains in critical but stable condition in hospital. Members of the McNeil and Cowley families were present at Sunday's game amd each member of the MoJacks offered individual expressions of sympathy. Clair Cornish was in uniform for both weekend games and picked up several points. He led the team in scoring last season.
