wm» 34 -- Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, November 1, 1994 iy Very busy weekend for the Malmont Atoms The Malmont Farms "A" team had a very busy weekend that included a home game, a bus trip to Haliburton, a road game in Woodville and a practice in Little Britain! The players came out of the weekend still with some energy! I'm no sure about the * parents though. Friday night our boys started their weekend orl a successful note when they hosted a good skating, disciplined Peterborough. Nationals team. This game proved to be action packed with the score changing frequently. Our Port Perry boys came out flying and just 15 seconds into the game, Trevor Weisflock got a breakaway pass from Adam Moynes, right off the face-off and Trevor made no mistake in putting Port on the board first. However, we were not alone on the board long as Peterborough capitalized on a couple of defensive lapses to rack up two goals and end the first leading 2-1. Port Perry pressed hard, starting the Second. The Peterborough goalie made some good saves on a wicked wrist shot by Dean VanCamp | good chances by Jeff Tarbotton and Trevor Lance. Unfortunately, as so often happens when a team presses, Peterborough stole the puck R ink Somdvhere « 2. The § Moosomin, Saskatchewan and Houston, Texas are too far apart, in many ways to be in the same league but they share something in common, according to a hockey player who's been associated with both. Dave Tippett was born in Moosomin 33 years ago and now, after 10 years in the NHL, Is a playing coach in Houston. So how does that make the two places similar? "I can't believe it down here", said Tippett on the phone just before a morning practice. "There are great old core fans from the WHA and lots of new ones. The tickets are priced from $5 to $30 so It's more family ofiented than the NHL. It's really like the old tradition in Canada of the townspeople gathering to watch their team. Just like in Moosomin when my dad played with the Rangers." Dave was a wee lad then and may have cut his teeth on the Rangers but learned to play the game when he started school in Regina, then developed the skills to be a pro playing Tier II junior with Terry Simpson's renowned Prince Albert Raiders. After a couple of years at the University of North Dakota, Tippett joined the national team In 1984 and was part of the squad that finished fourth at the Sarajevo Olympics. The disappointment of being shut out in the medal round didn't sit well and after eight seasons with Hartford and Washington in the NHL, Tippett jumped at the chance when the Olympics beckoned again in '92. "The Olympic experience was incredible and after that fourth- place finish in '84. i really wanted to go back and get a medal-The silver in Albertville was definitely the highlight of my career." A good face-off man and dhecking line centre Is useful on any team and a few of them found a use for Dave. He bounced from Washington to Pittsburgh to Philadelphia in the next three years and hoped the moving had stopped last summer. Then he found that general managers can be changed as easily as fourth-line centres. Philly's Russ Farwell lost his job so Tippett did, too, and it was time for a change of sorts. "I had a good career in the NHL (721 games) but | have a young family with kids in school and wanted some stability," he said. "I Interviewed for some coaching jobs and ended up here (in Houston) as an assistant to Terry Ruskowski. Then they asked me to play so | said sure." Whether a playing coach in the minors has any more stability could be questioned but Tippett is comfortable deep in the heart of Texas in a league drawing huge crowds and rave reviews. There are some drawbacks, however, like the night last week when the Aeros' game against Atlanta was postponed because the ice melted. But that probably happened once or twice to a spring game in Moosomin, don't you think? Which brings Dave back to the similarities that set the Houston Aeros and Moosomin Rangers apart from average big-league hockey teams. "You don't see many $5 tickets in the NHL."

Our boys didn't give up though and came out working hard in the third. They were rewarded when Jeff Tarbotton scored on a pass from Trevor Lance and Tim Jones. Port continued to keep the pressure on, keeping the puck in Peterborough's end and defenseman Tim Jones shot from the point and Dane Gray deflected the shot past the goalie to put Port within one. This seemed to give our "A"s more energy and shortly after Jeff Tarbotton scored again (with assists to Trevor Lance and Justin Moffatt) to give us the lead 4-3. Dean VanCamp ran the score up to 5-3 on a shorthanded goal, Jamie Smith and goalie D'Arcy Stephens got the assists. Late in the third' Peterborough added another goal to bring them to 5-4 and despite pulling their goalie in favour of an extra attacker could not get the tying marker. Goalies D'Arcy Stephens and Mike Koury shared in the win and Jamie Smith was chosen for "Best Effort". The next day, Sat. Oct. 29, our Atom "A"s travelled by bus to Haliburton to take on the Haliburton "Muskies" in an Exhibition game. " The "A"s, ac®mpanying parents and coach had a great time travelling in style by bus and our heartiest thanks to "Pete" the busdriver! Adding - to everyone's enjoyment was the fact Port Perry came back winners by a 7-5 score. Goalies D'Arcy Stephens and Mike Koury were named as our "Best Effort" players and they were certainly instrumental in keeping the fast skating Haliburton team off the board. Haliburton got on the scoreboard first, late in the first period but Poft Perry came out of the perfod ahead on two goals in the dying seconds of the first. Our first goal was on some good passing by Dean .VanCamp to Mark Duncan who passed it to Mike LeFort in the slot and he flipped it in. Our second goal also came as a result of great passing when Trevor Lance "headmanned" to Justin Moffatt who passed to Jeff Tarbotton and he beat the goalie to put us ahead 2-1. Port Perry started the second with some momentum when Dane Gray picked up the puck in the neutral zone and blasted a hard wrist shot tb put Port up 3-2. Scott Duncan and Tyler Houtheys worked hard to clear out players in front of our net. However, Haliburton wasn't about to give up and replied with twapguick goals of their own to tie the game. From this point on the score seesawed. Dean VanCamp gave Port a 4-3 lead at the end of the second when he scored on a wraparound (assist to Mark Duncan).

Haliburton pulled their goalie and pressed hard but could not beat our defence. Jamie Smith scored on an empty net (assist to Mike LeFort) with 1 second left on the clock! Our bus ride home was a jubilant one! On Sun. Oct. 30, the "Malmont" lads were on the road again to Woodville to take on the Oshawa Blackhawks. This game was our third win in as many days. Our "Minor" line of Justin Moffatt, Jeff Tarbotton and Trevor Lance put on a passing display and were rewarded with three of our 8 goals. They were also named as our "Best Effort" players. Our "A"s started out the scoring when Justin Moffatt tipped in a rebound over a sprawling goalie. Assists came from Jeff Tarbotton and Trevor Lance. Shortly after Mike LeFort put Port up 2-0 when he rattled one off the post and into the net. Dean VanCamp provided the helper. In the second our "A"s continued their torrid pace with two more goals. Again our "Minor" line displayed great execution. Justin Moffatt scored his second goal of the game when he flipped the puck high over the goalie on passes from Jeff Tarbotton and Trevor Lance. Justin returned the favour on our fourth goal when he laid a perfect pass on Jeff's stick and Jeff flipped the puck in the net. Trevor Lance also had an assist. ! Oshawa did manage their one and only goal at the end of the second. The third period was all Port Perry - scoring four more goals before the final buzzer. Dean VanCamp continued his hot scoring streak with 3 goals in the final frame. Dean's first goal was assisted by Mike LeFort and Jamie Smith. Shortly after, Dean took a pass from Jamie Smith at centre and broke in all alone to score his second. Mark Duncan also had an assist, Trevor Weisflock moved us up 7-1 with a "Denis Savard" spin, scoring on a wrist shot. Dane Gray and Scott Duncan were credited with assists. Our 8th and final goal was again scored by Dean VanCamp from Mike LeFort when he beat the Oshawa defence and deked the goalie for his "Hat Trick"! Final score 8-1 for Port Perry.
