Flamingos assured berth $13,000 to projects in Lakeshore Playoffs Port Perry Flamingo Bak- eries Junior C hockey club assured themselves of a place in the Lakeshore playoffs by earning another win and a tie last week. Thursday, January 25 the team took on the tough league leading Cobourg Cou- gars at Port Perry Arena and fought all the way to the final whistle for a 6 - 6 tie. They earned the tie with excellent passing and sheer, uh, intestinal fortitude. Cougars jumped into an early 3 - 0 lead on goals by Bill Whitelaw, Ed Clarey and Terry Lewis. It looked like the Flamingos were in for another long hard night. Early in the second period Port started to skate and fore check better. Before the second ended Dave Bour- geois, Randy Hall and Ted Prentice got a goal each to tie it all up. In the third Cougars again found their scoring touch when Bill Whitelaw, scored his second of the evening. Ted Baxter and Garth Beer made it 6 - 3 for Cobourg. Flamingos fought back. In the second half of the last period Grant McLaughlin and Ted Prentice each scored to bring the game back within reach at 6 - 5. Then, with only four minutes remaining, Larry Geer fin- ished off a passing play started by Shawn Lockie and Bob Winneck to tie it once and for all. The last four minutes were full of tension as Port Perry kept up full pressure until the last second of play. Phil Gilroy did an out- standing job of protecting the Port Perry net. The following Sunday Flamingos had little trouble swamping the visiting Markham Aces. The boys build up a first period 6 - 0 lead then went on to win an easy 10 - 4 victory. Neil McLaughlin, Larry Geer and - Ted Prentice got two goals each while singles went to Paul Curtis, Bob Winneck, Dave Bourgeois and Grant McLaughlin. This victory enabled Flamingso to move ahead of Markham into sixth place only two points behind Sutton Rangers in fifth. The next home game is Thursday, Feb. 1, when Port Perry plays host to the tough Penetang team. The last Port - Penetang game was one of the roughest this year, so a larger than usual crowd is expected to fill the stands Thursday. (continued all passed by the members. A suggestion by the Board to increase the membership fee from $10 to $25 was passed following a brief discussion. The reason explained by Mr. Drew was to save extra work collecting $15. to help defray the cost of the Christmas Parade in December. For the extra cost to the organization of $100. it was decided to have monthly bulletins containing the min- utes of the board meetings sent to all members. Port Perry wins annual Bantam Tournament Beare Motors Bantams won the annual Bantam tournament at Port Perry arena on Saturday, January 20 with decisive wins over Ajax, Markham and Oshawa. Whitby Majors won the consolation prize. Altogether ten teams took part in the tournament. There were two each from Port Perry and Whitby. Oshawa, - Bowmanville, Lindsay, Markham and Ajax entered one team each. In their first game the Port boys edged past Ajax 2 - 1. They held a wide margin in play, but couldn't finish off several scoring chances. The goals were earned by John Scott assisted by Dave Horton and Gord Scott, and Phil Cochrane assisted by Bill Ridge and Robert VanCamp. In the second round, Beare's just walked all over Markham, led by Mark Jobb who rammed home four goals. Gord Scott, Phil Cochrane, Dave Horton, Steve Jones and Jamie Malcolm contributed more goals to the easy 9 - 1 victory. Bill Evans and Ronny Heard shared the duties. In the final championship game Port shut out Oshawa Lions 4 - 0. Steve Jones opened Port's scoring while his team was short handed. Phil Cochrane completed a play, assisted by Jobb and Jones, for the second mar- netminding ker. Mark Jobb then con- nected for two goals to round out the scoring. Our boys put forth a great team effort and deserve a lot of credit as the other teams were classed much higher than -our winners.
