LT BRIAR Ae 20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., October 10, 1979 Sports Mojacks open season with 11-8 victory It could hardly be called a classic hockey game, but the Port Perry MoJacks got the 1979-80 Junior C season off on the right foot, as they out- lasted the Little Britain Merchants 11-8 last Sunday evening at the Scugog Arena. MoJack captain Bill Bridge provided the scoring punch with a hat trick, including an insurance marker midway through the final period which put the lid on a strong come-back attempt by the Merchants. Phil Cochrane popped in two third period markers including the eventual game winner, and he helped set up three other goals for a five point evening. Tim Kane also had a productive night for the MoJacks with two goals and two assists. For the visiting Merchants who at one point early in the second period were on the short end of a 6-0 score, Paul Starr, Don Brown, and Larry Patton each had two goals, while Ed McLean and Terry Jenkins chipped in with singletons. It was the first regular season game for both teams, and the high score was indic- ative of sloppy defensive work and shakey goal- keeping, - : The MoJacks started the game with a flurry of goals in the first period, and threa- tened to run the Merchants right out of the arena. The game was barely three min- utes old when defenseman Rob Kemp found the target from a scramble in front of the Merchant goalie Herb Rudd while Mike Seift was in the penalty box for hooking. Tim Kane tipped a shot past Rudd two minutes later with Steve Geer and Bill Bridge building the MoJack lead to four goals by the end of the first 20 minutes. Kane got his second of the night early in the second period followed closely by Charlie Brown and the Mo- Jacks lead, bulged to 6-0. COMEBACK The MerchaMs were far from dead however, popping four goals behind Ray Gib- son in the Port Perry nets during the second period. WL poids ote fH Sn RRR OAH with ® Danny Millar \ The MoJacks seemed to be content to try to sit on their 6-0 lead. A goal at the seven minute mark of the third by Terry Jenkins tied the score at seven, and it looked like the Merchants might be on their way to an amazing come-back victory. However, just 30 seconds later, Phil Cochrane was credited with a goal that went off a Merchant defense- man and trickled over the goal-line. At the 11 minute mark Cochrane made no mistake on a breakaway as he drilled the insurance marker past Rudd. Although the game was cleanly played for the most part, MoJacks took 11 penal- ties to the Merchants five, and the visitors took advant- age by scoring four goals while Port Perry was play- ing a man short. There was one brief wrestling match late in the second period when Charlie Brown and Geoff Field tangled, with no serious punches thrown. Port Perry coach Doug Scott used three forward lines throughout the game, with a little juggling in the third period. The trio of Bridge, Stu Cochrane, and Darrin Jobb, all veterans, showed a lot of promise. Veteran Phil Cochrane, teamed with Tim Kane and rookie Mike Healey, also showed scoring punch with Healey getting three assists and a goal in his first game as a MoJack. Newcomers Rob Cannon Dave Canning, Steve Geer, and Clark Menzies shared duties on the third line, and while their lack of exper- ience showed up at times, they skated well and proved to be pesky checkers in the Merchant end of the rink. QUESTION MARK For the MoJacks. however the big question mark early in the season looks to be along the blue line. On sever- al occasions, the defensive corps was caught flat-footed as Merchant forwards skat- ed in on Gibson almost un- molested. However, Port Perry was without two regu- lars along the blue line, and (Turn to page 21) P.P.Curling Club marks 25 years It is that time of year when many ladies start to thing of brooms.

Soccer Club plans coaches clinic - by Danny Millar The Scugog Soccer Club concluded the naming of its 1980 Executive at a meeting on Thursday, October 4. Several of the Directores and President Jim Callen had been named at a meeting last month but due to poor attendance the meeting was re-scheduled. Bill McCullough will serve as Vice President with Mr. Callen. Directors will include: John Rodway, Alf Huggins, Mrs. Collins, Mau- reen Yeo, Brian Mark, Dr. John Hammett, Ray Walton, Colin Dodds, and Mrs. Corey Vandermeer. Barry Page will also be part of the council. Only three Directors are returning from last year. This aspect pleases past President Mr. Brian Yeo. "That's new blood,' he says. One possible problem with the "brand new' members as Mr. Yeo terms them, may be inexperience. Only Page, Rodway, and Maureen Yeo are returning. "We had a good meeting and a good turnout," said Mr. Yeo. There were 25 people present, other than executives. The Club is planning to bring in a Level 1 coaches clinic next year so that the coaches 'will become certi- fied with the Ontario Ama- teur Soccer Association. Several of the 1978 coaches completed the course and passed it. The course is "entirely aimed at the skill level," stated Mr. Yeo. It is two days of "very intensive, very athletic," training according to Mr. Yeo, who took the course last year. There are five coaching levels in Canada, with the fifth level being a national Juveniles drop first game 8-1 by Danny Millar The Port Perry juveniles opened their exhibition hoc- key season with an 8-1 loss to Oshawa, on Sunday October 7 in a penalty filled game in Oshawa.

Each coach can take one course at the beginning of the season and another at the end, if it is available. The level I pro- gram will be brought to Port Perry because when offered in other areas it becomes booked quickly. Cost will be $15 per person and each coach will pay his own fees. It was decided at the meet- ing that an effort will be made to contact more refer- ees, of which there was a shortage. This season past, the officials were strictly volunteer but next year, un- Oshawa is supposed to be one of the top teams in the new South Lakeshore League that Port Perry plays in this season. First period goals by Brian Legree and Mike Albrecht gave the home team a 2-0 lead before Cleveland connected to bring Port within one after twenty minutes of play. Albrecht scored another goal in the final period, on which Legree assisted. Jeff O'Reilly also had a big game for the Oshawans as he notched goals in the second 5 der head referee Clive Rowan, they will be paid. There was talk of develop- ing competitive travelling teams next season. This year there were a number of teams that went only so far as Oshawa. "I'd like to see at least one competitive team," asserted Mr. Yeo. He did not say what age group he would like to watch compete. The new Executive meets on November 30 to begin making decisions for next year. Coaches will be picked in the new year. and third sessions. Greg Urie, Roger Morris, and John Fanning completed the scoring for Oshawa. Fanning was the player who was handed a game misconduct and Urie gotga match penalty during the rough contest.
