Rhee Sa ---- a P= oe 18 -- PORT PERRY STAR by John B.-McCle]land- A goal with exactly one minute left in the game lifted the Lindsay Muskies into a 5-5 tie with the Port Perry MoJacks in Junior C hockey action Sunday night at the Scugog Arena. That marker by Muskie . defenseman Bill Speer came just, 30 seconds after Stu Cochrane had given the MoJacks a 5-4 lead and what looked like a well-earned two points in a tough, gritty per- formance for the short- staffed Port Perry squad. The MoJacks, who are now undefeated in their last three games, had only 12 skaters dressed for the match against the tough Muskies, as five first-stringers were out of the line-up. The game was a rough, bruising affair, with the teams trading the lead a couple of times. In addition to being under-manned, the MoJacks hurt their own cause with a long string of minor penalties which meant extra work for those players who did show up for the game. Early in the second period the match was delayed several minutes after a spirited brawl involving four players. When the dust had cleared and the referee finally got the penalties sorted out, MoJacks Rob Garrow was thrown out of the game, along with Muskies Bob Sinclair who picked up two five-minute majors, and a two game suspension. John Robertson and Gary Beukeboom got five minute fighting majors for their role in the scuffle which took place behind the Port Perry goal. Because of the major mis- conduct penalty to Sinclair, Muskies ended up playing a man short for a full five minutes, and it led to a goal by MoJack defenseman Bill Owen. Lindsay scoring at the 13:14 mark of the first when Dave Aikens snapped a puck past Merle Schewaga with MoJack captain Bill Bridge sitting out a minor penalty for hook- ing. The MoJacks tied it late in the first 'period when Rob Cannon scored his first of the season. He carried the puck across the Lindsay blueline and when two Muskie defensemen collided, Cannon slipped in alone and beat Jim Gillam cleanly with a high shot to the glove side.

Owen made up for that miscue in the second period when he beat Gillam with two shots, the first at the 6:08 mark on a power play to tie the score, and the second at the 19:33 mark to give MoJacks a 3-2 lead, also on a power play. The pair of goals marked the third straight game that Owen has scored twice, and he is finding the range with a hard, low slap shot from just inside the blue line. Owen's second goal against Lindsay Sunday night seemed -to.-go right through Muskie netminder Gillam. At the 2:46 mark of the: third, Muskies tied the score when Dave Aikens clicked again on the power play. with 7 Bridge off for interference, - and Gary Beukeboom put them ahead 4-3 at the 14 minute mark on a nice pass- ing play in front of Schewaga who had little chance on the shot. ~ Less than a minute later, Bill Bridge tied the score at four each when he took a long pass from John Robert- son and beat Gillam to the corner from 20 feet in front of the net. That set the stage for Cochrane's go-ahead goal and the Lindsay equalizer in the final minute of play. Cochrane took a shovel pass from Bridge and picked the corner with the Lindsay goalie well out of position, and Speer found the range from just inside the MoJack blue line after Dave Aiken had won a face-off deep in the Port Perry zone. While MoJacks would have been delighted had 'they managed to pull off a vic- tory, the team actually had to play very well to, get the tie. They were out-shot by the Muskies 34-30 and the visi- tors had the better of the scoring chances. MoJack goalie Merle Schewaga had a steady game between the pipes, and looked especially sharp when his team was short-handed. MoJacks took 12 minor penalties to eight by the Muskies. It was a rugged game throughout with both teams handing out a lot of heavy TEAM GP Ww Bowmanville 14 10 Port Hope 14 7 Cobourg 12 Stouffville 16 Lindsay 12 Port Perry 13 Uxbridge 11 Beaverton 10 Little Britain 10 --_ wi =~ JUNIOR "C" LEAGUE STANDINGS AS OF NOV. 18 L T PTS GF GA 2 2 22 83 63 4 3 17 85 71 3 2 16 94 68 8 1 15 76 94 4 3 13 63 56 7 1 1 72 80 6 1 9 58 62 6 1 7 51 62 9 0 2 40 7 Muskie goalie Jim Gillam found the going a little ¥ ttle to 5-5 draw rough on this play as MoJack forward leans on him during Junior C action at the Scugog Arena Sunday night. Lindsay and Port Perry traded goals and wound up in a five-five tie in a hard-hitting contest. checks, especially Healey, Owen and Dave Alexander for the MoJacks. Alexander is starting to make his presence felt when he's on the ice. While he may not be the smoothest skater in the world, he plays an aggressive style and is effec- tive in the corners. Several times, he came up with the puck after bumping Muskies players along the boards. The MoJacks have been playing short-handed for almost the entire season. On Sunday night they were without forward Phil Cochrane who is still hob- bling with a sore knee, and defensemen Darrin Jobb, Chic Tyson, Steve Jones and Rob Kemp. MoJacks dre now in sixth spot in the league standings with 11 points, just two back of Lindsay, but just two ahed of the Uxbridge Bruins. Bowmanville leads the pack (as of November 18) with 22 points. The team is idle until this Sunday night when the improving Beaverton Ice Hawks pay a visit to the Scugog Arena. Beaverton recently nipped Pacers outskated, outplayed Easy victory for Bay by Danny Millar The visiting midget A hockey team from Bay Ridges rolled into town about 7:30 Monday, November 12, and by the time they left for home two hours later had administered a solid 8-2 thrashing to the Grant Menzies Pacers. It was not a matter of the Pacers being outplayed as much as being outclassed. Bay Ridges simply had a far superior hockey team that outskated another fast skating team. Centre- defenceman Todd Wilbur was one of the few players from Port Perry who seemed able to play on the same level as the visiting power- house. Bay Ridges played an entertaining style of skating and head-manning the puck. Carl Devine and Harvey Bischof scored for Bay Ridges in the first period. Devine added a second period score before Steve Carson managed to beat goaltender Clay Lovering on a shot that trickled between his legs. Carson had eluded Wilbur to score even though he was being hauled down in the midst of delivering his shot. Minutes after the goal," Lovering made a superb stop on John Thorton off a re- bound. He also prevented Pete Dique from scoring later in the period. Carson netted the last goal of the second period on a power play, with Mark Jeffrey off, with 4:21 yet to play. The goal was pre- ceeded by neat passing from Dique and Thorton. Pacer fortunes took a downward slope early in the third period when Wilbur was shaken up in an end board collision. Dique converted a Devine rebound after Lovering had made a key stop. It came at the 8:35 mark as Brian Wittenberg drew an assist. Carson initiated the play that led to the last Ridges goal when he rushed down the ice and devastated Lovering with a deke, with 5:51 remaining. It gave the visitors an 8-1 lead. - It was in the third period that the Pacers began to look disorganized. At times they seemed in awe of the bigger, smoother athletes that had confronted them on their own turf. While it is true that Bay Ridges did more to win the match than Port Perry did to lose it, Port's inability to negotiate an offence was telling in the third period. Although some people may feel that the move to a tougher division by the A league-leading Bowmanville 5-4, so that team is capable of playing some good hockey. MoJacks will have Darrin Jobb back in uniform, along with Tyson and Jones. Rob Kemp, who has a broken ankle will not play again for at least four weeks,/and Phil Cochrane's knee nay not be ready for thi day night. Game time is 7:30. Ridges teams in Port Perry has been a drawback, one major plus is that it gives hockey entusiasts a chance to see better quality play. Sports fans in Port Perry have a unique advantage in that they have many B teams so that they can compare the level between the two loops. One of the most striking differences occurs in the midget division where the B brand is less adept at pass- ing, skating, and shooting, while the A's play a faster, wide open style. Todd Wilbur and Paul Storry netted the Port Perry points. Brian Mikkelson and Mike Andrew assisted on Wilbur's and Bob Horton lended a helping hand on Storry's. Oshawa doubled * the Pacers 4-2 in Oshawa on Thursday, November 15, in Oshawa.
