Utica dropped the first game of the best of three series but then captured the next two. All three games were decided by one goal margins. The final was a replay of last year's title round. In 1979 Utica took the first game but Port Perry edged them out by winning the final pair. Utica thoroughly domina- ted the last game of the 1980 round, but were stymied by Keith Fraser, Port's goal- tender. The only goal of the game was scored by Mike Mitchell with 1:54 remaining in the second period. Mit- chell managed to tip in a pass at the edge of the crease off the broom of teammate Mike Mole, who was relaying from defenceman Tim Ash- bridge. The goal was scored after Utica applied pressure on the Port net, just as a penalty to Larry Page had expired. Though no goals were scored during power plays, penalties played an impor- tant part in the outcome. Utica established domina- tion early in the first period as they managed several good chances while Ken . Jeffrey was off for holding. Later in the period, they again had a number of near misses on a Page infraction for slashing. The early penalties enabled Utica to gain momentum and stopped Port Perry from unleashing its strongest attack. offensive For the first time in two years, C & B Livestock 12-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, April 9, 1980 Spor with Danny Millar Midway through the open- ing session Mark Lee missed on Port's best scoring drive after being set up in front of goaltender Don Card, who was also a standout between the Jockey pipes, from Ron Redman. Redman also failed to convert the rebound. g With Page in the box early in the second period, Fraser turned away glittering an opportunity by Mitchell as Utica turned on the heat. After the penalty elapsed, Doug Scott missed on an excellent chance to tie the score following a two-on-one pass from Don Phinney. Defenceman Bill Owen near- ly tied the score on another drive when his shot hit the goal post on an empty side of the net. Utica ran into a penalty with just two seconds left in the second period. Port Perry refused to let its two previous titles go down with- out a fight and the result was some pretty hectic moments for Card early in the third period power play. Robert Evans, the loop's leading scorer in the regular season, had two chances turned away. The Plow Jockeys regain- ed control when Bill Owen took a charging penalty with 11:08 left in the game. Owen took a run at Rick Ellicott, slamming him against the boards at the Port bench. Ellicott was down for a moment before getting up and leaving the game under his own power. Card made the save of the game while Port was short- handed when he blocked Bruce Woodrow's attempt on a breakaway. Woodrow gained possession after had to settle for second best and captain Mark Lee accepted the trophy from Broomball Association president Dennis Sims. The Utica Plow Jockeys are the 1980 broomball champs following a 1-0 win Sunday over C & B Livestock of Port Perry in the third and deciding game. Front row from left to right: Rick Collins, Aldon Smith, Mike Mitchell, Don Card, Mike Mole, Utica had been swarming around Fraser at the other end. C & B staged a rally in the last five minutes, with the aid of a penalty against Adlon Smith for pulling down Lee in front of Card. In the latter stages Randy Craw- ford was stopped on a neat set up from Evans and Scott. Scott came close twice after intercepting a clearing attempt. When Smith got the call against him with 59 seconds remaining, Port removed Fraser for an extra shooter, playing six men to four. Utica managed to get the ball down to the Port Perry end and came very close to scoring on a couple of occasions. Port Perry Association President David Dalton presented the championship trophy to the Uticans after their shutout win. Captain Lee accepted the consolation trophy for Port Perry.

Consolation to local Novice team 1] ® a Beaverton wins tourney trophy by Danny Millar Beaverton pulled off a sur- prise comeback to defeat Cobourg 4-3 in the final game to take the Port Perry Minor Hockey Association Novice Tournament on Good Friday. Port Perry won the consolation with a shutout 1-0 victory. Port's only loss, which sent them into the consolation round, was a 1-0 setback at the hands of Beaverton in the first game. Parity was evident in the eight team tourney. All of the games were decided by two goals or less. : In the championship match Cobourg opened up a two goal lead before Beaver- ton came back with four unanswered tallies. Phil Davey opened the scoring 1:31 into the game when he feinted goaler Jason Dennis down and tucked the puck in behind him. Jayson Steven- son put Cobourg up 2-0 with . an unassisted marker that he put into the open corner of the net after carrying the puck around the goal and shoving it in. At 4:09 Beaverton got on the scoreboard for the first time. Eldon Thompson jammed in a rebound after several attempts. Beaverton tied it up before the period ended when Bobby McGee spotted Steven Brown in front and hit him with a pass, that Brown redirected into the net. Cobourg used one of the strangest goaltending systems that can be found anywhere. They alternated John Maddigan and Fraser Adamson in goal. The two athletes were switched with the same regularity in which Cobourg changed its lines. Beaverton's speedy for- ward Brown got his second goal at the 2:43 mark of the second period on a rink long rush, completing it with a wrist shot past Adamson, his first shot on goal in the second period. It was the only score of the frame. As often happens in Novice hockey, Beaverton's Jeremy Graham got a soft goal. Graham's easy shot from the right boards just inside the blue line eluded Adamson with 6:42 remaining. At the lower age levels the shooters seem to have an advantage over the goalkeepers. It came as a bit of a shock that the games were mostly low scoring with a few shutouts. (Turn to page 13)
