This playoff win was a team effort, with the boys passing very effectively throughout the game. Port scored once in the Tweens dumped 7-1 by Mariposa team by Kelly Storry and Susan Waite On Thursday March 12 the Port Tweens were defeated 7-1 by Mariposa. Scoring Ports only goal was Kelly Storry assisted by Sue Waite. Heather Muir played a good game in goal after being away on vacation for two and a half weeks. We got one penalty for hooking, but she only stayed in the box for nine seconds and they scored their fifth goal. Jessica Fluke played a good game out after being in net while our other goalie was away. Cathy Armstrong will not be playing for three weeks because of a bad back, but will be here for the Regionals. Each girl played an excellent game. This year's Regionals will be held in Port on the second, third, fourth and fifth of April, so come out and cheer uson to a victory. first period, with Jeff Mills netting one from Sean Bradbury. Mills and Brad- bury teamed up again in the second period, with Mills scoring at 3:51. Jeff then came on to get his hat trick, scoring unassisted at 6:20. A minute later Clair Cornish gave Port a 4 goal advantage netting one from Michael Feasby. Markham came back and scored 3 unanswered goals before Clair put his team ahead by 2, unassisted with 1:09 remaining in the third period. Markham did not give up however, and scored with 10 seconds left. Clair Cornish was to get his hat trick in this game, when he netted his third goal unassisted, with 5 seconds remaining. The final buzzer sounded, and the Auctioneers were on top 6-4. On Fridav. Port hosted tf a a Stouffville in the final playoff game of the series. This match proved to be a close checking one, as the first period went by scoreless. Both netminders made key saves in thwarting numerous scoring chances. Port then scored twice in the second period. Clair Cornish netted both markers and on both occasions, netminder Ryan LaRocca was awarded the assist. Stouffville put on some pressure in the third period, and scored once. Port was held scoreless in the period, for a final tally of 2-1 in favour of the Auctioneers. Our fine "defensive four" are to be congratulated for work at the blue line. The Auctioneers expect to have an exhibition game on Friday before travelling to Ernestown on March 22nd for a tournament. EE ah The game was not a typical playoff affair. The defensive work by both sides was sloppy and the goal- tending by Harman, with the exception of the first period, and Doxtator was inconsis- tent. It was an offensive style shootout that had the fans on their feet constantly. The contest was also a rugged one with many penalties, including an unusually high number in the overtime period. The penalty that hurt Port Perry the most was the minor infraction pinned on Andrews with 2:02 remaining. Up by a goal, Stirling added another off the stick of forward Brian Doxtator with 29 seconds remaining that turned out to be the winner. It was Doxtator's fourth goal of the game, which took over three hours to play. Doxtator scored the go ahead marker at 4:06 of the overtime frame while both teams were playing a man short. A miscue by defence- man Hal Storry at the Stirling blue line allowed Doxtator go go in alone on Harman and the smooth skating Blue didn't miss. Port winger Brian Dickson angrily slammed his stick against the fiberglass penalty box wall. Brian Mikkellsen, who, along with Tim Thompson, has carried the team offensively through the last _half of the season, scored the goal that sent the game into overtime when he knocked the rebound past Doxtator while the Blues were at a two man disadvantage. Thompson did most of the work. The shifty centerman picked the puck up behind his own net and took off on a rink long rush before shovelling off to Dickson, Close, but not quite in 1981 who shot on the net. Winger Robert Cannon scored two goals in the losing cause, both in the second period. He was in alone on Doxtator when the puck bobbled off the end of his stick and past the shaky Blues netminder at the 12:37 mark. His other marker came on a power play when he picked up a loose puck in the slot and put in a high wrist shot. Cannon and Thompson are two of the most important players that the Juveniles stand to lose for next season, both because of age. How- ever, the rest of the squad looks pretty solid. Those two forwards will be replaced by the likes of Paul Storry, Kevin Long and Scott Wallace, all of whom were regulars with the Midget A's. Todd Blayone will bolster a defence corps which came under some critism this season. Blayone was a standout along the Pacers blue line this season, serving as the team's captain. The problem area a year from now is likely to be goaltending. Glen Archibald, who was the starter until playoff time, graduates. That leaves Harman, who is a clutch playoff performer, but he also has a year of Midget eligibility remaining and will likely be the number one man in the nets for the Pacers. Clay Lovering has stated an intention of playing for an intermediate team, should that become a reality. Also interested in playing for the Juveniles next year could be Todd Wilbur. He was a bright spot for the dreary MoJacks as he earned rookie of the year honours and if he decides to forego the juniors next year could be the replacement for Thompson.
