All in all, it was a good season for Port Perry teams. The Atoms and PeeWee B's, coached by Barkey 'and Van Camp, respectively, took championships. Other teams such as theMidget A Pacers and Juveniles had fine seasons but came up a little short in all-Ontario bids. The Bantam A's and PeeWee A's were first round upset victims to Uxbridge in Ontario Minor Hockey Asso- ciation - playoffs but other- wise had good seasons. As with any organizations, there are disappointments and 1980-81 was no exception. The Bantam B and Midget B squads failed to win a dozen games between them. It will be a year to remem- ber for forward John Lally and the rest of his Atom teammates. Port Perry swept Ernestown Township in three straight games to win a dozen games between them. "It will be a year to re- member for forward John . hy wi a win, for a possible three out Lally and the rest of his Atom teammates. Port Perry swept Ernestown Township in three straight games to win its second successive Eastern Regional championship and Lally scored three goals in the final victory. Port Perry eked out a 3-2 win in the deciding game of that series. Things looked pretty tense in the latter stages after the hosting Ernestown skaters tied it at 2-2. Late in the game Coach . Barkey made a move that he would later say played a big part in winning the game and title for his troops. After Ernestown knotted it, and with overtime threatening, the second year skipper put out the high scoring Lally line, with Brad Menzies and first year winger Mike Sorley. Menzies, who also performed in stellar fashion throughout the series, set up Lally's winning goal on a rink long dash minutes be- fore the final horn had -echoed throughout the pres- tigious looking stadium. The Atoms were also the only team in the PPMHA to win its own tourney, which they did in impressive fash- ion. Through three games, Port outscored its opponents 22-2 as Stacey Ballingall, who would later shine in the playoffs, played a key role. They beat Newmarket, Oshawa LNHL, and Otonabee to win that trophy as one of several pieces of hardware the youngsters col- lected throughout the year. Menzies, the team's Most Valuable Player named at the: annual year ending Banquet last week, scored five goals during that tourna- ment. During the season the Atoms showed a moxy that teams several years its senior don't have. Coaches Barkey and Dave Ballingall and Manager Bob Jamieson have drilled into the team the ability to play with pre- cision, both offensively and defensively. They are sel- dom out of position and pass and skate remarkably well. All but two of the Atoms are lost to PeeWee graduation by -the time the bell rings to start another season. Wing- ers Sorley and Darryl Leatherdale, who spent the previous season in Novice House League, are the only two remaining. The graduation of these players may be a precurser to a strong season at the PeeWee level next year. Both PeeWee teams in 80-81 were strong, despite the A's early dismissal. But the story at this level is the storybook team guided by Van Camp. At the fall meeting to name team coaches, Van Camp was the only man offering to take the B's. - Understandably, the PPMHA Executives were hesitant about allowing a teenager with only house league coaching experience take over a competitive team which would be less than six years younger than himself. The PPMHA Execs, after much soul searching, deci- ded to let Van Camp move in behind the bench and hind sight proved them right. Along with his father Glen, Van Camp manouvred his team into all-Ontario series against perennial contender Dresden. They took a tie and of four points, in a weekend twin bill down there, and then skated off with champ- ionship laurels following an overtime win at home one Sunday afternoon. Both teams were honoured at the banquet which brought down the curtain on the fine season. Mr. Jamieson made a particularly humourous speech, something he is noted for, in which he thank- ed the team parents, the PPHMA, and assorted other local officials. He then intro- duced the players individ- ually and they were given team plaques and trophies, courtesy of the local associ- ation and sponser Neil Malcolm. Van Camp also made a speech, introducing all of his players with a running commentary on each. The 'other' PeeWee team, the A squad, was also under the direction of a first year coach in Jim Burnett. Coach Burnett had less success than his other PeeWee counterpart as they lost out to Uxbridge in the fifth and deciding game of a five game series. The A's had looked impressive in their own tournament earlier in the year as they won a pair of games, including a one goal win over Uxbridge, before bowing out to powerful Well- ington unit. The A's were made up by many second year players 'and many hockey fans in Port Perry expected big things from them. But Uxbridge, which also had a strong club, ousted them in a close series as a duel Port PeeWee championship hopes faded. Craig Menzies com- pleted the brother act when he was named Most Valuable Player at the banquet. Another Port team that was expected to do well but faded in the initial series was the Bantam A's 'OMHA finalists a year ago. They had a rather hasty exit in four games. They key to the series was Port's inability to control speedsters like Shane 'Redshaw and 'Brian Rushlow. Throughout the year, Port received a strong, well balanced attack from the likes of left wing Kevin Ferguson, center Jeff Johnston, and right wing Steve Lee to complement the strong backline work of cap- tain Vaughan McKee. But these players were silenced in the playoffs and the "Bantam A's exited quietly. 'The Bantams had been kept active throughout the entire season as they played in more tournaments than just about any other team in Port, with the possible ex- ception of the Atoms. They competed in Port Hope, Cobourg, Bancroft, Graven- hust as well as their own and won consolations at the latter two meets. One of the most entertain- ing teams to hit the Scugog Arena ice in the playoffs was the Port Perry 'Juveniles, led by two time 'MVP Tim" Thompson and linemate Brian Mikkellsen. Port Perry swept series against Lakefield and Uxbridge but lot out in an overtime heart- breaker in Stirling. Thompson scored the winning goal with just over a minute to play against Uxbridge as he raced down the right wing and blasted a slap shot behind Uxbridge goaltender Darrell Horne to take one of the best game of the year at the Scugog Arena, 9-8. It was a short- handed effort with captain Carl Durward in the penalty box. That game was tied at seven different times as fans from both towns were kept on their feet continuously. Port breezed past Lakefield squad in three straight frays, but had to come from behind to win a 6-4 decision in the clincher. OPENING" Friday, May 1st 53 Division St. N.
