The team has a five _ (Turn to page 15) The Port Perry Mojacks and Stouffville Clippers should have learned a valu- able lesson when they clashed Sunday evening in the MoJack home opener at the Scugog Arena. Penalties are going to play a major role in the Junior C league this year, and a team that can stay out of the box is going to win games. There is a new rule in the league this season which says a penalized player must serve the full two minutes even if the opposition scores a goal. The penalty parade on Sunday evening hurt both Mojacks and the Clippers as they skated to a 5-5 tie, in what was a entertaining game except for the penalties. MoJacks were leading the match 53 with just over seven minutes to play and seemed to have the game pretty much under control when Scott Heard was sent to: the penalty box. In the span of less than 60 seconds, Clippers tied the score and took the momen- tum away from the home town team. Joe Twinney made it 54 . when he banked a shot in off goalie Ray Gibson's leg from behind the MoJack net and then Ted Waite found the range to tie the score at five. Gibson took a slashing penalty at 15:34, his second. of the night, which MoJacks managed to kill off, and then the team had a chance to win it when Twinney was nailed for roughing at 17:04. However, the MoJack power play was sputtering at this time and the team was unable to mount 'a serious attack to Greg Ferguson, Lorne Potter and Joe Twinney (with two) accounted for the Clipper goals. For the MoJacks, first year man Brian Mikkelson continued to have a hot scoring hand as he pumped in two goals, while singles went to Todd Wilbur, Charlie Brown and Tim Thompson. Mikkelson had a four point game in the MoJacks league opener October 8 in Port Hope where the Panthers won 8-5. Carl Durward also pulled the trigger for four points in \ h loss, tie Port Hope, and he added a pair of assists in the match against the Clippers. There was a total of 28 "minor penalties called in the game, 12 to MoJacks and 16 to the Clippers. Despite the penalties and the disappointment in only coming away with a single point when a win was within their grasp, the MoJacks showed a lot of hustle and determination during most of the game. Some good 'back-checking kept -the Clippers off balance, and although one soft goal got by him, Ray Gibson made some brilliant stops in the net. Clippers possibly thought they just had to show up and go home with two points as they were coming off a 6-1 win the night before over Port Hope. Team officials were not disappointed with the show- ing by the MoJacks at the Scugog Arena. Play was a bit ragged at times, but this was just the second game of the season, and the hustle and determination made up for it. : If the MoJacks continue to display this kind of intensity, and round off the rough ' edges as the season moves along, they are going to surprise a few people around the league. ~The team has some sharp shooters on the forward lines and a mix of experienced and freshmen defensive corps. Between: the pipes, Ray.-- Gibson proved last year he is probably the best in the Junior C league, and he showed flashes of that form on Sunday evening. Clay Lovering, who will share the goal-tending duties is no stranger -to Port Perry hockey fans, and he played well in Port Hope despite the 8-5 loss to the Panthers. The goal-tending strength of Gibson and Lovering is going to win some hockey games for the MoJacks this MoJacks travel to Bewdley this Wednesday night for a game against the Chiefs, and will meet the Port Hope Panthers this Sunday night at the Scugog Arena with face-off at 7:30. Once the players get a couple victories under their " belts, it will go a long way in boosting confidence. A, --_ J H "Look, Hooper, | don't want you running i every five years asking for 3 rae
