First regular home game on October 14 The Port Perry Mo- Jacks will open the 1984-85 Junior C season on Thursday, October 11 when they travel to Port Hope to take on the Panthers. The first regular sea- son home game for the, MoJacks will be Sun- day, October 14 at the Scugog Arena against the Cobourg Cougars. Under new head coach Bob Marquis and assistant Gary Breat- hour, the MoJacks have been grinding it out in training camp which started September 16 with almost 50 players trying for the 17 spots on the squad. By last Sunday night, the numbers had been cut to 25 players, and team officials expect the roster will be trimm- ed further by the end of this week... MoJacks this season have a solid nucleus of players from last year's team to build around, including three first string defensemen. Mike Ryan, a league all-star last season, will be back to help anchor the MoJack blue line corps this year. Rob Malcolm and Rob Nicholson are also wearing the green and gold again. Both these players had fine seasons last year with Malcolm building a reputation as one of the hardest body checkers in the league. Newcomers Brian Stevenson and Ray Meisner are getting a very long look from the coaches in training camp. And Vaughan McKee, who played defense much of last season, could see duty along the blue line again, but coach Marquis so far plans to use him on the forward lines. McKee has size, strength and plenty of hustle. When he parks himself in front of the opposition net, he can make life downright miserable for goal- tenders. The other veteran for- wards returning to the line-up for this season are Jeff Johnstone, Joe Nicholson, Bob Horton and Scott Wallace. Nicholson, Horton and Wallace all have explos- ive offensive abilities, while Johnstone last year proved to be tough in the corners and in a penalty killing role. The MoJacks appear to be solid between the pipes for this season as both netminders from last year, Ken Harman and Clay Lovering, have had good training camps. Paul Goreski and Paul Bateman have been working out in the cage as well. One newcomer who has performed well in training camp has been Bill McGie. He's a forward with good size and a clever puck hand- ler who knows how to pull the trigger around the net. McGie last season played Junior B hockey with Wawa in the northern Ontario loop. The MoJacks this sea- son will be allowed to sign five imports (they were allowed four last year) but gereral man- ager, Murray Parlia- ment says the team probably won't use all five import cards until later in the season. He says the team this year is also concentrat- ing on signing players to the roster who will be able to play game in and game out. The one exception may be Bob Horton. He will have trouble making all the games because he works steady nights, but he's such a talented and valuable player that he can help the club even if he can't suit up on a regular basis. The MoJacks so far for this season, it will be consistency. Last year, the team got off to a jack-rabbit start, but then tailed off after Christmas to finish fifth overall with an 18-11-5 PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, Oct. 2, 1984 -- 25 Bowmanville in the opening round of the playoffs. With Stouffville and Bewdley no longer hav- ing teams in the Central Junior C loop, the sche- cut to 28 games, down from 36 last year. MoJacks home games this season will continue to be Sunday evenings at the Scugog Arena. All eight teams will make MolJacks '84 building around solid nucleus new format with each series being a best of seven affair. First home game this year for Port Perry will be Sunday, October 14 at 7:30 against the Cob- record. They lost to dule this year has been the playoffs under the ourg Cougars. Cartwright softball champions have played just one =. =~ * exhibition game, a home ice encounter last Thursday night against the Uxbridge Bruins. MoJacks won this one 7-5. But this week the coaching staff will have ample opportunity to assess the talent on the team under game con- ditions as the MoJacks will play four exhibition matches in five nights against two teams which have always been tough on Port Perry. This Tuesday, Oct- ober 2, MoJacks visit the Bowmanville Eagles, last year's league champs. On Thursday night, October 4, MoJacks will host Lindsay Muskies at the Scugog Arena with game time set for 8:10, and these two teams will go at it again Friday night in Lindsay. MoJacks will wrap up their exhibition - series this coming Sunday night at the Scugog Arena when Bowman- ville pays a visit for a 7:20 match. If there is one thing the MoJacks are looking Durham enrolment up Durham College post- secondary enrolment is up again this Fall. Total students attending Dur- ham is 2,361 for the four post-secondary divis- ions of Applied Arts, Business, Health Sci- ences and Technology. this compares to 2,328 at this time last year. Enrolment in first-year classes numbers 1,392 compared to 1,248 stu- dents last year. There is a slight decrease in second-year registra- tions, with 671 students compared to 701 last year. The decrease re- flects the freeze on first-year enrolment last year because of limited accommoda- tion. There is an increa- se in third-year enrol- ment, with 298 students compared to a 1983 total of 279. Breaking down the number of students by division, this Fall there are 376 in Applied Arts, 1,005 in Business, 361 in Health Sciences and 619 in Technology.
