-, 22 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 3, 1990 Napanee advances to Ontario semi-finals by John B. McClelland The Port Perry MoJacke ran out of magic Sunday night at the Scugog Arena as the Na- panee Raiders clipped them 5-1 to win the Ontario Junior C quarter final series four games to two. The previous night in Na- anee, the Raiders nipped the oJacks 3-2 to take a ingames in the series. In both games, the Mo- Jacks had more than their share of scoring chances, but time after time, they were foiled by Raider netminder Lonnie Lewis who came up with key stops, and had "Lady Luck" rid- ingin his hip:pocket as well. Napanee Saturday: night, the teams were tied 2-2 going into the third period and it was Raider sniper Shane Ho- skin who potted the winner ia-ay through the third peri- Warreen Geer and Steve Connors did the scoring for the MoJacks, who out-shot the Raiders 32-23. And in the deciding game Sunday night in Port Perry, it was the speedy Hoskin who was a one-man wrecking crew with three goals including a short- handed marker early in the sec- ond that really took the wind out ofthe MoJack sails. ModJacks opened the scor- ing in the first minute of the game as John Harman was set up by linemate Brad Menzies, and it looked like the MoJacks might be off and running with momentum they had lost after winning the first two games in the series. But it was not to be. The Raiders showed a lot of grit and patience. Aaron Uens tied things up at the 44 sec. mark of the second on a power play. And four minutes later, it was Hoskin with his short- handed marker that proved to be the eventual game winner. MoJacks had several power play chances in the second peri- od, and despite some concen- trated pressure were not able to get the old disc behind Lewis. And with 12 seconds left in the period, Hoskin broke clear again to beat Tony Sortino on a breakaway and give his team a 3-1lead. Randy Holmes made it 4-1 early in the third on yet another breakaway as the ModJacks were caught "pinching" in the Raider zone, and Hoskin with his hat trick rounded out the scoring at 3:66 as the MoJacks had two men in the penalty box. Certainly the turning point in this came in the second, when MoJacks were unable to capital- ize on the their power play chances. They were firing the puck right at Lewis, and several times the disc rolled just wide or flipped high over the cage. It was one of those nights for the n and white. FINAL SLAPSHOTS: With a break of two in either weekend , the MoJacks could easily ave forced a seventh and do- ciding match this Wed. night in Napanee. But the turning pointin the Thrilling -2 lead } The hockey season for the Port Perry Modacks came to a sudden stop Sunday night at the Scugog Arena as Napan- ee Ralders won the game and the series to advance to the all-Ontario Junior C semi-finals against Orangeville. The Ralders took full advantage of the scoring chances when they had them for a 5-1 win, while the MoJacks were folled time after time by goalie Lonnie Lewis. And the scoring touch left the MoJacks Saturday night in Napanee as they " series was back in games three and four. After taking a 2-0 lead in games, MoJacks seemed to lose the momentum and they never got it back. Give the Raiders a lot of credit for their series victory. They proved to be a well- balanced hockey club, very tough in their own zone, and certainly had the hot goal- tending when it counted most. And for a team that was not supposed to have speed, it was just that which defeated Mo- Jacks Sunday night as Hoskin and Uens used the fast break to score three goals. MoJacks out-shot the visi- tors 34-19 in the final game, and perhaps they know how the Bowmanville Eagles felt in the last series when Tony Sortino performed goal-tending mira- cles. Raiders will now meet the Orangeville Stone Crushers in the all-Ontario semi-finals. Everyone connected with the club was bitterly disap- pointed following the loss Sun- day night in front of another large crowd at the Scugog Are- na. And guys like John Har- man, Len Giacalone, Rob Met- calfe, Dave Burnett and others who will be over-age next sea- son, had to be hurting badly when the final buzzer sounded. Despite the loss, the 1989- 90 season should be considered a success for the club. The team finished a solid season ends for MoJacks way things went for the green and white Sunday evening, as Lewis smothers a rebound and there are lots of black jer- seys helping out. Despite the disappointing end Sunday ;, night, the season has to be considered a success for the Port Perry Junior C squad who provided their fans with many thrilling hockey moments this winter. {see story and comments) second, had an easy time with Ajax in the first playoff series, then provided their fans with many thrilling moments in the series with Uxbridge and Bow- manville, both of which went the distance. And Brad Menzies was named the Jog. MVP against some pretty to competition. Nobody could quibble with that honour for the "Chief." Coaches Ken Harman and Garnet Warriner deserve a lot of credit for the success this sea- son. It's not an easy job han- dling 20 young hockey players from September through to April. The hours are long, the pay is lousy. They did a fine job, and hopefully both will be back for another season.
