Seth Gray received the Most Valuable Player award. On Dec. 19 the Legionaires travelled to Peterborough for their second meeting of the year. The first game ended in a tie. When we arrived we were told that the Peterborough team had a record of 30 wins, zero losses, and five ties. That was all the boys needed to hear. Port scored the only goal of the first period, a Scott Jeffrey boomer, unassisted. In the second period Port took a 3-0 lead, Derek Tindall with helper from Adam Hobbs and Adam Jones and then on a pow- erplay, Casey vanSchagen from Adam J. and Derek. Early in the third, Adam H. made it 4-0 with assists to Adam J. and Seth Gray. Late in the period Peter- borough tried to mount a come- back as they scored two quick goals but Adam J. picking up a loose puck created by Jon Froats forechecking, found the empty net for a final 5-2 win. A great game by Shane Savage in goal and our defence; Wyatt, Jeff, Casey and Glenn: also strong forechecking and back- checking by our forwards. On Wednesday, Dec. 22 the Legionaires hosted their annu- al tournament. Eight teams met at the Port Perry arena to determine a champion. In Port's first game they met the Cedarhill team from Scar- borough. Cedarhill got on the board just 38 seconds into the game with a breakaway. Just one minute later however, Jon Froats found the mark for his first of the game from Seth Gray and Derek Tindall. At the four minute mark, the same boys did it again from a scramble in front of the net, Jon getting his sec- ond goal of the game. With just over a minute left in the first pe- riod. Wyatt Park passed to Der- ek who made the perfect break- away pass to Seth who with a little shift to his right made no mistake and put Port ahead 3-1. Just under the eight minute mark of the second, Jon re- ceived a pass from Derek and Seth in the corner and made no mistake netting his third of the game. Ahat trick for Jon, way to go! Forty seconds later, Scott Jef- frey scored on a pass from Adam Jones behind the net. An assist also went to Adam Hobbs. Ce- darhill then put on the pressure but were unable to score as Dann Lee was unbeatable on a Cedarhill powerplay and a breakaway. Derek scored Port's sixth goal assisted by Adam J. and Casey vanSchagen to end the second period. In the third Cedarhill finally found the mark on a 2-1, their last goal of the game. Near the end of the period the Legion- aires scored two goals in 14 sec- onds to put Cedarhill away, the first by Derek from Seth and Jon and the other by Seth from Derek and Wyatt. Final score 8- 2 for the Legionaires. In our second game we met Stouffville. Shane Savage made some great saves in this game and kept Stouffville off the board for a shutout. In the second period Scott found the mark with a nice wrist shot assisted by Adam H. and Glenn McCready. A couple of minutes into the third Adam J. scored with assists again go- ing to Adam H. and Glenn. With 10 seconds left and the StoufYf- ville net empty, Derek put the puck in, assisted by Seth and Jon. Final score 3-0 for Port. Scott Jeffrey, Glenn McCready, (back row) Casey vanSchagen, Derek Tindall, Troy lan Parliament, coach Garry Geer, and coach Legionnaires win home tour The third, and hardest game of the day was against Peterbo- rough for the championship. The Legionaires had beat them on their ice on Sunday. Could they do it again? This game proved to be end to end hockey with lots of hard hitting. Half- way through the first period Derek wrapped the puck around and in behind the Peter- borough netminder, assisted By Jon and Seth. At 5:56 in the second, Peter- borough tied the scere. Several minutes later Port scored but " PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, December 29,8893 - 25 'Bantams bow ou: in tournament fina The Port Perry Country Style Donuts Bantam Ones hosted a Christmas tournament on Dec. 23.

Please bear with this article as an amateur writer has tried to write a little Christmas poet- ry to get into the festive season, so Merry Christmas. : The Christmas cheer was start- ed with Lindsay. Santa didn't give us any goals to win-say. We lost the game two to zero. This time even Rudolph couldn't have been the hero. Blades scolded and jeered to play the next game with heart. . In the dressing room these words were said just before the start. "On Murphy, On Smitty, Brownson and Trick, Lairdy, Fitzpatrick, Hunter and Bic. On Morden, On Smith, Gray and Tornado. Heffern, Logan, Ennis and Norton. Out to the hallway and onto the ice! Now skate and hit and do every- thing right! We 'were up against the Brighton Boosters. Adam Hunt- er scored first making us squawk like roosters. Hunter's elves, Norton and Tim, helped out as expected. It was a mighty fine goal, that was putin the net. The Brighton Boosters were plenty upset. Then we stopped skating and we stopped hitting. We were do- the goal was called back and the -score remained tied until 1:27 when Seth split the Peterbo- rough defence and rifled one in, assists going to Jon and Scott. With only 20 seconds left in the period, Port had another goal. called back. The Nationals fought right back on a breaka- "way but were robbed by Shane. The third period was rough with no scoring by either team (good work by Casey, Glenn, Wyatt and Jeff Ashton) until ing nothing right. The Boosters then gave us a gift, just to even things éf. At the end it was tieddetting us Ray for the consolatioienp. e had to-play an lent team from Bracebridge; They had the.lead when Hunter had the puck. He passed it to Gray as I remember. Gray gave a pass to Tim. (an it was an ex- tremely beautiful pass Gray dished out, just like the ones seen in the NHL). I then heard an enormous clatter. I looked to- wards the net to see what was the matter. Tim scored! He scored! A beauty goal I say! All because of the help from Hunter and of course that extremely life-threatening pass * from Gray. . vo Bracebridge scored 7 three more goals before the third. Lo- - gan gave one back saying "It's better to give than to receive, I heard." Texas Tornado Tommy T.C. Chambers picked up the assist. The final score of the gai was Bracebridge 4 - Port Perry A specjal thanks goes to the Port Perry Modacks for lending their headquarters for the day. One Christmas wish was quot- ed during the tourney. Lenny Johnston was reported as saying, "I really hope that Santa Claus will be able to bring me a new knee so that I 'tan play hockey with the guys again. If not though I'm just wishing for all the best in the last half of the hockey season and playoffs." = nament 0:41, with the Peterborough net empty. Troy Campbell put the icing on the cake, assisted by Ian Parliament and Casey. The Legionaires had defeated 'the Nationals for the second time by a score of 3-1 and won their first tournament. Our penalty killers Danny Lyons, Adam H., Troy and Ian did a very good job throughout the tournament. MVP for the cham- pionship game was Seth Gray, a ~ell deserved award.
