The club held a learn to row demonstration at the Kinsmen Beach last week, helping to raise awareness of their organization. Currently the club has 20 members, more than half of which are Port Perry residents. The club, whose members are mostly high school age girls, has become increasingly popular among the oot rE aes Durham Rowing Club member Tracy Hodge aids Scugog Chamber | she of Commerce director Craig Taylor during the club's learn to row day last week. See story for more details. teenagers. With the success of such women athletes as Sylkin Lauman, the sport has become increasingly popular. Today 62 per cent of all rowers in Ontario are female. Port Perry member Tracy Hodge has been rowing with the club for two years and said would recommend the sport to anyone, calling challenging. it fun and During the summer the girls train at six. in the mornings. Head coach Jeanette Lunenborg says getting teenage girls out of bed that early to row, proves they must really like the sport. Some of the rowing club's alumni have continued rowing along with their education. Port Perry residents Deanna Hollister and Joanna Eddy are currently rowing at Carlton and Queens University, respectively. The club wants to expand its membership, but cannot without the shellhouse. Last year the club had several giris on a waiting list and is expecting the same response next season. Without the shellhouse it cannot expand its fleet or its membership, its executive says. The club has been supplied land for the storage facility, by the township. The shellhouse will be built north of the boat launch parking lot in Rotary Park. The members of the club are currently seeking funds to help build the $60,000 shelter and docks, of which one third will be funded through a provincial grant. Malmont Atoms split a pair of league matches Despite the NHL being out of action, fans can still see some exciting hockey at our own rink. Once again, our "A' Atoms are competing in the "Lakeshore League" and the early indica- tions are that we should be able to give most of our opponents an inhospitable welcome when they visit here! Once again, Te- resa 'Hutchinson will be in charge of bringing out the best in her group of six "minor" and 10 "major" atoms. Bill Van Camp and Doug Moynes return as her assistants. : On Oct. 15, the Malmont squad hosted Trenton. Our boys started off a "barn-burner" game on a goal by Trevor Weis- flock from Adam Moynes and Dane Gray. Shortly thereafter, Port had a power play and Dean Van Camp had a good chance af- ter a setup from Tim Jones and Mike LeFort. Then Mark Dun- can broke in on right wing for a good chance and Jeff Tarbotton was doing some excellent fore- checking. With 17 seconds left in the first period, Trenton tied the score at one all, off a back- hand shot against goalie Mike Koury. In the second, Trenton jumped ahead 2-1 by taking ad- vantage of a two-on-one situa- tion around the net. Then Jeff Tarbotton scored from Trevor Lance and Mike LeFort convert- ed a nice pass from Dean Van Camp for a 3-2 Port lead. On a power play, Dean scored from the top of the circle on a low screened shot. Mike Koury kept -our lead at this point with good saves off another two-on-one and a breakaway. Our defen- sive coverage went through some early season breakdowns and resulted in some additional Trenton goals, including one unfortunate deflection off Steve MacLennon's helmet. The "Green Machine" recov- ered to a 5-5 tie when Jeff Tar- botton deflected a shot by fellow rookie Justin Moffatt. On a late period power play, our guys went ahead 6-5 on a nice pass from Dean Van Camp to Tim Jones to Trevor Lance. In the third, Trevor Lance pounced on a rebound for a 7-5 lead. Jaimie Smith foiled a two- on-one chance while Tyler Hou- thuys and Steven MacLennan tied up players in front of the net as Trenton poured on the pressure. They broke through for their sixth goal off a rebound but we held on for our 7-6 victo- ry. Scott Duncan got the nod for "Best Effort" for the Malmonts in this game for Port. On Oct. 16 it was our turn to go on the road as we went to Belleville. Traditionally, our teams haven't had much luck there and this game was no ex- ception as we were on the short end of a 7-3 loss. Belleville took advantage of a poor clearing effort to break the icc 1-0. Shortly after, our power play did a nice job of controlling the puck and resulted in two hard shots from our pointmen. We tied the game at 1-1 when Dane Gray converted after find- Turnto Page 17 By David Stell The Port Perry ModJacks had a busy weekend in Jr. C action this past week. But it wasn't all good news for the Port Perry squad. The good news is the Mo- Jacks extended their unbeaten streak to four with a win in Lit- tle Britain on Saturday night. The bad news is the streak ended at home the following night when the Lakefield Chiefs handed the ModJacks their first loss of the season. Back-up goalie, James Pa- terson started his first game of the season for the ModJacks Sunday night. It was a tough way to start the season though because the MoJacks seemed to be asleep in the first period. The team didn't answer their alarm clocks until the second period, and woke up to find the Chiefs had built a 3-0 lead. The slow pace of the game changed at 8:10 of the first pe- riod when Chad Kearns was penalized for cross checking. The Chiefs showed they were awake and scored 23 seconds later. Jeff Gaskell of the Chiefs lifted a shot past Paterson for a 1-0 lead. With Kearns penalty over, Port Perry was still asleep on the ice. The Chiefs continued to pressure the Mo- Jack net immediately after their first goal. It paid off only 11 seconds later when Scott Hartwick scored for Lakefield. Adding insult to injury, the Chiefs scored their third goal of the game with only 46 sec- onds left in the period. It was a flukey goal that Randy DeCar- lo scored from beside the net with a shot off Paterson's back. Somehow the puck found the corner of the net and the Chiefs went to the dressing room with a 3-0 lead. Port Perry seemed to have scored their first of the game when a scramble in front of the net allowed Ian Titterton to push a puck past Brent Halli- day, the Chief's netminder. The referee however lost sight of the puck and had whistled the play dead, seconds before it had gone in the net. The Mo- Jacks waited for another chance to score and with 4:11 left in the period. Mike Pigeau worked a pass over to Keith Leslie comingin from the right wing that the big centre put up over Halliday to make the score 3-1. A nice play by Dalton O'Neill, with just under a min- ute left in the period, gave him a break-away which he buried high on Paterson's glove side tomakeit4-1. Port Perry would still make up some ground in the period though when Pigeau scored with three seconds left. The goal was a highlight for the ModJacks. Pigeau fighting for room in front of the net was pushed to the ice by the Lake- field defence. On his stomach Pigeau was still able to take a pass from Todd Stirling that he pulled across the crease and lifted over a surprised Halli- day. 5 Mike Pigeau Unfortunately that was as close as Port Perry would come to the Chiefs. Three minutes into the third period, MoJack captain Gavin Cochrane, gave Brennan Lawrence of the Chiefs an elbow that put Co- chrane in the penalty box. Lakefield used the power play to regain their three goal ad- vantage and O'Neill scored his second of the game. O'Neill completed his hat trick less than three minutes later when he was allowed to skate from behind the net, avoiding a sprawling poke MoJack win streak snapped at four check from Paterson. O'Neill was left with an easy goal into the empty net. The Modack's Trevor Bremner scored Port Perry's fi- nal goal. He found the corner of the net on a nice wrist shot from the slot. Kevin McDonald and Jeremy Ross drew assists on the goal. Paterson has potential to be a strong goaltender at the Jr. C. level but just couldn't han- dle the pressure Lakefield was allowed to throw at him in the game. He won't be dwelling on this game though. Asked if he would like to be able to play the game again Paterson said, "I would love to." He's also looking forward to getting back on the ice. © "If I have to wait long to get back in there I might get the first game )itters again," Pa- terson said. "But that's up to the coach. I just want to be able to keep the team in it when I'm out there." Coach Brad Menzies wasn't concerned with the first loss of the season. "You never like to lose any game," he said. "We didn't de- serve a win, so if we're going to lose, it might as well be this one. Bremner's goal was his first of the season and he feels that he knows his role on the team. "I'm on the checking line out there," he said. "I got a lot of ice time tonight and my line is really coming together. Jamie More is a damn good centre and he wins a lot of draws." The dressing room was pret- ty loose after their first loss though. It showed when Pater- son overheard an interview with Bremner. He feels that the Star should do well this week. Trevor Bremner "The Star will sell more pa- rs than anyone this week," aterson said. "He'll (Bremn- er) buy all of them when he sees his name in there." The MoJacks play their next four games on the road and re- turn to Port Perry Sunday, Oct. 30 for a game with the Bowmanville Eagles.
