ie Ce J pd ree RR ATR yo "A Family Tradition for 128 Years" Country Style Bantams put on quite a show On Oct. 24, the Port Perry Country Style Donut Bantams, played host to the Bantam Lindsay Bears. We weren't very gra- cious to our guests, blowing them out of the arena. We truly send out our apologies to the Lindsay squad. Port Perry scored first with Motor City Smitty beating the goalie high. Smitty really has the wheels. He can fly! Hobbsy struck next, with a bad angled slap shot. Hobbs can score from anywhere! Casey Van Shagen assisted Adam with a fine pass. Boy, were we ready to play tonight, or what? Assistant captain, Mike Morden scored next to bring the score to three - nil. Shaggy scored the final goal of the period with a ripper from the point. Norton setup Van Shagen. Norty must have compound eyes, because I've never seen.anyone pass like he can. Our only goal of the second period was from J ay Strickert:> Jay, his linemates Scott Heffern and Shane Norton, took the moves out of their pockets and put on a show, with a three on two rush. Bowango! Lindsay's only goal came in the second when they finally managed to beat Johnston between the pipes. Kent played an amazing game in the cage, stopping 38 blis- tering shots and only allowing one. What's the real reason Johnston and Savage stand in and let pucks bounce off their bodies? Is it to satisfy the fans? Both play great game after game. Way to go fellas! Strickert scored his second goal of the night early in the third, with Heffern and Norton assisting him once again. Jay's a sniper! He blasted a shot over Lindsay goalie, Jason Grahm's shoulder. Grahm relieved Lindsay's starting goalie Ryan Ste- phens, who was smart enough to leave after seeing the force of Port's offensive talent. This was another great effort by the en- tire team, defensively as well as offensively. Wyatt Park was up with the team once again, helping out in the absence of Rob Murphy. Fans, if you missed this one be- cause oflack of time, or whatever, did you ever miss a treat! This week's player profile is on second year winger, Mike Morden, Mike, who wears number six, is a big, rugged player who has great hands. Mike's biggest asset is probably his slap- shot, which was clocked at 84 mph at last week's practice. He's been known to shatter glass with that cannon of his. Mike wants to let the hockey fans of Port Perry know that "The Coun- try Style Donut Bantams are a thrill to play on, and I'm sure that we're great entertainment. If you haven't come to one of our games yet, you're really missing out. It's a great family out- ing." Support your local community. I'm sure that you know someone on the team. and watch some great hockey. Come on out on Monday nights at 7:30 p.m. to Scugog Arena Malmont Atom As busy, but squad wins three straight The Malmont Farms A team had a very busy weekend that included a home game, a bus trip to Haliburton, a road game in Woodville and a practice in Little Britain! The players came out of the weekend still with some energy, I'm not sure about the parents, though. Friday night our boys started their weekend on a successful note when they hosted a good skating, disciplined Peterbo- rough Nationals team. This game proved to be action- packed with the score changing frequently. Our Port Perry boys came out flying and just 15 sec- onds into the game, Trevor Weisflock got a breakaway pass from Adam Moynes, right off the faceoff and Trevor made no mistake in putting Port on the board first. However, we were not alone on the board long as Peterbo- rough capitalized on a couple of defensive lapses to rack up two goals and end the first, leading 2-1. Port Perry pressed hard, starting the second. The Peter- borough goalie made some good saves on a wicked wrist shot by Dean Van Camp and good chances by Jeff Tarbotton and Trevor Lance. Unfortunately, as so often happens when a team presses, Peterborough stole the puck and scored their third goal oni a breakaway to end the second ahead 3-1. Our boys didn't give up though and came out working hard in the third. They were re- warded when Jeff Tarbotton scored on a pass from Trevor Lance and Tim Jones. Port con- tinued to keep the pressure on, keeping the puck in Peterbo- rough's end and defenceman Tim Jones shot from the point and Dane Gray deflected the shot past the goalie to put Port within one. This seemed to give our As more energy and shortly after Jeff Tarbotton scored again (with assists to Trevor Lance and Justin Moffatt) to give us thelead 4-3. Dean Van Camp ran the score up to 5-3 on a short-handed goal. Jamie Smith and goalie D'Arcy Stephens got the assists. Late in the third, Peterborough added another goal to bring them to 5-4 and despite pulling their goalie in favor of an extra attacker, could not get the tying marker. Goalies D'Arcy Ste- phens and Mike Koury shared in the win and Jamie Smith was chosen for "Best Effort". The next day, Saturday, Oct. 29, our Atom As travelled by bus to Haliburton to take on the Haliburton Muskies in an exhi- bition game. The As, accompa- nying parents and coach had a great time travelling in style by ' Turnto Page 22 "KELLY LOWN/PORT PERRY STAR The 12-year-old boys cross country team from R.H.

ModJdacks seek revenge on the Eagles and they get it By David Stell Now that's hockey! The Port Perry MoJacks and the Bowmanville Eagles met up for the second time in a week, Sunday night, but the slumping MoJacks were ready for the Eagles this time. After losing last Sunday to the Eagles, and losing back to back road games this past Friday and Saturday night, the MoJacks came home looking like an easy mark for the first place Eagles. But the MoJacks surprised everyone and beat the Eagles 5-1. The ModJack's Keith Leslie picked up where he left off last week. He scored two goals last Sunday against the Eagles but the MoJacks lost 5-4. This week Leslie scored the first goal of the game half-way through the first period and it held up as the only goal of the period. There were 10 penalties in the period with fast and hard hitting hockey that has become a trademark for games between these two teams. In the second period it only took the Eagles two minutes to get past Rick Hutchinson to tie the game. But that would prove to be the only goal to get by him Sunday. He shut the "Eagles down the rest of the way. At 4:43 in the second, the ModJacks Paul Kelly put the team ahead for good. He scored on a scramble in front of Barry Crawford, the "| Eagles netminder. At one point Crawford was flat out on the ice and the puck came to a stop in front of the goal line. Kelly didn't waste the chance putting his team up 2-1. A fight fired up the intensity level in the game when Stephen Laird found himself pushed towards the Eagles' net at 16:16 of the second. Dave Real moved in to clear Laird out of Crawfords way but both players ended up grabbing each other's facemask. The linemen came in to KEITH LESLIE TODD DENNIS break up the fight, but they had their hands full with these two. All four men ended up falling to the ice, and it looked like a game of twister. The linesmen had the pair wrapped up but couldn't hold them. Real ended up throwing more cheap shots with Laird tangled up. After the referee finally pulled everyone apart, Real ripped off his jersey, and reacting to the jeering crowd, pulled off his twisted jersey and acknowledged the fans with a bow that would have made hockey celebrity Don Cherry proud, except that the fight itself was more of a wrestling match. The two players went to the dressing room, but Crawford was given a penalty for roughing that gave the MoJacks a powerplay. Port Perry used the advantage to put the pressure on, and it paid off when Todd Dennis scored his first of the game. Leslie, from in front of the net, made a nice pass back to Dennis at the point. He took the pass and fired a slapshot that beat a screened Crawford and made the score 3-1. The MoJacks continued to dominate the game in the third period. Dennis scored his second of the game in a play that looked familiar to his first goal. He scored on a screened slapshot from the point that Crawford had no chance of stopping to make it 4-1. The final goal of the game came on Leslie's second of the game. It was a power-play goal and it gave the MoJacks their fifth of the game. The third period, and the whole game, was played with hard hitting. Bowmanville's 'frustration was obvious and the MoJacks had to be on the lookout for cheap hits. Kevin Vivian followed in Laird's footsteps and earned an early trip to the dressing room. He dropped the gloves with Paul Gagne of the Eagles with just over five minutes left in the game. The fight didn't last long and neither player could get the upper hand. A 7-2 loss in Uxbridge, and a 2-1 loss in Sutton, put the MoJacks in danger of falling to .500 if they lost to the Eagles Sunday. But the rivalry between these two teams was one fenan fos the MoJacks' win. What does MoJack goaltender, Rick Hutchinson, think of the agles? u. hate Bowmanville," he said. "If there's one team in the league I'll play well against, it's that team." ' Turn to Page 22
