Malmont Atoms knock On a very frosty Feb. 5, the Malmont Farm Atom As complet- ed their playoff resurgence as they travelled to Lindsay and captured a 4-2 series win on the strength of a 2-1 victory there. This was their third consecutive win over Lindsay and excel- lent penalty killing was the key to their win as they had to deal with a 9-3 imbalance in penalties. D'Arcy Stephens was un- beatable until the third period when Lindsay finally capital- 1zed on one of the four penalties called against us in this period. Jamie Smith gave his team a very quick start as he blocked a clearing pass and found himself face to face with the Lindsay goalie with just 13 seconds gone in the game. He beat the goalie on the glove side. Our only other goal of the game was by Dean Van Camp who was set up nicely by linemate Adam Moynes who had received a pass from Mike LeFort. Defenceman Dane Gray made several good coverup plays to deny Lindsay chanc- Congratulations go to the coaches and all the players on win- ning their first playoff round.

The first game, against a Whitby Novice team, was played in the morning in Little Britain. It was a close- checked game and both teams created several scoring opportu- nities.

Kurtis Wagar and Scott Hon- ey were both sharp in net. With the support of their defence, Gordon Smith, Justin Shinn, Ryan Hnatko and Justin Koury, they allowed Whitby only one goal.

Final score 8-0 Bradford. Ever since the injury to Sean McEnaney, this team shows lit- tle resemblance to the team that lost just two league games all season. The leadership qual- ity that Sean brought to the team, not only on the ice but also in the dressing room, have not been picked up by anyone, and is clearly evident by the ef- fort on theice. With the absence of Jody Lo- gan, Todd Smart, Darrell Vand- er Slagt, and of course Sean McEnaney, this team seems frustrated, confused and disor- ganized as to what to do out on the ice. With so many key players out of the lineup, the coaching staff have been forced to shuffle the lines numerous ways to try to get some spark into the team, but nothing seems to work. The coaching staff have tried to get this team motivated but at this age and with little time for prac- tice, self-motivation has to come from within themselves if they ever hope to get by Bradford and into the semi-finals. However, we have beaten stronger teams this year with good old fashioned hustle and if we could get that back and the right attitude, we could easily grab the next five points and say goodbye to Bradford. The next game in this series goes Thursday night Feb. 9 at 9:15p.m. In game two their opponents were Bramp- ton. Dillian Weber opened the scoring early in the game on an unassisted goal. Brampton tied it up just a few minutes later, then took a 2-1 lead. Scott Sanderson tied it up on a goal assisted by Campbell and Dave Ka- minga. The second period saw Doug Short put up some excellent goaltending to keep the score 2- 2. Among some of his great saves was a Bramp- ton penalty shot but the Brampton player could not find an opening with Shortin there. Scott Sanderson got the game winner early in the third assisted by Ryan Puckrin. The Techstars next victim was Stoney Creek in the tournament's championship game. Puckrin opened the scoring midway through the first assisted by Campbell. Stoney Creek tied it at 1-1 early in the sec- ond. Troy Campbell gave them a 2-1 lead assisted by Sanderson and Weber. Stoney Creek tied it up again midway through the second. Dan Lyons ended the second with a 3-2 lead Uxbridge tied it up early in the second at one all. Ian Parliament gave them a 2-1 lead and the Techstars never looked back. That goal was as- sisted by Sanderson and Gainey. Weber made it 3-1 less than 50 seconds later assisted by Baxter and Campbell. Puckrin made it 4-1 as Weber's shot deflected off his knee and in. Dave Gainey also assisted on this one. Late in the second, Puckrin took a pass from Sanderson and went in alone to make it 5-1. That one was on an Uxbridge power play. In the third Campbell added two more, one from Gainey and Baxter and the other from San- derson and Copeland toend it 7-1. Paul Shrigley played a great game for the Techstars in goal. The Techstars showed some good discipline as the Uxbridge players got a little dirty knowing their season was over and wanted to fight, but due to some good discipline, no one (on the Tech- stars) got tossed. The Techstars next victim in playoff action is Trenton. We'll keep you posted on home game times.
