Grimsby struck early and scored on their first two shots on net to set the tone on their way to a 4-0 win over a rusty looking Port squad. A deflec- tion/miscommunication be- tween a defender and our goalie resulted in a 3-0 first period de- feat for our team. Ryan Fraser was undoubtedly feeling safer on the bench at this point and Chris Thompson came on to guard our net. In the second period, the Doors regroupéd somewhat and had a few scoring chances of their own. Scott Cunningham and Wade Ritchie had a good chance while Murphy Irvine and Chris Jones had good shots from the point.

After some in- credible saves by Shane Fis- cher, the visiting team was able to sneak one past to end the pe- riod 3-1. Hespeler came on stropg in the second and third periods, forcing our defensive team of Michael Thompson and Dylan Harper to come up with some quick moves. Wes Langmaid made some dandy passes in our .end to keep the quick pace. Gerrard Timmers scored number four, assisted by David Halward, early in the third peri- od, followed by a quick Hespeler goal. Joe Schembri made some spectacular offensive moves, setting up the play at every op- portunity. A super goal by Geoff Simp- son, put in motion by Trevor Robins and Gerrard Timmers. Dylan Harper took advantage of the action in front of the Hes- peler net to make it a final score of 6-2. The highlight of the game saw Glen Thompson meeting the Hespeler goalie in a super penalty shot. Our team mascot, baby Brad- ley, continues to give this team good luck. 2 glove save by D'Arcy. Malmont bows out The Malmont Atom As were under the gun on March 4, as they travelled to their Alliston opponent's home rink. Alliston held a 2-0 playoff series edge and were able to withstand nu- merous shorthanded situations to win the game 7-4. In the process, the Malmont's bowed out of the OMHA playoffs thanks to this team for the second consecutive year. After killing off an early penalty in the first period, the Green Machine capitalized on their first power play thanks to Steve MacLennan's high wrist shot. Less than a minute later Allis- ton tied the score when a player was leftun By the end of the first period, Alliston led 3-1 despite several good saves by Port goalie D'Arcy Stephens. Early in the second, we couldn't score on a two man advantage. Dean Van Camp did bring us to 3-2 with a rebound goal and an assist was earned by .. Mark Duncan (Little Dunc). Later, in the second we had yet an- other two man advantage but we were torpedoed by big No. 12 who found himself all alone in our high slot area to score a shorthanded marker. This essentially iced the game for our the game go for nought. Jeff Tarbotton did score near the end (assist by Scott Duncan...Big Dunc) when D'Arcy was sitting with the coaches. At the very end of the game. Dean picked up *. his second goal with a backhander and Alliston put one into our empty net. One defensive highlight of the period was a "replay" All in all, it was apparent that Alliston deserved to move on to the finals and we wish them luck as they stand to win their second consecutive championship. All of the Port players as well as their coaches can hold their rded in front. couldn't convert a three-on-one opportunity. he third period featured a couple of good glove saves by Chris T. and a partial breaka- way by Kam Cooper. Port's power play efforts were anemic throughout the game as we were "0 for" on these oppor- tunities. The Grimsby squad crashed many of our smaller players onto the ice and into the boards at every opportunity to control the corners and the boards. On March 11, the Doors were again slammed by Grimsby with a 4-1 margin this time. This game was on a smaller Grimsby ice surface where the well-coached squad bottled up all the passing lanes and used their good checking techniques to even greater advantage. By the end of the first, Grims- by were up 2-0 as the Port players were continually dump- ing the puck back onto the Grimsby sticks and not lifting the puck over the Grimsby goal- ie when we occasionally had chances on their net. In the second period, despite the Grimsby onslaught, Port fi- nally scored their first goal of the series as Chris Jones car- Grimsby has Doormen on the ropes ried the puck out of his zone and passed to Matt McMaster who in turn relayed to Scott Brown- son. Scott beat the goaler on a wrist shot. | Part of the game story again was an unproductive 0-for-6 power play. Chris Thompson again made some point blank saves in the Port net, especially in the second period, when the defence was looking fatigued. A marked improvement in passing and back checking by the forwards and keeping the puck in the Grimsby zone will necessary to turn this series around and averta 3-0 sweep. ed The second week of playoffs for the Novice House League had some very exciting games.

Michael Redman played very well on defense in the first period for the Printing team. In the second period Adam Smart made some great moves on defense and Gary Penstone had some good stick checks in his defensive posi- tion. Both goalies, Kellen Jackson for PPP and Sam Bennett for Haugens shone in this period as there was no scoring in the second until less than two minutes to go when Kevin Gloster scored on a backhand with the assist going to Craig Simmonds and Billy Britt. This line played well throughout the entire game and passed the puck extremely well. . Within a few seconds of this goal Matt Kam- minga scored another goal to keep the game at a three goal spread for the Haugens team. Going into the third period it looked like the Haugens team was going to take home the win. However, the Printing team did not give up and started buzzing around the net. Sammie had to come up with numerous stops to keep his team on top. Early in the period Justin Sanders had a breakaway and Sammie came up big with a great pad save. Haugens picked up a tripping penalty which PPP capitalized on. Within 10 seconds Chris Jackson took a quick wrist shot that went in on the glove side. Jon Breen picked up the assist. The action heated up a bit as this goal seemed to spur the Printing boys on. Craig Sim- monds looked like he was going to notch a goal for PPP as the puck was rolling past the goal- tender, however Darren Black on defense got to the puck in time and tucked it back into Sam's pads. hosts. 'With less than five minutes to go Jon Breen Jesse Mischtian put the icing on the cake with a Alliston scored three third period goals to our two.

With 2:09 left to go in the game Kevin Gloster made that extra special ef- fort and scored a goal through the legs while on his knees in front of the net. What a great sec- ond effort. The noise in the arena was deafen- ing as this Port Perry Printing team had fought back hard to come from behind. Final score 5-4 Novice house league for PPP. Van Camp and Re/Max took to the ice for the second game of the day. The first period was more of a defensive effort as the goalies and de- fensemen played very well for both teams. Ryan Hockley hase goal for Re/Max in this period and Tyler Wehb was the goalie for the Van Camp team. Maggie Robbins, Mitchell Sauder and Robbie Waller all played well for the Re/Max team in this period. Stephan Groves played his defen- sive position well for the Van Camp team. The line of Mark Vernest, Troy Johnston and Ryan O'Leary passed the puck very well in this peric and had a few scoring chances. At the 1:50 mark of the period Van Camp broke the gqose egg as Jesse Mischtian scored unassisted. - The second period was evenly played as both teams passed the puck well and the goalies came up with some good stops.

Matt Menear for Van Cam great hustle in this period and Russell Jackson had a steady period at the blue line. Van Camp went out in front 2-0 with less than three minutes to go in the period when the Re/ Max goalie got caught out of the net and Ryan | O'Leary tucked one away with the assist going to Matt Whalen. However, 45 seconds later Re/Max answered back when Scott Lennox took a hard shot along the ice to beat the goalie on his glove side. Rob- bie Waller and Clay Trainor set Scott up with a couple of perfect passes. The first 12 minutes of the third period the ac- tion went back and forth.
