It was great to see Dean Van Camp back in the lineup again after a speedy recovery from his sur- gery. ~ ModJacks pick up seven points in five games By Wally Donaldson with what [I've seen," beamed Keith Leslie, the overager bridge and Lakefield. peated the process with just Bobcaygeon has finally dis- covered a way to put some pop into their Bullets for the first time in their brief tenure within the Central Ontario Junior C Hockey League confines. But they still haven't been able to pull the trigger on the Port Perry ModJacks. With each team playing three games 1n as many nights, the Modacks outgunned the Bullets 8-5 last Sunday night, giving them an impressive seven of 10 points during a busy portion of their schedule over a 10 day pe- riod. Modacks ran their record to 5- 2-2 on the heels of a 10-5 thump- ing admimistered to the lowly Chiefs in Lakefield last Tues- day, a 5-4 win I'riday in Lake- field, a 2-1 setback in Lattle Brit- ain Saturday, capped by the decision over Bullets on home 1ce. 'I'm more than encouraged Port Perry skipper Chic Carne- : A "yy . gie on Sunday. "The rookies are scoring, the checkers are check- ing and we're getting a lot of goals." Which 1s fortunate, Rick Hutchinson and Paul Roberts have been sharing the netmind- ing duties - the latter nailing down his first win in Lakefield. Ironically, Hutchinson sports a modest goals - against average better than five. A concern in most cases. However, the spint- ed puckstopper has been aided by a plethora of goals at the oth- er end of the ice and has yet to record a loss with four wins and ate. "It's kind of odd that at the start of the year, I said we'd be in a lot of 2-1 and 3-2 games." cays Carnegie with a laugh. 71 thought defence would be a strongpoint. But I'll take the wins, no matter how we get them." with a keen smell for finding the gap around an opposing net, leads the ModJacks with 11 goals on the year. Interestingly, seven of those have been on the power- play, including two of his tallies last Sunday. Linemate Steve Barkwell also scored twice with singles from Chris Foster, Du- ane Empringham and Ryan Ridgway. "This 1s my last year, so | want to come out of this with something," says Leslie, ac- knowledging Port Perry's bid for a league title falling shy in the final during the previous three seasons. "IT think we're the most solid team around." ModJacks were hard pressed by a vastly improved Bullets contingent heightened by a new coach. Jason Stahlbaum, and an overall abundance of talent from goaltending out. Bobcay- seon has scored wins over Ux: "They are a nice team to play against," confirms Carnegie. "They play like Campbellford (of the eastern Ontario league). It's not goon hockey, more up and down. A pleasure to watch." Bullets twice had a lead on the ModJacks during the earlier stages and relied heavily on the netminding wizardry of Willy VandenOtellaar, a lanky sort who capitalized on his versatili- ty from post to post. However, he was also guilty on a few soft shots and was replaced by Jus- tin Rowden following Port Perry's sixth goal midway through the third. Derek Ellery notched two goals for the Bullets. Paul Flint, Tim Pearson Duane Falls added one apiece before Stahlbaum went in search of further goals by yanking his goalie with 7:50 still showing on the clock. THe re- over three minutes remaining and was burned on Barkwell's empty-net marker with 1:17 left Lo play. WALLY WORLD - Leslie and Empringham had two goals each in Lakefield with singles from Todd Dennis, Barkwell, Todd Stirling, Mike Pigeau, Foster and Brian McArthur. Leslie, Kenton Lefort, Empring- ham, Matt Pyke and Pigeau scored in Bobcaygeon. Barkwell was the only Port Perry scorer in Little Britain. LeFort came out of the game with pulled stomach muscles on Sunday. Pyke was not dressed due to a personal commitment.ModJacks are in Georgina Friday night but will find themselves short on the bench due to a school commencement. They entertain the Uxbridge Bruins on Sunday at Scugog Arena, starting at 7 p.m. ----------
