The first game was on Dec. 20 against Bobcay- geon in Port with the Is- landers going down to de- feat in this one by a 5-1 count. The game was quite close actually as time and time again the Islander shooters just couldn't get a break while all the bounc- "es seemed to go Bobcay- geon's way. The Islanders beat Bobcaygeons goalie four times cleanly, but three posts and a crossbar don't register on the score- board. The Islanders lone marker came in the third period as Todd Parry cashed in with help from Scott Heffern and Dave Kamminga. Brian Bick- more was in net for the Isles and turned in a strong performance com- ing up with numerous big saves. The Islanders next trav- elled to Minden on Dec. 30 where they turned in a to- tal team effort that result- edin a 5-1 win. The Island- ers were short on players for this game due to previ- ous commitments so they knew that they were all going to have to help to carry the load in this one. The Isles came out tlying in the early going and picked up two quick goals by Adam Smith and then Ryan Puckrin to take a 2-0 "lead. The setup men on these two goals were Matt Phillips and Scott Heffern respectively. Minden made a game of it late in the first period as they notched what turned out to be their only goal of the game to make it a 2-1 game. From this point on thought the Islanders lanky goalie Doug Short turned in probably his best effort of the season as he shut down the Minden shooters the rest of the way. The second period had Port extend their lead as Scott Heffern carried the puck into Minden's end, then laid a soft pass over to Dave "Boomer" Kam- minga who fired one into the top corner to make it a * 3-1game. The Islanders were get- ting pretty leg weary as they had been going with only two lines but Todd Parry showed up for the third period (gotta listen for those time chan Todd) and the frésh legs seemed to pick everyone else up. The Isles added to their lead as Matt Phillips fired one home from Cap- tain Trevor Smith and then Ryan Puckrin salted the game as he picked up his second goal of the game with Todd Parry as- sisting on the play. Final score in this one 5-1 for the Islanders. This game was a well de- served win for the Island- ers as with only ten skat- ers they really had to work hard. Having good times for the Islanders were Adam Hunter, who was playing with the flu so he dropped back to play de- fense and Dave Kammin- ga took his spot on the for- ward line and both played excellent games, Chris Drury and Noah Dorland were a strong duo on the blueline together and Ash- ley Van Shelven was his pesky self getting in Min- den players faces at every chance. The Islanders have two home games this week as on Wednesday, Jan. 3 they play host to Manvers with a 9:15 p.m. start time and then take on Minden on Thursday, Jan. 4 with a «15 p.m. start time. If the Islanders continue to play as they did in their last game these -two games should be real good ones to watch so come on out and support your local Island- ers. KELLY LOWN/PORT PERRY STAR #~ The annual Snowflake Bonspiel was held at the Blackstock Curling Club last week. Carol Gray, president, presents the trophy to the winning rink. Team members are Gerald Kelly, Elaine Kelly, Esther Kelly and Joyce Kelly. The bonspiel was sponored by the club. Bantams in Lindsay tourney It has been a very busy festive season for the Port Perry Country Style Do- nut Bantam #1 team, as they played a home game against Cobourg as well as participating in the Lind- say tournament. The first game was Dee, 18 at the Scugog Arena against those pesky Cou- gars of Cobourg. The boys were out for revenge as Co- bourg has defeated us the last time we met. Right from the drop of the puck you could tell Port were in no mood to hand out early Xmas presents as they powered their way to an early 2-0 lead. Derek Tin- dall and Glenn McCready set the table first for Ian Parliament to bulge the twine of the Cobourg net. Up next was Derek Tin- dall making that red light flash as he scored assisted by Adam Hobbs and Glenn cCready. Cobourg were gi only one Xmas present from the stingy Port defence as they scored late in the period for a 2-1 Port lead after one. - The second continued much the same as the first as Port added two more goals for a convincing 4-1 lead at the end of the sec- ond period. Dillan Weber and Casey Vanschagen scored the goals for Port and were assisted by Der- ek Tindall, Scott Jeffrey and Nick Pelyk. It was a quiet affair in the third period as Port shut down the Cobourg of- fence and finished the game 4-1 winners. Ryan Fraser played a strong game in net for the win. The busy schedule con- tinued on Dec. 27 and 28 as the Country Style Ban- tams travelled to Lindsay to take on all challengers at this tournament. Up first for Port was an en- counter with a team from Pickering.

Perry's remaining Central On- tario Junior C Hockey League Arena - unlike the first-place Uxbridge Bruins who must play the bulk of their games away from the confines of the Ux- | bridge Community Centre. "It's in our favor, that's for sure. I just hope we cdn take ad- vantage of it," said ModJacks' head skipper Chic Carnegie last Saturday night at Scugog Are- na. The ModJacks, on the strength of four answered goals in the visiting Lakefield Chiefs 4-2. It was the capper to a busy Now that a brand new year has arrived, signalling the be- ginning of the ice fishing season on Lake Scugog, the Port Perry ModJacks have set their sights on catching the big one with a On a different type of ice sur- Indeed, the majority of Port games will be played at Scugog second period, turned back the four games in as many mghts during the peak of this festive season in which the MoJacks settled for a .500 record. It began on home ice a week ago when ModJacks scored a 3-2 overtime victory over the Picton Pirates. One night later, Port Perry was blanked 3-0 in Picton and on Friday evening, the Mo- Jacks had little success in Sut- ton, dropping a 2-1 verdict to a vastly improved Georgina Ice. ModJacks, as you have prob- ably ascertained, didn't exactly go on a scoring frenzy during those four games. A point that didn't slip by Carnegie or his as- sistant Brett Puckrin. | By the same token, the Mo- Jacks held up impressively pecially while confining the Chiefs to 18 shots over 60 min- utes. Ifthe truth be known, the Mo- Jacks were not in an elite situa- tion against Lakefield between the pipes. An ailing Rick Hutch- inson held the fort and played superbly despite an acute case of the flu. Ironically, Paul Rob- erts, the second part to this goaltending tandem, had booked the night off a long time ago due to a personal commit- ment. With minor teams in Port Perry engaged in a tourney and league play, the brought in Jamie Trick, a for- mer netminder, as abackup. Keith Leslie - who was not available for the two games against Picton - linemate Steve Barkwell, Al Hurlburt and new- comer Derek Anderson tallied for the ModJacks. John Ikola fired the lone first- period goal for Lakefield and Chris Longfield notched the third period tally. Leslie's goal ended a lengthy powerplay drought for the Mo- Jacks who in their last three games hadn't scored with the extra man advantage in 16 at- tempts. "It was an ugly win," Carne- gie spoke of the fight-filled con- MoJacks test against the lowly Chiefs, "but I was glad to see us play with more enthusiasm. The last three games were zeros. We hadn't played with any jump." ModJacks have accumulated 18 wins on the year. Carnegie was shooting for 20, but isn't disenchanted. Anderson, who played last year sparingly with the Bow- manville Eagles and began this season in Uxbridge, got his first goal midway through the second period, pouncing on a loose puck and lifting it over the sprawled goalie, Colin Caley. He had a second goal disallowed early in the third. He's big in front of the net - a garbage collector and we hadn't had what you-could call a gar- bage collector up to this point," Carnegie describes Andergon. Chiefs were determined to make a fight of'it, literally as the game wore on, looking to their tough guy, Scott Johnson. He was ready to take on all com- ers...with one exception. A couple of potential pugilis- tic bouts with Corey Bricknell were dashed by the Lakefield player who steered clear as far as possible. Only when Brick- nell had made his exit late in the game did Johnson come to life, so to speak.

"When the team effort isn't there, I get down on myself," he explains, adding with a chuckle, "But I'm not a screamer. And I have no inten- tions on starting."
