On Jan. 28 they elimi- nated the Blackhawks by a score of 10-1. Fifty-seven seconds into the game, Mark Blakley scored on assists from Dane Gray and Jason Whitworth, and shortly after Oshawa tied it 1-1. Oshawa would not get any closer as the Le- gionnaires scored nine more unanswered goals. Interestingly, the other goals were three sets of hat tricks. Gray had one with assists going to Jason (two) and David Justynski (two). Scott Brownson had the second hat trick with assists by David, Tim Jones, Steve Wygerde, Mark and Dane (two). Fi- nally, Matt MacMaster also scored a hat trick with assists by Jason, Dave, Sean Jeffrey, Grant Hook- er, Dean VanCamp and Braden Tarbotton. Carl Evans was in net to" year olds - Russel Brown, R. H. Cornish. Each contestant was al- lowed 15 consecutive free throw attempts with ties being settled with a round of five free throws per con- testant. The boys and girls who were crowned Council Champions now advance to the District Level Championship which the Knights are pleased to an- meunce will take place in capture the win. A total team effort for the win. Previously, Jan 25, at home, the Legionnaires also had little difficulty de- feating the Blackhawks as they were no match for the Legionnaires "firepower". The Legionaires cruised a 13-0 victory. v Chris Monsma, between the pipes, had good sup- port in front of him and came up big for the Le- gionnaires when asked to. The defensive squad wel- ¢omed back "hard-hitting" Sean Jeffrey but unfortu- nately Grant Hooker was missing due to injury. Tim Jones and Justynski both complemented the strong offensive showing and as- sisted in preserving the shutout for Monsma. The line of VanCamp, Tarbotton, and MacMas- ter had an incredible night scoring eight of the 13 goals. VanCamp had a "natural" hat trick in addi- tion to a single, while Tar- botton and MacMaster each had two goals. As- sists were by Justynski, one, Tarbotton five, Sker- ition held Port Perry at the Immacu- late Conception School gym on Thursday, Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m., with warm- ups beginning at 7 p.m. Last year 'more than 212,000 boys and girls participated in 3,099 local competitions.

Blakley con- tributed a hat trick (as- sists by Whitworth (three) and Justynski) while Whitworth chipped in two of his own on assists by off round Gray, Blakle and Brown" son. Wygerde and Sker- ratt did a fine job on the penalty killing unit. The Legionnaires now await the winner of the Lindsay and Stouffville match-up to determine their next opponent. Come out and cheer these boys on!! It's great hockey!! Midget Bs up one The Midget "B" Islanders played host to Lindsay on Jan. 26 for the first game in their best of five playoffs and this game was absolutely great as the Islanders skated to a 6-2 victory to take a 1-O lead in the series. This game had a bit of everything the players were up for it and put on a show for the home town crowd. The crowd was in this game as well as the peanuts were flowing (thanks again Lloyd) and often applaud- ed a good stop by Islander goalie Brian Bickmore, who was hot on this night, a good passing play by the at- tacking Islander forwards or a good defensive effort by the defense. The Islanders were skating, hitting, backchecking, passing and going all out as they kept Lindsay off balance the entire game. Total team effort usually means a win and this was just that. The first period had the Islanders take immediate control of the game with a 2-0 lead. First it was Todd Parry from Gavin Baxter and Trevor Smith and Scott Heffern from Parry and Chris Drury. Lindsay did have their chances, but goalie Bickmore was having a hot game coming up with numerous big stops. The second opened with Lindsay making a game of it as they finally got one past "Bic" to make it 2-1. But that would be as close as they would get as the Island- ers exploded for three quick goals to take a command- ing 5-1 lead. Scoring for the Isles in the second were Adam Hunter, Parry and Matt Phillips with assists going to Ashley Van Shelven, Adam Smith with two, Heffern, Ryan Puckrin and Adam Hunter. The third had the teams exchange goals as Phillips from Hunter rounded out the Islander scoring. Final score, Islanders 6 - Lindsay 2 giving Port a 1-0 lead in the series. Also deserving mention for good work are Mike Morden who made a few Bobby Orr type rushes, - Aaron Levy who had the Lindsay goalie shaking as he let go with a few howitzers from left wing, if he could only hit the net, and Noah Dorland who found out just how painful making a skate save can be. The Islanders travel to Lindsay on Jan. 30 and then return home on Feb. 2 with a 9:15 p.m. start. Come on out and be entertained and support these local boys. By Wally Donaldson Special to the Star The obligations of the Port Perry ModJacks this Central On- season have been fulfilled - at least for the time being. A rigid road schedule during this regular season campaign has been completed, capped in banner style last Saturday night in Brighton with a 7-0 shellacking of the eastern Onta- rio's Buzz. And their scheduled engage- ments with the Little Britain Merchants, a club Port skipper Chic Carnegie admits he'd rath- er see less of, are complete. That too was on a winning note last Thursday evening when the ModJacks doubled up on the Merchants 4-2 at Scugog Arena, a morale booster, saying the least. With the top rung in the league standings still wide tario Junior C Hockey League open, the Modacks have three league games remaining, two with Georgina Ice and one other against the Bobcaygeon Bul- lets. Ironically, Port Perry has ex- perienced positive results over- all against the front-running Uxbridge Bruins, a team Carne- gie says he'd welcome in a post- season standoff. The same can't be said about the speedy Merchants, who have given the MoJacks more "than a handful. Little Britain's undoing last Thursday was giv- ing up the last two goals, includ- ing the lone third-period tally. As for the eastern Ontario's Buzz, Keith Leslie, showcased his nifty scoring prowess by turning the bright light on four times in Brighton. Todd Den- nis, Corey Bricknell and Ken- ton LeFort rounded out the scoring with Rick Hutchinson earning the shutout between theirons. Although the ModJacks were obviously at the top of their game in Brighton, Carnegie could still see room for improve- ment following the result against Little Britain. "It's nice beating those boys," beamed Port's assistant coach Brett Puckrin. "It's nice, but we didn't send the message," followed Carne- gie. "I wanted to show them that we can beat them handily and we didn't do that. What is dis- turbing is the fact they were playing shorthanded (several deletions in the lineup). So we'll have to play them a lot tougher if we want to get by them should we meet in the playoffs." Merchants came out fore- checking as expected, using the best of their skating ability, and could have come out of the first 20 minutes with a two-goal lead. Trevor Catherwood and Brad Cann each beat Port netminder Paul Roberts only to have the puck ring off the post. Skill prevailed in the second period as the ModJacks earned a 3-2 lead, supported heavily by team work and the finishing touch of Dennis in front of the goalmouth. Dennis beat goalie Mark Cairns on the backhand for the first goal and after Tim Teel tied it up, Dennis notched his second of the night. Merchants knotted it up later in the frame on a goal seldom seen on the MoJacks...a short- handed marker. Teel did the work in this one, finessing the puck to the corner of the goal before slipping it on the short side past Roberts. But the MoJacks got the lead back during a two-man power- play advantage a minute later with blueliner Matt Pyke un- loading a boomer from close range. Cairns got a piece of the MoJacks defeat Brighton Buzz 7-0 puck with his glove, but couldn't squeezeit. Todd Stirling, with his sixth goal of the season, fired the only third period tally. WALLY WORLD - Carnegie feels the fourth line of Ryan Ridgway, Trevor Bremner and Derek Anderson was the most proficient because, "They hus- tled and never stopped," said Carnegie. "When they were on the ice, most of the play was in (Little Britain's) end." Mike Pi- geau appeared as though he had been looking for a fight all eve- ning and got his wish in the final period when coming to blows with Trevor Catherwood. Mo- Jacks will be recognizing the Port Perry Minor Hockey Asso- ciation this Saturday evening "while holding a "Minor Hockey Night" during a matchup with Georgina Ice. A total of 14 house league players will have an op- portunity to compete in a shoot- out against a MoJack goaltend- er. Game timeis 7:30 p.m.
