McClelland Port Perry Star If that was the real Port Perry ModJack team that took to the ice Sunday night at the Scugog Arena, the rest of the league had best be forewarned. This team is capable of doing some serious dam- age in the Central Junior C loop this season. In what head coach Brad Menzies described as their best game so far this year, the MoJacks dominated the Uxbridge Bruins at both ends of the rink and were rewarded with an 8-3 win over their long-time bitter rivals from the west who came in with a record of two . wins and a loss. And Rob Simms, the team's leading scorer last year with 70 points (36 goals and 34 assists) appeared to be in mid- season form as he paced the ModJacks with a five point outing--three goals and a pair of assists. "Everybody played well tonight, and we played a lot smarter," said Menzies after the game as the players savoured their well desrved victory. It more than made up for Friday night's effort in Uxbridge where the Bruins came out on top by an 8-4 margin. The ModJack's record to date is two wins, two losses and a tie. After a fairly even first in which the MoJacks had a 2-1 lead, they kicked their game into another gear in the middle frame to take complete control of things. Ryan Odette and Simms did the scoring in the first, and it was Simms who got the ball rolling in the second with an unassisted marker just seven seconds after the opening face-off. Two minutes later, Port Perry native Seth Gray probably sealed the ruins fate once and for all as he combined with Simms to finish a perfect- ly executed two-on-one break with the MoJacks playing shorthanded. And just past the mid- point Gray was instru- mental in setting up Simms as he worked the puck into the corner and sent a nifty pass to his linemate who one-timed it behind Barry Crawford. That one chased the vet- eran Crawford from the net with the score 5-2, and it didn't take Simms long to introduce himself to replacement Tim Little. It was Darryl Senachal this time who fed a pass to Simms in front of the net and it was in the twine before Little had a chance to move. Odette got his third of the game with five min- utes left in the game to up the margin to 7-2 and the teams exchanged goals in the final period with the outcome all but decided with Brian Nash flipping one high into the cage. Adam Bonneveld had a big part in the win with four assists. For the Bruins, Allan Racette, Drew Roberts and Jeff Leaman were able to beat MoJack net- minder Derek Spence who had to come up with some key stops when the game was still close. SLAPSHOTS: Not only did the ModJacks win the game, they won the fights as well. Matt Glenn scored a clear decision over Will Browning and Adam Jones corked Brian Joly with a couple of hard right hands that sent the Bruin to the ice. Bruins' Jim Mitchell was assessed a five minute major for checking from behind, and then got tagged with the agressor penalty in a scrap with Senachal who took exception to the ille- gal and dangerous hit on his team-mate. Rob Murphy and Les Diadyk fough their way to a draw. Coach Menzies said the major difference between the Friday and Sunday games was the work of the specialty teams. And the team was making the best of scoring chances, "which we haven't been doing." Menzies also noted the obvious: the MoJacks were able to use their best weapon: speed up front. This team has some great skaters and if they get a jump on the opposition -- look out. Guys like Simms, Gray, Odette, Casy Van Schagen, Brian Turn to Page 25
