"A Family Tradition for 132 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, April 7, 1998 - 25 SPORTS Peewee playoff action Campkin vs Shoppers Drug Mart The first game of the Peewee House League playoff action was for Consolation Champion. Campkins woke up early and it showed as they jumped to a 3-0 lead only 3:14 into the first period. It took only seconds for Ryan May to find the mesh as Jon Breen fed him a pass. With some nifty stickhandling Ryan deked the Shoppers defense and found an open top corner. One minute and 16 sec- onds later Ryan May again scored with an assist going to John Kyle. Luke Pilkey scored the third unloading a wrist shot to beat Robert Larmer. It looked as if Shoppers was going to give Campkins the B Championship without a fight. The second period featured no goals, only Shoppers gaining more of the territo- rial play. Shoppers efforts finally paid off but not until the 16 second mark of the third period. Matt Fish got the blue machine rolling. Scoring with assists to Justin Koury and Mike Whalen. With momentum swinging in favor of Shoppers, Justin Koury kept the ball rolling. Starting with assists going to Mike Whalen again. At the six minute mark in the third period Shoppers tied things up. Mike Whalen picked up his third point of the game. Starting a three way passing play to Justin Koury and then to Scott Symes to tie the game. Thig-woke up the Campkin troop as end to end action was about to begin. No. 17, Ryan May, would get his third point of the game with assists going to Justin Sanders and John Kyle. Not to be outdone Shoppers Mark Vernest found the mesh with Chris Wygerde assisting. Tied after three periods those teams faced overtime action. Three on three sudden death. It took only 12 seconds for Campkins to win the Consolation as Ryan May got his fourth goal from a nice pass from Taylor Meeking. This was truly a game for boys and fans to remember. Shoppers defense of Gary Garret, Adam Love, Ryan Hockley and Mike Whalen settled down and played solid hockey after the first three minutes. With great efforts from Darryl Goulding and Joshua Kaye the Shoppers team gave Campkins all they could handle. Campkins, Andrew Overy, Luke Pilkey, Bill Britt, Ted Howarth and Steve Guthrie anchored their team along with Kellan Jackson in goal to their B Championship. Thanks to Dave Jackson of Campkins and Dennis Symes coach of Shoppers for efforts with the boys all season. A Final Browman Freight Lions Club Although these two teams had amassed lots of goals throughout the regular season this was not to be in the A final. Good hockey teams usually play low scoring games and so it was for this one. Lions got on the scoreboard at 4:20 in the first period. Matt Kamminga found the mesh as he did many times this season. But not without the help of Brady Harrison who fed Matt a nice pass. The balance of the first period and second period saw no more goals, just a lot of end to end action with both defenses doing their job. Goaltender Andrew Fancy for Browman and Tyler Webb for Lions shut down two very explosive offenses time and time again. Pierce Jones, Greg Hunter, Tyson Armstrong and Ryan Belair shut down the Browman offense completely. With Just seconds left in the game, Ryan Petch scored the insurance goal. Ryan Belair fed a low shot and Ryan Petch was at the doorstep to put away the rebound. The Lions Club ended up in first place in the league play and proved why they were first overall. They had to work hard because Browman Freight seemed to have their number all year and a betting person may have picked them to keep that up. Coach Randy Petch guided his team to a well deserved A Championship. In playoff action coach Jeff Fenton steered his boys to a playoff tie of 10 points with Lions to gain a birth in the A Final. Although a 10 minute misconduct was awarded these two teams gave us a great A final. David Storer, Brian Chartrand, Mark Schinkel, BJ Schaump and Eric Fenton could not solve the goaltending of Tyler Webb. Thanks to all the officials for a great job done all season.

The 1997-98 Junior C hockey season came to an end for the Little Britain Merchants Sunday after they lost their fourth game to Glanbrook John B. McClelland' Port Perry Star The hockey season is over for the Little Merchants. The Glanbrook Rangers shutout the Merchants 4-0 Sunday night to take the best-of-seven Ontario Junior C semi-final series in five games. After a gutty effort Saturday night for a 3-2 win to prolong the series, the Merchants went into Glanbrook 24 hours later hoping to do something no team has done in 50 games: win on the Ranger's home ice. And for the first 20 min- utes or so, it looked like they just might get the job done as they stormed the Ranger's zone and had numerous good scoring chances. But missed opportuni- ties and some hot goal- tending by Ranger Jacob Gill kept the Merchants off the score sheet. The home town team clicked once in the first for a 1-0 lead, then on a power play in the second and they added a couple more in the third to take the game and the series. "We played very well at the beginning of the game, but just couldn't put one away," said a disappointed head coach Geoff Field. The Rangers, Ontario Jr. C champs last year, now defend their title in the championship series against either Wallaceburg or Kinkardine, who were tied at two games each as of last Saturday night. While expressing his disappointment that the club could not extend the series, Field said advanc- ing to the semi-finals made him "very proud of the guys" for their accomplish- ments on the ice this year. This was the best show- ing by a Merchant squad since the franchise joined the Central Jr. C League two decades ago. Looking back over the series with the powerful Turn to Page 26 A CAA i --t Sens bounce Sharks 3-0 in "Toilet Bowl!" match From Page 24 score. The Wolves got on the board first as-they jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with goals from Ken Smart who was assisted by Phil Lalonde, and Bill Bridge who found the net after taking a pass from Paul Stanley. Late in the first period the Chargers were able to tie this game and it was Willie Edwards who got them on the board first from Jeff Card and Roger Moase. Bob Collins tied the game with under a minute remaining in the opening period after taking a pass from Mike McQuade. In the second period the Chargers would take the lead for the first time in this game and the go ahead goal was pro- vided by Henry Forderer. Assists went to Mike McQuade and Steve Connors but that would be the end of the Chargers offensive attack as the Wolves were able to shutout the Chargers and regain their lead. The Wolves tied the game in the second peri- od while on the power play when Bill Bridge scored his second of the game with a wrist shot from the point that the Chargers goalie got a piece of but it was not enough. The assists on this goal went to Ron Zaparanuik and Paul Stanley. With one minute remaining in the final period Ken Smart scored his second goal of the game after being set up by Bill Bridge and it turned out to be the game winner that would give the Wolves the "B" Championship. M.V.P. winners were Don Card of the Chargers who played a stellar game in the Chargers nets, Wolves defenceman Paul Stanley who was solid on the blue line and Ken Smart who provided two goals up front. "A" Championship Pizza Delight Roosters 3 Cedar Creek Contracting Clippers 1 The "A" Championship between the Roosters who have been playing very well through- out the playoffs and the Clippers who have also been playing some solid hockey. But only one of these SHL powerhouses could come out as league champions and that team was the Roosters who prevailed by a score of 3-1. The Roosters got started early as they opened the scoring only 20 seconds into this game with a goal courtesy of Danny Taylor who was set up by Jason Warner. The Clippers would answer back with a goal from Richie LeFort who put in a low back- hand from the slot after receiving passes from Derek Fitzgerald and Jamie Taylor. This game would not stay tied for long how- ever as the Roosters regained their lead 19 seconds later when Dave Dickson converted after being set up by George Gladish. There was no offense in the second period but in the third period the Roosters put this game out of reach for the Clippers when Jason Warner provided the offense after making a nice move on the Clippers goalie and then putting in a low shot on the blocker side. M.V.P. awards were given to Chargers goalie Don Card who made many big saves for the Roosters while filling in for Richard Huggins, Bruce Smith who made many big defensive plays for the Roosters, and Jason Warner who provided one goal and. one assist to help the Roosters win the league champi- onship. -- NON STV Ul RS IA RN QO XE III I.
