From Page 21 Sunday as it was their third outing in 48 hours. And that's the way they looked for 20 minutes against the Chiefs who scored at the 15- second mark and owned a 3-0 lead late in the first period. But with 2:52 left in the opening frame, the MoJacks went on the power play and it was crucial that "they net one there if they were to get back in the game. They didn't waste much time as the power play was just 37 seconds old when Adam Bonneveld scored from a close-in shot. Dale Drummond and newcomer Justin Squires picked up the assists. It was the first of a four-goal game for the high flying Bonneveld who has been on a scoring tear lately and looking very much like the guy who led the Central Loop in points last season. Jeff Clarke cut the Chief lead to 3-2 early in the second, taking pass- es from Drummond and Bonneveld and splitting the defense to slide the puck under Ryan Hogan as he was being dragged down by a couple of enemy defenders. Adam Jones tied the game 3-3 midway through the period, picking up a rebound off a Jason Hansen breakaway. MoJacks one point behind the Merchants for third But the Chiefs staged a rally of very hard in the Lakefield zone to their own as Chris White and Dan Booth put them back into the lead 5-3. Then Bonneveld made it 5-4 at 17:05 with a short-handed marker. He controlled a high flying puck at centre, broke in alone and made a clever move to his left. Jeff Mackie, who appeared to be fighting the puck in the first, really kept the MoJacks in the game early in the third with several key saves. Coach Thornbury had words of praise for the way Mackie bounced back, calling him a "fierce competi- tor with a great attitude." Those key saves were all his mates needed as Bonneveld got his second short-handed marker at the 4:28 mark. Greg Blackburn fed him a long pass and he swooped in from the left side to slip a back-hand behind Hogan to tie the game once again. And it was Bonneveld who gave them the lead for the first time at 7:57, taking a great pass from Drummond and snapping the shot past Hogan from a sharp angle. The insurance came at 9:01 with newcomer Mike Clark re-directing a pass into the Chief net. Derek Tindall and Mike Hamilton got the assists and the entire line worked create the scoring opportunity. On Saturday against the Ice, Adam Metheral led the MoJacks with a hat-trick and one helper, and singles went to Mike Clark, Jeff Clarke and Mike Hamilton. The ModJacks opened a 3-0 lead in the first. The Ice came back to make it an interesting 4-3 affair after 40 minutes and then the MoJacks got back on track to finish things off in the third.
