But they did it the hard way, coming from behind three different times to beat the Uxbridge Bruins by a score of 6-4. For the first 40 minutes the teams traded goals until the 33 second mark of the third period when Tim Thompson 'broke a 4-4 tie and put the MoJacks ahead for good. Uxbridge Bruin goalie Bill Cheetham was a busy man Sunday night at the Scugog Arena, facing 44 shots from the Port Perry Todd Wilbur and Mike Geer drew assists. Midway through the third, Dave Canning added an insurance marker, his second of the evening. Per- sistence paid off for Canning on this goal as he grabbed the puck inside the Bruin blue line and skated in un- touched to beat Bill Cheetham with a back-hand shot. Canning's first goal of the night came early in the ate wo second period and also was the result of hard work and hustle as he rapped in a loose puck from a scramble at the Bruin net. The Bruins opened the scoring at the 16 minute mark of the first on a power play with Charlie Brown off for tripping. Todd Wilbur got that one back for the MoJacks in the first minute of the second when he slid a low back-hand 'MoJacks who beat the Bruins 6-4 for their second win of the Junior C Public meeting helps patch t up relations between Blackstock Hockey-Arena Board It appears as if the Black- stock Minor Hockey Associa- tion and Cartwright Arena Board have patched up their differences following a public meeting held in Black- stock last Thursday evening. The meeting, which attracted about 40 interested citizens, was called by the Arena Board, partly to explain to the public just how the Board functions and what the Arena is used for. Atom All Stars get whomped by 7-0 On Friday, October 30th, in their only game of the week, the Malmont Farm Atom team went down to defeat 7-0 against a powerful Stouff- ville team. The boys worked hard, but were frustrated many times, by the superb checking and passing of the Stouffville team. The Atoms had several excellent scoring chances, but a sharp goalie, prevented them from getting on the scoreboard. Penalties again struck hard against Port, but the boys remained strong allowing only two goals out of six power plays. Lets hope the next time these two teams meet, the score is in our favour. The next game is in Uxbridge on Friday, November 6th at 7 o'clock. and also to respond to a letter from Hockey Associa- tion president Doug Allen, and statements made by him in an article in the October 21 issue of the Port Perry Star. Members of the Arena Board were bitterly angry at some of the statements made by Mr. Allen which appeared in the Star article, especially the reference to how much money the Minor Hockey Association paid to the Arena last year for ice time rental. The figure quoted from Mr. Allen was $8000, but at the meeting Thursday evening, Board chairman John Goss said this was not correct as the audited books show Minor Hockey paid $2200 for ice time last year plus $500 in arrears from the previous season. Mr. Allen admitted the $8000 figure was not correct, through heavy traffic as the Buins were playing short- handed. Two quick goals by Canning and Jamie Sinclair tied the score at two each, and then Uxbridge went ahead at the 15 minute mark on a short-handed effort where a couple of Port Perry defenders were caught flat- footed. But 30 seconds later, Tim Thompson with his first of and at the meeting he apologized to the Board members. The meeting was success- ful in ironing out several bones of contention between Hockey Association and the Arena Board, and the most persistent seemed to be whether the hockey goal nets should be anchored to the ice with pegs. With the Hockey Associa- tion claiming the nets must be anchored for safety reasons, and the Arena Board stating peg holes in the ice might interfere with curling and figure skating, it was agreed by both sides that the suggestion of Dave Dalton be followed. Mr. Dalton said anchor pegs similar to those used for broomball nets would not mean a hole in the ice through the concrete floor, and the pegs could be the night tied the score at three off a scramble in front of Cheetham. Carl Durward gave the MoJacks a short-lived 4-3 lead at 17:33 with some tough work around the Bruin goal, but Kent Jordan got that one back 20 seconds later to send the teams into the third period with the score tied at four. That set the stage for the go-ahead and insurance 'season. But the MoJacks had to come from behind on three different occasions to get the win in this Junior c contest. removed from the ice when not in use. Mr. Goss told the meeting that some of the other requests from the Minor Hockey Association have either been completed or will be in the very near future. These include red and blue lines on the ice surface, doors in the washrooms, locks on dressing room doors which were broken, coat hooks in dressing rooms, and the hook-up of the electronic time clock. The Arena Board agreed to investigate the possibility of putting rubber matting along the south side to the players boxes. Mr. Allen said Minor Hockey believes strongly the matting should be over the concrete floor to protect skate blades and possibly prevent a voungster from (Turnto page 14) MoJacks battle back for 6-4 win markers by Thompson and Canning, and MoJacks then weathered several penalties to hang on and preserve the victory. Although the play was scrambly at times during the game, MoJacks seemed to enjoy a territorial edge which showed up in the shot-on-goal column. Cheet- ham faced 44 shots in the Bruin goal, while Ray Gibson in the MoJack net turned back 24 shots. MoJacks got the worst of the penalty calls throughout the game, but a combination of good penalty killing and an anemic Bruin power play meant the manpower advan- tage did not play a signifi- cant role in the game. With his two goals, Dave Canning probably had his best game in a MoJack uniform as he was around the net all night, and on a couple of occasion he drew Bruin players into penalties. He also kept his red hot temper under control and: worked effectively as a penalty killer. Defenseman John Robert- son also had a solid game for the MoJacks, sticking to hockey and playing with cool efficiency. Although the game was chippy in placed, the only fisticuffs came at 18 minute mark of the third when MoJack forward Carl Durward took exception to Bruin forward Peter Arts. Durward rattled several punches off the helmet of Arts, then flung him to ice before the linesmen got them separated. He was assessed 'nine minutes in penalties while Arts got none. _ Even though the season is just three weeks old, the victory was an important one for the MoJacks as they had lost three in a row. The team now has five points on two wins and a tie, and all of these have come on home ice. MoJacks have lost five so far this season, four of them on the road. This Friday, MoJacks will journey to the Lindsay Arena for a match against the Muskies and on Sunday night will host the tough Bewdley Rice Lake Rangers. In their first meeting this year, the Rangers dumped the MoJacks 4-1 in Rice Lake. It is generally felt the MoJacks are a better club than their record so far indicates. If the MoJacks can tighten up behind the blue line, stay away from silly penalties and get some scoring from the second and third lines, they will continue to put numbers in the win - column.
