24 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 15, 1988 Port Perry Star MolJacks bounce Chiefs in best of seven opener The Port Perry MoJacks have drawn first blood in their best of seven Junior C Divisional final with the Lakefield Chiefs. The MoJacks went into Lake- field on Sunday night and tripped up the Chiefs by a score of 6-2 as defenseman Steve Fountain paced the MoJacks with three goals. Fountain, who is known more for his bruising style of play along the blue line, got the sluggish MoJacks going early in the second period when he scored twice in the span of four minutes to break a 1-1 deadlock. Once the MolJacks took the lead, they never gave it up, and with a strong third period, they cruised to a 6-2 victo- The victory took away the proverbial "home ice advantage" for the Chiefs in this series. The Chiefs hit for the first goal early in the opening period when forward Chris Heffernan dug the puck out from the side of the MolJack net and pushed it past Brian Tarleton. That goal stood up until 16:07 when Dave Burnett scored from in close with Rob Baker and Clair Cornish picking up the as- sists. The MolJacks were fortunate to come out of that period with the score even as play was slug- gish and scrambly, probably the results of the ten day layoff be- tween games. Burnett's goal late in the peri- od came just moments after Brian Tarleton made his biggest save of the game on a clear cut Chief breakaway. , The middle period was 24 sec- onds young when Chief netminder John Cole had trouble clearing a loose puck, and Fountain cashed in on the error with Baker getting the assist. Three minutes later, Fountain scored again off a shot thai changed direction. Thane Ellis Novice playoff knotted at one The Novice Auctioneers travell- ed to Stouffville last Monday for their 1st game in this series. With a win in mind, the boys hit the ice and were as solid as ever, to take a win of 3-1. Port opened up the scoring with only seconds remaining in the 1st period. Stouffville tied it up in the third period, but the last few minutes of the game saw Port fire back with 2 goals to take the game. The Auctioneer's defensemen Mike Heasman, Jeff Clarke, Brad Morton and Jason Logan kept Stouffville out of reach of Port's net to help earn this win. Scoring for Port and playing a strong game was Tim Fitzpatrick with 2 goals, 1 assist and Darryl Moase 3 assists. Also scoring was Tommy Chambers 1 goal, Jason Logan 1 assist and Matthew McClelland 1 assist. On Friday Stouffville met the Auctioneers in Port for their se- cond game. Port's home ice ad- vantage became their disadvan- tage as the visitors took a 1-0 lead in the second period. Port answered back in the last three minutes of the game to tie it up, only to have Stouffville come back and take the lead less than a minute later and end with a score of 2-1. This game saw Port's forwards, Todd Parry, Brad Shanley, Daryl McEnaney, Kent Johnston and Kevin Gray credited with giving the other netminder plenty of ac- tion. As well, Port's netminders Mike Morden and Brandon Ham- mond have made tremendous saves in net keeping the scores as low as they are. These games have definitely proven it's been a team effort. Scoring our only goal in this game was Tommy Chambers assisted by Darryl Moase and Tim Fitzpatrick. Eagles cruise into the semis The Port Perry Midget Eagles cruised into the OMHA semi- finals by pounding the Belleville second team three games straight by scores of 9-0, 7-4 and 10-2. Belleville was overmatched in this series and resorted to chippy and dirty play on many occasions with the Port players only too willing to oblige them with retaliatory tactics. The biggest highlight in this series was hearing the horn go off to end the third period of the final game. The semi-finals feature the Eagles against a strong squad from Collingwood with the series opener set for Thursday night at 8:00 p.m. in the Ship Building Town. Game two goes Saturday night in Port Perry at 8:30 P.M. drew the helper and the MoJacks had a 3-1 lead. Just past the mid-point, Baker made the score 4-1 on a rebound with Jeff McColl and Burnett get- ting the assists. That goal came just after the MoJacks had shut down the Chief power play for nearly six minutes, thanks to some fine work by Kevin Long, Greg Warriner and John Hartford. ~ Chris Heffernan, with his sec- ond-of the game, cut the lead in half at 12:52, and the MoJacks took a 4-2 lead into the dressing room after 40 minutes. The MoJacks did a good job of shutting down the powerful Chief scoring attack in the final period, limiting Lakefield to sev- | en shots on goal. And they put the game on ice with a couple of goals by Dave Burnett with Baker and Darren Nesbitt getting the as- sists, and then Steve Fountain for his hat trick with Warriner and Chris Edmonston helping on the play. With a goal and three assists, Baker turned in yet another multi- point playoff game. He's been on a scoring tear since the round- robin series when he scored the winner in all three games for the MoJacks. He now has eight goals and six assists in four playoff games, and his strong, aggressive style of play has created numerous turn-overs which led to good scor- ing chances. The MoJacks out-shot the Chiefs 35-25 in this game, and took eight minors while the Chiefs took nine. The MoJacks were without three players-Craig Menzies, Dave Culbert and John Harman. Clair Cornish has been called up from the Port Midgets, picked up an as- sist in Sunday's game and likely will see more action in this ser- ies. The Chiefs were without their top gun Scott Wainman, but he's expected back in the line-up soon. Game two in this series is slated for this Wednesday evening (March 16) at the Scugog Arena for an 8:30 faceoff, and game three will be in Lakefield this coming Friday, also at 8:30. The series shifts back to Port Perry on Sunday, March 20 for a 7:30 start. Although the MoJacks have now won four straight games over the Chiefs going back to regular season and two in the round robin serics, the Chiefs are still a force to be reckoned with. They are the all-Ontario Junior C defending champions, and in last year's playoffs, they came from behind three games to one in a couple of series. In the other series which start- ed Sunday night in the Central Junior loop, the Bowmanville Ea- gles and Wellington Dukes must 'have been playing without goal- keepers as 13-8 victo Bowmanville. The winners from these series will play for the league title. ¢ Eagles rambled to a over the Dukes in Angle Dowson who lives In Prince Albert and Tg Tt ERB skates with both the Uxbridge and Port Perry Figure Skating Clubs has enjoyed fine success on the ice this season, and had to overcome a bad ankle sprain last fall that kept her off skates for a month.

(see story for detalls) Angie to skate at Ontario meet For someone whose skating season got off to a slow start last fall, Angie Dowson of Prince Al- bert has been more than making up for lost time.
