Belleville, scoring once in the first and again early in the second, appeared to have things well in hand. Port had some good chances but were unable to convert. Brian Bickmore was particularly strong in -goal to eep us close. tle looper over the goalie's shoulder to put us back in it be- fore the end of the second peri- od. The Legionaires took control at this point and played some good a ssive hockey. Finally late in the third, Morton again parked himself in front and with a flick of the wrist, tied the score with Todd Parry assist- ing. Play see-sawed back and forth and finally half way through the third two minute overtime period and with each team having just two skaters on the ice, Kevin Hobbs got a break away. His partner Chris Drury, kept the two Belleville players busy just long enough for Kevin to slip away and fire it in past a _ sprawling goaltender. Congratulations to all hands / for a spectacular comeback. M.V.P. honors went to Bick- more in the cage for a fine per- formance. Our victory put us on the "A" side and our next contest was against Kingston Township. Both teams were evenly matched and came out flying. Port "took the body" right off the bat and for the most part con- trolled play along the boards. Kingston got on the board first early in the opening period but the Legionaires pulled even minutes later on a deflection in front by Jason Logan from Ke- vin Hobbs. Kingston pulled ahead 2-1 and kept that lead through the final minutes of the first and well into the second be- fore Port's hard work finally paid off when Kevin Hobbs flipped the puck high into the net on a neat bit of work by Da- ryl McEnaney on the _ power play. Now the stage was set for are- gave the penalty killers fits and a power play goal by Kingston with two minutes left proved to be Port's undoing. | Pee Wee As in tournament play = al The Legionaires threw every- thing they had at the Kingston net in the final seconds but their goalie slammed the door. A superb effort by the entire team on each and every shift re- sulted in a very respectable showing and shows promises for the future as playoffs are just around the corner.

With the goalie out and the extra attacker the Isles came close but ended up on the losing end of a 4-3 score. Thursday, Jan. 9 the Islanders paid a return visit to Pickering, a game which the boys couldn't seem to get anything going their way. Mark Cosway scored an unassisted goal early in the first iod but from there on it was all ickering. Final score was 5-1 for Pickering. Pee Wee Bs The Pee Wee B team hosted Sunderland on Friday, Dec. 27 and lost 10-5 in a very enter- taining game. Sunderland was ahead by three goals starting the second period and added their fourth quickly at the start of the next, taking good control over a game that now appeared to be over. True to style, the Port guys regrouped and began a come- back with Justin Halligan put- ting a high shot into the net from a nice pass from Robinson. Kevin Gray scored their second goal on a fine solo effort to put the guys back into the game but- a pressing Sunderland team fought back to end the period 5- 2. Port Perry came out storming in the third to score again on a repeat solo effort by Kevin Gray but again the opposition an- swered back quickly with their sixth to take some of the steam out of Port and added another until Shane Norton took a pass from Gray and scored their fourth goal at 3:48. Again, Sunderland swarmed in and scored two more goals on Paul Shrigley who played very well between the pipes but had very little help clearing the loose pucks in his crease. Kevin Gray scored his "hat trick" assisted by Smith and Laird but the visiting team to- tally dominated the final period with an awesome display of to IBM & Compatible Computers Hardware Upgrades & Accounting Software The ® c. 1991 by CRAIG NICHOLSON - All Rights Reserved Finally we broke the ice run of terda ts.

Here are three simple ideas that many of our local snowmobilers may be trying this winter. Judge for yourself. For years snowmobilers have dutifully lifted their rear ends to take the weight off the track and to keep it from freezing to the surface by propping it on an old log or board or frozen dog. As machines got heavier, wives, kids and those with bad backs got others to do their lifting. Now all that's changed, in part because there are no good backs left. The Snowmobile Support from Andy's Fabric Shop (705-339- 5321, $75) is a height-adjustable, metal upright stand mounted on a flat wood base that fits under the rear bar of the sled. The lift is provided by simply stepping on a lever arm which raises the upright (and the machine) until a notch locks into place. Anyone who can walk is capable of operating this device through the miracle of leverage and the wood base provides stability so the sled won't fall over during the week when something melts or shifts. The only problem is the likelihood that this support will be more attractive to thieves than some old log or stiff canine., I chain mine to the sled. The latest fad in ski accessories is space age plastic or synthetic. The theory is that this material is lighter than the stock metal skiis, more durable, non-breakable, offers better handling and less drag. Of course anything with "space" technology is also astronomically priced, ranging from $300 to $500 per pair, compared to under $100 for replacement metal skiis, but if you want to try them, KIMPEX has a set available at your local dealer. But remember, you will probably also require a new set of carbides specially designed to fit plastic skiis. Recently, I had to replace my original metal skiis and opted to try plastic. For most snowmobilers, I don't think they are worth the big bucks. I did notice some slight change in handling characteristics, but not a significant improvement. They may have added more speed, but I dont ride fast enough to care. Whether they prove to be more durable, and therefore a good value over time, will depend on whether I can transfer when I buy new sleds. How much do you think they'll allow me for those new metal skiis I won't need? Wet packing snow built up on metal skiis can cause control problems, but sheds from the plastic ones as advertised. And they won't rust or dent. Only gouge on the bottom. As I discovered driving my sled onto aJowered trailer bed. Whereas metal skiis only scrape when they encounter that rough trailer edge, the plastic ones can catch, bringing the machine to a sudden stop. But they are available in black and they always look good. Speaking of trailers, many local sledders are installing wind/dirt deflectors on the front to protect their machines. These deflectors serve that purpose well and also provide some extra protected storage room while trailering, but I have reservations. Depending on the weight of the deflector, it may no longer be possible for one person to lead the trailer since it may not stay balanced in the lowered position without support. This could be both annoying and inconvenient since you can't be at both ends simultaneously. : Moreover, with the deflector firmly and permanently in place, it is almost impossible for anyone to assist in loading from the front of the trailer. How many times have you been loading, only to find that the sled stopped halfway up the trailer and needed an extra hand to pull it on? Or what about overshooting the trailer slightly? I know one dealer who loaded a throttle-stuck sled into a customer's back seat. That would have put the deflector around the driver's neck. A buddy solved the problem last season by bolting old tracks onto the bed of his trailer for traction. Leaving about a foot overhang off the back so the old track would bridge to the ground, he is able to almost literally walk his machines onto assing, puck control and skat- the trailer. No ski holes in his deflector. Alternately, the NOV./JAN. FEB./MAR.
