"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" rump, PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 15, 1994 - 17 SPORTS ModJacks run into bad luck in weekend matches | by David Stell The Port Perry ModJacks ran into some bad luck this week- end in back-to-back road games. They played completely different games each night, with a goal scoring frenzy in the first game and a tight defensive contest the following night. The Modacks travelled to Lit- tle Britain to play the Mer- chants Saturday night, but Port Perry lost the game 8-6 after leading 5-0 in the first period. Then on Sunday night, the Lakefield Chiefs fought the Mo- Jacks to a 1-1 tie, stopping Port Perry's snipers with sharp goal- tending throughout the game. The home team couldn't stay out of the penalty box in Little Britain and it put the Mer- chants in a tough spot. In the first period, the MoJacks used the powerplay to jump into a five-goal lead. That only served to fire up Little Britain. The Merchants stole the momentum away from the MoJacks in the second and third period and used it to come all the way back for the win. In Lakefield, the Chiefs jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first period when defenceman Jon Quinlan scored past Mo- Jack netminder Rick Hutchin- son. Hutchinson didn't face too many shots the rest of the way, but he made sure that his team wouldn't lose by stopping any Lakefield chances the rest of the way. Lakefield's goaltender, Mike Coons, had a strong night. He turned away all but one of the ModJacks' shots Sunday. Port Perry's goal came in the second period courtesy of Chad Kearns. With the pressure on in front of the Lakefield net, Kearns came in close and fired a shot through Coons' pads. Mike Pigeau and Todd Stirling drew assists on the goal. Even though he scored a goal, Kearns was second guessing himself after the game for missed chances. CHAD KEARNS "We should have won," he said. "I should have redeemed myself in overtime, for missing on a rebound (earlier in the game)." Kearns' goal tied the score at 1-1. And that would turn out to be the final score. The third pe- riod and an overtime frame couldn't produce another goal and the two teams had to settle for a tie. In overtime, it looked like the Modacks would still get two points for the night. Keith Les- lie, on a two-on-one break, set up lan Titterton right in front of the net. But Coons anticipated the play and kept Titterton's shot from goinginto the net. Both teams played well on de- fence and limited the number of chances to score. The Lakefield arena has a small ice surface and the Chiefs used it to plug up the neutral zone most of the night. It kept the ModJacks' quick skaters from getting too many breakaways. Port Perry held a definite edge in quality scoring chances though, but Coons just wouldn't give in to the MoJacks. He made several key stops in the third period and overtime to keep the score tied. Without Coons in net, the game might have turned into an easy win for the ModJacks. MoJacks captain, Gavin Co- chrane, wasn't quite sure what to think about Coons though. GAVIN COCHRANE "I don't know if he was good or Just phoney tonight," Cochrane said. "But he burned us a couple of times there and one good one in the overtime (Titterton's chance). The big defenceman contin- ues to see time on the power play, causing trouble for the op- position in front of the net. The physical side of hockey is a big part of his game. "A good portion of it," Co- chrane said. "I'm obviously not a goal scorer, but I like getting in front of the net and doing my job." Paul Kelly ran into some bad luck early in the second period of the game. After some pushing and shoving, an angry Chief took a hold of Kelly, who seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the two wres- tled to the ice. Kelly was sent to the dressing room and he was forced to watch the rest of the game. He was a little frustrated leaving the game early. "It feels a lot better to be out there, than to be watching," Kelly said. "We should have won the game, we just needed to go upstairs on him (Coons) and we weren't able to." Should we expect to see Kelly in more fights after his first of the year on Sunday night? "Probably not," he said. "I stay away from that stuff, but younever know." Modack General Manager, Murray Parliament, thought the team played a strong game. He was pleased with the Mo- Jacks' efforts in their own end. "I think they went out and played a good defensive game, which is our style," he said. "Anytime you can play in this arena and only allow one goal, you've got to be pleased with that." The Modacks come home Thursday, Nov. 17, for a re- match with the Little Britain Merchants. With the ModJacks back on home ice, the Mer- chants could pay for Saturday night's win.

PETER HVIDSTEN / PORT PERRY STAR The Port Perry High School Athletic Association's Craft Show and Sale held at the school over the weekend was a tremendous success. The show's convenor Ron Cosway is seen here with, left, Amy Parliament and Marci Zuly who welcomed people to the show Saturday morning. Money earned from the show will be used to help send school teams to competitions during the year. Pineridge Tweens play to 1-1 draw The Pineridge Sports Tween Bs continue their unspoiled record with yet another win and a tie. Game four saw Port Perry up against Markham on Nov. 5. This was an early morn- ing game for the girls as we played at the Milliken arena at 8:50 a.m., but they certainly proved to us that they were well rested and ready for action. In the first period, the Pineridge girls chalked up five goals with no problem at all. Congratulations to Leanne Davison who netted her first "Tween" goal assisted by Leanne Holt and Kim Carrique. The Markham team showed some competition with two goals scored this period, but Port came back strong in the second to add another six goals - final score 11-2. Diana Burnett and Mary Justynski each earned a hat trick this game, Jen Ham- mond netted two and Melissa Hooker and Amy Wilson each counted for one. Assists went to Amelie Leveille, Jen Donnelly, Jen Imrie, Lisa LeFort, Melissa Hooker, Cathy Cooper, and Di- ana Burnett. Jackie Smith and Amy Wilson both played a great game to add to our victory. Lauren Christie was netminder for this game and although she didn't see a lot of action in her end, she made some great saves when called upon. GamePFive On Sunday, Nov. 13, we travelled to Pickering for an exci ting |™ game. This was our first encounter with the Pickering team this year and was probably the best game we have had so far. Our checking skills were certainly up to the test and by the way the girls played I would say that the practices have paid off. The ring travelled back and forth throughout the entire game with both teams making numerous shots on net. Lauren Chris- tie was in goal for Port Perry and she made some beautiful saves, allowing Pickering to score only one goal. The Pineridge girls tried a lot of angels, but Leanne Davison by Jen Donnelly. All of the girls are to be congratulated on a fine display of ringette this game. Final score was a 1-1 tie. Our next game is on home ice Saturday, Nov. 19 against Whitby. WORKS ON NEW CARS, USED CARS, EVEN RUSTY CARS! i B.
