fe 18- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, December 13, 1994 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Blazers lead in SHL standings Great winter weather led to great action in the SHL this Sunday. There's something about cold, snowy weather that brings out the best at the hock- ey rink. All eyes have been fo- cused on the SHL leaders in the past month, but this week proved to settle all wagers as the Harrison Blazers pounced Softball execs knuckle down to improve game By Dave Dalton On Nov. 13 and 16 the Port Perry & District Minor Softball Association executive and board of directors met to discuss and resolve a number of issues including one raised originally at the Association's Annual General Meeting in October. A petition presented to the execu- tive dealt with house league team selection and the way in which it is handled between Port Perry, Greenbank, and Seagrave. The petition request- ed a change in the selection pro- cess, asking that the surround- ing centres be included within the Port Perry realm. On that date there was a lengthy debate with the new ex- ecutive tabling the matter and president Dave Dalton request- ing a meeting in the next month to be attended by the board of directors and representatives. from the other two centres as well as the petitioners, at which time it was hoped there would be a resolution. On Nov. 13 the executive and board members went over some of the past year's items in re- gards to fundraising, diamond user fees, and sponsorships as well as upcoming exhibitions and other new business. As well they discussed the petition, try- ing to decide which way to han- dle the situation. There was no decision made at this date, as it had already been decided that all would have their chance to air their views as well as the other areas on the 16th. At the meeting on the 16th there were two representatives in attendance from each of the other two centres, as well as the petitioning group. In all three meetings a number of the same items kept cropping up in the discussions. In the past the association has allowed parents to request their children be on the sam team as a friend for various rea sons, including the availability of rides. There were travel ac- commodation considerations for the children also coming out of Greenbank and Seagrave. Diamond availability and coaching techniques as well as unknown player skills and de- velopment were mentioned also. It was felt that the chil- dren in the smaller communi- ties hung out together more of- 1 8.0.8. 060 8008608068 06866.8 686 MOJACK JR C.

Both Seagrave and Green- bank areas felt they would lose sponsorships if the community feeling was lost through amal- gamation with Port Perry. At the current time any overflow of players from either of these two centres was transferred to Port Perry. The consensus gained from the final meeting came up with a number of proposals and di- rections to be put in effect in the upcoming season. The T-Ball and Mite programs will remain separate entities in each centre with their own registrations and teams, as in the past. At the youth categories, ages 11-14 it will remain that the genders will be segregated as in the past but at this age all three centres will now register under Port Perry unless there are enough players at the squirt di- vision to warrant all three areas being separate. Past history shows that this will likely not come to pass, as there are usually not enough registered at this level and on occasion some of the younger youth age children have re- mained down at the Mite cate- gory. Youth lob-ball will also stay as it has in the past with Sea- grave and Port Perry both hav- ing teams. For 1995 there will also be a mandatory skills de- velopment clinic for all regis- trants with a program to be put together by a committee spear- headed by long time coach and supervisor of rep teams, Wayne Venning. Again there will be a coaching clinic run along the same lines as last season. With the addition of the new arena diamonds, each age cate- gory will now be assigned two diamond times per week, one for practice and another for games. As well, coaches may re- quest other times, if they are available, to run practices dur- ing the daytime throughout the season. It is hoped this should put to rest an issue that has been around off and on for a number of years in the area. The main concern of all involved was to try not to lose any more of our ball players, and to try and come up with a solution viable to all. ATELY thy 250.

The Operation Scugog Chal- lenge issued by Bill Owen, saw a good response but let's see a full 100 per cent participation, with canned goods from all teams next Sunday, to help out this worthy endeavour. Game one saw those pesky J&D Hawks continue on their win streak with a 2-0 victory over the Pineridge Phantoms. The Phantoms gang have been patiently waiting in the wings for the Blazers or Chargers to falter, but they didn't realize that the Hawks have been on a rollin the last few games! Ray Gibson was at his best to earn the Hawk shutout while "Captain" Callery scored unas- sisted, and Peter Lane found the net from Joe Curran to seal the victory for the J&D crew. Kevin Dearborne filled in for Shawn Parker in the Phantom net and is now looking for a new mask, compliments of a Carl Durward blast! Game two saw the Pizza De- light Devils rebound from a "burn" last Sunday to defeat the Taylor Aces 6-3. This was any- thing but a tidy match as the Devils showed flashes of power, then the Aces, and finally the Devils! The bouncing puck may have been a good excuse but in- any case the Devils continue to lead what has become known as the Tier Two Division! Bill Foote, Steve Dunn, and Brian "Red" Stevenson led the Devils with four-point outings apiece. Foote had the hat trick and an assist. Dunn scored the winner and had three assists. Red cashed in on four assists. Mike Driscoll pumped in two goals while relative Bob Beve- ridge added a single. Assists saw John Mackey with a pair and singles to Beveridge, Ken Smart Jr. and Ken Smart Sr. to round out the Devils attack. . For the Aces, Todd Wilbur, Ken Little and "Legend" Shee- hey found the net. Wayne Nor- ton and Mike Kane both had a pair of assists, with singles to Sheehey and Rick Campbell. Game three featured the "Clash of the Titans" for first place honors! For weeks, the co- leaders have been waiting for a head-to-head match. Despite only a minimum turnout, the Harrison Blazers gained the bragging rights with a 4-3 victo- ry over the Monsma Chargers. The Blazers have some tie games but have kept their un- defeated season intact! Once again, John Harman led the Blazer attack with two goals and an assist. Jim Beatty needs to be checked for steroids as he added a goal and an assist to surpass all personal records! Larry Jackson also had a goal and an assist with Steve Churchill and sponsor "Sparky" Dave Harrison adding single helpers for this important victo- ry The Monsma replies saw Lee Wilbur with a pair and a single to Jason Warner. Tony Oxley had two assists while sin- gle helpers went to Warner, Du- ane Bronson and Bill Bridge.

Van World sponsor, Mike Adam, has vowed that a trip to Santa with alist of "wish- es" should get the Sharks back in the tank before Christmas! Some say the tank may have a "bowl shape" come playoffs. Great Gambler performances by Mark Decosta, Carl Durham, Bryan Norton, Ken Jeffrey and Jamie Taylor kept these River- boat Boys in fourth place over- all with visions of first place a reality! Decosta had five assists while Durham notched one and added four assists. Norton had two and two, while Jeffrey had the hat trick, and Taylor added a goal and two assists! Robert Evans had the remaining coun- ter and also added an assist, while Steve Groves completed the Gambler attack with an as- sist. For the Sharks, Steve Con- ners and Mark Jobb had a goal each. Single assists went to Randy Prosser, Greg Fitzgerald and Scott Davis. Game five saw Week 15 end with a penalty-free game as the Fitzgerald Clippers blasted the Compton Comets 16-0!. The Clippers have had some prob- lems getting on track this sea- son, but they were firing on all cylinders in-this one to blow the Comets out of orbit! Bob Strickert started and Bil- ly Eade took over midway through the first period to cap- ture the Clipper shutout. Larry Pilkey continued on a scoring tear with three goals and an as- sist. Harvey Williams netted a pair and sponsor, Carl Fitzge- rald, added the single and an as- sist. Both Glen Hudson and "Roc" Owen notched two assists while singles went to Doug Bronson, Jody Peters, Steve Lee and Tom Patton. in this Clipper victory that tied them in the overall standings with the Comets! The current injury report has Charger forward Paul Van Camp recovering from a shoul- der problem, Devils goaltender Doug MacSween still nursing a sore back and, unfortunately, Shark defenceman Doug Seeley out for the season. Best wishes for improved health are extend- ed to these three league mem- bers. Once again, everyone is re- minded of the "Owen Chal- lenge" to assist Operation Scu- gog next Sunday!

Compton Cable made several gallant efforts to get back into the game and were finally re- warded with a goal by Ashley Lucas from Der- ek Goreski, and Nelson Langmaid. Unfortu- Gallant effort from Compton squad Bradford ventured to Port Perry Thursday, Dec. 8 to complete the second half of home and home series. A fine pass from Ashley Lucas en- abled Compton Cable's Derek Goreski to put Port Perryn the scoreboard first. Strong defensive play by Kory Bauer, Taylor Churchill, and Todd Lance kept Port Perry ahead until the second period. Bradford let loose a flurry of four unanswered goals in spite of persistent digging in the offensive end by Kyle Mullins, Keenan Geer, and Tyson Sav- nately time ran out giving Bradford the victory. Saturday, Dec. 10, Markham came to town. Aggressive checking and fine passing plays put Markham out ahead by four goals. Compton Cable skated well with them. Nelson Lan Shane Jeffrey and big-hearted Danny Halward, shut down Markham in the second period. Call up Matthew Charron fit in well with Kyle Mullins and Keenan Geer where all displayed strong two-way play. The line of Derek Goreski, Ashley Lucas, and Cassidy Weber had many of- fensive chances which finally culminated into a goal by Ashley Lucas from her linemates. Mat- thew Roth, Tyson Savage, and Michael Lycett also played strong demonstrating the successful further development of the offensive lines. aid, I me
