stouff ville midget clippers held bow- manville to a 66 tie at the recrea tion centre friday night the beckers clippers who had lost to the visitors 105 in their only other encounter of the season had their opponents on the ropes twice in the hard fought contest but bowmanville proved to be a de termined bunch clipper coach ray steel had predicted at the beginning of the game that the fans were in for a fast rough hockey game with close checking we can keep up with them if we skate he had said and skate they did following through on checks and creating quick breaks for themselves while the play was physical the penalty count was low when com pared to some games they have been involved in this season the first period gave the im pression of a low scoring contest as there was no scoring until there was just over 3 minutes remain ing kevin francis connected from jason underwood on a bang- bang passing play right in front of the bowmanville goal less than a minute later the mighty smythe kirk that is stole the puck just feet in front of the opposition net and made no mis take firing home a quick low drive the clippers continued their attack in the second period with kirk smythe drilling one that found its way into the net even though the bowmanville goalie managed to slow it down with his glove but a giveaway resulted in bowmanville finally getting on the scoreboard with mark tripp tapping it home that was all the visitors needed to find their scor ing touch and they proceeded to rack up three more unanswered goals by neil taylor brad carne gie and rob real to take a 43 lead following a nasty little display of beligerence that resulted in the ejection from the game of clip pers aaron mcwilliams and his bowmanville counterpart the re feree awarded a penalty shot to the clippers kirksmythe was up ended by the bowmanville goalie as smythe tried to skate past him as they both chased a loose puck by the faceoff circle smythe took the puck at centre moved in at about half speed made a few moves then ripped a blazing wrist shot into the upper right hand corner to tie the score with only 13 seconds remaining in the period the clippers came out charging in the third with darren baston putting them in front again and kirk smythe potting his season high fourth of the night on a break away this time on a wicked shot into the upper left side but bowmanville would tip the seesaw in their favour once again storming back with two fin al goals to tie the game four mi nutes before it would be called on account of curfew smythe whose rampage gave him 26 goals on the season was eager to talk about the penalty shot at games end it was a do or die situation enthused the speedy forward it was a chance to tie it up and give us a big lift going into the third period smythe is fully aware of the fact that his wrist shot is a lethal weapon im pretty good at flick ing the puck up high he said in an obvious understatement the bowmanville goalie was pretty tall he went down and i put it up high coach steel was pleased with his teams effort the guys play ed real well he said and they were up against an excellent team we should have had them though kent smythe had two assists for stouffville craig stronach and darren baston had one each parents note dear parent before enrolling your child in any recreational activity this year 1 wonder if you ve considered
