McClelland The struggling Port Perry MoJacks continue to have their problems as they were doubled 8-4 by the Stouffville Clippers Sunday night at the Scugog Arena. It was the third loss in a row for the home team, while the Clippers have been undefeated in their last ten outings. Clippers took a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals by Steve Price and Ted Waite, the first at 7:28 with MoJacks Stu Cochrane sitting out a holding penalty, and the second while playing short-handed in the final minute of the period. On the goal by Waite, the MoJacks were guilty of some sloppy clearing in their own end, a problem which plagued the team throughout the entire game. Early in the second period, Port Perry got back into the game when Rob Garrow scored on a power play at the 18 second mark. It came off a strange scramble in front of the Clipper net with the puck bouncing high in the air and landing behind the red line. Rob Greiner tied the score for the MoJacks at the 6:51 mark, also in a power play as he slammed home a rebound off the stick of captain Bill Bridge. However, Stouffville went ahead for good at the 16 minute mark when Steve Price got his second of the game with newcomer Mike Mitchell off for slashing. And with 39 seconds left in the middle period, Clipper captain Glen Gibson made it 4-2 from a scramble in front of. MoJack goalie Raymond Gibson. Stouffville put the game away at the seven minute mark of the third when Bill Ackroyd found himself with a loose puck in front of the MoJack net and made it 5-2. Kelly Neals was serving an elbowing penalty at the time. MoJacks tried to get a come-back started in the middle of the period when Stu Cochrane tipped a Steve Jones slap shot into the net, but ten seconds later Glen Gibson ripped a hard shot from the right side to give the Clippers a three goal margin. Rob Garrow, with his second of the night lofted a puck over Dean Howse to make it 6-4 after the MoJacks had put on strong pressure in the Clipper end of the rink. However, two goals late in the contest by Steve Shell and Kevin Bartley put the icing on the cake, and both of these markers came when MoJacks were unable to get the puck out of their own end. Aside from the numerous defensive lapses, the MoJacks scoring punch sputtered throughout the game, with players missing passes, overskating the puck or giving it away in the neutral zone. When MoJacks did work themselves into position for a good shot on goal, they were thwarted on a couple of occasions by Howse. Rob Garrow and Phil Cochrane both had clear shots on net, but were not able to find the andle. ippers on the other hand were skating and hustling most of the evening, bump- ing the MoJacks off the puck, and the wingers did a good job of back-checking. Although eight pucks got by him in the Port Perry goal, Ray Gibson could not be faulted on most of them, and he kept his team in the game during the first two periods with several good saves, including one on a clear-cut breakaway. Port Perry was without the services of defenseman Bill Owen who was sitting out the second half of a two-game suspension, and it was obvious that the team missed his ability to clear opposing forwards from in front of the net. For the most part, it was rather a slow-paced match, and the tempo was deadened even more by 11 minor penalties to each club. And each team scored three of its goals on the power play. _ Although Port Perry is assured of making the first round of the playoffs, the team is jostling with Uxbridge and Beaverton, with just a point or two separating the three clubs. Port Perry is hoping to finish either sixth or seventh overall, as under the playoff structure, the first place will meet the eighth place, the second will meet the seventh the third the sixth and so on. The MoJacks now have five games left in the schedule, two against last (Turnto page 11) Stouffville Clipper goalie pounce on a loose puck near the crease during Junior C contest Sunday night in Port Perry. Clippers had Port Perry tops ( by David Bruce Port Perry moved into first place in the Pine Ridge Christian Reformed Hockey League last week with a win and tie in regular season play. On Thursday night, Port took on Bowmanville Car Wash at Hampton Sports Centre and had no trouble dumping the league leaders by a score of 6 to 1. In the first period, four unanswer- ed goals, two by Harry Piersma and one each by Ed and Theo Pypker, put Port Perry out in front to stay. Broomball League Action Bowmanville never untracked and failed to getfa single shot on goal, as Port's excellent two-way play gave them no skating room what SO ever. John Kuipers supplied the only scoring of the second when he unleashed a power- ful shot from the right face- off circle that caught the top corner on the glove side before the Bowmanville goalkeeper had time to react. Twice in that same period, substitute coach, John Kuipers Sr. and assist- ant Paul Jones, were called Larocque - Emmerson tie Brians Towing held Utica Farm Equipment off the scoreboard for almost two periods in the first game of the day before bowing out in a 3-0 score. With 2:26 to go in the second period Mike Mole snapped a shot past Brian's goaltender Jim O'Neill with assists going to Len Mec- Enaney and Mike Mitchell. Just one minute later Keith Ellicott drove one in from Mike Mitchell to end the period at 2-0. Jack Monsma rounded out the score on a pass from Tim Ashbridge early in the third period to give Utica the win. Don Card, playing in the nets again got a shut-out. Captain Mark Lee led C & B to a 4-0 win over Beacock's in the second game as he picked up three goals. On the first shift of the game Larry Page fired one in from close range to put C & B ahead with assists going to Ken Fraser and Ken Jeffrey. In the second Lee picked up two of his three goals with assists going to Bruce Wood- row and two to Kevin Martens. Beacock's had two breakaways in the game, but were stopped by Keith Fraser who picked up his sixth shut out of the season. Mark Lee got the last goal from Bill Owen to end it 4-0. Emmerson's and Laroc- que remained tied in the standings due to some good goaltending and wide goal posts at either end. The score in this one was 1-1 as Barry McLure scored unassisted for Larocque's and Bart Wagar notched Emmerson's on a set-up from Jim Ward. The final, once again Emmersons - 1, Larocque - one. Dean Howse gets set to 4 the better of play and took advantage of MoJack miscues on defence en route to an easy 8-4 victory. injuries incurred by Ivan De Jong and Ron Kuipers. Neither proved to be serious. John Bronsma's shut-out was ruined in the third period when Ed Vermeulen bounced one in off his skate from a difficult angle. Later, the frustration showed when a Bowmanville player was penalized for holding. "A disgusted bang of the stick and a few foul words to the official brought him a further minor for unsports- manlike conduct, a ten minute misconduct and a two game suspension. The scoring was rounded out by Paul Sytsma late in gthe third, making good a pass from the corner on the power play. The win gave Port Perry a first place tie with Bowman- ville, and extended their unbeated streak to eleven games. Having played one less game they needed only to avoid a loss to possess the sole claim to the league lead. Oshawa Sand and Gravel, the only team to manage a point against Port during the streak, provided stiff opposi- tion on Saturday night in Manvers. Port Perry came out flat- footed and was outhustled on every turn. A horrendous display of passing and a general confusion prevailed for Port and it was once again up to netminder John Bronsma to keep his team in rch Hockey League "out onto the ice to inspect it. While Oshawa was able to apply the pressure contin- uously, the home team's only chance came when defense- man Sandy Kiezebrink, while killing a penalty, took the puck and broke down the left boards. With the goalie down and at his mercy, he became a {victim of the curved stick as he was unable to lift a backhand over for the score. It was not until 9:03 of the second that the inevitable happened. Donald Prins was able to poke one past Brons- ma during one of the frequent scrambles in front of the Port Perry goal. Asin the first, Oshawa bottled up Port giving them no chance to manoeuvre. Port Perry, playing under the banner of Rensink Construction, got a game- saving break with both teams a man short. Nick Stevens made recompense for his three earlier penalties by unleashing a slapshot from the left point which Theo Pypker deflected in for the score at 4:10 of the third. The new surge evident in Port Perry after this goal was quickly put down as Oshawa beautifully killed off an elbowing penalty. Last minute pressure by the Sand and Gravel boys failed to produce and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Frustration was the order of the night for Oshawa as (Turn to page 11)
