were too worried about not going in the corners once they start getting hit theyre afraid j as coach fitzpatrick said it j was the stouffviue team that started the game taking the body as they did in their previous j roundrobin games and as in the previous contests the clippers forgot about the physical game af- iter the opposition began dishing out checks of their own j consequently cobourg took advantage of their intimidated j rivals and rolled to a 20 lead after j one period early in the second cobourg widened the gap to three goals af ter solid forechecking and a give away in the stouffviue end the clippers replied minutes later when one of the few aggres sive hometeam players todd balazs fought off a check and made the pass to centreman jason underwood who slapped it into the corner along the ice an altercation between brad blacktopp of stouffviue and paul wilson of cobourg seemed to breathe some life into the lethar gic clippers with a fiveonthree advantage todd balazs walked out from the opposition corner and lifted a backhander into the top of the cage narrowing the score to 32 cobourgs insurance marker came at 1233 of the third frame stouffviue allowed the cobourg defenceman to gain an opening and fire the rubber to the short- side an individual effort by jason underwood into the five hole made the contest close but by no means as close as the score would indicate weve gone over and over these plays in practice but it doesnt seem to sink in admitted the disheartened coach they just dont know how to adjust to a certain style of play they begin to revert back to the old style no hitting when guys like jason under wood and todd balazs stop hitting and skating the other guys on the bench start to think its okay not to take the man we only have a few players who can really put the puck in the net we have to play a disciplined style jeff cowley and greg frederick are role players they may have trouble sometimes scoring but theyre players that do their job brandon pridham leads peewees to big victory the stouffviue disl credit un ion pee wee clippers did it the hard way coming back to win a g5 playdown with cobourg it was the first time the

lot of heart and gave it a good effort said cocoach mike jones cobourgs a good team but weve beaten them be fore in the regular season and in a tournament in peterborough i think they got a couple of good bounces and their goalie played exceptionally well we just have to skate a little harder and beat them to the puck coach jones concluded i think it was a good team effort added clipper captain ryan burkholder it was a pret ty close game but by the third period we tired and didnt have the energy it was that lack of energy that resulted in the tying goal midway through the third frame after two periods of outplaying their rivals stouffviue found them- selve ahead by only a single with ryan burkholder and geoff smith accounting for the clippers 21 lead midway through the third frame cobourg tied the contest on a wristshot to the glove side of sanford in spite of tired legs the stouff viue boys forged on but couldnt seem to find the range unfortu nately for them cobourg did and
