The Huron Expositor, 1994-01-26, Page 66 -THE HURON EXPOSITOR, January 26, 1994 Sports Centenaires win exciting comeback The oldtimers call it "turning it up a notch." The Centenaires did Sunday night when they rallied from three goals down to end a five -gape losing streak with a 5-4 victory over the North Middlesex Stars at the Seaforth and District Community Centres. Friday night the Cents played well on home ice in front of a nice crowd on "Minor Sports Night" but fell 5-3 to the Mitchell Hawks, the defending champions and Western Division leaders in the Ontario Hockey Association's Jun- ior Development League. Sunday night's dramatic comeback was the first win of the New Year for the sixth-place Cents who now have a 14-13-4 record and play again Saturday night at 8:30 at Mt. Brydges. Seaforth hosts Lucan in its next home game Tuesday night at 8 p.m Prospects were depressing for local fans late in the second period Sunday night with Seaforth trailing 4-1. Then goaltender Jamie Redmond stifled a Stars breakaway that might have made things even gloomier, and a combination of familiar faces and new pulled the Centenaires back from the brink. Andy Scott, who has struggled making the adjustment to junior after scoring 32 goals and adding 27 assists for the Goderich Midgets last season, started the comeback driving to the net with the first of his two goals, a 'wraparound' that went in off the back of the goalie's pads with 5:34 remaining in the second period. Less than two min- utes later Ted Sills feathered a pass through the slot to Paul McLlwain who made it 4-3 going into the third. Scott then drilled the low hard equalizer, his ninth of this season, past Stars goalie Andy Glavin just 1:49 into the third setting the stage for captain Karsten Carroll who, fresh from a three-point perform - ante at the All Star game the night before, found the inside of the post K with the winning goal on a slapshot DAVID SCOTT PHOTO WHICH WAY DID HE GO? - Number 22 of the Mitchell Hawks and Centenaire Joe Murray appear to mirror each others' movements in Friday's Junior Development hockey action at the Seaforth arena. The league -leading Mitchell Hawks won the game 5-3. Murray had an assist in Fridays loss and three points in Sunday's home victory against the North Middlesex Stars. Friday was Minor Sports Night at the arena. from the point with 6:22 left in the game. Rookie Joe Murray, from Dublin, is now scoring at almost a point -a - game clip, following a three-point performance. His 10th goal of the season started things off for the Cents and he chipped in two assists to the comeback, giving him a total of 12 so far. Ben Sen also had two assists for Seaforth, and Karsten and Kalen Carroll one apiece. Ref- eree Jeff Smith handed out a total of seven minor penalties in the game, four to Seaforth. HAWKS 5 - CENTENAIRES 3 The Centenaires continued this season's tendency of playing better against the division's best teams than they do against teams the standings indicate they should handle quite easily. The two old rivals were tied at 1- 1 after the first period but Seaforth again had difficulty finding the range, although they came tantaliz- ing close on a couple of occasions, and Mitchell took a 3-1 lead after two periods and increased that to 4- 1 early in the third. Then the Cents struck twice in 18 seconds to make things interesting -far the final 12 DAVID SCOW PIIOTo CHECK IT OUT - Jason MacKenzie holds one of the possible NHL jerseys to be won at Minor Sports Night on Friday at the arena which featured special draws, a Seaforth Mites exhibition game in between the first and second periods of the Centenaires/Mitchell Hawks game, and a puck -stacking contest between the second and third.
