Carly Price of Egmondville led all shooters in the game with 25 points. Seaforth Juniors lose two games during weekend play The Seaforth Centenaires can't beat anybody but themselves these days. They fell below .500 for the first time since last season by virtue of a pair of weekend losses, 5-2 to the charging Lucan Irish 6 at Ilderton Saturday night after a pitiful performance on home ice Friday - a 7-3 humiliation by the Port Stanley Lakers. After starting the Ontario Hockey Association's Junior Development League season with six wins in seven games the local juniors have now lost seven of eight and tumbled from a share of first place to seventh with a slim one point lead over the two teams now tied for the eighth and last playoff position in the Western Division. On the positive side, with anybody knocking off everybody else on any given night this season only five points separate the second and eighth -place clubs. Because scheduling was done by computer this season the Cents play the, Irish again tonight at 8:15 p.m. at Lucan, and yet again, but this time on home ice Friday at 8:30 at the Seaton)) and District Community Centres. Seaforth plays another home game Sunday night at 8 p.m. when Exeter's Hawks come a calling. The Centenaires played like hippies in the sunshine this weekend, but better Saturday night than they did Friday, which may not be saying much, since they were playing the league leaders in the first game and the cellar - dwellers in the second. Seaforth trailed 1-0 early in the second period at Ilderton after their point man on thc powerplay went for a figurc skate along the boards with no one backing him up and Lucan scored shorthanded. Then Seaforth forward Jason Dunseith was run from behind with a vicious check by Lucan dcfenceman Bryan Stiefel, leading to a lengthy delay while "Dunce" was taken from the ice with a back injury on a stretcher and transported to University Hospital in London. Lucan had another checking from behind ejection within two minutes but the Centenaires couldn't connect on the subsequent powcrplays. Then the Cents scored but soon another Seaforth forward had his pocket picked lollygagging out of his own zone shorthanded, and the Irish again capitalized. Next the Seaforth self-destruction began in Gamest as a couple of silly penalties helped thc Irish score four goals in three and a half minutes and run their winning streak to three. Steve Mc[natty took an unsportsmanlike penalty for dribbling a half-hearted shot at net after the whistle, and Lucan scored on the powerplay less than a minute later. Shortly thereafter Mike Lauwacrt couldn't stop yipping and took another unsportsmanlike with his team already a man short, so the Irish put another one in the net 19 seconds later and before the second minor penalty expired lit the light again. Game over, except for the excuses. Special teams were the star of the game for the Irish who scored four powerplay goals and the other shorthanded. Jason Murray and Steve Geiger replied for the Centenaires. Lucan's rejuvenated powerplay had also connected three times in a 3-2 upset win over the Exeter Hawks Wednesday. Seaforth started the game with a couple of no shows including their assistant coach and trainer and only 13 skaters, but injuries and penalties left them with only five extras on the pine by the end of regulation. Friday night's crowd was surprisingly sparse, and perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, as the league -leading Lakers came with just 14 skaters and minus three of their best players but still managed to manhandle the locals with ease. They led 4-3 after the first period and never looked back, with McInally, Murray and Jeff Volland, who netted a buzzer -beater in the last nano -second of the first period, scoring the Centenaires' goals. Defenceman Kalen Carroll missed both weekend games because of injury. Forward Ted Sills and trainer Patrick Moylan have both departed out West and dcfenceman Greg Matthison has quit the team, citing burnout as the reason. Backup goaltender Scott Wood has been cut and replaced by Chad Lamont, also from the Seaforth midgets. see Centenaires, page 14 GREGOR CAMPBELL PHOTO NOVICE ACTION The Seaforth novices beat Parkhill in this game at the Peter Flanagan Memorial Novice Hockey Tournament at the arena on the weekend.
