January 3, 19104-11 Cents rock in New Year with romp The Seaforth Centenaires rocked in the New Year with a 10-2 romp over the Hagarsville Hawks Sunday afternoon at the Seaforth and District Com- munity Centres, leaving them in third place of the rollicking Morenz Division of the Ontario Hockey Association's Junior "D"evelopment League, two poin!`s behind but with a game in hand on the second -place Lucan Irish 6 who they tangle with two times this week. It capped a busy and frustrating Christmas span in which the local junior hockey team pulled in healthy holiday crowds but twice -lost in the fleeting final seconds of enter- taining defensive battles, but on the other hand also recorded their first shutout in two seasons and managed to pick up five of a possible eight points in four games in 10 days. Friday the North Middlesex Stars, fresh from upsetting Exeter the weekend before and looking like anything but a last -place team, scored the winner on a powerplay with a scant six seconds left in regulation time at Scaforth to edge the Centenaires 3-2. Two nights before at Mitchell began the bad flashback that unfolded as it shouldn't, following al- most the exact same script, except the hometown Hawks won 5-4 and scored the winner on a powerplay with just 10 seconds remaining in overtime, which at least earned the Cents a point for the standings. The previous Friday night on home ice, goaltcnder Scott Wood administered the goose egg as an early Christmas present to those same Hawks, as Seaforth broke a scoreless deadlock after two periods and skated to a 4-0 win. The midget -aged local goalie got the starting call for all four CENTS 4 HAWKS 5 OT Fust Period 1. Mit, J.

Despite a troublesome four losses and one tic in five over- times so far this season, the Ceutenaires now have a respec- table winning percentage of .635 entering their crunch run, a final six or so weeks of the regular schedule in which they play a dozen games, seven on the road and five at home. First -place Exeter is almost too far in front of the five -team pack, nine points in front of Scaforth with games in hand, to realistically catch. Second place in the Morenz may swfiig on the- borne -and - home series between the two closest contenders, Lucan and thc Cents, this week. The Centenaires host Delhi Friday night at 8:30, then the Irish Sunday afternoon at 2:30. They travel to Lucan next Wednesday night for an 8:15 start. Teams must battle it out in their own divisions, then con- ference, to advance in this year's playoffs which begin the third week of February. C4TH 10 HAGARSVILLE 2 The Cents went on a share - the -wealth scoring rampage without three regular front-line forwards in the lineup (Steve Mclnally, Jason Henderson -and Don Rivers), all sitting out with shoulder injuries. Nine shooters scored the 10 goals, five on the powerplay. Mark VanDooren scored twice for Seaforth and Tim Barton, Jason Dunseith, Jeff Volland, Scott Wright, Brandon Cor- riveau, Shaun Anstett, Jason Hayter and Brent Hulley did the rest of the damage, as Scaforth jumped to a 3-0 lead after the first period and made it 5-1 after two in front of about 140 fans, out -shooting the visitors 45-29. STARS 3 CENTS 2 Ben Syer brought a tear to the eye and curse to the lips of many fans in the home crowd of about 150 when he scored the winner with but a half- dozen ticks left on the tock. • The two teams stood at 1-1 after the first period, with Corriveau scoring on ' a breakaway for Seaforth, and the score stayed that way after two. Mclnally gave the Cents the lead with a little more than seven minutes gone in the final period, but the veteran North Middlesex club equalized on a powerplay with slightly more than five minutes left. The Stars out -shot Seaforth 32-27. HAWKS 5 CENTS 4 (OT) Rob Lewis scored the winner with 10 tocks left to tick in overtime, with Seaforth once again occupying the penalty box. The Centenaires felt the winning play was offside, but referee Ray McManus would hear none of it, as Seaforth continued to struggle in OT. Jeff Lewis completed a hat trick to send the game into extra time with less than two minutes to go in the third period. Hulley also had a hat trick for the Cents, whose other goal was scored by Volland. CENTS 4 HAWKS 0 Wood was full measure for the shut out, the first for the Cents since league first -team all-star Dana Duskocy notched four during the 93-94 regular season, as Jeff Flanagan, Van- Dooren, McInally and Rivers scored four unanswered goals in final 20 minutes to end the scoreless "sister -kisser" in front of a pre -Christmas crowd of slightly more than 200 fans in Seaforth. ANDY BADF.R P11010 HANGING IN THERE - The Seaforth Centenaires still have a pretty good shot at second place following four games in 10 days over the Christmas holidays. Cents' defenceman Terry Barton (27) chases Mitchell's Craig Eidt in this photo taken last Wednesday night at Mitchell, where the Seaforth juniors dropped an overtime decision. Seaforth goaltender Scott Wood, playing well enough lately to earn a berth in the upcoming league all-star game, is in the background.

( )bowling resumes Jan. 5) NOTHING HAPPENED? Because Monday was a statutory holiday the deadline for this edition was late last week, before many holiday week tournaments (Silver Stick, etc.) were completed. We will endeavour to include these results in next week's SCOREBOARD. Teams should also start thinking about arranging to have their tures taken for our annual Winter Sports Edition which comes out later this year. Why leave it until the last minute and end up with a lousy picture that nobody likes, with half the team maybe not there? To schedule a winter sports tears picture for our photographer please call Gregor or Dave at 527- 0240. Any team that plays any winter sport in Seaforth is eligible to get its picture in That popular special edition. Broombull results for Dec. 20 and 21 on pg. 10 4 Mac's return short-lived Dave McLlwain return to the - big leagues was short-lived last month. The eight-year National Hockey League veteran of six teams who was loaned to the IHL's Cleveland Lumberjacks after training camp last fall was called up to Ottawa for what turned out to be one game, a 2- 1 loss in which he recorded an assist on the woeful Senators' lone goal. Ottawa's general manager Randy Sexton was fired that weekend, and one of the first moves of new Ottawa manager Pierre Gauthier was to deter- mine the Senators had too many bodies. So it was back to the Lum- berjacks for Dave, who remains one of the top scorers in that league. McLlwain has been selected to play for the Eastern Con- ference at the IHL all-star game at Houston on Jan. 13. Watt earns two assists Mike Watt of Egmondville has earned two assists helping Team Canada to a perfect 4-0 record so far at the World Junior Hockey Championships in the Boston arca. Canada plays Russia this • afternoon at 3:30 in the tour- nament semi-finals. Sweden takes on the Czech Republic in today's other semi-final. • A win today would put the three -time defending world champions who wear the big red maple leaf in tomorrow's (Thursday) final scheduled for 7:30 p.m. • Watt, 19 and a sophomore for the Michigan State Univer- sity Spartans, assisted on what proved to be the winning goal of Canada's important preliminary round win against Finland, and assisted on another in Canada's 8-1 slaughter of thc depleted Uk- rainian junior squad in Canada's last start Sunday. Equipment swiped A player on thc Scaforth midgets had his hockey equip- ment swiped at a tournament in Stratford Iasi week. Police say the gear was valued at about $1,1(X) and was stolen from Michael Murray. Among other items he lost two •crestal Scaforth minor hockey sweaters, bearing thc number 17. The Canadians arc fighting the flu bug this week, but because of their perfect record in the preliminaries got a byc through Monday's quarter- finals.
