(photo/Nina Van By Nina Van Lieshout TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF LUCAN — A 3-2 overtime loss Saturday against the Elora Rocks has eliminated the Lucan Ilderton Jets from the playoff race. "It was a good effort by Lucan but Elora are the defending champs," says Lucan Ilderton Jets general manager Rob Andrews. "They're a strong team." The Jets led 1-0 in the first during Saturday's game after a goal by Tim Parsons. After the second the teams were tied 2-2. By the end of the third with just 1:07 remaining, the Rocks were one up on Lucan with 3- 2 on the scoreboard. Just as it looked like the Jets would be facing elimination in just over a minute, a penalty shot was awarded to Lucan for a delay of the game. Forward Parsons took the shot and scored. Andrews says anyone watching the game must have been amazed at Parsons. "When Parsons went up he brought the puck back between his legs, continuing on to shot the puck which went in the net, tying the game and forcing overtime," says Andrews. The Jets' run ended 1:44 into the overtime after a strong start for Elora. "It was a good game all around," says Andrews. "Dave Riddell played a strong game in net," he adds. Friday night in Elora, the Rocks beat the Jets 7-2, out - shooting Lucan 57-20. Mark Williams played a strong game in net. The Jets did have a disad- vantage—Mike Robb was out due to an injury which required surgery. Robb was out of the hospital Monday and is doing well. Andrews was pleased with the fans, supporters and spon- sors throughout the year. Recruitment for next season will begin as soon as possible.
