The Jets rebounded Saturday night with their home opener against Goderich by defeating the Pirates 10-3. Jets general man- ager Rob Andrews said the team decid- ed to go for a differ- ent style this year with more speed instead of size. "We think we've found it," said Andrews. The Jets took a 3-0 lead against Clinton but the Radars came back in the third period to tie before winning it three min- utes into overtime. Despite the loss, Andrews said he is pleased with three out of four points over the weekend. Lucan-Ilderton won't be back in Lucan until late November with a string of road games as well as a game scheduled for Ilderton Nov. 22. "I like the look of the team and so do the coaches," said Andrews. The Jets are in Monkton Friday at 8:30 p.m. and visit Milverton on Saturday, also at 8:30 p.m. Comments: Great defense played by all the girls. Great forechecking in the Forest end allowed for some great goals.

Brydges. Lucan is gunning for that top spot, and coach Russ Morningstar thinks his squad is capable of winning the division. "I think we have a good shot at it," he said. "In saying that, there's also two other teams in Parkhill [North Middlesex] and Mt. Brydges that are going to put you through your paces on a daily basis. "If you take a night off, it's going to haunt you. The two points that you lose out on today could have big effects come February." Lucan was tested Saturday against North Middlesex, losing 4-3 in a shootout. North Middlesex struck first in the game, thanks to a power play goal by Alex Avery. Lucan answered back late in the first period with a power play goal of its own, courtesy of Kevin Dean. Dean put Lucan ahead at 2:16 in the second period, with assists from Tyler Medd and Zack Yeo. North Middlesex struck back with consecutive goals in the third, however, before Lucan's Dustin McTaggart evened the score at the 12 -minute mark. Overtime settled nothing, and Lucan failed to convert during a four -player shootout. North Middlesex scored twice. Morningstar felt both teams played sluggishly, and that neither played overly well. "Both teams were pretty evenly matched," he said. "I thought we played OK at times, and then at other times I thought we played pretty poorly, so it was a mixed bag of hammers."

(photo/Ben Forrest) The Irish played well in patches, Morningstar said, and a lack of focus might have contributed to their sluggish play. "I think we had our minds on something other than hockey to begin the game with," he said. "The biggest thing is just to remember that we have 60 minutes ... We just need to come out and compete for 60 and put full games together in order to be successful on a regular basis." Lucan fared better on Oct. 15 against the Exeter, win- ning 5-2. Exeter opened the scoring with a power play goal from Shayne Mudge but tied it up two minutes later with a goal from Adam Hartman. Lucan's Jeff Boyd put the Irish ahead shortly after that, and Exeter's Kenney Allen evened the score shortly after the 11 -minute mark. Hartman put the Irish ahead for good in the second period, and Tyler Medd and Zack Yeo contributed the remaining goals. "I thought we played one of our better games against Exeter," said Morningstar. "It was more of a complete game. Our biggest problem is the guys like to try and get out of the system and run and gun a little bit and start floating. I thought we put together our closest game to 60 minutes against them." Morningstar acknowledged Exeter's strong play in the first period, but noted that adjustments made by the Irish helped them improve in the game's second and third frames. "I think we kind of settled down and got our bodies in the shooting lane and tried to force Exeter to move it elsewhere," he said. "So I think we made just those slight adjustments in our play." Lucan's next match will be Saturday at Mt. Brydges, a team Morningstar anticipates will be neck and neck with Lucan and North Middlesex this season. Morningstar claims not to be worried about what other teams are doing in the season to date. "Until we can get our game down to being disciplined and our systems working and power plays and that, we just concentrate on what we need to correct and where we need to be focussed on, and we'll take it from there," he said.
