SCRAMBLING FOR THE puck are Junior B hockey players in
action between the Peninsula Eagles and Parksville at the
Panorama Leisure Centre, Oct. 23. The Eagles (in the
lighter Colors) earned a hard-fought 8-5 victory.

| Saanich & the Islands

The Peninsula Atom Rep Eagles
hockey team stretched its unbeaten
record to 15 games after a very
successful road trip on the week-
end.

A crushing 18-1 victory over
Comox on Sunday followed a 124
drumming of Campbell River on
Saturday.

Coach Murray Kosick said Sun-
day’s win was the result of “a
terrific team effort.”

“Great passing and a strong
offence kept their team penned in
its own end most of the time,” he
said.

And the Eagles tured in a fine
performance against Campbell
River, as the players once again
played together like a well-oiled
machine, he said.

“The kids really rallied well
after Friday night’s disappoint-
ment,” he said.

Mixed fortunes for Junior Eagles

The Peninsula Junior B Eagles
hockey team had mixed fortunes in
its last two league games.

An Oct. 23 win over top-placed
team Parksville was followed by an
8-4 loss to Kerry Park on Saturday.

A very physical game that saw
four ejections kept the Eagles from
playing a smooth and fluid style of
hockey for much of the Kerry Park

game, assistant coach Jim Townley .

said.

And poor refereeing didn’t help
the Eagles much either, he said.

“It was a case of one-sided
refereeing throughout,” he said.

With 43 shots on goal to the
Islander’s 48 shots, the scoreline
was not a true reflection of the
level of competitiveness, he said.

“Tn terms of scoring opportuni-
ties, we were about even. But they
had a really hot goaltender who
made a lot of really crucial saves,”
he said.

In earlier action, Townley said
his team both outplayed and out-
shot Parksville while skating to a
8-5 win at the Panorama Leisure
Centre.

“We dominated the play from
the drop of the puck,” he said.

“We put out a real aggressive
line and kept the pressure on.”

And the up-and-at-them style of
play paid off handsomely early on,
with the Eagles taking a com-
manding 3-0 lead in the first
period.

But Parksville wouldn’t take
such a drumming lying down and
the visitors fought back by scoring
five goals in an action-packed
second period, he said.

The Eagles added two more
goals in the second period but felt
the sting of seeing the team’s lead
eroded away to one goal.

So a fired-up Eagles team began
the final period determined not to
let the game slip out of its grasp,

he said. : :
“We came out in the third

period and really tumed the burn-
ers on,” Townley said.

Firing home three more goals,
the Eagles once again put them-
selves in the driving seat.

And strong defensive play kept
Parksville down to a solitary goal
in the final minutes, he said.

Lawrence Bourke was the
Eagles’ standout, with two goals
and two assists to his credit, Town-
ley said.

And a rookie line — made up of
Pat Papineau, Rick Ackinclose and
Rod Sekulich — provided the best
forechecking on the night.

All in all, the impressive per-
formance by the Eagles can be
attributed to a solid team effort, he
said.

“When we play well as a team,
there’s not another team in the
league that can compare to us,
player for player,” he said.

The Eagles’ ability to play excit-
ing ice hockey — like that dis-

played in the win over Parksville
— is attracting more and more
fans to home games, Townley said.

The Eagles’ next game is
against the Saanich Braves at
Pearkes Arena in Saanich tonight.
Action gets under way at 8:15 p.m.

lull themselves into a sense of
complacency in dropping a point

After taking an early 4-1 lead,
the Eagles sat back and allowed
Victoria to claw its way back into

The final 4-4 score taught the
