Morristown Ice Hockey Mt. Olive , 12/28/98

Coming off our recent loss to Mendham, Morristown again looked like they'd rather be
somewhere other than Mennen Arena.  The game was only mildly interesting, with no
great plays by either team.

Our scoring started 5 minutes into the first period when Steve Markowitz scored off a
Jeff Atkins pass. A minute later PJ Scriff scored off an Atkins and Jeff Leloia pass. Two
minutes later Scriff scored, unassisted, on a short handed goal.

There was no scoring in the second.

In the third Scriff got his hat trick goal, with assists to Markowitz and Atkins.

Dan Markowitz faced 21 Mt. Olive shots, allowing two, included one that bounced off our
defenseman's stick.  The Mt Olive goalie, Mike Gnozzio, stopped 30 of 34 shots.

Some big penalties in this game. Steve Markowitz got a 10 minute misconduct for
incorrectly believing that the ref wanted his opinion on a call.  Mike Flaherty got a
DQ (automatically at least a 2 game suspension) for a kick, and Gordon Cunningham
got a 5 minute for a slash.

Overal, we had 5 penalties for 24 minutes, and Mt Olive had 3 for 9 minutes.
