Approximately 60 youngsters will be UMW- ing their hockey gear over their shoulder and will ..etreke out for three major Faster week tournaments in Brampton, Georgetown and Goderich, while 20 —more will leave home with their bowling shoes for • e trip to Sarnia. Red and Maxine Loader will spearhead the efirst excursion when they round up their pee wee ..libckey players to battle 26 other clubs in the °"C" division of the Goderich Young Canada Week. activities, They hook up with Chesley at 8:30 aen, (that's an early breakfast, mom) on Saturday, April 21, If they manage to come up with a win in that one, they head back on Monday for another [this is a holiday?) 8:30 fixture with either Watford. or Southampton. A win in this one will give them a crack at either Lambeth or Elora at 1:30 p.m. If the kids play well enough to remain un- defeated they play their next game on the follow- ing Saturday in the semi-final at 11:00 a.m. and in the final at 5:30 pan Although the kids have two early games, coach Red Loader pointed out that this will be an advantage because they will be the first team on the ice and it should be in good shape, which will definitely help the speedy crew, Another crew to leave town will be Dusty Burns' bantams who will be entered in the George- town affair, where they gained a berth in the finals last year. Their first game will be on Monday at 1:00 p.m. and they will match strides with Walkerton, who they ousted earlier this season in the WOAA "B" finals. Although the remainder of their schedule has riot reached Exeter yet, this is another knock- out tournament and the local pucksters will be in Georgetown, most of the week if they manage to keep on the win side of the results column. This club has lost only one contest this season when they were stopped 5-2 by Strathroy in the OMHA playoffs and should be considered as. one of the stronger teams in the week-long event. DEFENDING CHAMPS AT BRAMPTON Lorne Haugh, taking over the coaching _duties from Red Loader, will take his squirts to Brampton in an effort to defend the "D" champion- ship they brought home last year. The kids who range from eight to 10 years old will battle against 16 other clubs in their ctass- ification and play their first game this Saturday against Elora. The first game of the total-goals series starts at 12:30 and the second match. is at 6:30- A win in this one will send them against either Paisley or Winona on Monday and the next round will be played on Wednesday cif they are still in contention. The "D" final gets under way the follow- ing Saturday and the grand championship will be held later in the afternoon among the winners of the four categories. All three Exeter coaches expect to have their lineups fairly well complete as only two youngsters have indicated they can not make the trips. They all report that transportation is fairly well looked after as many parents have indicated they wilt make some of the trips. "That's the least of our worries." commented pee wee manager Max Loader, She reports that the parents of her puck- sters have been extremely co-operative all season in assisting with the kids. However, the other two gentlemen may have e bit more difficulty in securing transportation and if anyone has a few holidays planned for Easter week, we suggest they get in touch with either Lorne or Dusty and see if they can be of any assistance, We took in three tournaments last veat . And can assure anyone that the trip is well worth- while to any of the three centres because the kids put up an exciting brand of hockey and what they lack in experience they more than make up in de- terminatioe and sincerity. ANOTHER TITLE TO DEFEND Area youngsters have one other title to de- fend next week and that is .the bantam girls bowl' ing . championship in the fifth annual Western Counties tournament in Sarnia on Saturday, April 28. Coach Ruth Durand has entered four teams in the competition and judging from some of the scores reported in the minor leagues this year, should make a good account of themselves. The following Saturday the locals will be host to an invitation tournament at the loca l lanes and the following Saturday they journey to Kin. tiardine to play in the Lake Huron Zone .Recrea- tion. playoffs, Ruth reported she has drivers scheduled for the Sarnia trip but would appreciate a few value , tiers for the Kincardine trip on Saturday.

He indicated. that a meeting would be set up shortly if there „Appeared to be enough .interest, The Hensall-Zurich Combines have hit a major snag in their quest for the OHA junior "D" championship And they are go- ing to have to conic up nub a solution quickly if they hope. to overt a k _e the 1.5:_bridge Chicks who presently lead the final series 2-0. Tire snag isn't the entire Vx• bridge club, but tether a short masked chap by the name of Neil Wanamaker who guards the nets for the Eastern erew. Wanamaker has been sen- sational in both games to date, sparking his learn to e 7-5 win in Hensall, Friday, and canting. up with an even better per- formance in their 3.1. win on home ice. Tuesday. The agile little goalie turned aside a total of 4e shots in Uxbridge and appeared to take much of the spirit and drive away from the Shamrock champions as he kicked out shots that appeared to be sure goals. The Combines started out fast in the game and Brian Bonthron picked up his first tally of the series at the 9:04 mark on a play with Shaddick and Bedard, Bedard drilled a hard shot from 25 feel in front of the net that was blocked by Wena- maker, but Shaddick picked up the rebound and flipped it to Capitalizing to the full extent on the shoddy defensive play by the Hensall-Zurich Combines, the Uxbridge Chicks scored six times in the first ten minutes in Hensel), Saturday, to win the. opening game of their OHA final, 7-5,' The Combines were five min- tiles late in getting on the ice and didn't get a warmup and this appeared to be one of their downfalls as they were badly disorganized in the .fateful.first half of the stanza. They held the visitors to a single goal after that and tal- lied their own five, hut the stubborn Chicks, backed up by some stellar play by their masked goalie, Neil Wana- maker hung on to post the win, Performing before a crowd just under the 1,000 mark, the Combines gave Dennis Mock practically no protection in the first period and they left three Uxbridge players unguarded in front of the net on several occa- sions, The forwards failed to back- check to. any noticeable extent and when they did, they all jammed into one corner fight- ing for the puck. John Taylor started the bar- rage at the 2:11 mark with a 15-fonter that went between Mock's legs and then Gary Greer, Mike Gray and John Redshaw banged in one each a minute apart to tip the lead to 4.0 and Geer came back with his second at the 7:35 mark and Ron James capped the out- burst at the 9:40 mark. Kyle stars for H-Z Steve Kyle, playing his first game since he suffered a broken arm in the second game of the Strathroy series, started the Combines off at the 11:45 mark on the first of his three goals. The lanky winger came streak- ing in from his left wing posi- tion to hang in a goal-mouth pass from Ken Pa.delle. With the scoring reading 8-1, the Combines came out flying in the second period and pep- pered a total of 17 shots at Wa- namaker but Kyle was the only one to beat him, Terry Bourne grabbed the face off at the 16:42 mark and fed a pass to Kyle Who drilled a low drive into the cage from just behind the faceoff circle. The partisan Hensall r Zurich. crew appeared to have the feel- ing it would only be a short time before their a v o rites overcame their four goal defi- cit, but the Chicks upped it to five when Gary Jackson heat Meek at the 5:50 mark of the final period, The speedy centre broke loose at centre to get a clear break- away but Mock out-guessed hint and slopped his drive, HOWeVer, the Combines tailed to get, back to help out and Jackson merely Bonthron who weed it .41W the corner beside the :proeteete netenieder, The Combines continued to dominete play in Pie conteet and it appeared to be only matter of time before they would .increase their margin, but wanarnaker held them At bay.

Mock and his blooper bounced into the earner, The shot was par- tially screened by one Ux- bridge player and a third man was sitting right on the corner ready to bang it in if Mock had made the stop, A penalty to Gerard Over- holt proved costly two minutes later when Mike Gray pushed the horeesteee into a 2.1 lead, which proved enough to cop the win. Gary Geer dug the puck out of the corner and made a pass right across the crease that Gray had no difficulty banging into the corner as he was standing unmolested in front of the net, The Chicks fired the clincher at the 7:38 mark of the final period with Geer doing the honors. The play came after stopped to pick up his rebound and flip it over. Mock.

Some of the close ones in the last period were as follows: Shaddick was rob- bed at the 2:00 mark when Wanamaker came out to block a hard drive on a neat play by the high scoring winger, Ken Fadelle then bounced the puck off the post at the 5:00 mark and .Bonthron missed on a breakaway at the 7:30 mark. Gerard Overholt joined the group of frustrated marksmen when he slipped the puck past an. open corner at the mid- way mark and Earl Wagner flipped a puck over an open net at the 14:00 mark, Three minutes later, Shaddick had a. shot blocked, but pulled the puck away from the Uxbridge goalie but then flipped it wide in his attempt to lift it over Chicks win opener in first nine minutes Summer playground Game Comments — -Murray Through the co-operation of Bell, suffering from a knee in- Mr. Joe Snider, we have seem-- jury, was a decided loss to the ed the 'United Church Camp Combines' defense, but Bruce Site grounds for a summer Horton, called up to replace playground camp during the him was one of the better de- week of july 29 to August 4. fenders on the ice with his The camp, which is three miles crisp body-checks and he as- .north of Goderich, has all the sisted on two goals ...

Old Timers' Game Despite the f act that the National Hockey League play- offs are at their peak, a very important game took place in the district last Thursday, The event happened at the Lucan Arena as the Exeter Old Timers clashed with the Old Lucan Irish Six. The game didn't draw many fans possibly because of its original heading of "Aches and 'Pains". Now who would know that this was a hockey game under such a title. However, this corner as the blind official, got quite a kick out of the contest Seeing the boys from "yester-year" back in action was a thrill in itself, Besides, being able to - see them, shows improvement in sight for the referees part.
