parks Chicks to OHA junior
Bill Shaddiek was the marks-
man on the play, but Larry
Bedard, playing with a sore
arm picked up in the last tilt,
was the playmaker. The young
defenseman carried the puck
ou. of his own end and streak-
ed clown the boards and pulled
both defenders over to his side
and then flipped a pass to
Shaddick cutting through cen-
tre and the accurate marks-
man made no mistakes,
The Combines were playing
a man short when Earl Wag-
ner gave them a 2-0 lead at
the 8:13 mark on a neat play.
Ile knocked down a pass at
centre and pushed the puck
past the lone defender just out-
side the blueline and cut the
other way to pick up the disc
and go in all alone on Bal-
linger, whom he pulled out on
a nice deke and then slid the
puck into the corner as he
sailed across the corner.
Different story
Although they had a man ad-
vantage for almost the first
five minutes of the second with
Gary Ashton. sitting out a
major, the Combines couldn't
get organized and the Chicks
weathered the storm,
They then took control and,
aided by some poor defensive
work by the Combines, broke
in time and time again on
Mock, and he was called on
to make brilliant saves on
three tries by Gary Jackson
and one each by Mike Gray
and Gary Geer,
However, the Chicks nev'er
gave up and finally hit pay
dirt at the 15:02 mark with
John Taylor doing the honors
after he took a perfect pass
in front from Barry McLean
who carried the puck in. from
centre and 'pulled two defend-
ers over before getting rid of
it.
The tally sparked the Chicks
and they came roaring back
in less than a minute to whit-
tle the lead to 3-2. The goal
was a direct result of poor
defensive play by the Com-
bines as Ron Stewart was left
alone 10 feet in, front of Mock
and he made no mistakes
when. McLean flipped the puck
out from the corner.
The Chicks really turned on
the power with Terry Bourne
sitting out a minor and Robert
Bradbury knotted the count at
the 18:13 mark when his shot
front just inside the left point
picked an open corner.
However, the home town fans
had hardly sat down from
cheering when. Gerard Overholt
pushed the Combines into a
4-3 lead only nine seconds
later, Bill Shaddick was the
playmaker as he blocked a.
pass at .the point. and after
deking one defender, pulled.

Game Comments: The big
difference between the Com-
bines and the team that won
the previous two games was
their lack of a hitting attack,
They never threw one body-
check in the whole game, out-
side of some checks along the
boards and in the corners .
Besides Mock, Larry Bedard
was the hardest working mem-
ber of the area crew,
Hockey
Scoreboard
He was particularly brilliant
in the final 20 minutes when
he blocked all but one of the
16 shots they fired his way.
On occasions the Combines .ap-
peered, to have him beat, but
the puck lust wouldn't bounce
the right way for them.
Star missing
The Combines were at a de-
cided disadvantage in the tilt
as Ken Fadelle, their flashy
scoring star from Strathroy,
was writing exams at the Un-
iversity of Western Ontario and
was unable to make the trip,
This forced Bill McCrae to
Juggle his potent second line
around considerably and it
waso, until the second period
that he found the two combina-
tions that gave him his best
attack.
However, as it turned out, it
was ton late as the Combines
failed to make any major dent
in the 3-0 lead the Chicks had.
in the first period.
The new champs started off
quickly in the contest as they
took control of the game in
the first few minutes and Keith
James look only one minute
and 40 seconds to send them
into a leach,
James and two of his mates
broke in from centre with only
Wayne Willert back, but Mock
managed to make the save on
the short drive directly in front
of him,
The Combines knotted the
series at three games each
when they outlasted the Chicks
in an 11.0 scoring duel before
a short-sleeve crowd of over
1,000 in ilensall, ErislaY.
Playing on water covered
ice, the teams unleashed theft
most potent attacks of the
series as both goalies had a
continual night-mare, hut the
score remained close through-
out and provided plenty of
llrrills for the fans.
Terry :Bourne was the scor-
ing star for the Combines as
he beat sub-goalie Fred Bal-
linger four times in the con-
test and picked up a pair of
assists to give the Strathroy
ace a six-point spree,
Bill Shaddiek followed close-
ly behind with his hat-trick,
whole Ken Fadelle blinked .the
light twice. Single tallies were
picked up by Wayne Willett
and Gerard Overholt,

Bourne's four-goal effort for
the Chicks, while John Taylor
dented the twine .three times.
The other tallies came off the
sticks of Ron Stewart and
John Redshaw.

the first period.
The Chicks opened the spree
at the 1:56 mark but Willert
evened things up at the 4:26
mark and Bourne scored his
first two minutes later to
give the homesters a 2.1 mar-
gin.
John Taylor knotted things at
two each shortly before the
mid-way mark and they traded
goals by Fadelle and. Taylor
six minutes later to leave
things at a 3-3 draw.
However, Shaddick gave the
Combines a 4-3 margin at the
17:30 mark on a play with
Earl Wagner and Bourne upped
the lead to two goals when he
drifted in from centre and cut
behind teammate Brian Vickery
to lift a screened back-hander
into the cage with only 14
seconds remaining in the per-
iod.

substantial at the time, but the

minding by both goalies, left
the ice at the end of the
second with the score still
reading 8.7 for the Combines.
The homesters jumped into a
two-goal lead at the 2:08 mark
of the final when Bourne can-

A GOOD EFFORT, .F5t,t,QWS1
Although they failed in their bid to bring
any hockey titles home from the three Faster
tournaments, Exeter's minor pueksters proved they
can Stay with the best of them on and off the ice.
TO' the second year in a row, the teams
made Auite a name for themselves as they coin-
poled r1 Godemh, Brampton and Georgetown, and
thankT to liner fine showing, the name of Exeter
.appeered in the headlines in the daily newepapqrs

we (Ilan 't think we would even bother rolling out
of the pit at 3:00 a.m. on Friday morning to go
down and watch them.
However, we managed to fall out of bed and
Alonrenth seven or eight others from the area
'journeeed down to watch the expected slaughter.
But it was anything but that and with a few breaks
at all, the locals would have been the "D" champs.
They certainly outplayed their foes but just could
not put the puck in the net after Coppercliff scored
on a bit of a fluke in the early minutes.
The local Rucksters should certainly be
commended for their performance not only in the
game but throughout the tournament as they came
out on -top in three two-game series before enter-
ing the final round.
''.'eTheir performance off the ice also should be
notedefor we never heard one bad word regard-
ing the locals who stayed in Georgetown for five
days and proved themselves to be real gentlemen.
Following their loss on Friday morning they
were a busy bunch as they hiked downtown to
purchase small gifts as tokens of their appreciation
for their hosts.
As far as we know, the team's managers
and some of the parents looked after the trans-
portation of the kids and the young pucksters
bought their own sticks, so there really was no
expense for any group in town but we feel the
town received a great deal of publicity from the
kids and we trust they will receive. the praise they
deserve.
Graham Mason. who made the early Friday
trip informed us that he learned that one of the
mining companies in Coppercliff figured the tour-
nament, was worth while enough to dish out $1,500
to pack their crew on a train and look after all
their expenses along the way to Georgetown, We
doubt if the town or the company would get that
much publicity back, but apparently they feel
their kids deserved it.
Which just goes to show that Exeter got
off darn cheap.
THAT OLD JINX _AGAIN
The other team to draw considerable ink
was the pee wees who ended up in the "C" semi-
finals in Goderich before they lost out to Garson,
another Sudbury suburb, by a score of 7-2,
There was no doubt that the better team
von the game, but our kids appeared to be a bit
duller after their layoff from Monday, while the
northern crew had just played the day before.
Our kids. didn't play nearly as well as they
did in earlier matches in the tournament, but after
a slow start they gave it everything they had as
they bowed out after a real fine showing.
This was the fourth time a local pee wee
team has failed to win after reaching the semi-
finals, but we think they will be heard from even
louder next year, as only four of the lads will have
to graduate from the ranks. In case you're not
reading between the lines, we'll point out that
means only four had played in Goderich before
and we think that deserves special note, as we're
sure that only two or three of Garson's team would
be able to play again.
The final team to play was the squirts, who
were knocked out in the second round at tramp-
ton as they failed to regain the "D" championship
they won last year.
However, only four of the boys were back
for their second outing and like the other two
Exeter clubs, they were battling teams that stood
head and shoulders over them.
So, we would like to send our congratula-
tions along to all the players, the coaches, man-
agers and the parents who drove them to these
three events and after watching all three compete,
we.ean truly say that they proved to he real good-
will ambassadors for the town and surrounding
community,
BATT'N AROUND—We have often wonder-
ed why more fellows from the area didn't make
the ,grade to the big time in hockey. and after
watching some of the action in Georgetown we
can see why, After the local kids were knocked out,
we stayed and watched Scarborough and the Toron-
to Marlies clash in the "A" semi-final and were
astounded by their play. These two clubs each had
three well-balanced lines and they skated for all
they were worth every time on the ice. But the
thing that really amazed us was the size of these
fellows. We happened to he standing at the runway
to the ice when they came out and many of these
14-year-olds were close to six feet tall and most
of them would weight between 145 and 175 and
some would even go more than that. While we
have one or two players who could possibly make
their teams, we think we would be safe in saying
that either of these Toronto squads would give
any juvenile team in the area a real hard battle
Hockey is finally all wrapped up and a look at
the calendar shows that it is -shout time, because
ball should be the main topic at present. In fact,
