Exeter clubs win six
Hawks edge Hahns in thriller
Minor Hockey Day is very successful
Congratulations are in order for everyone
connected with Saturday's local observance of Minor
Hockey Day, Each year we hear the phrase, "bigger and
better than ever,", but this is certainly true this time.
The brand of hockey produced in every one of the
seven games played throughout the afternoon and
evening was exceptional. The windup game of the day
between the Exeter Hawks and New Hamburg Hah.ns
has to come close to being the best game played on local
ice in many years.
Both teams stuck strictly to hockey and the more
than 600 fans on hand were treated to a pleasing type of
puck chasing with excellent goal tending at both ends.
The Hawks took a 1-0 decision and we could be
quite safe in saying that this will not happen in Junior
"C" play again this year. Juniors are known for wide
open play that usually results in at least a couple of
goals each game.
We were also pleased with the second pee wee and
bantam clubs, It is hoped officials of the Exeter Minor
Hockey Association will make plans to arrange
exhibition games for these two teams.
It gives boys that can't quite make the first
all-star teams a chance to see competitive action against
outside teams and will improve their calibre of play,
Again, we would like to say thanks to officials of
the Exeter Minor Hockey Association, managers and
coaches and the mothers that helped in lunch making
after each game in contributing to the success of Minor
Hockey Day.
Lawn Bowlers Plan
Despite weather conditions that are hardly in line
with lawn bowling, the executive of the Exeter Lawn
Bowling club is making plans for a banner year in 1969.
We had the opportunity to chat a few minutes
early Monday evening with 1969 president Len
McKnight and outgoing prexy Art Cann and these two
gentlemen are showing lots of enthusiasm for this
popular summer sport.
Cann told us the past season was one of the most
successful in Exeter for many years especially due to the
excellent turnouts at the district tournaments that were
held here.
More than 50 years ago Exeter was known as one
of the best tournament towns in Western Ontario and
this reputation seems to be coming back. One of the
main reasons for this is the excellent condition of the
eleven greens at the local club.
Part of the credit for the fine condition of the
playing surface should go to greenskeeper Wilf Shap ton
who spends a lot of time on the greens.
In a bid to interest new bowlers in the game, the
local officials stress that age is no barrier. They pointed
out that one of the top bowlers in Western Ontario is
Pete Bissett of Goderich, who is well up in his eighties.
Also, Wilf Goodwin of Hensall, about the same age has
been a regular competitor at the local greens.
On the other side of the ledger, young people will
be more than welcome to give the green game a try and
a special attempt will be made to start a junior group. A
welcome is also extended to any prospective bowlers
from Huron Park at Centralia.
Anyone wishing to give it a try can contact Len
McKnight, Art Cann or secretary Mrs. Gertrude
Hamilton. The cost of this sport is certainly not
prohibitive. The annual fees are 55 for ladies and $15
for men.
Chipper on the Limp
Hensalrs contribution to professional hockey
ranks, Jack Chipchase has only seen action in two games
in more than a month due to an injury.
Jack, who performs for the Rochester Americans
of the American Hockey League has torn ligaments in
his right knee and will probably be on the sidelines for
another month. He has a cast on his right leg from his
toes to his hip.
Jack Kent Cooke, a former Torontonian and now
owner of the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey
League and the plush new L. A. Forum said recently he
is glad Mexicans don't like hockey.
Early in December a large group of Mexican
boxing fans staged a riot in Cooke's Forum causing
considerable damage. The partisan, emotional Mexican
fans, many of whom had spent their last dollars to come
across the border, and who made up about 80 per cent
of the 15,000 persons, exploded when Mexican Chuchu
Castille lost a split 15-round decision to bantam weight
boxing champion Lionel Rose of Australia.
The fans set 11 small fires in the one-year-old
516,125,000 building, burned or slashed 400 seats,
stained the plush rugs with mustard and garbage and
threw bottles and debris.
Cleared from the smoke-filled arena quickly, they
battled police and damaged many cars in the parking
lot.
The Exeter Hawks came up
with solid back-to-back
performances over the weekend
to take three of a possible four
points from the New Hamburg
Hahns in Ontario Hockey
Association Junior "C" play.
The two clubs played to a 4-4
tie in New Hamburg Friday and
the Hawks took an exciting 1-0
win over the Hahns on Exeter
ice Saturday in a fitting climax
to a very successful Minor
Hockey Day.
During the holidays, the
Hawks also took a pair of games
from the Hespeler Shamrocks by
scores of 9.5 and 6-1 and now
boast a season record of 12 wins
and tie in 17 league starts for 25
points and a solid hold on
second place.
The New Hamburg club has a
total of 28 points, but has
played one more game than the
The Crediton Tigers failed in
a bid to move into undisputed
possession of first place in
Western Ontario Athletic
Association Intermediate "C"
play during the past week.
The Tigers played a 4-4 tie
with the Wingham Goodyears at
Huron Park arena, Friday and
dropped an 8.6 decision to the
Milverton Dominions in
Milverton, Sunday.
As the result of their latest
win, Milverton holds down first
place in the league standings
with 18 points, three more than
the Tigers.
In their next outings, the
Tigers play host to the Clinton
Colts at Centralia Sunday and
travel to Listowel Tuesday to do
battle with the Vets.
Dennis Morrissey is the top
Creditors` scorer with 35 points
to his credit and Bob Pinter
follows with 25 points.
ONLY GET CLOSE
Although Jim Morrissey
scored the first goal of the game
within the first minute of play in
Milverton, Sunday, the Tigers
fell behind midway through the
first period and were never able
to make up the deficit.

counter, Ron Steckley, Gord

BEST OF YEAR
The crowd of more than 600
fans in attendance on Saturday
night were treated to the best
hockey game of this season and
probably quite a few years back,
The Hawks held a definite
edge in territorial play but were
only able to score once, a goal
by Bill Bourne at 7.34 of the
third period. Bourne, who was
chosen as one of the three stars
of the game took a pass from
Scott Burton and beat Paul
Steffler in the New Hamburg
Noble and Ed Erb scored in
rapid order to put the
Dominions in front 3.1. Before
the period ended Dennis
Morrissey counted for the Tigers
and Murray Kerr replied for
Milverton.
In the second period, Claire
Worth, Tom Collings and Lyle
Leis fired Milverton counters
while Bob Pinter and Dennis
Morrissey checked in with
Crediton scores,
The Tigers closed quickly in
the third period and came within
one goal of a tie on scores by
Bill Chipchase and Bob Doherty
only to have Murray Kerr dash
their hopes with an insurance
goal for Milverton.
On home ice, Friday, the
Tigers moved into a 4.1 lead
midway through the second
period but had to settle for a tie
as the Wingham club came on
strong in the last half.
Dennis Morrissey and Paul
Young scored for the Tigers in
the first period while Ross
Houston tallied for Wingham. In
the second, Bill Chipchase and
Bob Pinter blinked the light
behind the Wingham net before
Houston scored his second goal
of the night.
Ray Peacock and Herb Litt
scored the final Wingham goals
in the last period.
nets from about fifteen feet out.
Glenn Stire in the Exeter
cage, while not tested quite as
often as Steffler came up with a
lot of key stops to preserve his
shutout,
Stire stopped Ted Pickett and
Gary Stockie on consecutive
breakaways in the second period
and was left all alone in the last
minute of the game to handle a
couple of shots fired by Hahn
captain Dave Walkom.
Rival goalies Glenn Stire and
Paul Steffler were picked by the
three star selectors along with
Bourne.
The game was cleanly played
throughout with only nine
penalties being called, three to
the Hawks. The referees, Lou
Heinbuch and Murray Butcher
of Mitchell kept the game well
under control at all times.
COME FROM BEHIND
Two goals in the last half of
the third period enabled the
Hawks to get a 4-4 tie with the
Hahns in New Hamburg, Friday
night.
With the Hahns in front 4-2
and less than 10 minutes to go,
Grant Walker completed a
three-way passing effort with
Jim Hayter and Scott Burton to
cut the Exeter deficit to a single
goal and Tom Hodgins fired the
equalizer at 17.36. Barry
Baynham and Mike Hoy
provided.the passing help.
The Hawks jumped in front
before three minutes had elapsed
in the game on a goal by
Baynham with Hodgins and Hoy
assisting.
With less than a minute to go
in the first period the Hahns tied
the count on a successful shot
by Don Pickett. The Hahns
scored twice in the middle
session with only a single reply
from the Exeter club.
Gary Stockie and Doug
Swartzentruber notched the
home team scores and Bill
Bourne hit the target for the
Hawks with Hoy and Hodgins
again assisting.
Dave Walkom put New
Hamburg two goals up at 3.49 of
the third period and set the stage
for the closing Hawks' rally.

Saturday's annual Minor
Hockey Day sponsored by the
Exeter Minor Hockey
Association was a huge success
from start to finish despite
efforts of the weatherman to
curtail activities.
In addition to the regular
house league action in the
morning, a total of seven all-star
games were played in the
afternoon and evening
culminating with the OHA
junior "C" tilt between the
Exeter Hawks and New
Hamburg Hahns.
The junior contest, probably
the best game seen at the local
arena in many years was a fitting
climax to a successful day,
especially with most of the
Hawk performers being
graduates of the local minor
hockey set-up.
A goal from the stick of Bill
Bourne at 7.34 of the third
period gave the Hawks an
exciting 1-0 win over the high
flying Hahns.
During all-star action, a total
of seven games, Exeter clubs
came up with six wins and a tie,
which is an excellent showing.
The afternoon session opened
with the No. 2 Exeter pee wee
club coached by Larry Willert
edging Zurich 5-4.
Willert's team took a 5-1 lead
early in the second period, but
the Zurich boys battled back the
rest of the game and made things
interesting for the winners.
Steven Willert, Matthew
Muller, John Wuerth, Roger
Finkbeiner and Brad Roelofson
were the Exeter goal scorers.
Gerald Weido and Pat Bedard
each scored twice to account for
the Zurich team's scoring.
George Haggitt coached the
Zurich youngsters.
The three stars of the game as
picked by a panel of judges were
Weido and Bedard of the visitors
and Matthew Muller of the
Exeter club.
GOALIE SHARP
Jim Wildfong turned in a
sensational job of goal tending as
the Exeter Legion Auxiliary pee
wees gained a 2-2 tie with
South-West London in the
second contest of the afternoon.
Wildfong repeatedly came up
with key saves to keep his club
in contention.
Wayne Regier was the top
Exeter point producer, coining
up with the maximum number
of points. He scored the first
goal of the game on a pass from
Kevin Bestard and assisted Brian
Taylor on the tying goal late in
the game.
Mark Smith and Bob Boyd
were the London goal getters. In
the three star department,
Wildfong, Regier and Boyd were
the selections.
Bev Skinner and Lloyd Moore
handled the managerial and
coaching duties of the pee wee
club which is sponsored by the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the R. E.
Pooley Legion branch.
TIEMAN TAMES ZURICH
Randy "Putts" Tiernan was
the big gun in the Exeter No. 2
bantain club's 6-2 win over
Zurich. Tieman popped the puck
into the Zurich net three times
in a span of less than three
minutes early in the third period
to erase a one goal Exeter
deficit.
John Muller, Brian Penhale
and Doug Miners were the other
marksmen for the bantams,
coached by Bruce Fulcher,
Gerald Weido, Brian Clarke
and Bob DeGroot scored in
single fashion for the Zurich
youngsters.
Randy Tiernan and Robert
Ryckinart of the locals and Barry
Grenier of Zurich were the three
stars of the game.
BANTAMS START QUICKLY
The Legion bantams got off
to quick three goal lead in their
game against Austin Painters of
Detroit and were able to
maintain the margin to take a
6-2 decision.
Peter Kleinstiver scored at the
23 second mark of the opening
period to put the locals in front
to stay. Before the initial stanza
closed, Peter Glover scored twice
to up the score to 3-0.
Due to the late arrival of a
couple of players, the Detroit
team was forced to start with
only eight boys in the lineup.
With more Detroit reserves
available for the last two
periods, the Exeter boys were
able to continue the early pace,
Glover picked up his third goal
of the afternoon and Peter Gill
checked in with a pair of scores
to complete the Exeter tallying.
Kirk Stoneburner and Gord
Sawchuck were the Detroit
marksmen.
The three stars were Pete
Glover and Scott Litt of Exeter
and Kirk Stoneburner of the
visitors.
The same two clubs met again
Sunday morning in an exhibition
game and Exeter was again
victorious by a score of 7-4.
MIDGETS GET SHUTOUT
The Exeter Kinsmen midgets
scored two goals close together
early in the second period and
added another near the end of
the game to compile a 3-0
shutout decision over
Stoneybrook in the final game
of the afternoon.
Pete Glover up from the
bantam club and Larry Haugh
scored for the locals in the
second period and Larry Bourne
added the final counter.
Dennis Ferguson was in the
Exeter nets to record a well
deserved shut-out for the club
that is managed by Lorne Haugh
and coached by Bill Chipchase.
The three star selectors
picked lbn Janke and Larry
Baugh of the Exeter club and
goalie Doug Reilly of
Stoney brook,
BRONCOS TRIUMPH
The Exeter Broncos
sponsored by the Midwestern
Rodeo Association scored at
least once in every period to
record a 5-2 win over Grand
Bend in a novice game preceding
the junior Hawks contest in the
evening.
John Van Gerwin and
Howard Schenk each scored
twice to lead the Bronco scoring
attack and Tom Hayter added a
single score. Hayter was tops in
the point department, picking
up a couple of assists and joined
Schenk on the three-star
selection with Kevin Datars of
Grand Bend,
Steve Jennison and C. Haist
were the goal scorers for Grand
Bend.
