picking up a hat trick for his
night's work.
The balance of Legion goals
were chalked up by Perry
Stover, Randy Preszcator and
Peter Gill. Bill Inch played a
strong game in the Exeter nets,
coming up with many
sensational stops to keep the
Delhi boys from furthering their
scoring records.
Midgets near
group title
The Exeter Kinsmen midgets
are only one game away from
the Shamrock Minor Hockey
Association Midget
championship. The locals
managed by Lorne Haugh and
coached by Bill Chipchase
downed Lucan 7.1, Friday night
for their second consecutive
playoff win.
The Kin sponsored club has
two games remaining against
Lambeth and one win would
ensure victory in the round
robin series.
Bob Rowe and Larry Haugh
each scored two goals to lead the
Exeter scoring attack in the win
over Lucan. The balance of goals
for the winners were fired in
single style by Brian Bestard,
Ron Lindenfield and Bill
Jennison.
During the past week hockey fans in the district
got more than their money's worth during playoff
action in three different groupings,
The full value for your money hockey started at
Centralia's Huron Park arena, Tuesday night when the
Crediton Tigers edged the Milverton Four Wheel Drives
5-4 in overtime to advance to the final round against the
Kincardine Bulldogs.
Friday night at the Exeter arena it was the same
story with the Exeter Hawks coming up with an
overtime goal to shade the New Hamburg Hahns 5-4 and
tie the OHA junior "C" final at a game apiece.
At Centralia, Sunday afternoon, the
Lucan-Ilderton Jets needed an extra 10-minute overtime
period to get past the tough Durham Huskies and "you
guessed it" the score was 5-4.
It's a very unusual situation when consecutive
home games of three different district playoff
competitors end with the same score and in overtime.
A pleasing aspect of the playoffs for all three area
clubs has been the fan support they have been getting.
At Centralia, Tuesday a crowd of 853 attended the
Milverton-Crediton contest, a throng of 959 were on
hand for the Hahn-Hawk tilt Friday and close to 800
were on hand to watch the Jets edge Durham at
Centralia, Sunday.
Hockey Camp Coming
Last week's announcement that a hockey training
school would be held at Centralia's Industrial Park this
summer was a welcome one to boys in the area that are
aspiring to increase their hockey training and
knowledge.
Although the four-week venture at Centralia is
basically designed to teaching hockey fundamentals,
qualified soccer, baseball and football instructors will be
in attendance.
The organizer of the local hockey training school
is Paul Roach who is player development officer for the
Canadian Hockey Foundation.
We had a short chat with Roach last week as he
was making the official announcement and he said his
group of instructors all of university nature would be
attempting to teach national hockey philosophy to the
boys.
Roach went on to say that it has been the desire
of all youngsters to make the grade in the National
Hockey League and his school will be trying to develop
players for future Canadian national hockey clubs.
Although not officially connected with Hockey
Canada Incorporated, the new body formed to organize
national hockey teams in the future, Roach said his
school would work toward development of players of
national calibre and profits derived from the Centralia
venture would be channelled to assist in providing
national team hockey scholarships.
Called national hockey-sport training camp, the
school will be open to boys between the ages of 10 and
16 and will be held from June 30 to August 22.
The fee for each boy attending will be $75 per
week for full instruction along with full accommodation
at Centralia's College of Agricultural Technology. For
boys wishing to commute the weekly fee will be $40
including meals.
We have checked close to a dozen advertisements
of similar hockey schools and camps in the Hockey
New and the fees to be charged at Centralia are quite
reasonable in comparison.
In order to familiarize area boys and their parents
with the new sports training centre and hockey school,
an Open House is being held on April 20 from 9 a.m. to
4:30 p.m.
The list of coaches that are available at the
Centralia school is very formidable and will also include
members of Canada's National team and the eastern
coach Jack "Red" Bownass.
Among the physical fitness experts are Lloyd
Percival, Prof. Bill L'Heureux of Western University and
Major Danny McLeod of Kingston's Royal Military
College.
Other hockey coaches will be Ron Watson of the
Western Mustangs, Dave Copp, University of Toronto
and Jack Costello of Windsor. To take care of baseball
tutoring will be Eddie Gillis, a Philadelphia Phillie scout
and soccer coaching will be handled by Evans Tannis of
St. Michael's College in Toronto.
In talking to John Link, manager of the Huron
Park arena over the weekend, we find out that
additional equipment is being installed in the Randall
arena to ensure good ice for the summer months. The
ice units are being increased from 75 to 110
horsepower.

Graham and Graham came up
with two straight wins in the
round robin playoffs to take the
Exeter and district Rec hockey
grand championship after
finishing in a tie with the Bank
Boys for first place in regular
schedule play.
The G & G sextet were given
first place by the flip of a coin
and received a bye in the final
round. They started their
playoff action with an easy 18-4
romp over the Bank Boys in
Thursday's opening game of the
finals and came back Sunday
night with a 9-3 win over the
Old Timers to cinch the title.
The Old Timers and Bank
Boys will meet in a sudden-death
game tonight at eight o'clock to
decide the runner-up position. In
earlier preliminary play, the
Bank Boys edged Huron Park
and the Old Timers eliminated
the Juveniles.
ROUGH BATTLE
In Sunday's clincher to give
Graham and Graham the league
crown, the going was heavy and
a couple of fights broke out
before order could be restored.
Bob MacDonald scored three
times to lead the Graham and
Graham assault on the Old
Timers' net. Close behind with
two goals each were Otto Smale
and Jack Glover while Craig
Davidson and Don Crawford
each checked in with single
scores.
Scoring in single fashion for
the Old Timers were Larry
Willert, Vic Fulcher and Don
Campbell.
Dart crown

In the first four games of the
Ontario Hockey Association
Junior "C" western grouping
final against the New Hamburg
Hahns, the Exeter Hawks have
proved they like the confines of
their home arena.
The Hawks have rallied in
each of their two home games to
tie the series, but must win at
least one game on foreign ice to
advance farther down the
playoff trail.
Coached by Terry Bourne,
the Hawks have given their loyal
fans plenty to cheer about at
home but seem to fold in the
latter stages of all games played
in New Hamburg.
In the opening game of the
best-of-seven group final played
in New Hamburg, Wednesday
the Hahns chalked up a 8-3 win.
It was the Hawks turn at the
Exeter arena, Friday night as
they edged the visitors 5-4 in
overtime.
Back in New Hamburg,
Saturday it was a repeat of the
opening game with the Hahns
wrapping up a decisive 7-1 win
on the strength of a third period
rally.
On Exeter ice, Tuesday, the
Hawks came on stronger as the
game progressed and were
victorious 7-5.
The fifth game was played in
New Hamburg last night,
Wednesday with the sixth slated
for the Exeter arena, Friday
night at 8:30. If a seventh and
deciding game is necessary it will
go at the New Hamburg arena
Saturday night at 8:30.
The winner of the
Hahns-Hawks battle will take on
the Woodstock Navy Vets in the
next OHA playoff round.
HOLDING THEIR OWN
Despite suffering two fairly
lopsided losses in New Hamburg
as far as the scoreboard is
concerned, the Hawks held their
own for the first two periods in
each case and were only down
two goals heading for the last 20
minutes of play.
On home ice, the Hawks have
held a good edge in territorial
play and have missed a lot of
goals due to some erratic
shooting. In he last ten minutes
of play in Tuesday's game, the
locals with a two goal edge kept
up a steady pattern of fore
checking that kept the Hahns
pretty well bottled up and were
continually dumping the puck
out centre to relieve the
pressure.
In Friday's win, the Hawks
missed a lot of scoring
opportunities, especially in the
second and third periods when
they carried the play to the
visitors.
Goalies Glenn Stire and Jim
Glavin have each been
instrumental in keeping the
Hawks in the series to date. Stire
was solid in the nets, Tuesday
and Glavin came up with many
good stops in Friday's exciting
contest, especially in the last
eight seconds of play when he
blocked a shot from Gary
Stockie on a breakaway and
smothered the rebound.
The Hahns have been first to
hit the scoreboard in three of
the four games played, twice
notching the first goal the first
minute of play.
In the first game on New
Hamburg ice, Wednesday, the
Hahns scored from the opening
face-off and Tuesday night, they

For the second time in a
couple of weeks, the Exeter
Legion Bantams have battled
back from the brink of
elimination in Ontario Minor
Hockey Association Bantam "B"
playoff action and have a good
shot at the provincial
championship.
Dropping the first game of
the OMHA fourth round play to
Delhi 8.3 in the tobacco town
more than a week ago, the local
youngsters came on with a
strong performance Saturday
night on home ice to trounce the
same Delhi club 10.4 and force a
third and deciding game.
The crucial game was played
at the Exeter arena last night,
Wednesday and the winner
advances to the Ontario final
against either Huntsville or
Penetang.
In an earlier set against
Blenheim, the locals were forced
to come up with two straight
wins to stay in contention.
STRONG 'SKATING HELPS
On home ice, Saturday night,
the Legion sponsored boys
handled by Gary Middleton and
Bill Gilfillan outskated their
Delhi opposition from the
opening whistle to chalk up the
victory.
Pete Glover found the scoring
range on no less than four
occasions to lead the Exeter
