Shown above with their trophies are, from left, Rick Parson; Kevin Windsor, Marg Cunningham and Ken Millson T-A photo Hawk winning streak ends, continue to hold top spot A few weeks ago in this column we predicted hockey fans in this district would be in for an exciting winter of action and the first few weeks of the season has proved us to be more than right. The performances of the Exeter Hawks in the OHA Junior `D' grouping has been more than satisfying. Coach Bob White, a former senior player here with the Mohawks back in the 1950's has the youngsters playing an exciting brand of hockey. With most of the boys on this year's roster eligible to play at least another two years we should be in for a lot of good puck chasing. At the Centralia arena, the same picture is being painted by the Lucan-Ilderton Jets. We were able to catch the last period of the Jets game with Durham Huskies a couple of weeks ago and it has been a long time since we have had the privilege of watching such an exciting twenty minutes of hockey. The way the two clubs were hitting and also the hard shots being fired goalward by many of the players prompted our editor to remark, "It's a good thing we retired when we did the way they are playing out there tonight". The only commodity missing so far this year by most of the clubs is a good crowd of spectators. Anyone looking for good hockey entertainment can do far worse than spend a Tuesday night at the Huron Park arena watching the Lucan-Ilderton Jets, a Wednesday night at the Lucan arena for a home game of the Irish Six juniors, Fridays at the Exeter arena for a Hawk contest, Sunday afternoon in Zurich for a Dominion junior contest or a Sunday night, also at Huron Park where the Crediton Tigers play their home games. At the moment the local Hawks head the Junior `EY league by a full four points over the second place Zurich Dominions while the Lucan Irish Six lower in the standing appear to be ready for a winning streak. While Bob White has the Exeter boys in high gear and Doug O'Brien is getting good performances from his young Dominions we are confident Jim Freeman and John Anderson will work the Lucan boys into a pleasing team before the season is over. Howe He Does It At least once a year we marvel at the spectacular performances of one of Hockey's all time greatest stars. The famous No. 9 of theDetroit Red Wings, Gordie Howe breaks a record almost every time he steps out on the ice for regular season or playoff action. In his 24th season with the Red Wings this year, Howe has a lot of targets in sight. He recently scored his 14th point giving him 1,700, his 18th goal in the 1969-70 season will raise his total to an even 750 and his 46th assist will make him the first player .to hit 1,000. In addition, at the beginning of this season, Gordie needed to play 52 games to reach No. 1,600; 55 assists for 1,100 in combined season and playoff action, 58 points for 1,900 combined and 53 penalty minutes for 1,600. Howe already scored his 800th goal in combined play with his third tally of the season, into an emptySt. Louis net on October 19. Other Detroit players,°several of them former Toronto Maple Leafs are getting well up on the record list. Alex Delvecchio is on the verge of passing both Ted Lindsay and Bernie Geoffrion to take over fifth place on the all-time goal list. The Wings' captain had 375 goals starting this campaign and needed only five to pass Lindsay (379) and 19 to overhaul Geoffrion (393). Frank Mahovlich has gone well past the nine points he needed to score 700 and 28 goals will shoot him past Lindsay, too. Bob Baun needs 53 games this year to reach 800. Exciting Action Anyone with an hour or two to spare Friday afternoon or evening could do worse than take a trip up to the South Huron District High School gymnasium to see a top flight wrestling tournament. High school grapplers from St. Jerome's of Kitchener, Waterloo Collegiate, Listowel and the local school will be competing in invitational play. Preliminaries will get underway at three o'clock in the afternoon with finals and consolations slated after the supper hour. The general public and parents of the local wrestlers in particular are urged to get out and support the boys. Where The Pads Come From Ever wonder where hockey equipment is manufactured? Well, we don't know the complete answer but can fill in the necessary information as far as goal tenders pads are concerned. A 92-year-old former harness maker in Hamilton makes the goalie pads for every goalkeeper in professional hockey. Emil (Pop) Kenesky who operates out of his ancient sporting goods store boasts that there isn't a goalie playing anywhere in professional hockey that isn't wearing pads made by him personally. Top price for his hand made, hand sewn products are $135 a pair and Pop Kenesky makes about 300 pairs each year. EXHIBIT/ON HOCKEY Sunday, Dec. 7 8:30 P.M.

The Irish moved into a 2-0 lead early in the first and were ' out in front 3-1 when the clubs headed for the dressing rooms for the first time.
