The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1970-01-15, Page 6Pa,11lI. 6 Times-Advocots, January 1970 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh. Minor week. coming The annual observance of Minor Hockey Week across Canada begins on Saturday, January 24, according to information reaching, our desk last week from the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. While no arrangements have been made as yet by the Exeter Minor Hockey Association, we would hope this group would quickly make plans for a full day of hockey when every player registered with the EMHA has a chance to show his talents for the benefit of his parents, other relatives and friends, This Saturday, January 17, Minor Hockey Day will be observed at the Zurich arena and the following Saturday will be a gala day at the St. Marys arena, We received a bulletin on the St. Marys festivities from Len Love, recreation director and Harvey Pfaff, president of the St. Marys Minor Hockey Association, who is a former resident of the Dashwood and Exeter areas. The closing feature attraction of the St. Marys day on January 24 will be an exhibition game between the Lucan-Ilderton Jets and an all-star team from the St. Marys town league and the North Oxford Rural league. No less than eight members of the current Jet club performed formerly with the St, Marys 1.4ncoins in Junior "B" company. Still At It Next Tuesday's National hockey league all-star game to be played in St. Louis will mark the 21st appearance in the annual classic for big No. 9 of the Detroit Red Wings. Gordie Howe, at the age of 41 was given 53 points in the balloting for the right wing spot by sports writers in the eastern division. Since Howe came into the NHL he has missed only the 1947 and 1953 all-star games and this will mark his 13th consecutive appearance. Maurice (Rocket) Richard, also appeared in the same number of games, consecutively. Howe also holds most of the all-star scoring records. In addition to the most games played, he has the most goals, nine, the most assists, eight, leads in points with 17, has served 25 minutes in penalties and shares the record of four points in one game with former team-mate Ted Lindsay. The other significant fact of the all-star selections was the unanimous choice of Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins to a defence position, Orr received the maximum number of votes possible, 90. Orr, who is well on the way to becoming the league's leading scorer this year and certainly will shatter all scoring marks for a defenceman has been the Bruin leader since he joined the Bruins three years ago. Orr's future in the NHL is probably best exemplified by a statement by veteran defenceman Harry Howell. When Howell, then with the Rangers won the James Norris Memorial Trophy in 1966-67 as the league's best defenceman, he said, "I've been around for fifteen years and thank God I have finally won it. .I have, a feeling that fox the next twenty years it will be known as the Bobby Orr trophy. Good Season District hockey fans have been treated to a lot of interesting action so far this winter and the way the teams are performing, the season is far from over. At least three or four clubs have shown they have the ability to move down the playoff trail toward league and possibly provincial championships. Right in Exeter, two teams are right in contention. The junior Hawks under the capable coaching of Bob White have performed well all season and have a good shot at the Ontario "D" title. When we make a statement like that we expect to get a lot of opposition from our friends in Zurich and Lucan. The junior teams in these two communities are right in the thick of things and the local group playoffs should be more than interesting. The other Exeter team with a good chance of going places is the Kinsmen sponsored midget team, coached by former Hawk, Bill Chipchase. The hustling club, made up of quite a few members of 'last year's good bantam club are still unbeaten in Shamrock league play and will also give a good account of themselves in the playoffs. The Lucan-Ilderton Jets, currently leading the OHA Intermediate "B" grouping certainly have the talent this year to go all the way to ,an Ontario championship. Their biggest opposition will again likely come from their old-time nemesis from Durham. The Huskies and Jets have gone into overtime in both games played at Huron Park this year with each team winning once. Jack Nairn has taken over the coaching duties and one can be assured the popular mink rancher from the St. Marys district will get the best from his fellow players, Nairn takes over the coaching duties from Steve Storey while Don Urbshott continues as manager of the club. We stated incorrectly last week that Storey and Urbshott had shared the coaching. The Crediton Tigers, WOAA champs for the past two seasons are having a bit of trouble in regular intermediate play. This club also has the potential to rebound and make itself heard from in the playoffs. The Seaforth Beavers in their first start in the WOAA look like the class of the league at the moment. First place dart lead back to single point EXETER RINK HEADING TOWARD CONSOLS —An Exeter rink skipped by Jim Hewitt moved one step closer to the British Consols curling playoff in Oshawa in February by winning the Zone 13A championship at Huron Park, Saturday. The local curlers now move against a Walkerton foursome for the right to move on to the provincial final. Skip Hewitt, who was hospitalized with pneumonia early this week is shown above being congratulated by Jack Underwood of the Huron Park club. Other members of the rink are, from the left, Doug McArthur, Bob Coates and Gerry Finnen. T-A photo.
