GOO[ SPORTS By Ross Haugh Minor doy is set Arrangements have been made for local observance of the Annual Minor Hockey Day. Although the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association has set aside the week of January 24 to 31 to spotlight the youngsters, officials of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association have decided on February 14. Hockey fans in town and the area will be assured of about fifteen hours of continuous action on the second Saturday in February. Admission for the whole day's activities will be one dollar for adults and fifty cents for children. Spectators will be able to come and go as they please and see as many games as their weekend schedules will permit. While the emphasis is on the Minors and the fact every boy registered in the EMHA whether he is an all-star or house league participant will perform for the benefit of his parents and relatives, the highlight of the day could be the final contest. Plans are being quickly formulated in an attempt to get most of the former Exeter Mohawks of Senior "B" and Intermediate "A" company of the late 1950's back together to take on the current junior edition of the Hawks. Two or three of the Mohawks of that era are still actively engaged in hockey competition and should form the nucleus of a club capable of giving the youngsters a run for their money. Goalie Gar Baker and forward Ken Doig are still performing regularly with the Seaforth Beavers in the WOAA while Jim Russell plays with the Bank Boys in the local Rec league and Don "Boom" Gravett, coach of the Hanover junior team this year should still be in reasonable playing condition, Most of the former Mohawks already contacted are enthusiastic about the chance to renew acquaintances. Among others that will be asked to perform in the exhibition tilt are Larry Heideman, Red Loader, Bud Dietrich, Dick McFalls, Frank Anderson, Bill Oberle, Bill Wharmsby, John Trendle, Doug Thiel, Barry Doak, Bill Franklin, Bob Coates and probably Bob White who is now coaching the junior Hawks. We have probably missed some, but they all will be contacted within the next few days by Bob Baynham and Bill Musser, who was on the executive of the Mohawks at that time. The editor, who occupies the next office was also a member of the Mohawks but when we first mentioned this to him he was not quite as enthusiastic as some of the others and suggested the midgets might provide a little more equal competition. It seems his hockey skills have been transferred to the snowmobile. • We hope this game can be arranged and know district fans will jump at the opportunity to see their old favorites back in action despite the fact they may be a little slower afoot and thinner along the hair line. The day will start off at eight o'clock in the morning with five continuous hours of house league action taking in novice, pee wee, squirts and mites. Starting at one o'clock the Exeter all-star teams will take to the ice with outside teams providing the opposition. Each all-star coach will be responsible for obtaining suitable competition. The all-star games will include novice, pee wee, bantam and midget and will continue until five o clock. It is expected the bantam house leaguers will then take over for an hour leaving the 6-7 hour for flooding the ice surface. At seven o'clock preceding the feature attraction, the local squirts, a group of boys, eight years of age and under will display their wares, probably against a team from Zurich. This Exeter team faced their first actual competition in Zurich Sunday afternoon and were edged 6-5. It was the first time the local youngsters have used the full length of the ice surface and the first time that the goalies wore pads. Attendance at Minor Hockey Day is one way we have of showing our appreciation to the local Association and the many coaches and managers that give many hours of their time and dollars out of their own pocket to help the minor hockey program. Curlers On The Move The Exeter curling club is being well represented for the second consecutive year in Ontario playdowns. Tuesday of this week, Helen Burton skipped her rink to the district 3 championship and the right to advance to the Ontario finals in Welland from February 23-26. This is Mrs. Burton's second trip along with vice-skip Ellen Knight. Other members of the rink make their first start in provincial playoffs are Marg Murley and Lee Dobbs, In men's play Jim Hewitt and his foursome will be in action on Exeter ice, Saturday in a bid to represent zone 13 in the Consols playoffs in Oshawa in February. The Hewitt rink will be meeting a Walkerton rink in a best-of-three series for the right to advance to Oshawa. Anyone wishing to see top notch curling, Saturday will be more than welcome to drop up to the Exeter curling club. Hewitt, who is recovering from a bout of pneumonia is not certain he will be able to take part himself. If he is still sidelined Gerry Finnen will handle the skipping duties. The other members of the rink are Jim Finnen, Bob Coates and Doug McArthur.
