It would seem that I overestimated Lady Luck. At the time of writing of this article Exeter Hawks have what could classically be called a strangle-hold on the series, having beaten the Irish in their last three outings, to lead the series three games to one. Wednesday night in Lucan the teams had a good close game which finally ended in a six to three score, the last two goals being scored in the last two minutes of play. Then on 'Friday night in Exeter it was the Hawks all the way with Lucan, managing to score only five goals in a seven to five loss. Then on Sunday the Hawks managed to hold on to a four to three win, thus assuring themselves, I think, of winning the series, in possibly six games. The Lucan Executive and fans should take some pride in the fact that this is their first season in Junior D Competition, and they managed to win sixty percent of their regular scheduled games, with a team which averages seventeen years of age. The home attendance for the season has added up to better than nine thousand admissions. In Sunday's game young men like Gord Hardy, Ken Needham and Tom Anderson showed the fans that they could fore-check and skate, while Brad Barkley and Jeff Craig played defensive hockey and brought the fans to their feet on numerous occasions. The three stars of the game were Exeter's Rick Schell, Tom Hodgins of Lucan and Exeter's Randy Parsons. As we mentioned earlier in the season hockey is like a horse-race, and Exeter still has to win one more game. The Lucan fans can be assured that the Hawks will have to work to win as the kids from Lucan will not give up without a fight. So who knows what will happen between the time of writing this article and Thursday, the day of publication. We will either see you next week in this column, or next fall. Thank you for being with us.
