Mainly because of the enthusiasm of the six men the first Exeter mite hockey tournament held on the second last day of 1970 was a smashing success. Fellows like Ron Horn, Tony Mattucci, Gerry Parsons, Wilf Beattie, Jack Fuller and Willi-tar Wein who spend a lot of time every Saturday morning to help the youngsters were the main cogs behind the tournament, Other members of the local hockey organization pitched in with various chores. They were president Harvey Pfaff, Gord Kirk, Fred Wells, Alvin Willert and Gary Middleton to name a few. The tournament was well run from start to finish with the championship in the final game being decided exactly three minutes before the specified time. Running a ten-game all-day tourney right on time is a sure sign of good planning. Another important part of any hockey set-up is efficient refereeing and this was well handled by a group of local volunteers. Early in the day, Paul Robinson, Randy Tiernan, Randy Gilfillan, Pete Glover and Steve Murley handled the whistle tooting duties. Murley who officiated in six of the ten games of the day teamed up with ex-EMHA president Derry Boyle to work the last two games. In addition thanks should .go to the many other persons involved ranging from goal judges, time keepers, scorers, rink rats to some mothers of the youngsters that helped in the booth to feed the hungry hockeyists after each game. Out on the ice in tournament play, the brand of hockey dished up by the eight-year-old and younger boys was exceptional. Competition was surprisingly close with none of the clubs able to score more than six goals in any one game. The Exeter Lions club donated trophies to the two championship clubs and individual awards went to the most valuable player of the day and the best goalie. In addition Gord Kirk of the local hockey organization donated a trophy for the most sportsmanlike team of the day. This award went to the Goderich club. The young players were judged for their conduct on and off the ice. Choosing the most valuable player of the day was an easy chore with eight-year-old Glenn George of the Forest club getting the unanimous nod. He scored nine goals and led his Forest club to the grand championship. Young George came up with the winning goal in his team's 2-1 win over Goderich in the semi-final round with only two seconds left in the game. The best goalie of the tourney was Doug Hoffman of the host Exeter team. While Doug didn't have too much to handle in his team's opening 6-0 win over Hanover he was a standout in the second round and only his steady play held St. Marys to three goals in the second game. liosAdvocate, January 7, 1971 Well done, fellows FOR ALL.
