Congratulations, Fellows Congratulations are in order to three members of the Exeter Hawks who won individual championships in the regular schedule of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" western grouping. John Hayter allowed only 82 goals in 27 games to compile a 3.04 goals per game, the best average for any goal tender in the junior league. Larry Haugh won the scoring championship and also picked up the most assists. He scored 30 goals and gained '56 assists for his 86 point total. While some people may think this next honour could be a bit dubious that is far from the truth. Joe O'Rourke gained the distinction of picking up the most penalties, a total of 182. As the captain of the Hawks and one of the club's top defenceman O'Rourke was the strongman of the defensive corps all season long. While speaking of awards, we will mention another of quite a different nature. Mike Hoy, another valued member of the Hawks hockey club recently received a bursary from the County of Huron. Mike is now attending Waterloo University. A good move While most hockey players regardless of their calibre of play wear helmets to protect themselves from the numerous injuries that can be received, very few officials wear any protection on their heads. In the last couple of weeks we have noticed several referees and linesmen in district Ontario Hockey Association games wearing helmets. This seems like a very good move, especially for linesmen who are called on to break up fights and with helmets on should be able to wade in and curtail a fight a lot quicker and more efficiently. At a recent Lucan Ilderton Jet intermediate game, both linesmen wore head protection and in a game early in the season a referee did the same. The Lucan-Ilderton Jets took a big step towards reaching the Ontario Hockey Association Intermediate "B" group final by trouncing the Elmira Polar Kings 10-3 at the Huron Park arena, Friday night. The second game of the best-of-seven semi-final set scheduled for Elmira Sunday afternoon was cancelled when the Jets were snowbound on their way to the Waterloo County town. While three players did reach the boundaries of Elmira, most' of the team were turned back by provincial police because of blowing snow making visibility nil. Several cars carrying Jet players were involved in minor Blyth man gets machine The annual Exeter Lions club curling bonspiel was held at the Exeter curling club Saturday with many Western Ontario rinks in attendance. The first draw of the day was won by a rink from Waterloo skipped by Ted Wormswortir. In second spot was Bill MacLean's rink representing the Exeter Legion and Joe Higgins and his foursome of Mitchell were third. Winner of the second draw was the Lee Webber skipped rink also from the Exeter Legion. Second game George Busche's Exeter Lions aggregation and third was a Lucan Lions rink skipped by Gary Jones. The snowmobile draw winner was W. Reid of Blyth while Gordon Beiber of Exeter won a transistor radio. Two teams are on the brink of elimination in the Ausable Valley Rec hockey league first round of playoffs. Lieury who trailed in the basement most of the regular schedule posted their second consecutive win over the Brinsley Bombers, this time by a score 3-2. The Shipka Bulldogs downed Ailsa Craig 9-2 to take a similar two game lead. Both series are best-of-five affairs. The third games will be played at the Exeter arena, Sunday night with Lieury and Brinsley,meeting in an eight o'clock contest and Ailsa Craig taking on Shipka in the nightcap at 9.30. George Fraser's goal late in the second period provided the margin in the 3-2 Lieury win over Brinsley.
