Grand Bend hockey fan, The guest speakers at the banquet were Bill Inkol of CKCO, TV, Kitchener and Dennis Dupere of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Dupere answered numerous questions fired at him by the eager youngsters, In answer to a query if Bobby Orr was overrated, Dupere replied, "No, certainly not, but he can sure outskate you and out- smart you." The Leaf rookie who will be working with Walter Tkachuit's hockey school at St. Marys this summer said his hockey hero has always been Jean. Belliveau. He said the minimum salary in the NHL was $12,000 and in minor pro it was $7,000 per year. Of the present NHL goal ten- While the hockey playing season has been concluded locally, the fans will have one last chance to congratulate the Hawks on their fine showing in extending the Ontario final to seven games. A 'Meet the Hawks" night has been arranged for the Exeter Legion Hail, Friday night with all fans of the Hawks invited to participate. This is a chance for the fans to meet the players and management that brought us many hours of exciting hockey for the past seven months. Dancing will be to stereo music provided by Don Taylor Motors Limited and will start at nine o'clock. The evening will get underway an hour earlier with a parade from the arena to the downtown area and back to the Legion. Players will be riding in convertibles. The Exeter Legion band will be out in full strength and the South Huron District High School cheer leaders are expected to participate. Any other parade vehicles will be more than welcome, Let's make it one of the biggest nights in the history of Exeter by getting out to meet the Hawks and say thanks for a job well done. One will be missing One member of the Hawks playing roster will be missing from Friday's activities. Brian Bestard, the hustling youngster from the Grand Bend area underwent surgery in London over the weekend and is expected to be hospitalized for close to two weeks. We know that many of the local fans would like to send wishes for a quick recovery and they may be directed to Brian Bestard, Room 488, St. Joseph's Hospital, London. ders, he said Jacques Plante has to be the best. when he first came up to the Leafs, Dupere said he was amazed at the extra amount of practice time put in by Plante and Dave Keon. After, the other players quit for the day, Keon would stay out and keep rushing and firing the puck at Plante, Also in attendance at the banquet was Paul Roach who will again be conducting his sports training and hockey camp at Huron Park from July18 to August 14, Roach is also the chief college scout for the Buffalo Sabres of the NHL.

While the NHL finals are still grinding away, all hockey in this area has been completed and the minds of youngsters and some others not so young swing to summery sports. Baseball seems to be undergoing quite a revival in this area with a lot of minor clubs being entered in competition for the coming summer months. Here in Exeter for the first time in several years teams will be competing in the Western Ontario Athletic Association. Under the guidance of a newly formed baseball association being guided by Doug Gould and Bud Preszcator, pee wee, bantam and midget boys' baseball teams will be representing Exeter in the WOAA. Add to this, the same complement of pee wee, bantam and midget teams from Crediton and pee wee, bantam and juvenile from Dashwood, the area ball diamonds should be humming in the next couple of weeks. At Huron Park, officials have started Little League baseball on a very large scale. All boys from 6 to 16 are being fitted into three divisions under rules of Little Leaguers. The Huron Park system is being patterned after programs in Stoney Creek in Hamilton. Stoney Creek has been the Canadian representatives in the World Little League baseball tournaments on several occasions in the last couple of years. Huron Park teams will be eligible to compete in the Canadian playdowns with a chance to advance to the finals against youngsters from all over the world. While speaking of baseball, a very nice addition has been made to the Dashwood athletic field. Construction of a clubhouse with dressing and washrooms is now underway and will be ready for use by the three Dashwood minor ball clubs and the intermediate Tigers who will again be competing in the Huron-Perth baseball league in an attempt to win back the Ontario Baseball Association "D" title they were able to win in 1968 and 1969, An organizational meeting of the Huron-Perth league was held last week and it looks like the loop will again consist of six clubs. Teams from Thorndale, St, Marys, Mitchell, Clinton and Dashwood are assured with an entry from Stratford fairly close to being certain. The Stratford team would replace last year's Hensall club and keep the league at a half dozen teams. Bob Frier of Mitchell is the president for the coming year with Glenn Webb of Dashwood as vice-president. John Livermore will continue to handle the duties of secretary-treasurer, a position he has held for quite a few years. At last week's meeting the league directors decided to purchase a trophy that would go to the club winning the league chaMpionship. The new award will be named the John Livermore trophy in honor of the many years of faithful service put in by the secretary-treasurer, Most of the permanent residents of Grand Bend were out in full force Tuesday night to pay tribute to a very successful minor sports program. More than 300 attended the annual banquet of the Grand Bend Minor Sports Association held at the Ye Old Theatre building, During the past winter seven teams represented Grand Bend in the Western Ontario Athletic Association and the Lambton- Middlesex league. The The most successful team of the year was the Grand Bend pee wee club that won the WOAA "B" championship and went to the OMHA finals before being eliminated, This club was handled by Bill Baird, Bob Chapdelaine and Griff Thomas.
