Two Exeter clubs are still in the running for provincial honors and many others are still competing for honors on lower levels which are just as important to the competitors. The junior Hawks are starting their OHA group finals with the Belmont Sunsets in an attempt to go as far as they did last year in reaching the Ontario finals against the Haliburton Huskies. The Exeter Broncos, last year's division novice champions are still in the running after having a close call against Goderich in a first playoff round. All Exeter clubs are still in the running for championships in the Shamrock minor hockey league. The newly formed South Huron hockey league is nearing the final round. The Hensall Cascadians and Huron Park are now battling for the right to meet the Zurich Flyers for the championship. -Exciting hockey action is assured from the two area Rec hockey leagues. Playoffs are underway in the Exeter and district Rec league and in the Ausable Valley Rec loop. The four Exeter Rec teams will be in action in playoff competition for the next three Thursday nights at least and the teams of the Ausable league see action at the Exeter arena every Sunday night. If the first two games of the Ausable semi-final round are indications of what is to follow, plenty of spirited action is assured. Sunday night, Lieury and Brinsley knocked off Shipka and Ailsa Craig in opening playoff action to speed up the excitement. Both games went into overtime before a winner was declared. Numerous injuries While all supporters of the Exeter Hawks are looking for good performances in the playoffs now underway, the team is seriously hampered by injuries. Defenceman Shane McKinnon who suffered a broken ankle several months ago is not expected back for another two weeks or so. Forward Peter Kleinstiver out with a broken jaw since the third game of the semi-final series with Clinton will not be back for another few games. The injury has not been healing properly. To add to the growing list of injuries is speedy forward Brian Campbell. The Hensall area youngster was injured at work last week and in an emergency operation had his spleen removed. He will be lost for the balance of the season. With the enlarged sick list, several midgets will probably see considerable action. Murray Parsons was in the line-up in two of the Clinton games and certainly didn't look out of place. Best of luck, Hawks, as you move along the playoff trail. Tournament time Many Exeter and district minor hockey teams will be busy during the upcoming spring school break participating in the numerous tournaments which are available. We received a schedule of the Young Canada pee wee tourney at Goderich this week, listing the 84 games. The big event opens on Friday night, March 17 and Huron Park will meet Seaforth in a "C" contest. Saturday will be a busy day for area clubs. Grand Bend meets Brussels at 8:10 a.m., Zurich faces Tiverton at 9:20 and Lucan meets Wingham at 3:10 in the afternoon.

A real challenge The way Frank Mahovlich sees it, it's the second 1,000 games of a player's career that really poses a challenge. So, the "Big M" playing in his 1,001 st regular season game on January 27 met the challenge with a hat trick against the Minnesota North Stars. It marked the 13th time in his NHL career that Mahovlich had registered a three goal game and the second this year. He is now in his 15th season in the NHL, Mahovlich who was traded to the Canadiens in early 1971 started the present campaign with a total of . 421 career goals. This ranks him fifth among the all-time goal scorers in NHL history. Only Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Maurice Richard and Jean Beliveau are ahead of him. Theo nly other active player now is Hull, The "Big M" is still more than 50 goals away from equalling the mark of Beliveau, to whom he is the closest in goals scored, BeliVeau retired at the end of last season with 507 goals in 18 NHL seasons, Mahovlich with his 32nd goal of the year Stinday has reached the 453 career mark. The Exeter Hawks took the important first game in the best-of-seven series for the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" western grouping championship. The Hawks spotted the Belmont Sunsets a goal in the first few seconds of the game at the Exeter arena Tuesday night and roared back to chalk up a 6 - 3 victory. The second game will be played in Belmont Friday night at 8:30 p.m. with the third slated for the Exeter arena Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. The scene switches back to the Belmont arena for the fourth contest, Tuesday night at 8.30. If further games are necessary they will be in Exeter, Friday March 10, Belmont, Sunday March 12 and Exeter March 14.
