Hawks head junior league, playoffs starting this week FOR ALL poop SPORTS By Ross Playoff time Despite the fact the weatherman has just decided to give us some winter weather, the 1972-73 hockey season is quickly drawing to a close. The Exeter Hawks have just completed the regular season with an outstanding record and will be heading into the Playoffs with the first game of a best-of-seven semi- final series taking place at the Exeter arena Friday night at 8.30. With the battle for third, fourth and fifth spots in the league standings being very close, the first opponent for the Hawks was not definitely known at the time this column was being written. It is expected the Clinton Mustangs who have given the Hawks some trouble in the schedule will be their opening round opposition. In Sunday's final game of the schedule, the Hawks edged the Clinton club by a score of 4-2. While the Hawks are preparing for the playoffs, two of the town's minor clubs have already advanced to the second round of Ontario Minor Hockey Association playoffs. The pee wee and bantam clubs disposed of St. Marys in the first round and are now meeting South London in another set of series. The next opponent for the winners of these two sets will likely come from the Southern Counties area. We understand the Port Dover bantams are ready to go. The Exeter Broncos are awaiting their first round of OMHA play in the novice division, The next few weeks will provide plenty of exciting ac- tion for area hockey fans as the clubs of all age divisions head down the playoff trail. Another good performance The wrestling team at South Huron District High School won its third straight Huron-Perth Conference cham- pionship in Clinton Friday afternoon. The South Huron grapplers now head for Sarnia St. Clair this Saturday in an attempt to hold the WOSSA cham- pionship one a year ago. In addition to winning the H-P team title, seven members of the local school team won individual cham- pionships. The entire team will be involved in the WOSSA finals at Sarnia. The trophy they brought home from Clinton is a new one donated to the Huron-Perth group this year by Dashwood In- dustries. An important weekend It seems each weekend provides special entertainment in the sports field and this week is no exception with a very important event on the agenda. Time has again rolled around for the annual Crippled Children's Day at the Pineridge Chalet near Hensall. It's not really one day, but three this year. Ontario's crippled children will again benefit from the well organized ac- tivities at the Pineridge. Actually five sessions are planned this year starting Friday night with a snowmobile party, trail rides and a dance to the music of the popular Joe Overholt. Saturday afternoon will be devoted to snowmobiling and free rides for the children along with a jam session. Dancing will again be staged Saturday night. Sunday morning. the always popular pancake and sausage breakfast will be served with the best pancake cookers in the world on the griddle. The old standbys Bob Baker and Russ Tieman will again be joined by CFPL Lon- don's gourmet cook and poet Bill Brady. The Sunday afternoon program features a host of radio and TV personalities from London. Wingham and Kitchener. The most important guest of the whole weekend will be 12- year-old Duncan Minnis. London's Timmy for 1973. In addition entertainment is being provided by local talent including Bob and Danny Heywood. Joe Overholt and the Staf'fa step dancers. Throughout the five sessions, the very delicious mooseburgers, venison burgers and hot roast moose sandwiches will be on sale. See you at the Pineridge. It's a worthy cause and you will be sure to have lots of fun.

The popular hockey star and coach of Exeter clubs of a few years ago is now able to have visitors at the Petrolia hospital where he is confined, Interesting statistic Henri Richard scored a goal for the Montreal Canadiens in an NHL game Saturday afternoon. This doesn't sound like exciting news but it sort of reaches a milestone in the NHL. The goal for the Pocket Rocket brings his NHL total to 374. Add to this 626 scored by his more famous brother Maurice "The Rocket" and one finds this adds to a grand total of one thousand goals. A lot of scores for one brother combination.

In his letter he asks, "If there was one, what is his name, home town, junior hockey club and NHL team?
