The Exeter Legion Auxiliary pee wees had a long, rough trip back from Niagara-on-the-Lake in the early hours of Sunday morning but their trip was made a little easier to bear by the fact they won the hockey game and advanced to the OMHA semi-final round. The local bantam club sponsored by the Exeter Legion were forced to wait a day to play their scheduled game with Beamsville also because of the weather. The game was set for Saturday evening but only one Beamsville player was able to arrive in time. The balance of the team blew in late Sunday morning and the game was quickly arranged, The Exeter club failed to win but they completed an ex- cellent season by eliminating three teams along the playoff trail, To Corporal Ray Brooks of the Exeter OPP detachment who is the coach of the bantams and his manager Bob Osgood we would like to say a very sincere "congratulations" on an excellent season. The club did not win any championships but Brooks and Osgood who was also a corporal during his air force days moulded together a group of boys who always put out an ex- cellent team effort. In addition to their playing abilities, the bantams became known as a fine bunch of young gentleman as they travelled to other towns. Getting back to the teams still in playoff battles, the pee wees seem to be heading in the right direction for a good shot at the Ontario championship. Again in this category Bev Skinner and Lloyd Moore have been doing a good job in bringing the youngsters along. We were very impressed with the team's showing in their home ice win a week and a half ago in the first game win over Niagara-on-the-Lake. Keep going, fellows. At the same time, the Exeter Hawks are back in the thick of the fight for the OHA Junior "D" title. After losing the first two games of the group final to Mitchell, the Hawks bounced back with two impressive wins and are certainly contenders for a repeat shot at the Ontario championship. Also, we would like to send congratulations to Carl Nickles and his Lucan Legion bantams in winning a tournament at Barrie over the weekend. Following Father The number of players in the National hockey league who are following in their fathers' footsteps is becoming larger as each season begins. At the moment a total of 10 sons of former NHL'ers are playing in Clarence Campbell's professional loop but more than this -amount appear to be on the way up. Probably the most significant if not the most outstan- ding player in the second generation of National Hockey league crops is Jimmy Peters, presently with the Los Angeles Kings. In his first game in the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings Peters was at centre ice between Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay. The oddity of this is the fact his father Jim Peters Sr. played some centre ice between Howe and Lindsay with the Wings. Bryan Hextall of the old New York Rangers has two sons in the big leagues at the moment. Bryan Jr. is with the Pittsburg Penguins and Dennis is a member of the Minnesota North Stars, Craig Patrick of the California Seals is forward like his dad Lynn was but plays right wing as opposed to his father's spot on the left side. Another Lynn Patrick son is on the way up. He is Glenn with Salt Lake City. This actually makes three generations of the Patrick family in the NHL. Before someone tries to remind us that Lester Patrick was the Ranger coach, he did play in one playoff game when his regular goal tender was injured. If our memory serves us correctly Lester took over from the ailing Lorne Chabot and played shut-out hockey while he was in the nets. Of the four second generation defencemen, three have followed in the same positions played by their fathers. Pierre Bouchard of the Montreal Canadiens is the strapping son of Butch Bouchard who played robustly with the Canadiens in the 40's and 50's. Tracy Pratt, the Buffalo Sabres defenceman is one of the still relatively few United States born players in the NHL. Tracy was born in New York during the time his father Walter -Babe" Pratt was with the Rangers. The senior Pratt is now in the front office of the Vancouver Canucks. The other present NHL rearguard taking after his father is Terry Clancy of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The son of the famed King Clancy, Terry also plays some forward for the Leafs. The fourth defenceman is Ab Demarco Jr. who was traded recently by the Rangers to the St. Louis Blues. The last two of the ten second generations are Syl Apps Jr. and Gary Smith, Apps, with the Pittsburg Penguins is blossoming into a top notch centre, the same position his father played for the Toronto Maple Leafs for many years. Gary Smith, the tall Chicago Black Hawk goalie is the son of former defenceman Des Smith who played with the Montreal Maroons and Boston Bruins. Of the more than a dozen sons of former NHL stars, several are completing their education before thinking of pro hockey as a career. Included in this list are Alex Shibicky Jr., Bill Reay Jr. and Rick Francis. All three are currently attending American universities. Other prospects in the minor hockey leagues who go by well known names are Gardner, Schmidt, Howe, Lindsay, Olmstead, Wharram. Bentley, Fogolin and Mosdell. Talking about education, Syl Apps Sr, recounted recent- ly how he insisted on good grades for his son before he let him play hockey. Said the senior Apps. "He was to maintain an average of 75 per cent in his grades and then he was free to play. Ac- tually he fell to 70 per cent or so, but that was all right," The -famous father" monicker can Sometimes work in reverse. It's said one of Maurice Richard's sons got so fed up listetiing to people say, "well, he's no Rocket", that he quit hockey entirely. The Exeter Legion bantams failed to survive the fourth round of Ontario Minor Hockey association playdowns as they dropped two straight games to Beamsville. On Exeter ice Sunday Beamsville scored a close 6-5 victory after winning by a single goal at home a week earlier. Sunday's game was originally scheduled for Saturday but was postponed when the Beamsville bus was unable to get through the stormy weather. Only one Beamsville player, Kevin Smith was in Exeter in time for the Saturday game. He travelled by car with his parents.

While the game was a rough affair, the weather was rougher as the bus carrying the Exeter contingent didn't make it home until after 2 a.m. Sunday. The Exeter win was finalized with four unanswered goals in the last four minutes and a few seconds of play in the third period. The first period was scoreless with the Niagara club taking six of nine penalties called. Near the end of the period Perry Pooley and Brad Taylor of Exeter and two Niagara players were sent off for roughing on the same play.
