A former hawk This week we received a press release from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York regarding the performance this year of a former member of the Exeter Hawks junior club. We will quote the release in full. "St. Lawrence Univer- sity freshman Joe O'Rourke, son of Mrs. Clare O'Rourke of Dashwood, Ontario was a defenceman on the school's freshman hockey team. "O'Rouke, a good skater with a tough shot, was one of the "Little Larries" assistant captains. In 15 games, he scored five points on two goals and three assists. "The St. Lawrence freshmen team, coached by Bill Wilkenson, had a 10-4-1 record for the season. Among the 10 victories were two impressive wins over Canton A.T.C., the National Community College champions. A successful operation The first year of operation of the new Ilderton arena seems to have been a very successful one if the amount of hockey teams in Ontario finals is any indication. Two Ilderton minor clubs are participating in provincial finals and the Lucan-Ilderton Jets are waiting for either the Stratford Perths or the Durham Huskies to do battle for the all-Ontario Senior "B" championship. At the time of writing this column Stratford and Durham are all tied up at two games apiece in the league semi-final round. The Ilderton pee wees are tied with Marmora at a game apiece for the Ontario pee wee "D" championship. The third and fourth games go in Marmora this coming weekend with the fifth contest back in Ilderton Saturday, April 14 at 1 p.m. The bantams from Ilderton start this weekend in Colborne in an attempt to bring home the bantam "D" title... The two teams swing back to the Ilderton arena for games the following Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of trades Swapping of players in the National Hockey league this year has kept most fans a little confused as to who was play- ing for which club. During the time from the opening of the season to the cut-off date of March 5, no less than 34 NHL performers changed sweaters. The trades were not confined to any age group or any pattern for reasoning. The trades ranged from 31 year-old Pierre Plante going from Philadelphia to St. Louis and the veteran goalie Jacques Plante moving from Toronto to Boston. Theitrading,of Mike Murphy of the St. Louis Blues in ex- change for Ab Demarco of the Rangers marked the 13th time players have changed uniforms between the two clubs, The two clubs have dealt a total of 29 players to one another and four of them, Murphy. Rod Seiling, Andre Du- pont and Peter McDuff e have been involved in Blues- Ranger deals twice. In explaining this, Ranger boss Emile Francis says, "the fact that we've continued to make so many trades with each other is a prettygood indication that each side feels it can get a fair deal with the other."
