Haugh Playoff time The 1974-75 hockey season is quickly coming to a close for a lot of area hockey teams as most are now engaged in playoffs. The Exeter Hawks bowed out of junior competition Fri- day night but manager Fred Mommersteeg and coach Terry Bourne are to be commended on a fine season bring- ing along a good group of youngsters. With a little bit of luck the Hawks could have been on even terms with Belmont at two games apiece after Friday's game instead of losing four straight, Two of the four games were lost by only one goal and either one could have been taken by the Hawks with a few better bounces. In OMHA playoff action, the Exeter bantams and pee wees are still in the running and several Huron Park teams remain in contention. The Exeter juveniles lest a very close series to St. Marys in overtime. We understand the juveniles and Hawks will engage in a best-of-five series in the near future. The first game is scheduled for the Exeter arena Sun- day night at 8:30 p.m. The second game will probably be played the following Sunday. This promises to be an interesting series. Two members of the juvenile club were up with the Hawks for the final game against Belmont and performed very well. The juvenile-junior games should draw good crowds as both teams are composed of local players and the rivalry should become quite intense. The South Huron intermediate league playoffs started Sunday and area fans are assured of plenty of interesting and exciting action. The Exeter Mohawks are one game down to the Zurich Flyers in a best-of-seven series and will be trying to get even when the two clubs meet again Friday night at 8.30 at the Exeter arena. In the other series, the Shipka Colonials, defending league champions go against Centralia College. The good old days Thanks to Wally Burton of town we have a copy of the February 12 issue of the Renfrew Mercury. This particular issue describes the contribution of Renfrew hockey history. Although most of the information is based on Renfrew hockey activities we feel some is intefesting to pass on to sports fans anywhere. It was sort of a coincidence getting a call from Wally Monday after saying he had an interesting hockey article from Renfrew for us. We had just returned Sunday from a three day visit in Killaloe which is only about 40 miles from Renfrew. The Renfrew team of the 1909-10 series was filled with stars including six that eventually made Canada's Hockey Hall of Fame. These itkeiuded Lester and Frank Patrick, Cyclone Taylor Newsy ,Lalonde and Bert Lindsay, father of former Detroit Red Wing star Ted Lindsay. The Renfrew team was first called the Creamery Kings because of one of the largest creameries in North America at that time. The name was later changed to the Millionaires for obvious reasons. Some of the battles for players back in the early 1900's didn't involve the kind of money players received in recent years for jumping from the NHL to the WHA but were just as interesting. In 1909 Renfrew persuaded Lester and Frank Patrick to come east and they each received three thousand dollars for the season, the highest salaries ever paid hockey players up to that time. The 1910 National Hockey Association season brought in a new rule placing a limit of five thousand dollars on a whole team's salary. In those days most teams carried only eight players so this meant about six hundred dollars for each player. With this move players threatened to form a union and possibly organize a new league. Owners stuck to theirsalary limits and the Patrick boys remained in the west. In the two years they were involved in professional hockey Renfrew did not win the Stanley Cup but they con- tributed greatly to Canada's hockey history. This type of small town involvement in major league sport is something of the past and will probably never be seen again. Did you know? That Billy Reay coach of the ChicagO Black Hawks has a, very interesting middle name. It's Tulip, That a goaltender has never scored a goal in National Hockey league history, Clint Benedict of the old Ottaw"a Senators who was one of the first goalies to wear a mask recalls he once scored a goal in an exhibition game but never did in a regularly scheduled game. That in 1973-74, Phil Esposito of the Bruins led all NHL players in shots on goal. He had 393 shots and scored 68 goals for 17.3 percent, an increase from the 13.3 percent he had last season when he scored 55 goals on 411. shots.
