Page 12 Times-AtIvocpte, April 7, 1977 Hawks win flip of coin Next three games in Zurich
Hawks split exciting tilts with Dukes
their own end with only one
defenceman back. Rick Selman
was given a clear shot and he
neatly deiced Lovie to one side
and flipped the puck into the net
for the winning marker.
Area hockey fans will be in for
some exciting action this week if
the Wellington Dukes and Exeter
Hawks continue to turn in the
perf ormances they did in
Wellington over the past
weekend,
The two teams split the opening
games of their best-of-seven OHA
semi-final, Wellington taking the
Saturday opener by a 3-2 margin
and the Hawks coming through
with an exciting 4-3 overtime win
on Sunday.
As the scores indicate, neither
contest was settled, until the final
whistle had blown,
However, the Hawks came out
of the first two games with an
advantage as they also won the
flip for the odd game and
Wellington will now have to win
two games in Zurich to oust the
locals.
The Hawks will have home ice
advantage for the next three
games, the first of which will be
played Thursday night at 9:00
p,m, The fourth game of the
series will follow on Friday at
8:00 and the fifth game will be on
Saturday at 7:00.
The weekend games in
Wellington were both well played
contests, featuring some heavy
scored on in the first minute of
play in their last three
games... over 100 Exeter fans
were on hand for Sunday's game
and they completely dominated
the game's cheering to give the
Hawks a big boost_ the
Wellington arena is only three
years old, having been built after
the former structure was
destroyed by fire. It has a cement
roof and despite warm tem-
peratures outside, it was ex-
tremely chilly inside...Hawks
manager Fred Mommersteeg
made the winning coin call to get
the extra home game, The final
two games of the series will be
played mid-week unless the OHA
allows a change, Neither team is
happy with that situation, due to
the lengthy trip involved.
The attending doctor advised
there did not appear to be any
damage to the eye, although
Kinsman will be a doubtful
starter for this week's contests,
Trafner Bob Drummond was
also busy in the two games
helping other Hawks off the ice
after they were felled by shots to
the ankle and a couple of stiff
body checks.
GAME NOTES—Coach Ron
Bogart was naturally pleased
with his team's performance
after the long bus trip, but was
concerned that they were not
clearing the puck from their end
as well as they did in the Mitchell
series...he also noted they were
having trouble getting untracked
in the early minutes, having been
hitting. However, there were Only
nine penalties on Saturday and 18
on Sunday as the referees failed
to call some obvious infractions.
The two standouts in both
games were the netminders,
Exeter's Randy Lovie played
exceptionally well, particularly
in the first two periods of both
games when his team mates had
trouble getting untracked.
In the final periods, it was
Gerry Harrison of Wellington
who helped his mates stay in the
game as the Hawks stormed to
the attack.
The Dukes, many of whom
were in Switzerland a year ago
when they played midget hockey,
displayed a quick breaking at-
tack that caught the Hawks
defence out of position on several
occasions.
In the opener in particular,
they had three or four two-on-one
breaks and on one occasion had a
three-on-one situation that they
converted into a score.
Start quickly
The Hawks didn't have to
wait long in Saturday's opener to
see the style displayed by
Wellington to get the puck out of
their own end.
After only 30 seconds, defen-
ceinan Bill. Vidito fed a pass to
Bob Snider and the latter broke
out with Curt Stone to race in on
one Exeter defender, Snider
pulled the defenceman to his side
and then slipped the puck to Stone
who had a clear shot on Lovie for
the game's first goal,
The play continued fairly even
throughout the balance of the
period, although Wellington had
better scoring opportunities and
Lovie was called on for several
spectacular saves,
Exeter finally knotted the
count at 1-1 as Brian Taylor
dented the twine at the 7:58 mark
of the second when Rick Ingram
pushed the faceoff back to the
speedy winger and he took one
stride and blasted the puck into
the top corner.
Wellington went ahead on a
power play with about five
minutes left in the middle stanza,
but Taylor scored near the end of
the period on a power play
featuring some good passing on
the part of his linemate, Ingram
and Gerald Weido.
The two teams battled on even
terms throughout most of the
final period until Wellington
quickly broke three players out of
DOUBLE DUTY — In addition to coming up with two fine perfor-
mances in Wellington, Exeter goalie Randy Lovie turned defenceman
on this play when he came well out of his net to clear a puck before it
was picked up by a Dukes player. T-A photo

Bounce back
The Hawks had to overcome a
two-goal deficit to win Sunday's
overtime battle,
Wellington quickly jumped to
the attack again and scored in the
first minute of play when Lovie
couldn't recover from a close-in
shot and Harry MacDonald
blasted one from the point into
the open net.
The home crew scored again
near the mid-way mark of the
initial stanza when they gained
control of the puck while killing
off a penalty and Selman found
an open corner.
The Hawks finally started to
roll in the second period and Rick
Ingram blasted a 25 footer into
the cage after taking a pass from
Taylor at the 6:30 mark.
They then ran into penalty
trouble with a double minor and
misconduct to Don McKeller and
an Exeter bench minor, but they
managed to hold off the
Wellington power play to escape
with only a 2-1 deficit at the end of
the second.
At the 6:40 mark of the final
period, Ken Pinder won a face-off
in the Wellington end and slipped
the puck to Fred Mommersteeg
who blasted a quick shot into the
net for the equalizer.
However, Wellington took a 3-2
margin only three minutes later
when they scored on a delayed
penalty situation when the initial
shot trickled behind Lovie and a
winger slipped it into the net.
The Hawks continued to play
best hockey of their the series and
got their first break when Brian
Taylor attempted to clear a puck
out from the Wellington corner,
The puck hit a defenceman and
then hit Harrison's skate to
deflect into the net with six
minutes remaining.
Taylor then scored his fourth
goal of the weekend at the 4:06
mark of the overtime session
when he batted a puck out of the
air to get the winner,Phil Knight
and Noel Skinner drew the
assists.
Wellington just missed getting
the equalizer shortly after when a
winger broke in alone on Lovie.
However, the Exeter netminder
played it perfectly and just
managed to get his ,stick on the
puck as he was falling to cover
the open corner.
Three hurt
Three members of the Hawks
missed part of the weekend ac-
tion due to injuries. Phil Knight
sat out most of the second period
in Saturday's opener after being
cut over the eye and on the
forehead with an errant stick.
Jim Ferguson had to retire late
in Sunday's contest to go to the
Belleville hospital for stitches to
close a cut over his eye.
The most serious injury was
sustained by rookie defenceman
Dave Kinsman. He was badly cut
around the eye by a stick in the
first period on Sunday and was
taken to Picton for treatment.
This will be a busy weekend for sports fans in this area
with a combination of baseball and hockey.
Locally of interest the Exeter Hawks will be on home
ice at the Zurich arena for three consecutive games in the
Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" semi-finals.
The Hawks who came back from a weekend trip to
Wellington in Eastern Ontario with an even split of two
games will meet the same Wellington team in Zurich Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday nights.
Only one goal separated the two teams in the first two
games and one went into overtime so this should be a good
indication that we are in for three excellent games of
hockey.
Manager Fred Mommersteeg and coach Ron Bogart
have the Hawks in high gear and they should give a good ac-
count of themselves on the weekend.
Also, Thursday, major league baseball comes to Toron-
to with the opening American league game between the
Toronto Blue Jays and the Chicago White Sox.
Despite a fairly poor record in spring training the Jays
have shown some spurts of good pitching, fielding and bat-
ting. All players on the team seem to be showing a lqt of
enthusiasm and desire which will overcome some of the
deficits in their actual playing abilities.
We expect to be in CNE Stadium a week from Thursday
when the Detroit Tigers will be providing the opposition for
the Blue Jays.
While the weatherman appears to be a little slow in ad-
mitting spring is here many area sports programs are being
planned.
Soccer officials in Exeter and Lucan are organizing for
the upcoming summer activities and several ball programs
will be carried on.
Damien Solomon of the Exeter Centennial soccer club
tells us that boys between the ages of six and 16 years of age
are welcome to play and registrations will be held at South
Huron District High School on Saturdays April 16 and 23.
The Exeter Centennials will again be participating in
the Ausable senior soccer loop and they will see their first
action early in May.
At Lucan the genial OPP officer Jim Craig passes on in-
formation that three minor soccer teams from the Irish
town will be taking part in a district league. The other
teams are from St. Marys, Huron Park and Thamesford,
Registration for the Lucan youngsters will be Saturday,
April 16. There will be three categories in the area league.
They are atoms, mosquitoes and pee wees.
A house league will also be in operation for Lucan boys.
Reg Crawford is president of the Lucan minor soccer
group.
Anyone wishing to coach any of the Lucan teams are
asked to contact Jim Craig or Peter Bakker.
The Exeter and district recreation softball league will_
hold its organizational meeting at the Exeter Public School
library on Monday, April 18.
This popular league was won last year by the Crescent
Rolls. All wishing to compete this year including new
players and teams are asked to attend the first meeting.

While many race horses from this area reach the
winners circle quite frequently not only at Western Fair
raceway but at Windsor and Flamboro Downs one last week
deserves special mention.
The ninth race at Western Fair on Monday, March 28
was won by Hi Lea Sue owned by Whitney and Keith Coates
of Exeter with Keith handling the driving chores.
The fact Hi Lea Sue was the winner was not as signifi-
cant as the odds she offered to any backers and they were
few.
Western race secretary Terry Provost says to the best
of his knowledge the $144 for a two dollar win ticket was the
highest ever paid at the London track.
The exactor combining Hi Lea Sue and second place
finisher Northco Deb driven by Jim Wallace of Crediton
paid off at $818.70. Provost said there was one $10 ticket and
six two dollar ducats sold on the exactor.
* *
While talking about horses we will pass on the informa-
tion that Patches Almahurst owned jointly by Bob Pooley
and Bill Ellerington was claimed recently at the
Meadowlands track in New York State for $38,500.
Bob Pooley tells us that Patches Almahurst won $19,000
in purses during the month of January,
