Your Volkswagen Denier TELEPHONE 235.1100 EXETER, The Exeter minor hockey teams gained an even split in their annual minor hockey day at the rec centre, Saturday, while two of the teams which won, went on to post victories in regular Shamrock league action on Sunday. The Exeter bantams completed their play in the annual Ilderton tournament and made a creditable showing as they ended up the silver medalists. After ousting Stoneybrook in their opener last week, the local squad returned for a battle with Strathroy on Saturday afternoon. Strathroy opened the scoring on a breakaway in the first period and then added a power play goal in the second to take a 2-0 lead. However, Exeter caught fire in the final period and came up with four straight tallies to win by a 4-2 margin. Dave Jackson started the fireworks at the 9:18 mark of the final period and Dave Newton scored the equalizer with six minutes remaining. The teams battled on even terms until Allan Gaiser potted the winner with just over a minute remaining and then Dave Shaw picked up the insurance counter. Gaiser drew assists on two of the goals for a three-point total, while single assists were recorded by Tom Coates, Newton, Dave Underwood and Rick Lindenfield. In the championship round, the locals squared off with the powerful Mooretown squad who had easily disposed of their op- position in earlier games. The teams went scoreless until the final minute of the middle frame when a pass-out from behind the net bounced off the goal post into the Exeter net. Mooretown added another tally in the third while the Exeter shooters just missed on several good scoring attempts. Members of the squad receiving the silver medals were Rich Fletcher, Peter Parsons, Tom Coates, Rick Lindenfield, Dave Bell, Pete Tuckey, Kevin Parsons, Bill Glover, Dave Jackson, Wayne Smith, Allan Gaiser, Dave Newton, Dave Underwood, Ed Willis and Dave Shaw. Jack Fuller coaches the team and the assistants are Bob Fletcher and Jack Underwood. Win Pair The Exeter midgets had an easy time in disposing of a pair of old area rivals in their two weekend games. On Saturday, they trounced the Hensall-Zurich combines by a 9-0 margin and Ladies Cur ling Ross 6 — Timmerman 4 Shapton 12 — Ecker 2 Marshall 17 — Simmons 4 Hoyle 11 — Busche 4 Moffat 7 — Pfaff 4 Burton 9 — Boyle 2 Simpson 10 — Gregus 4 Prout 5 — Hackney 4 McDowell 7 — Coleman 5 Gray 6 — Mickle 5 Hodgert 9 — Amos 6 McDonald 10 — Strang 4 then came back on Sunday to post a 5-0 verdict over Lucan. Despite being short-handed for the minor hockey day activities, the locals didn't run out of steam in their battle with the Hensall- Zurich squad and they scored five goals in the final period to win going away. Dave Cann paced the scoring attack with a hat trick per- formance while Preston Dearing, who was named most colorful player, added a pair. Single tallies came off the sticks of Jeff Fuller, Brian Mercer, Doug Brooks and Dave,Atthill. All the Exeter players helped on at least one goal. Brooks drew four assists and Dearing had three to lead in that department. On Sunday, the Exeter midgets scored four times in the first period and then coasted to their second straight shut-out as they hosted Lucan. The scoring was evenly split with goals being triggered by Preston Dearing, Jeff Fuller, Dave Bogart, Doug Brooks and Brian Mercer. Brooks and Mercer also picked up an assist each, while helping out on the other three goals were Larry Dawson, Wayne Parsons and Dave Bell. Keep It Going • The Exeter Pee Wees ran their win streak to five straight as they came up with a pair of victories over the weekend. On Saturday they trimmed St. Marys II by a 3- 0 verdict and then posted a 4-3 win over Lucan on Sunday. Peter Dearing and Doug Cooper shared netminding honors on Saturday to gain the shut-out. Chris Van Gerwen opened the scoring for Exeter on a play with Darren Vandergunst and Brent Atthill and then Steve Batten upped the margin to two goals when he finished off a play with Scott Brintnell and Dave Hayter. John Kernick, who was named most colorful player for the locals, finished the scoring on a solo effort in The second period. Sunday's contest with Lucan was a nip and tuck affair right to the final whistle. Jeff Shipley gave the vistors a 1-0 lead in the first, but Exeter came back in the second with goals by Steve Laithwaite and Chris Van Gerwen to take a 2-1 lead. Doug Scott, John Kernick and Darren Vandergunst drew assists on the tallies. Lucan's Al Craig knotted the count late in the middle stanza and then Exeter came back with two more early in the third to take what appeared to be a comfortable margin. However, Lucan pulled their goalie in favor of an extra at- tacker and pulled to within one goal and almost got the equalizer before the final buzzer. John Kernick and VanGerwen scored Exeter's final markers, while Jamie Hodgins scored for the visitors. Lose again The Exeter bantam II team scored the first and last goal in their battle with St. Marys H on minor hockey day, but the visitors netted four in between to post a 4-2 margin. Jim Siddall fired Exeter's first marker on a play with Scott Pincombe in the first two minutes and Steve Prout added the second tally in the final two minutes on a play with Trevor Boyle. Mike Murray was named Exeter's most colorful player in the contest, Drop pair The Exeter atoms had their unbeaten streak snapped by Parkhill in Saturday's action at the rec centre, and then they dropped their second in a row in Lambeth, Sunday. Parkhill dominated play to post a 3-0 verdict and only some stellar netminding by Jim Lewis and Rick Gilfillan kept the score as close as it was, Lewis was named as Exeter's most colorful player with his superb play in the first half of the game. Steve Griffeth• scored twice for the visitors, while Chris Tiedeman added the other. Playing in Lambeth, Sunday, the Exeter crew had a lapse in the middle stages and ended up on the short end of a 5-2 count. Steve Gould started the locals off on the right foot when, he ' finished off a play with Scott Lovie, and then after Lambeth had knotted the count, Lovie came back to bat in a puck in the crease to give Exeter another lead. Jeff Pfaff drew the assist on that one. From that point on, the hosts swung into high gear and dominated play to post the win. • Good times are coma r--- ontll If For The Best In * PARTS * ACCESSORIES * SERVICE * RENT ALSi vvtl L L rGI its T L L—st VARNA 262-5809 Page 10 - Times-Advocate, December 13, 1977 SUIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIglllllllllllllt111Hnllllllllllllllllllmlllllllllllllllllllllilllll111111miti11111111H` Ho!

COME IN NOW AND SAVE SOME In only their second outing of the year, the Exeter Waxers posted • a 3-3 tie with Mitchell in Saturday's novice game at the rec centre.

Picking up assists were Steve Anderson, Don Perry, Jeff Dalrymple and Quinn. Russell was named 'Exeter's most colorful player in the event. 11 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 11 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 11 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 M 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 We receive weekly statistics for the Ontario Hockey Association Continental senior league from statistician Nick Martin and they usually contain interesting informa- tion. This week Nick informs that 14 players are in their six- th season with their original club since the league was organized for the 1972-73 season. The only members of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets to play in all six- seasons are this year's captain Barry Baynham and Jamie Robb, While talking about the Continental loop, the newest team in the league the Petrolia Squires continue to impress everyone. They scored a 7-2 Sunday night win over the Lon- don Kings. It ran their season record to 16 victories in as many games. They remain undefeated and according to Exeter Hawks manager Fred Mommersteeg who took in Sunday's game, "It will be a long time before they suffer a loss. They play just like a NHL team." At the other end of the ledger, the Lucan-Ilderton Jets are suffering through their worst season in six. To date they have won only one game while losing an even dozen. Jets manager Don Urbshott told us Monday morning, "We are probably two players short of having a competitive team. We are in the rebuilding stages and it's tough to get a team up after losing so many." He added, "We have the potential. Friday night in Preston they played extremely well except for about 10 minutes in the third period. I guess we have to take our lumps once and awhile." The Jets will be at home at the Ilderton arena Friday night at 8:15 against the Stratford Perths who are suffering through lean times. About Friday's game Urbshott com- mented, "It will be a battle for last place or for the last playoff spot." Neither Stratford or the Jets have been able to win any games away from home. The previous record for consecutive wins in the Con- tinental was 14 games run off by the L-I Jets before this year's strong Petrolia team came along. In 13 games this year, the Jets have scored only 37 goals while giving up 97 goals to the opposition. It is the worst goals for and against record in the league. Another big game One of the most important games so far this year for the Exeter Hawks in the OHA Junior "D" league will take place at the South Huron Rec Centre when the Mitchell Hawks will supply the opposition, It will be a battle for first place in the western group- ing. At the moment the Mitchell club has lost only two games while the Hawks have lost on three occasions. The Hawks lost some of their high scoring power Fri- day night as they had to scramble back with three third period goals to tie the Lucan Irish at 4-4. Sunday night the Hawks regained their high scoring as they swamped the Tavistock Braves 14-3. It was the fourth time in their last five starts that the Hawks had reached 10 or more goals. Notes from the NHL A week ago we read an article in the Hockey News stating that reports on Bob Prince, the new Pittsburgh Penguins broadcaster were so bad it's a wonder he's still doing games. Having heard Prince do major league baseball games for many years we thought the article was tough on the veteran Prince. That was until Saturday night. Appearing on the CBC network Saturday night follow- ing the Leaf game, Prince interviewed the newest Penguin Peter Mahovlich. In addition to concocting poor questions, Prince did not pronounce the former Canadien star's name properly. Canadian coaches Although the number of Canadians playing professional baseball in the United States is very low, a couple of our natives have made it to the big time in coaching roles. London's own Tim Burgess who found a fair amount of success as a minor league coach and just recently named director of player personnel for the New York Jets will be coaching at third base for the Atlanta Braves, Burgess who is known as Tom in the States played all his minor ball in London and was a star with the London Majors when they were kingpins in the Senior Intercounty league, While Burgess is directing traffic at third base for the Braves, Pete Ward will be in the first base coaching box. Ward played quite a few years at third base with the Chicago White Sox. He lived in Montreal in the early days of his life, being the son of former Montreal Maroon defenceman Jimmy Ward. HAPPY KIDS — Exeter amd Mitchell baffled to a 3-3 tie in the novice game at the rec centre, Saturday. Top players on the teams were Troy McMonn, left of Mitchell, and Dave Russell for the Exeter Waxers. Dough! Dough! Dough!
