Times-Advocate, 1979-04-04, Page 14Times-Advocate, April 4, 1979 Play at home Sunday at 2 p.m,
Hawks back in playoff contention
The Exeter Hawks,
displaying some of the skills
and determination that
enabled them to sideline
Mitchell, beat St. George 8-5
at the rec centre, Friday, to
move back into contention in
the OHA Junior “D” semi-
fomal.
Trailing 2-0 in the series,
the Hawks faced a “must
win” situation and were
never headed in the contest,
although a third period lapse
had their supporters slightly
worried.
The locals still face an
uphill struggle to get to their
third consecutive final
series. They have to win one
game in St. George and the
Lions have only been beaten
once on home ice this season.
The series resumes this
Friday night when the teams
meet in St. George for an
8:30 p.m. contest and they’ll
be back at the rec centre on
Sunday for the fifth game at
2:00.
While some of the local
supporters may be hoping a
few of the Lions come up
with some strange maladies
for those games, Hawks
coach Ron Bogart may be
hoping that the “bug” which
hit Don McKellar in Friday’s
game sweeps through the
team.
The Grand Bend area
player, who missed last
year’s semi-final with St.
George due to a broken
ankle, was sick to his
stomach but ended up pacing
the team to thevictorywith a
hat-trick performance.
He started the Hawks off
on the right foot at the 5:14
mark of the first when he
finished off a power play
with “Fred Mommersteeg
and Ken Pinder, added
another power play goal
early in the second and then
ended the Lions hopes with
an empty net goal in the
third.
Mommersteeg potted his
first of two near the end of
the first on a setup by Phil
Knight, and after the Lions
got one of those back a
minute later, Dave Kinsman
scored his first of two at the
17:21 mark after being set up
by Brian Mercer.
The Lions again came
back in short order as they
scored in less than a minute
on a power play to make the
score
first.
The Hawks continued to
dominate the game and
scored three unanswered
tallies in the middle frame
for the cushion they needed.
Mommersteeg picked up the
first one after only seven
seconds of play when he stole
the puck from a St. George
BIG SAVINGS
Hackers, Salon lead
in Lucan rec loop
By PAUL WRAITH
This week in Lucan rec
league hockey action
Hagen’s Hackers and Salon
174 both went up one game to
none as they won their first
games of the finals.
In the “A” championship
final the Hackers defeated
the Blues 4-3 on the strength
of Gary Revington’s three
goals. The Blues opened the
scoring in the first as Willy
Feke took a pass from
behind the net and knocked it
past Hacker’s goalie Chuck
Fredin.
Revington’s first goal tied
the game at one apiece as he
backhanded a shot past
Blue’s goalie Phil Vousden.
Revington then scored his
second goal in the second
period as he again put a shot
in the top corner when the
Hackers were on a power
play. The Blues tied the
game as Bill Boshart scored
in less than a minute into the
third period.
Midway through the period
Ron Keys scored to give the
Hackers a short lived 3-2

lead but Chris Mouritzen
evened the count at 3 as he
scored less than a minute
later. Gary Revington
scored what proved to be the
winner as he found the net
with 1^ minutes remaining.
The Blues pressed but
were unable to score even
after Boshart missed a last
minute penalty shot.
Revington, Fredin and
Boshart were the three stars.
In the consolation final
Salon 174 defeated the
Greens 2-0 in a close hard
fought game. Brett Fair
weather’s first period goal
was enough for the win as he
scored after a scramble in
front of the Green’s net.
Marty Wraith finished the
scoring when he scored from
the point in the second
period. 174’s goalie, Keith
Ewer, turned aside 20 shots
and the first ever shutout in
Rec League play.
Ewer, Brad Taylor who
had two assists and Wraith
were the three stars.
Both series will again be
decided on a two game total
goal series. The final games
will be played Friday night
and their banquet held
Saturday night.
On the weekend the Lucan
rec league all-stars com
peted in a tournament at
Goderich. In their first game
they defeated the Seaforth

defender after a faceoff just
outside the blueline and
skated in alone to beat Mark
Northey.
McKellar then potted his
second power play goal at
the 2:27 mark on a play with
Dave Bogart and Jamie
Caldwell to increase the lead
to three goals and Phil
Knight scored the third tally
of the stanza when he raced
the length of the rink and
deftly eluded the would-be
defenders.
The teams traded goals in
the first three minutes of the
final session, with Kinsman
picking up his second tally of
the night when he deflected
in a pass from Ron Bilcke.
With their 7-3 margin, the
Hawks got a little com
placent and the Lions took
advantage of the situation to
score a pair in less than a
minute just after the midway
mark.
However, McKellar took
the pressure off when he
picked up a puck at the side
of the net and lifted an ac
curate shot into the open net
at the other end to complete
his three-goal performance.
The Hawks picked up 16 of
the 26 penalties called by
referee-columnist Ken
Werboweski, but held the
Lions to one power play goal,
while scoring a pair them
selves.
Included in the penalites
were five-minute fighting
majors to Exeter’s Preston
Dearing and Matt Misner of
the Lions.
While the Hawks
dominated play throughout
the contest, many of the
shots they did allow were of
the point-blank variety,
giving Randy Lovie no
chance. He ended up with 11
saves, while Northey
recorded 20 at the other end
of the rink.r
