We are talking about Sweet Impression a three year-old trotting filly owned by Doug Courtney and his Wheeling By Stables of Grand Bend. Sweet Impression was named three year-old trot- ting filly of the year by the Canadian Trotting Associa- tion. The Grand Bend based filly earned more than $100,000 during 1979 with nine victories and seven seconds in 18 starts. Included was a new lifetime record of 2.03, Doug Courtney tells us Sweet Impression will probably be making one more racing start this year before being bred to the trotting sire Soncan at Pine Hollow Stud Farms in Pine Bush, New York. Good gift suggestion If you are looking for an idea for a sports fan on your Christmas list we have a suggestion and it won't take long to do the shopping. How about a ticket to the Exeter Lions club Sportsmen's dinner scheduled for the South Huron Rec Centre on Tuesday, February 5? Top sporting celebrities have again been lined up and the upcoming event should be as good or better than any of the six held in the past. Former New York Yankee all star second baseman Bobby Richardson will be the headline speaker. Backing up Richardson will be one of the mose exciting and controversial referee in National Hockey League history, Red Storey. Richardson who retired from his fabulous career at the age of 31 was named to the American League all star team seven times and holds the record of the most runs batted-in during a World Series. He is now associated with Ben Lippen School, a ChristianHigh School in Asheville, North Carolina. In addition he is very active with the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes. The master of ceremonies for the February 5 dinner will be former Dallas Cowboy and Chicago Bear Craig Baynham who is also a strong supporter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is currently a minister in London, Baseball will be represented by Gary Carter of the Montreal Expos. Carter missed the last few weeks of the 1979 schedule and his presence in the lineup could have made a difference in the Expos stretch drive which just fell short. Chairman George Godbolt tells us that he expects a representative of the Detroit Tigers to also appear. Professional football will be well represented by Terry Metcalf, a running back from the Toronto Argonauts and Cleveland Browns wide reciever Reggie Rucker. This year the female side of sports will be well represented by two world class track and fielders. They are World Cup high jump champion Debbie Brill and veteran nationalrecord holding sprinter Patricia Loverock, Tickets for the dinner are the same as in previous years $25 for adults and $15 for students. They may be purchased from any member of the Exeter Lions club. George Godbolt is the dinner chairman. Exciting action Anyone with a few hours on their hands during the festive season could do a lot worse than drop down to the South Huron Rec Centre when the annual Exeter novice hockey tournament is on. A total of 13 teams from Western Ontario will be participating in the two day event in three divisions. The tournament gets underway Boxing Day, Wednesday, December 26 at 9 a.m. Eight games in the "B" and "AA" sections will be played Wednesday while the "A" division teams battle it out Thursday. The Exeter Waxers will play their first game at 9 a.m. Thursday with Goderich supplying the opposition. Other clubs in the "A" classification are Strathroy, Listowel, Hanover, Elmira, Byron and Walkerton. South London and Oakridge will compete for the "AA" title on Wednesday in a two game total goals series. Competing in the "B" division will be Parkhill, Mitchell, Dorchester, Seaforth and Lambeth. Where is the liniment? After donning the blades as one of the officials in the oldtimers game at the Stephen township arena Sun- day night we could use a bottle or two of liniment. Seriously, it was a real fun time for everyone who attended the official transfer of the arena from the On- tario Development Corporation to the township. ODC manager Jack Malone summed the situation up well when he said, "The arena is back. where it should be in the hands of the public." The arena originally called the Randall arena was built in 1963 by funds contributed by the officers and men of the then RCAF Centralia base. When the air force base closed it was taken over by ODC. The highlight of Sunday's program was the old- timers hockey game in which the best of the west prov- ed to be just that as they defeated a team from the east by a score of 8-1. A few extra penalties administered against the west by the two very just officials failed to help much on the scoreboard. All in all it was a very fun night arid we believe there were quite a few spectators making their first visit to the arena. Now we hope all of Stephen township will make use of the fine facility both as a participant and a spectator. The Exeter Hawks scored a pair of wins on home ice over the weekend to reclaim the fourth and final playoff apot in the northern division of the Junior "D" loop. The four points gave them a one-point lead over Seaforth in the battle for the final playoff position, although the Centenaires have three games in hand over Exeter crew. After dropping a 7-2 ver- dict to Lucan. Wednesday, the Hawks nipped Bothwell by a 4-2 count in a rugged tilt, Friday, and then came up with their biggest goal production of the season The Seaforth midgets will be playing host to a touring Denmark hockey club. The game is scheduled for Tuesday, January 1, at the Seaforth Arena, starting at 3:00 p.m. The Denmark team is from "VOJENS" and con- sists of eight midgets and twelve bantam aged players. Advance tickets are available at several Seaforth There are few sporting events left where the fans are guaranteed more than their money's worth, but that's what will be in store for those who take in the an- nual novice tournament scheduled for the South Huron rec centre next week. About 250 seven and eight- year-olds will be battling it out for supremacy in three divisions, and while their skill levels are enough to amaze most people, the thrills, spills and enthusiasm combine to make this brand of hockey the most en- joyable. The two-day tournament gets underway on Boxing Day and will feature the "B" and "AA" divisions. Oakridge and South London will battle for the latter in a '0.???;0;• Game 1 Game 2 Game 3 Game 4 Game 5 Game 6 Game 7 Game 8 Game 1 Game 2 Game 3 Game 4 Game 5 Game 6 Game 7 Game 8 Game 9 Game 10 Sports Spotligh businesses and at the Seaforth arena.
