Staff photo Following a meeting of the South Huron Hockey League, suspensions of two Exeter Mohawk players have been upheld. Mohawk defenceman Jack Chipchise was suspended for the balance of the season with the possibility that Chipchase may not be allowed to play the following season. The suspension was the result of an incident at the end of the game between the Mohawks and Zurich Buckeyes December 16 in which Chipchase manhandled a game official. Mohawk manager Louis Mitchell said the suspension was not appealed by his team but that represen- tations will be made to clarify Chipchase's status for the next season. Receiving a four game suspension as a result of activities in the Zurich game was Jim Guenther. The Mohawks appealed that suspension on the basis of what they contended to be inferior officiating in the game. Mitchell said he wrote a letter to referee in chief Brian Campbell complaining about the officiating in the game. In other Mohawk news, Mitchell said his squad was looking forward to the second half of the season with the Mohawks compiling a six and seven win loss record in their initial thir- teen games. He praised goalie John Hayter for his work between the pipes and said the Mohawks will have a second goalie for the remainder of the season. He said Jeff Davis played a fine game against the Kettle Point Warriors in a contest recently. "We're still experiencing growing pains" Mitchell said referring to the up down and down season which the team has experienced both on and off the ice. The Mohawks defence has been hit hard with the two suspensions and a knee in- jury to Paul Brooks which will see him out for the remainder of the season. Forward Marty Overholt is lost for the balance of the season as the result of a broken collar-bone. Mitchell termed at- tendance at the Mohawks' home games as "pretty good" but that they were always looking for more fans. All WINTER COATS 30% OFF OUR REG. PRICES DRESS PANTS 20% OFF OUR REG.
