Times-Advocate, 1980-02-20, Page 10Readying for Skating Carnival All of the close to 180 members of the Exeter figure skating club are busy preparing for their annual carnival. It goes in two sessions on Saturday March 5 at the South Huron: Rec Centre. Club president Marie Tiernan and carnival con- vener Pat Down along with their professional/ instruc- tors have lined up an interesting program. The theme this year will be Mother Goose and you can expect to see a wide variety of fairy tale costumes and characters, Interspersed with the local presentations will be guest skaters. Leading the group will be Exeter's own Laurie Prout and her partner Bill Scriver who placed sixth in the novice dance pairs competition in the re- cent Canadian championships. Next come Mary Jo Fredy and Tim Mills, 1980 junior pairs medalists and Anissa Gurchin, 1979 pre- novice Western Ontario sectional medalist. • Last game at Olympia The last hockey game ever to be played in the Detroit Olympia will take place this Thursday night, February 21. A recent poll by the Detroit media selected 21 of the players ever to wear a Red Wing uniform and 17 of that group will be honoured Thursday night. Four of the group are deceased. There was no surprise with the selection, of the late Jack Adams as the manager and coach of Detroit NHL teams. Before they became the Red Wings the team was known as the Cougars and Falcons. The team was established in the late 1920's. Jack Adams was connected with the Detroit franchise for more than 30 years and was in charge of the Wings when Gordie Howe broke in. That was some 33 years ago. The four goalies selected for the Red Wings dream team were the late Terry Sawchuck, Glenn Hall, Harry Lumley and Roger Crozier. The other players named were Larry Aurie, Her- bie Lewis, Reg Noble, Ebbie Goodfellow, Bill Quackenbush. Syd Howe, Bob Goldham, Red Kelly, Marcel Pronovost, Marty Pavelich, Ted Lindsay, Sid Abel , Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, Jack Stewart, Norm Ullman and Bill Gadsby. List hockey schools The February 15 edition of the Hockey News contains a complete list of all of the hockey schools, available in Canada and the United States. The list of schools with complete information as to dates. fees facililities, etc., covers two full pages in the Hockey News. Of the schools listed 22 are in Canada and 23 located in the United States. The best known one of course in this area is the Huron Hockey School at Huron%Park. The school at Huron Park operated out of the Stephen township arena is one of the better schools in existence and year after year draws a large number of young pros and junior stars recently drafted by NHL clubs. It was started some eight years ago by Brian Gilmour. Bill Mahoney and Ron Mason, Gilmour is still the school director. Surprisingly enough there is an Exeter hockey school. Before anyone get's excited, it's in Exeter, New Hampshire. Good returns Directors of the South Huron Big Brothers Association are very pleased with their financial returns from the recent all star game of the South Huron intermediate hockey league. Tuesday afternoon league president John Stephens turned over a cheque for $943 to Jim Chapman, presi- dent of the local Big Brothers chapter. In turn. Chapman said his group will be turning half of the amount to the Goderich chapter of Big Brothers. This was the second consecutive year that Big Brothers have profitted from the all star game. It was played in Zurich a few weeks ago. Each year the all stars play in the home rink of the defending cham- pions. While talking about the South Huron hockey loopwe would like to say as we have in the past few years that the league governors should be proud of the way the league is operating. The brand of hockey dished up is excellent and the league itself is first class. Started a few years ago by fellows like John Ainsley and John Stephens, the league has been strong on constitution and have run a very tight ship. This depth of leadership was demonstrated a few weeks ago when the Thedford team was tossed out of the League because of the use of in'eligible players.
