BY THE BOOK — The best way to stop a one-on-two break is for one defenceman to take
the man and the other take the puck. That's exactly what happened on this play as Jim
Lovie dumped the puck carrier and Jamie Chaffe took! the puck out of reach of another

Two of the three area minor hockey teams still in
Contention for provincial championships are halfway
there.
The Exeter midgets hold a two game to nothing
lead over Bradford in the OMHA midget "H" final
round and the Lucan pee wees are in a similar position
with Havelock in the OMHA pee wee "DD" category.
Both clubs won the flip for any deciding games
which may become necessary and are in excellent
position as all they need to do to bring home the cham-
pionships is to win on home ice.
It looks as if both series could be wrapped up in the
minimum of four games, but, any game or series isn't
over until the final whistle goes.
In the pee wee series, Lucan seems to have an ad-
vantage in manpower. In the first two games Hoavlock
only iced 10 skaters. Their top performer No. 4 Jim
Roffey played most of Sunday's game and the extra
work really affected his effectiveness.
Diminutive Doug Haskett in goal for the Lucan
kids turned in an excellent game to get Sunday's
shutout. His play was the big difference in the' out-
come. For the first seven minutes of the second period
Most of the play was in the Lucan end of the rink.
Off to Lake Placid
Did you ever dream of playing hockey at the
Olympics?
This weekend it's not competition at the Olympics,
but, it's second best for a recreation hockey team from
Exeter. They are playing in a 38 tournament at Lake
Placid, New York, the site of the recent Olympics.
Known as the Exeter, Ontario Smalltimers, the
local team will be basically the Pfaff Electric team
bolstered by a couple of players from Lucan.
They will be playing in group 1 of the "C" division
for players 25 years of age or older. •The only other
Canadian teams in this grouping are from Toronto,
Bradford and Glen Cairn.
Other teams are from Wyoming and Rochester,
Michigan and Beaver Falls and Valley Forge, Penn-
sylvania.
A look at Ringette
The game of ringette is quickly becoming a
popular winter sport for girls and an introductory
game has been lined up for this area.
Thanks to Frank Funston at the Stephen township
arena and the Huron Park Minor Hockey Association
two ringette teams from Stoneybrook in London will
show how the game is played.
The exhibition game between the Stoneybrook
Belles and the Stoneybrook Tweens will be played
Thursday night, April 3 at 8 p.m. at the Stephen
Township arena at Huron Park.
There will be a limited number of starter kits and
information booklets available for those interested in
starting a league.
There will be a minimal charge of 50 cents for
adults and 25 cents for students and children.
( Ready for ball season
• While hockey is the main topic on the current
sports agenda thoughts of spring are getting through to
a number of baseball and fastball buffs.
The first meeting of the Exeter recreational soft-
ball league was held recently and it is expected 10
teams will be participating this year.
In addition to regular play, the league will sponsor
a rec tournament at Exeter Community Park in mid-
August.
This year umpiring chores will be handled by
members of the Exeter Saveway club who will be back
in the Southwestern Fastball Association trying to de-
fend their 1979 championship.
In area baseball ranks, Joe Fulop tells us the
Dashwood Tigers need some new players for their
Huron-Perth season. Anyone wishing to try out should
call Joe Fulop at 235-1022 or Bob Hoffman at 237-3352.
Takes music home
An avid curler from the Exeter curling club was at
the Silver Broom world curling championships in
Moncton, New Brunswick last week.
No, he wasn't one of the competitors. It was Gerry
Smith who is one of the top fiddlers in this area and
brings home several prizes each year from musical
contests throughout the province.
It was something like taking coal to Newcastle or
salt to Goderich when Gerry and Chuck Joyce of
Woodstock provided fiddling music for the entertain-
ment of the competing curlers.
He was told by a niece of Don Messer that is was
something to have fiddlers from Ontario bringing
"down east music" back home.
Gerry saw the semi-final series between Norway
and Switzerland, but, missed Sunday's final because of
travel committments back home.
The 1981 Silver Broom championships will be held
at the Thompson arena in London.

championship over the
weekend with two straight
victories over Havelock.
Playing on homelice, the
Lucan youngsters scored a
very close 3-2 victory
Saturday and Sunday roared
right back with a convincing
5-0 win.
The third and fourth
games of the best-of-seven
final series will be played in
Havelock Saturday and
Sunday of this week. Lucan
won the toss of the coin and if
a fifth game is necessary it
will be in Lucan, Saturday
April 12 with a sixth in
Havelock April 13 and a
seventh if necessary in
Lucan on April 19.
This weekend's games in
Havelock will start at 7 p.m.
Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday
afternoon.
In both games, Lucan took
a 2-0 lead after the first
period of play. Sunday's
game was only three
minutes old when David
Steeper scored on a three-
way ' combination with
Stephen Neil and Les Arts.
Steeper's successful shot
was the fifth of a barrage of
blasts in a few seconds.
With four minutes left in
the first period, Rick
Emery's long shct from the
blueline along the ice found
the mark. Assisting were
Tim Shipley and Jesse
Crawford.
Between the two Lucan
goals, the Irish youngsters
were forced to play two men
short. Havelock was kept off
the score sheet thanks to
great goal tending by Doug
Haskett and fine checking by
Mike Arts, Jesse Crawford
and Rick Emery.
The third Lucan goal came
on a power play at 7.32 of the
second period as Mike Arts
fired a shot along the ice into
the net. Gaining the assist
was Tim Shipley.
