Ape. :I2-and 19 1 ., from 10, ci.rn. to) 2 noon At South Huron Recreation Centre Sports Spotligh The 1979-80 hockey season on the local front is quickly coming to, an end and it's also a very successful conclusion for a number of teams, Two Ontario Minor Hockey Association cham- pionships have already been captured by area clubs and one more is a possibility. First of all congratulations to the Exeter Kinsmen midgets for going all the way and winning the OMHA title in fairly convincing fashion. These youngsters turned in an excellent brand of hockey and were ably guided by coach Jack Fuller, manager Keith Coates and trainer Jack Underwood. The same type of congratulations goes to the Lucan pee wees in bringing home the OMHA pee wee "DD" trophy. These hard working youngsters certainly deserve the Ontario championship and gave their fans many hours of exciting entertainment. Responsible for the success of the team were coach Ken Freeman, his assistant Wayne Hall and manager Reg Crawford. The team received great goal tending from Doug Haskett and Brent Fowles and we hear former professional goalie Ted Ouimet had a lot to do with their fine showing. The other area team still in contention for provincial honours is the Ilderton midgets. They meet Havelock Saturday in the seventh and deciding game. The South Huron intermediate hockey season end- ed Friday night when the Zurich Buckeyes defeated the Exeter Mohawks for the championship. Executive, teams and players in this league are to be commended in operating a very successful cam- paign. The final series was close with two games going into overtime and most of the others being decided by only one goal. The Buckeyes won the championship for the se- cond straight year. It was the first year for the Mohawks and they showed they belong in this type of competition and will surely be back next year. Sunday night at the Stephen arena, MacLean's of Exeter won the first of what is hoped to be the annual Stephen rec hockey tournament. In the final game, MacLean's beat the Stephen Op- timists in an excellent game, Most of the players of the Optimist are members of the club and they are show- ing the same type of hustle in providing a much needed service for the community. Bob Lawrence of the Optimists called later Sunday night to ask us to thank Ken Govers and the Hungry Hollow boys for their hard work in sponsoring the tourney. MacLean's received the Galloway Farms trophy. AlsO on the list of achievements is the winning of the Exeter and district rec league championship by the Dashwood Tigers. Back on the Air The Toronto Blue Jays are back on the airwaves of Southwestern Ontario thanks to radio station CHLO is St. Thomas, About a month ago CFPL in London announced they were discontinuing the Blue Jays broadcasts after three years. One of the reasons given was that the Toronto club did not spend enough money to get a better contender for a pennant. We feel that was a very poor and uncalled for reason. It's about the same as a CFPL listener saying the station wasn't spending enough money to get top notch announcers • and provide the best in entertain- ment. The news from St. Thomas was certainly great for this writer and we hope they do not ever have to regret this move. In carrying the games this year, CHLO also gets the first right of refusal for future years which will likely put CFPL out in the cold. The London station had said earlier that the aban- donment of the Jays broadcasts ,was for only one year and they would take another look at thesituation at the end of the season. Well it looks as if they won't get that chance. Gymnastic champs Congratulations go out to the South Huron District High School gymnastic team on an excellent perfor- mance in the recent Huron-Perth championships in St. Marys. Although the local team failed to repeat as overall thampions, three members of the team did win in- dividual titles. Liz Scott of South Huron was the winner in the senior division, Catherine Patterson wan the junior category and Helen Muller was the elite section cham- pion. Banquet Friday Night The annual windup banquet of the South Huron hockey league will be held Friday night at the South Huron Rec Centre. Frank Funston, manager of the Stephen township arena and coach of the Centralia College team tells us tickets are still available for the dinner and dance. Anyone wishing tickets should contact Frank Funston, John Stephens or representatives of any of the teams.
