The•defending champion Mitchell Hawks only lost throe games this season while cruising to a first - place finish in the Western Division of the Ontario Hockey Association's Junior Development League. Now the Seaforth Centenaires will have to beat them four times in the next two weeks to steal the division title and advance to this year's championship against the winner of the Port Stanley- Thamesford series. • It's a tall order and on paper Seaforth's prospects arepoor The sixth-place Centenaires tui 'shed a whopping 32 points behind the Hawks in the standings. But it's spring and against all odds the Cents are still playing Cinderella, and the game is played on ice not paper. Exeter and Lucan were good teams too and both fell in four - straight games to the Centenaires, which you might have been locked up in loony bin for predicting a month ago. The Hawks got by a surprisingly tough North Middlesex squad in six games, then swept Mt. Brydges to reach this series. This is the first time the Hawks and Centenaires have ever met in a division final, so it won't take a lot of "do or die" speeches or coaches banging garbage pails with sticks in the dressing room to motivate either team. The matchup is a marketing dream and fans are in for a treat. "We always play Mitchell tough, even in those seasons when we've only had a mediocre team," says Centenaires general manager Gregor Campbell, remembering in particu- lar a game last season at Mitchell when the shortstaffed Cents were outshot 22-3 in the third period but still emerged with a 2-1 win. He points out this series has some interesting undercurrents beyond the natural rivalry that stems from the closeness of the two communities and the historic sporting ties that go back to the days of Morenz and Weiland. The Centenaires' assistant coach Joe Chaffe, for instance, is the brother of Mitchell head coach Jack Chaffe, who used to play for the Cents in the mid -80s, along with Mitchell assistant Jeff Pauli, when the Hawks suspended oper- ations for a season. Jack and Joe own a beef feedlot and work together every day. Seaforth head coach Maurice Guy played his minor hockey in Mitchell before Last chance for title for overage Seaforth players going on to a Junior B career in Stratford and Sarnia. Also, Hawks' sniper Kory Dietz was Cents' lead- ing scorer three seasons back, a teammate of some current veterans on the Centenaires. "That's another thing," the Seaforth general manager adds, "this is also the last kick at the can for some of our veterans who will be overage next year and have never been this close to an OHA title before. They want to win this thing even more than I do, so win or lose, we won't quit and when the series is over the Hawks are going to know they were up against a good and hungry hockey team." Seaforth and Mitchell met five times this season with the Hawks winning four times and the Cents once, by a shutout. Mitchell outscored Seaforth 18-11 in those games, but they were close with the Cents losing twice by a goal, and another time by two goals, the last of which went into an empty net. The Hawks were the' top defens- ive team and second best offensive team in the West this season. The Centenaires were second best when it came to defence, but way down the list when it came to offence. Mitchell had two 30 -goal scorers (#18, Rob Boville, 36 G 32 A for 68 points and #11 Dietz, 33 G 32 A = 65 P) and another pair of 20 -goal scorers (#5 Jeff Smith, 21 G and 33 A = 54 P and #9 Rob Jarmuth, 22 G and 31 A = 53 P). Seaforth's only 20 -goal scorer was Paul McLlwain (26 G 28 A = 54 P). Hawks' goaltender Darcy Ballyntyne finished with the league's best goals against average at 2.50 and Mitchell's other goalie, bantam -aged Elliot Faust, who started more games, was second best at 2.63. But veteran goaltender Dana Duskocy remains the Cents' "ace in the hole." He has always been a great pressure goaltender, best when the chips are on the line and fat is in the fire, but this season he has sometimes been simply phenomenal during Seaforth's eight -game playoff run, posting eight wins and sporting a 1.83 playoff goals against average entering this division final. Parr Line brings home silver medal continued from front page on Friday left the girls in position in the semi-finals against the host team, McMillan's Sand and Gravel. air Line took the lead early in the game with the final end to be a one to zero score, that put Parr Line into the finals on Sunday. The opposing team, H. & L. Satellites, from Barrie had to beat Parr Line twice and as it turned out the first game was a tic one -one when all of a sudden the Satellites tucked in a second goal for the win. On the first shift of the second game, Parr Line scored 'and it looked like things may turn around but with two minutes left in the game the Satellites tied it up again and then came back with a second goal to take the lead and time ran out for a comeback. But Seaforth came away with a silver medal from the championships. Members of the Parr Line team are: Coach - Janet Buchanan, Man- ager - Estella Higenell.
