The local juniors edged the defending Ontario Hockey Association champion Exeter Hawks twice by the slimmest of margins on the weekend, 3-2 at. Seaforth Saturday and 2-1 at Exeter the night before, to win all the Morenz marbles, four gamcs to two in the final. It is their first divisional championship in slightly more than a decade, since the 1985-86 season when they rocked on to win their first and so -far only OHA crown. 1t is the fourth divisional title they have captured since the hockey club was put together, in 1974-75. Their other divisional titles were the season before their cham- pionship,1984-85, and in 1975-76, before eventually being ousted by OHA cham- pion Belmont. The Centenaires are now one of four teams left in the running for this year's Ontario title. They begin their West (Yeck) Conference best - of -seven series, which is also the OHA semi-final, against the Bulldogs at Mt. Brydges, Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. Game two is at Seaforth Saturday at 8 p.m., with the third back at Mt. Brydges on Easter Sunday. probably at 3 in the afternoon, and game four back in Seaforth next Tuesday night at 8 p.m. FULL MOON&RINK Saturday night's squeaker clinched the series at the Seaforth and District Community Centres in front of 747 fans, under an "offi- cial- full moon outside, and was sweet revenge for last season's Morenz final, which went the distance and Exeter won in seven games. Those Hawks again fin- ished first in the Morenz this season, 17 points better than the third-place Centenaires, who only clinched a playoff spot the final week of iheir schedule, two points up on North Middlesex in the base- ment, who were eliminated and went golfing early. Only three points separated second from fifth when the ice chips finally settled on this regular season's rchodule at the end of last month. load- ing Mitchell's manager to comment - "it was like a playoff game every night." Indeed, it was. CENT'S 3 HAWKS 2 A big sign at the north end of the rink said "Let's Sizzle Grizzle." Anddid he ever! Veteran Stave li ciaelty of Seeks*, railed "tie" by friends aid teammates, scored twice in Saturday night's clincher, his first on the powcrplay, u the Cents battled back froan a 1-0 deficit after two periods. It was 0-0 after the fust. Another veteran forward, Steve Geiger of Zurich, scored Seaforth's third goal at 9:07 of the final period, which stood as the winner, after Chris McDonald scored Tale of the tape ... Mt. Brydges was top dog, with the best record and only tour losses, in the Ontario Hockey Association's Junior "D"evel- opment League this regular season. They won 34 games, topping the Thomas Division of the West Conference by 20 points. The Seaforth Centenaires fin- ished third in the other division (Morenz), of the same confer- ence, and clawed their way 19 wins. They got by both Lambeth and Port Stanley in six games so far these playoffs. The Bulldogs know where the net is, and scored 84 more goals in their 38 regular season games than the Ccnts did. They also gave up 31 fewer, allowing 101 goals to the Cents' 135. FOUR 20 -GOAL SCORERS These 'Dogs have four 20 -goal scorers in their lineup: #2 Vince Gernat (27 goals), #19 Eric Poirier (29), «17 Chris Cowan (21) and #12 Craig Warren (24).

Brydges' "main man" in net, Kevin Fines. was his divi- sion's all-star goaltender, posting a 2.84 goals -against -average in 17 appearances. Scott Wood played a total of almost 23 games between the pipes for Seaforth, recording a 3.52 goals -against -average. He was the Morenz Division's first -team, all�star stopper. As,a team, the Bulldogs had 1,125 total penalty minutes dur- ing the season - 129 more than the 996 minutes in total the Cents sat in the "sin bin." HEAD. -TO -HEAD The two teams met twice during the regular season games played more than five months ago. The Bulldogs won them both, by identical scores of 6-4. On Sept. 29 in Seaforth, Mt. Brydges connected four times on the powerplay and clinched it with an empty-netter. Exactly a month later (Oct. 29) at the Tri -Township Arena in Mt. Brydges, Mark Van Dooren scored twice in a losing effort for Seaforth. Each team scored twice on the powerplay in that game, but Cents' ace Steve Mclnally had gone back to school that Sunday night and did not play. The Bulldogs are affiliated with the Strathroy Blades, still very much alive and currently leading their Western Junior B Hockey League championship final with Leamington.
