Beginning Saturday, January 22 and continuing fo
the next seven weeks television viewers throughou
most parts of Ontario will be able to watch Ontario
Junior Hockey League games.
Thanks to co-operation between the OHL and the
Global network the games will be carried live at 2 p.m
each, Saturday afternoon. It's the first time for major

than 20 years.

r nament at the rec centre over
the weekend.
Leaders in the Mid -Ontario
league, the Harvesters
displayed some accurate•
shooting to post three straight
wins to take the tournament

They started off withal! 11-7

ssrampled for a 6-5 victory
oyer St. George Lions in the
-semi-final and then out -
hustled the Tavistock Braves
' 9-6 in the championship
game.
The tournament was one of
the best attended since its in-
ception and featured several
exciting finishes that gave the
fans full value for their
money..
Hawks. Irish bow •
The Exeter Hawks and
Lucan Irish bowed out earl,
as each lost .in the opening
round.
St. George Lions scored
three times in the middle
frame to overcome an early
lead by the Irish in the first
game of the event and went on
to a convincing 8-3 romp over
the defending OHA
champions. -
Lucap netminder Paul
Creighton was shelled with 46
shots, while the Irish manag-
ed only 22.
John Medd, Geoff Edwards
and Randy Turner scored for
the Irish while Doug Latta
picked up- two assists in _the
losing cause. .
The, Hawks met the even-
tual champions from Grand
Valley in the second game.
and were out of the contest by
the end of the first. period as -
they watched the Harvesters
pour through the defence for
a quick 6-1 lead.
• The locals managed to stick
with the champions Thr the
next two periods but could
never get the gap down to less
than four goals as they lost
11-7.
• Dave Rook started in goal
for the locals and allowed the
. six tallies in the first period.
He .was • replaced by Mike
Tadgell for the balance of the
game.
The Harvesters out -shot
Exeter by a 42-35 margin.
Both teaths scored two
powerplay goals and the
Hawks picked up their first
The arrangements between the OHL and Global are
quite different.from most contracts for sporting events
where the networks or stations pay the leagues plenty
for the rights to broadcast their games.
The OHL had -to literally buy the air time from
Global for about $200,000. They plan to recover this
money from sponsors such as General Motors, Planters,
Imperial Oil, Panasonic and Molson's.
League governors are hoping this television ex-
posure will revive interest in junior hockey in the pro-
vince. Global has outlets in 13 of the 15 areas
represented by junior hockey teams.
The only teams.not covered by Global stations are
the Windsor Spitfires and Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds,
but, attempts are being made to feed the broadcasts to
local stations in these two areas.
OHL commissioner Dave Branch said this week,
"The idea is to sell the game to the public, We -feel junior
hockey is the most exciting game being played and the
best way to have people see the game is to put it under
their noses by way of the television set."
The junior league has put together a broadcast crew
that should do a good job. Mike 'lnscombe of Global will
do the play-by-play with Bobby Hull as the analyst and
Ottawa sportscaster Brian Smith handling the duties
of intermission host.
Rec tourney '
Plans are currently being'completed for one of the
largest hockey ever held in this area.
The tournament expected to draw 32 teams is a. joint
venture of Stephen township arena manager Frank
Funston and South Huron Rec Centre facilities manager
Cam Stewardson.
It will be staged on March 31 and April 1, 2 and 3
using the two area arenas. With 32 teams participating
in an event which guarantees at least three games for
every entry, the fans will also be guaranteed a -lot of
action.
Almost $2,000 in prizes will be up for grabs. The "A"
champs will receive $500 with the runnersup taking
home $300. In the "B" category the two top teams will •
get $400 and $250 respectively and in the "C" division
the prizes will be $300 for the winners and $201 to the
runnersup.
The tourney is open to any recreation league team
up to a maximum population of 8,000 or any teams given
a special invitation by the committee in charge. No
players signed to an OHA 1982-83 card will be allowed
to participate.
.We will have more information on this event as'
team entries begin to flow in.
Great tourney action
While on the subject of hockey tournaments, the an-
nual Exeter Hawks Junior "D" tourney held on .the
weekend was a great success with exciting action and
an excellent brand .of hockey in every game.
The popular event organized six years ago by then
coach Ron Bogart attracts the top junior "D" teams in
.Ontario each year. •
Continuous forechecking and hard work paid off for
the Grand Valley Harvesters as they won the champion-
ship. The Harvesters from the north are leading -in their
own league and if they continue to play the way they
did on the weekend will sure be a contender for the all -
Ontario champioship this year.
Congratulations are in order to Gerald Dearing,
Doc Campbell, Bob Rowe, Gord Kirk, Gabby Mol and
all of the Hawks organi,aingcommittee in presenting a
great, tournament. '
All stars next

into a 2-1 lead in the first
period as they completely
dominated play and appeared
to be well on their way to a
win. Only the fine netminding
of Brent Boswell kept the
Harvesters close as they were
out -shot 17-6 in the opening 20
minutes. -
However, the Grand Valley
crew came out rejuvenated in
the middle frame and took the
play away from the Braves to
out -score them 3-1 and take a
4-3 lead into the final period._
They didn't take long to pull
the game out of reach as they
seored after only 16 seconds
into the final period and add-
ed another only 15 seconds
later to ,take a three -goal
bulge and they answered
every scoring drive by the
Braves after that to post the
9-6 triumph.
Greg Flear and linemate
Murray Hunter potted three
