Waxers Get Good Start
The Exeter Waxers competing in the Silver Stick
novice hockey tournament are off to a flying start.
Over the weekend in Parkhill, the Waxers won their
first two games over Mitchell and Lambeth and
qualified for the next round which is the regional final.
Their next game will be played on January 3.
Before that the Waxers will •be involved in their
own novice tournament to be held at the South Huron
Rec Centre on Boxing Day and the next day.
A total of 13 teams will be in for the two day event
and fans are assured of lots of exciting action. Here's a
good chance to cheer to your heart's content and
probably wear off some of the over abundance of
calories gained from Christmas dinner..
A complete schedule of the tourney along with a
picture of the Waxers will appear in next week's issue.
The Pooley Report
One of the recent weekly reports from Columbus,
Ohio on the Ohio State hockey Buckeyes features a
story on Paul Pooley.
After the first 14 games for the Buckeyes, Paul
Pooley has 10 goals and five assists for 15 points while
twin brother Perry has three goals and the same
number of assists.
The feature on Paul is as follows:
If Ohio State's Paul Pooley participated in some
type of hockey scoring contest, he'd probably win
every time. After all, the buckeye sharp -shooter led
OSU in scoring last year with 60 points, and was co -
recipient of Rookie -of -the -Year honors in the Central
Collegiate Hockey Association.
But scoring points is not the Exeter, Ontario
native's only strong suit. He has several others.
"It sort of bothers me that I'm just noted for scor-
ing points," said Pooley, whose identical twin brother
Perry also plays for the Buckeyes. "I think, I can play
good defense as well, and can handle the puck pretty
well, too. You can score goals, but it doesn't do any
good and hurts the team if you score one goal and the
other team scores two."
The 6-0, 180 pound center has other strong suits as
well, including his maturity and intelligence. Because
of his maturity, he's been selected as a alternate cap-
tain for the Buckeyes, a rare feat for a sophomore.
And in the classroom Pooley maintaines a 3.8 grade
point -average.
"He's a mature hockey player, and that is what
helps him to play so well," said Buckeye Coach Jerry
Welsh. "And he's a leader out there, even though he's
only a sophomore. He's a lot older than your normal
kid of that age." .
In the academic area, Pooley said he takes his
education very seriously. An OSU Scholar -Athlete,
Pooley is majoring in accounting and is thinking about
getting a double major in marketing.
"Getting a good education and my degree is very
important to me," he said. "You never know what
may happen on the ice you may have a freak accident
and break your leg or something - so you have to have
something to fall back on. And as strange as it may
sound. I study a lot, too."
Last year Pooley said he didn't know what to ex-
pect. having played in the Canadian junior hockey
leagues before venturing to Columbus. He said he
knew college hockey was fast -paced, but he wasn't
quite sure how fast.
"I didn't know what 1 could do and didn't have that
much confidence in myself at first," he said. "But
things just happened to work out well. I was surprised
I scored so many points."
Pooley said this year's slow start can be attributed
to last year's prize performance. He believes he put
too much pressure on himself to repeat last year's ef-
fort
Last year I didn't play that well early in the
season. so I put pressure on myself to get off to a
better start." he said. "But I think I'm getting back
into my game now. Both Perry and I were a bit
frustrated hecause of our starts, but Coach Welsh talk-
ed to us and told us to quit worrying about it and to
play our games. It seems to be working."
The main thing is winning," he said. "It's a lot
rougher league this year. sothere'sgoing to be a lot
more closer games. I think we just have to get it
together and not get down if we lose a few games."
I look for Paul to continue to be a consistent and
r ',mpetittve hockey player," said Welsh. "Whether it's
face-off in practice or one in a game, he's always
nmpetitive. He's done an outstanding job for us."
With over two years of collegiate hockey left for
Pooley. it's a good bet that even brighter days are
.1wiiting his future.
Still Scoring
,\ few weeks ago we talked about the possibility of
�ti'<,vne
Gretzky reaching the 200 mark in points in the
atitmaI Hockey League this year.
The great number 99 of the Edmonton Oilers is
heading for that mark. After 32 games, Gretzky has 33
goals and 46 assists for a total of 79 points. At that rate
he would end the 80 game schedule with 197.5 points.
If Gretzky would get two and a half points for the
balance of the season he would end up with 199 points.
