Ranger coach' happy
Thanks to former Dashwood resident Etgin Merner
we have received a clipping from the Kitchener -
Waterloo Record regarding Exeter native Dave Shaw.
Dave, the son of Exeter mayor Bruce Shaw and his
wife Fran is having an outstanding year with the Kit-
e.bener Rangers who are trying to repeat as Memorial
Cup champions.
The story said pro scouts are "drooling, even slob-
bering over Dave Shaw and Scott Stevens, two of the
best rookie defencemen the OHL has seen in a long
time."
In answer to the question from NHL general
managers as to which player is the best, Ranger coach
Joe Crozier replied, "Let me put it this way. If I had
a NHL team, I'd want both of them. Really, that's about
all I can say. They're both dandies and both going to
go in the first round of the NHL draft this summer."
Continuing assessment of , his two defencemen
Crozier said, "They're both strong skaters, can shoot
the puck, are aggressive and they're great kids to work
with:"
Specifically about Shaw, the Ranger coach con-
tinues, "He has developed more slowly and didn't play
very physical at the start, but, he's come along in leaps
and bounds and is now very physical."
Crozier paired the two rookie defencemen together
during training camp and they have been together ever
since. They were the only Rangers to play in all 68
league games. Each scored six goals. Stevens had 36
assists and Shaw 25.
Dave Shaw will celebrate his 18th birthday on May
25. He is currently a grade 13 student at Kitchener Col-
legiate Institute.
We talked to Dave in. mid-February and he in-
dicated at that time that he would prefer Minnesota or
Pittsburgh in the NHL, but, added, "I guess I would be
happy to go to any big league club."
Best of luck to Dave and the rest of the Rangers as
they head down the playoff trail. The toughest stumbl-
ing block along the way will likely come from the Sault
Ste, Marie Greyhounds.
Summer sports
With most hockey teams at least on the local scene
on the sidelines, the spotlight will switch to more sum-
mery type sports.
Registrations are underway or coming up for a
number of organizations. The Exeter Minor Baseball
Association is continuing registrations tomorrow night
Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturday morning bet-
ween the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 noon. .
In addition to registrations Thursday night, an in-
formal meeting for all juvenile and junior players in the
South Huron and North Middlesex areas will be held al
7:30 to inform them of plans, schedules and special
events included in a very busy and interesting summer
baseball program.
Those interested in playing minor lacrosse or minor
ball hockey can get more information from Cam
Stewardson during baseball registration hours Satur-
day morning.
The Exeter Minor Soccer Association has set
registrations for Saturdays April 10 and 17 at the South
Huron Rec Centre between the hours 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Those wishing to participate in the minor soccer
program in Lucan have a chance this Saturday between
the hours of 10 a.m. and noon to sign up at the Lucan
arena.
Cam Stewardson, assistant facilities manager at
the South Huron Rec Centre is trying to introduce a new
sport which is a sort of combination between hockey and
soccer.
It's called ball hockey and will be played on the ce-
ment surface of the Rec Centre. Basic hockey rules are
usedand the soccer connection comes from all the run-
ning necessary.
•Very little equipment is needed. One can be in
business with a pair of running shoes and an ordinary
hockey stick.
The ball used in the game is of rubber composition,
but, unlike some rubber or sponge balls does not bounce
very much. .
The only difference to hockey rules% that the blue
line is floating. Once a team has moved the ball across
the opposing blue line that line then floats hack to the
centre of the playing surface and the ball may come
back to that point and then shot to the goal without an
offside being called.
•The ball hockey season for men from the age of 17
years up would start about May 1 -and conclude at the
end of August.
Stewardson says from 15 to 20 players are needed
for each team as it is a fairly strenuous sport.
A meeting has been set for Wednesday, April 21 at
8 p.m. at the Rec Centre. Representatives from each
prospective team are asked to attend.
Rec director Lynne Farquhar has called a meeting
for the following night, Thursday, April 22 to find out
if there is enough interest to warrant setting up a ladies
sio-pitch league this summer. -
For this meeting to start at 7:30.p.m. any girls or
young ladies interested in playing are urged to attend.
Third game in lucan, Thursday
Irish continue winning, beat Langton
The Lucan Irish
listen to rumours.
For the fourth time this
year, the bustling Junor 'D'
team has done what experts
said couldn't be done.
Monday night, the Irish
doubled the score 6-3 on the
Langton Thunderbirds in the
first game of the Ontario
Hockey Association Junior
'D' finals.
The Irish finished third in
their own grouping and then
eliminated the Tavistock
Braves, Mitchell 'Hawks and
Stayner Siskins to qua lifyfor
the provincial final.
The Lucan club ousted
Stayner Thursday night with
a 1-0 victory on a •goal by
Kevin Hartwick after five
minutes of overtime to send
most of the screaming 1,250
finas home happy.
Scouting reports listed the
Langton club as bigger, older,
physical and more balanced,
but, the Irish wasted little
time in disproving that theory
Monday night.
Thg second game was
played last night. Tuesday in
Lucan. The third game is
again in Lucan Thursday
night at 8:15 p.m.
The fourth contest goes
Monday night in Langton at
7:30 and a fifth if necessary
Wednesday, April 14, also in
Langton.
If the series is. extended fur-
ther, games go Friday, April
16 in Lucan and Sunday, April
18 in Langton.
. The Irish scored one goal in
each of the first two periods
and two more early in the
third to lead 4-0 before
Langton hit the scoreboard.
Jamie Shipley
in front at 4.12 of the first
period on a three-way com-
bination with Paul Wraith and
Keith Hartwick.
Keith Hartwick upped the
Irish lead to 2-0 with three
minutes left in the middle
frame. Steve Glenn and Jeff
Shipley assisted.
In the firat minute of the
final period, Steve Glenn con-
verted a pass from Art
Gregory and less than four
minutes later Doug Latta set
up John Medd for the fourth
Lucan goal.
A Langton penalty helped
set up the fifth Irish score at
16.39. Keith Hartwick was the
marksman on a pass from
Paul Wraith.
With less than two minutes
to go Geoff Edwards hit the
Langton net on a pass from

victory.
The Irish took eight of the 14
penalties called by referee

team had 33 shots on goal.
Hpt goal tending
The more than 1,200 fans in
attendance the Lucan arena
Thursday night' were treated
to excellent entertainment as
the Irish -won 1-0 in overtime
to eliminate Stayner.
While all players on both
teams skated fast, executed
crisp passes and hit hard it
was the goalies that stole the
show.
Lucan netminder Dan Sceli
and Mike Dineen of Stayner
were equally sparkling as the
Irish outshot their opposition
45 to 37.
Sceli foiled three Stayner
clean cut breakaways, made
a phenomenal stop asDarrell
Hughson .and Steve Sage
broke in alone in the second
period and held his ground in
the dying minutes of overtime
as Stayner went on a power
play.
At the other end, Mike Di-
neen was equally as sharp. He
stopped everything thrown
his, was by the Irish until
Kevin Hartwick scored the
only goal of the game at 4.56
of overtime.
As the Siskins were break-
ing out of their own end,
Hartwick coolly stepped in to
intercept a pass and fired a
low shot into the net before
Dineen had a chance to move.
Adding to the high quality
of the game was the good per-
formance turned in by referee
Clarke Pollock of Kincardine.
Oust Stayner in exciting fashion
He let both teams play their
game and handed out only 10
in final opener
minor penalties.
The three stars were Kevin
Hartwick, Dan Scell and Mike
Dineen.
