Full program returns to Huron Hockey School this summer
For the first time in three years, the main operatiod of the Huron
Hockey School will return to the Stephen township arena at Huron .
Park this summer.
• The very popular and well respected training school for hockey
players of all ages and skills levels was first established in b71,
,by three men who continue to head up the operation. They are Bill
Mahoney, Brian Gilmour and Ron Mason.

Mason is probably the best man known in this area. He played
junior hockey in Seaforth and now hockey coach at Michigan State
in East Lansing is one of the most successful coaches in the history
of United States college hockey. Ron has been named CCHA coach
of the year.
Bill Mahoney, now a resident of Grand Bend was the coach of
the Minnesota North Stars of the NHL for a short time. He is an
expert in skating analysis and has been a leader in the develop-
ment of skating clinics for minor hockey youth.
Gilmour was an All-American at Boston University a former
coach at McGill University in Montreal and a scout with the Hart-
ford Whalers.
Probably the most important fact leading to the success of the
Huron Hockey School for 15 years is the experience of the three
directors not only in hockey, but, in the teaching profession. .
The Huron Hockey School in addition to the five weeks program
at the Stephen township arena will operate one and two week pro-
grams in 11 other locations. They are in Scarborough, Mississauga,
Nobleton, Ottawa, Hull, Montreal, Cornwall, Brockville and Wind-
sor along with three U.S. locations in Syracuse, New York and St.
Clair Shores and Dearborn in Michigan.
The only resident school will be at Huron Park as the school takes
advantage of the facilities of Centralia College of Agricultural
Technology. The first week of 'classes begins and
con-
cludes from August 31 to September 5 when professiddal players
Will be the students. In the past the Montreal Canadians have made
maximum use of the Huron school by sending a number of players.

Rec Tourney Again
While mentioning Frank Funston he is again teaming up with
South Huron Rec Centre facilities manager Cam Stewardson in
presenting the annual South Huron recreational hockey
tournament.
This tourney which will accommodate 24 teams will be held
March 28, 29 and 30 at the two area arenas and will offer good prize
monies in three divisions.
No players signed with OHA, CAHA, MOAN, university or col-
lege teams will be allowed to participate.
The Stephen arena will be closed down for May and June and
the first two weeks of sne.wf when some renovations will take
first of August some renovations take
place. 'The tow z ship's arena committee has received a grant from
the Ministry of Travel and Tourism the amount of $6,497 for new
boards and glass abot the boards except in the team benches and
penalty box.
Frank Funston told us this week most of the work will be done
by. his staff and he hopes to have the job completed by the middle
of July.
Last Call for Dinner
This is the last time we will be able to talk about the 13th annual
Exeter Lions Sportsmen's dinner. It goes next Tuesday night at
the South Huron Rec Centre and promises to be a very successful
event again.
It seems like a long time ago when the first dinner of this nature
was held at the Legion hall and about 250 attended. The crowds
have increased each year since the move was made to the Rec
Centre.
Most of the credit in establishing the dinners here belongs to the
late Don Taylor who put in a lot of effort with officials of the Lon-
don dinner which is held the night previous each year to get
speakers to stay in Western Ontario an extra day.
Althoughall proceeds from the local dinner go to support crippl-
ed children, local organizers can be commended in keeping ticket
prices down. With the London prices up to $60 for adults, the $35
charged here is very reasonable for a much similar slate of
speakers.
An added attraction here in Exeter is the excellent food .Just
ask Glenn Weir. Incidentally, the catering again this year is be-
ing handled by the Women's Institutes of Huron South,

period to fire four unanswered scores
and grab the 6-4 victory.
The fifth and eventual winning goal
came from the stick of Brian Mercer.
When the Tavistock goalie left the net
unattended while clearing the puck,
Mercer picked it up near the blue line
and had little trouble in backhanding
a shot into the open net at 16:55 of the
final period.
With less than two minutes remain-
ing,Cam Doig converted a pass from
Barry Baynham to ensure the Exeter
victory:
The only first period goal for the
Mohawks came from the stick of
Brian Mercer on a three-way passing
combination with Dave Kinsman and

provided by Cam Doig and Barry
