Area hockey
1-i,:re we are back after a week's absence due to a five day stay
in South Huron Hospital.
Since returninghome we caught up on a lot of sporting events
on television especially the Tournament of Hearts ladies curling
from the Thompson Arena in London.
It was interesting to hear that husbands of two of the Team
Canada players were on a mixed championship team with two
ladies, not their wives.
That brought back a recent conversation at the Exeter curling
club when it was said it's better not to curl with spouses. To this
we added, "or go on a car rally."
Getting back to our hospital stay, we appreciated the excellent
care we received. If the nurses want to form a curling rink we will
assist in arranging for some of the necessary equipment.
Playoffs Galore
It's hockey playoff time throughout Ontario and this area is no
exception.
The Exeter Mohawks wasted little time in disposing of Hillsburg
in the first round of OHA Intermediate "C" playoffs and now are
awaiting the winner of the Elora -New Hamburg series.
Regardless of the league final opposition, area fans can be
assured of an excellent brand of hockey. The toughest opposition
playoffsprovide exciting action
would come from Elora. That's the only team the Mohawks were
not able to beat in regular scheduled play.
On the other hand, the New Hamburg club has improved con-
siderably and will also be a formidable foe.

full with the Mount Brydges Bulldogs. The seventh and deciding
game of their semi-final series was played last night Tuesday in
Lucan.
The Exeter pee wees have reached the Shamrock league finals
and will be in Lucan March 23 for a sudden -death game against
Belmont or Strathroy for the league championship.
Great Trip Coming Up
Members of the Zurich Has Beans oldtimers hockey team are
in for a trip of a lifetime. They are leaving March 14 for a nine
day stay in Switzerland.
The Has Beans along with three other Canadian teams will be
competing in an International oldtimers tournament in Zurich,
Switzerland.
One of the organizers Bob Brown told us Sunday .that the trip
has been in the planning stages for a year and a half. The team
has been in existence for seven years and Brown said the team
felt the time was right for a big trip.
In addition to the tournament, the Has Beans will be attending
a reception thrown by the mayor of the Switzerland city and a ou-
ple of the Zurich players will be joining players from Peterborough,
. Montreal and Three Rivers in meeting a Swiss all star team in an
exhibition game.
The Zurich contingent is expected to include 15 players, spouses
and interested spectators for a total of 50.
Only four of the team's regular members are not making the trip.
Unable to go are the two goalies George Robinson and Joe Arnold.
They are being replaced by Bill Merrier who was the star Zurich
goalie away back when this writer guarded the nets for Dashwood
and Dennis Amacher.
Best of luck to the Has Beans and we know they will be excellent
ambassadors of our country and will perform well on the ice.
Mohawks oust Royals, advance to league finals
The Exeter Mohawks have advanc-
ed to the final of the Central In-
termediate "C" league, but won't
know until this weekend whom they
will be playing.
The locals ousted Hillsburgh three
straight in their semi-final, while
Elora and New Hamburg are tied 2-2
in their semi-final and the outcome
won't be decided until at least Friday.
After winning convincingly at home
in the series opener and then squeak-
ing out a one -goal win in Hillsburgh,
the Mohawks figured to have an easy
time disposing of the Royals in game
three in Exeter, Sunday.
However, the Royals showed no
sings of giving up and extended the
Tribe into overtime before Exeter
scored three times to post an 8-5 win.
There was never more than a goal
difference in the final and the
Mohawks trailed by one early in the
third.
Cam Doig started the Mohawks off
on the right foot when he scored on
one of the most exciting plays in

the shot after Hillsburgh goalie Brad
Miller threw his stick at a puck.
Hillsburgh evened things on a
powerplay in the first minute of the
second and the teams traded two
more tallies in the middle period to
leave with a 3-3 count.
Hillsburgh again scored early in the
third on a powerplay to take a lead
and they held one again for 23 seconds
before Exeter sent the game into
overtime with their fifth goal at the
6:51 mark.
Brian Horner scored the eventual
winner on a play with Brian Mercer
and Jim Guenther at the 1:59 mark of
the extra session and the Tribe add-

in addition to Horner were Bill Glover
and Dale Gibbon.
Doig added two assists along with
Mike Clark, Kris Bedard, and Glover,
while helping out on single tallies
were Mercer, Guenther, Barry

stopped 46.
Both teams sat,put six penalties, in-
cluding a spearing major to Bryan

the first period. Both scored three
times with the man advantages,
Hold off rally
In Hillsburgh, Saturday, Exeter
played some strong netminding by
Louis Arts in the final two periods to
eke out a 4-3 victory over the hosts.
Arts was particularly strong in the
middle frame when he kicked out 20
shots and again in the final minutes
of the third when Hillsburgh attemp-
ted a late rally to knot the count.
Pete Tuckey put Exeter on the
scoreboard first with a powerplay ef-
fort with Ron Elliott and Doug Latta
providing the assists.
Hillsburgh knotted the count late in
the first stanza and the Mohawks
again took a one -goal lead early in the
second when Elliott found the mark
on a play with Latta and Cam Doig.
Once again, the hosts evened things
before the rest period at the end of the
second, but the third was less than
two minutes old when Tuckey came
back for his second of the night with
Latta drawing his third assist.
Doig took a pass from Bill Glover
to give the Tribe a 4-2 margin at the
7:17 mark and Hillsburgh netted their
final tally five minutes later when
Glenn Murray notched his second of
the night. But then Arts and the

Win in the second
In the series opened in Exeter, Fri-
day, the Mohawks came out flying in
the second period and took advantage
of a slow Hillsburgh defence and
some shoddy netminding to net seven
goals enroute to a convincing 10-3
triumph.
Bill Glover started the locals off
with a 1-0 first period lead and was on
the sheet again after only 21 seconds
of play in the middle frame to start
the onslaught. Pete Tuckey then con-
