Mohawks planning for season in new senior league
"You don't get older, just get better."
That is a saying that applies to a lot of situations, but is certain-
ly the case for the 198647 edition of the Exeter Mohawks senior
hockey team.
That's right, we did say senior hockey. Manager Doc Camp-
bell and publicity chairman John Pryde dropped in for a visit Fri-
day afternoon and the big news was the OHA has dropped the in-
termediate hockey and the Mohawks will be moving up to the
senior "B" category.
That may not sound so exciting, but the possibilities it provides
are. The winner of this coming season's Senior "B" championship
will have a shot at the "A" champs with that winner going on to
play for the Hardy Cup.
Before anyone says we are putting the cart before the horse,
just remember the Mohawks were only one game away from win-
ning the intermediate "B" crown last year.
According to our Friday visitors this year's club, will be
stronger than ever with some new prospects close to the signing
stage. In the 1985-86 season, the Mohawks won the league cham-
pionship and an open tournament in Palmerston.
Pryde commented, "Now we will be able to compete at the
national level. Everyone connected with our team is excited. We
are also beefing up at the executive level with three new directors."
The new directors are Don Keeping, Don Lewis and Stu Taylor.
Returning are president Gabby Mol, vice-president Bob Rowe,
manager Doc Campbell and coach Jack Chipchase.
Not returning to the Mohawks roster this year are Jim Guen-
ther, Louie Arts and Dale Gibbon. Pryde, Campbell and Chipchase
have been out 'beating the bushes' for new prospects and say they
are close to signing at least three players of high calibre.
The first practice session has been called for Sunday,
September 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Hensall arena.
The first game of a 30 game regular league schedule will send
the Mohawks to Hillsburgh on October 17. The first home contest
at the South Huron Rec Centre will be Sunday night, October 19
with Tavistock supplying the opposition.
The Mohawks will be playing in the OHA senior "B" league

against Tavistock, New Hamburg, Marriston, Hillsburgh, Elora
and Palmerston. Arthur, the eighth team in the league last year
is reverting back to the WOAA.
While the Mohawks executive is excited about the coming
season, a much improved year also appears in store for the Ex-
eter junior Hawks.
A total of 50 prospects attended the Hawks first workout Sun-
day night and about 10 more are expected to take in Tuesday and
Wednesday practices this week at the Lucan arena.
Coach Dave Bogart received phone calls from 10 prospects who
couldn't make the first workout, but, would be appearing this week.
After the first training session, Hawks president Ron Bogart
said, "It looks like a very promising season. We have some ex-
cellent prospects trying out."
Close, but no cigar
Pitching a no-hitter in major league baseball could be com-
pared to a hole -in -one on the golf course. Neither one happens too
often.
Many potential no-hitters are spoiled in the ninth inning or.
sometimes with the pitching needing only one more out to make.
the headlines.
That was the case Wednesday night in Detroit when Walt Ter-
' rell was only, one out away from gaining no -hit distinction until
rookie Wally Joiner of the Angels rapped a sharp double down the
right field line.
We had the pleasure of being at the game in question and
seated down the right field line close to where Joyner's double was
hit. It was probably six or eight feet in fair territory_
To start the ninth inning everyone of the 2,755 fans in atten-
dance were on their feets and the roaring became quite loud as
the first two batters Gary Pettis and Jack Howell flied out. The
big hush came as Joyner connected on the first pitch and Terrell's
chances for fame were over. The next batter Reggie Jackson flied
to centre field to end the game.
It was Jackson who was the only Angel to come close to en-
dangering the no-hitter earlier in the game. With two out in the
second he sent a screaming low liner toward right field, but Tiger
second baseman Tom Brookens took one quick step to his left and
snared the ball. The balance of the putouts were of the very routine
nature and included three strikeouts.
