That's the day area public school students have a day off from regular classes while their teachers participate in a Professional Development Day. Due to the large attendance the numerous free skating ses- sions have been getting, Lynne is going to try something -different. The first session of one hour starting at 1 p.m. will be restricted to youngsters seven years of age or under or inexperienced older skaters. Those students eight years of age and older or experienced skaters will share the ice surface from 2 to 3 p.m. The concession booth will be open during both skating sessions. That will be good news for the youngsters. Skating helps their appetites. Lynne also reminds us that ice is available to rent on PD days for $25 per hour. Any interested -persons can call 235-2833. The PD days skating and free Sunday skating sessions are sponsored by a nun, )or of Exeter and area service clubs and organizations. Regular free skating sessions are held each Sunday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m., except when hockey tournaments are held dur- ing the usual skating times. The groups which have made donations this year to be applied to free skating are the Exeter Lions, Lioness club, R.E. Pooley branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Legion Auxiliary, Ex - Business Improvement Association. • The other free skating sessions are each Tuesday and Thurs- day from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 2 p.m. These are sponsored by the Rec centre and include parents and tots and seniors. The Rec Centre auditorium is also a busy spot each Tuesday, Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. That's when the shuf- fleboard enthusiasts are out in full force and they do have a lot of fun and get some exercise, mostly in their vocal chords. The Kernel is back It was good to see John Kernick back at the South Huron Rec Centre Sunday night, although it was not in his usual position. John, better known as the Kernel had his hockey playing days for probably most of this winter cut short a few weeks ago when he was seriously injured in a farming accident. He was able to make it to the press box on crutches Sunday night. . Hat night successful Junior `B' circles, John was being counted on to be a very valuable member of the senior `B' Exeter Mohawks. In the few games was able to play before the accident it was evident he was going to be able to fill -the role expected of him. Sunday night it was really hats off to the staunch Mohawk fans. Thanks to the generosity of the number of Exeter and area businesses and merchants most of the fans in attendance were given a hat. Different standings If any fans of The National Hockey League happening to be out of the country for a year or so would hardly believe their eyes when they look at the current standings in the Norris Division. The Toronto Maple Leafs are in first place with 17 points. After the way they performed in the playoffs last spring, that isn't too surprising, but, the Detroit Red Wings are the real eye opener. Plagued by coaching problems for a number of years, Jacques Demers appears to be the saviour in the Motor City. He had the reputation in St.Louis of stressing defensive play. To say he has carried that philosophy to Detroit is an understatement. At the time of writing the Red Wings are in se- cond place only two points back of the Leafs. That's- not as unbelievable as the goals against mark of the team. In their first 14 games, the Wings have allowed only 38 goals. They have only scored one more goal at 39, but have seven wins " and a tie. One can say that's playing things close to the vest. Mohawks win two to take over second place '1'he "Exeter - Mohawks won two games in the Ontario Hockey Associa- tion Senior •B' Central Division to move into a second place tie with the Elora Rocks. The Tavistock Royals are in first place with an unbeaten record. Saturday night in Palmerston the Mohawks came away with a 6-4 vic- tory and on home ice Sunday night they overcame a first period deficit to down the Ifillsburgh Royals 6-4. This week the Mohawks will be at • home at the South Huron Rec Centre at 8:30 p.m. Saturday to meet the Harriston Blues and Sunday after- noon they visit New Hamburg. In Palmerston Saturday. both teams went with only 12 skaters. The Mohawks actually settled the decision with four goals in the second period to only one for the oppositon after the first stanza was scoreless.
