Joe Scl. firer was again the marksman for New Hamburg. The Mohawks scoring was com- pleted in the third period as Bill Glover cashed in a pass from Ron Elliott and Barry Baynham scored on passes from Bryan Baker and Pete Tuckey. • The final score for New Hamburg came from you guessed it. Joe Scherer to complete his hat trick for the night. The Exeter Mohawks will have more than &week to wait until their Ontario Hockey Association Central Senior 'B' finals get underway. The Mohawks disposed of the New Hamburg Towers in quick fashion in one semi-final round with a 7-3 victory Wednesdasy night to sweep the best - of -seven series in four straight games. In the other round, Tavistock and Hillsburgh are tied at a game apiece in a beshof-five set. If one of the two clubs win the next two games the finals against the Mohawks would start Sunday night at the South Huron Rec Centre. If a fifth game is necessary it would go Saturday night in Tavistock thus delaying the start of the finals until the following week. The extra time will be beneficial to the Mohawks as far as their list of in- jured players is concerned. Brian Mercer and Rick Hart could be back within a week or so.

As the flames of the torch died down she spoke these words: "these are the times to remember; as fleeting as they appear, they are among the best moments of our lives."

They patrolled the dorm -areas twenty four hours a day and checked our rooms once every hour throughout the `nights. R.C.M.P. and armed forces personnel weresta- tioned outside to control traffic enter- ing and leaving the village area, Another highlight of village life was the frenzied trading, of provincial team pins among athletes. A "top ten" pin list was published every day as people bartered for the "good trade." I know of one exchange in which $200.00 was given for an especially hard to find Games pin. It was a wonderful way to strike up a Shamrock title conversation and to begin to make new friends from all over Canada. And what of the Cape Bretoners themselves? There is a song which says of them, "We are a people as proud as there's been." They have every right to be- proud of the show they put on in February 1987. In a ci- ty with a population of some 28,000, 6,000 worked as Games Volunteers. The entire city -had spent four years preparing for these two weeks. Stores. factories, businesses all had welcome signs in front of their establishments, many acted as Games sponsors. all the schools clos- ed down for a two week break and everyone made us feer so very welcome. When we hitch -hiked into the city dressed in our uniforms, drivers would stop to pick us up and then go out of their way to see that we arriv- ed safely at our destination. •One woman we met at the gymnastics competition suggested that if we wanted to see the downtown area. we should come to the store where she worked. She gave us directions and the next day we took up her offer. Upon arriving at the store she said "Wait 'til I get my coat." and then proceeded to escort us from store to store, introducing us to various shopkeepers and advising us to what we should see next. Where else would these Games and once we received our official Ontario uniforms, the an- - ticipation was high. _ Dressed in our red jackets we met at Pearson International Airport for the flight to Sydney. Upon arrival there. we were "herded" through an accreditation process to receive an I.D. card which served as a meal ticket and entry pass .to virtually everything all week long. We all also were given a sleeping bag to use dur- ing our stay. ('arrying our equipment. we followed a hostess who escorted us to our home away from home. one of the buildings at the University Cape Breton. So far. the entire experience resembled army boot camp! Our bedroom was a converted classroom containing fourteen hunk beds. A washroom was located at the end of a long hall and we all received a locker for valuables. We ate our meals in the college cafeteria where there was ample choice of nutritious food. One cafeteria worker told me with obvious pride that even during peak hours the average athlete had to spend only forty five seconds in the line. Early Sunday morning we were bused to a high school gymnasium where the-badminton-competition---one-receive that -kind -of hospitality? would take place. We practised on the courts to make ourselves familiar with the new surroundings. For the next five days we played against other provinces in our divi- sion and defeated in turn New Brunswick. Nova Scotia. New- foundland. and Alberta. That put us in a semi-final against British Colum- bia. the second placed finisher in the other division. A win here put us in the final Friday evening against Quebec. a strong rival of Ontario at the • Games. What pressure we felt! Although the final score was seven Generals win that he will know this week whether his club will receive any special assistance from the OHA to replace goal tender Louis Arts who is out for the season. Dave Rook of the junior llawks was the backup goalie in Wednesday's game in New Hamburg. Mohawks score evenly In New Hamburg Wednesday the Mohawks put together a solid team ef- fort with two goals in each period to ensure their advancement to the league finals. The Towers started out quickly with a goal from the stick of Joe Scherer before one minute had elapsed. The Mohawks cam a back with two scores in a span of two_ minutes just past the midway mark as Pete Tuckey hit on a power play on passes from Bryan Baker and Ron Elliott and Norm Campbell converted a pass from Al Gates. In .the middle frame. the Exeter club again doubled the score on the Towers. Hitting the opposition net were Scott Eccles on an unassisted ef- fort and captain Randy Kraut on a Exeter Kinsmen Generals won the `B' championship in the -Shamrock-= - Midget tournament Saturday defeating Thamesford 4-2 and Bel- mont 6-0,inDorchester.
