That was the prediction made on Friday by team president Ron Bogart, who chaired the annual awards' night banquet at the South Huron rec centre. "If the improvement over last year is continued, it can be accomplished," he went on after noting that this year's team put some pride back in junior hockey in Exeter after a dismal showing in the 1985-86 season., He suggested the Hawks should be honored for their effort and said it was also a credit to the coaches and manager. "The fear we once put in other teams will be back," he said in cone sion. - Coach Dave Bogor said-he_was looking forward to coming back next season and while the three over -age players will be sorely missed, he challenged others to move in and do their part in taking over the leadership. Graduating from this year's team through age are captain DaVe Cassone, Dale Timmermans and Steve Batten. Comments made by the coach as he introduced all members individually indicated there will also be some other holes to fill. In reference to two midget -aged players, Jon O'Connor and Jeff Dalrymple, he said he didn't expect either of them back. He wished O'Connor well in- his future endeavours after noting the ctiapces- of one of the teams top scorers com- ing back was slim to nil. • Dalrymple, who was selected as this year's best defenceman on the team, has been rated in this year's draft by the OHA central scouting for midgets eligible for junior "A" play. "If he comes back he'll deserve a kick in the pants," the coach suggested, adding that he hoped the local product would be playing elsewhere in higher classification. Dean Schram and Sean Whiteford are also doubtful for next year's squad as the former is planning to head for Toronto to further his educa- tion and Whiteford is off to a com- munity college in Lindsay. Scott Lovie is also heading away for educa- tion although Bogart said he hoped the latter would not be too far away and would at least be available for weekend games. . • Timmermans and George Pratt were the only double award winners at this year's banquet. The latter won the team's scoring leadership trophy and was also named most valuable during the season. "You really don't know wha George does until you look at the scoresheet," the coach commented, explaining that the forward hadn't looked too impressive in a 7-6 playoff win over Seaforth, but he had actual- ly scored two goals and added five assists. Timmermans, who was lured back to Exeter after playing for Thedford, IRONWOOD LADIES At the Ironwood Golf Club Monday night 54 ladies teed off and enjoyed a pot luck supper for the opening night of the Ironwood ladies golf club.
