Hockey season is here, the socks are back
It became clear to me on the weekend that it is time to put
on my -socks. I usually get rid of them- in early May (sometimes
April if it has been a tough winter). Itis one of the personal rituals
in my life, left over from the days when I refused to acknowledge
the passage of time. by wearing a watch, when I never shaved
,before a game or an exam and when I made a point of coming into
class three minutes after the final bell.
On Sunday I took in my first hockey game of the season. I made
sure to bundle up with sweatshirts, sweaters and a jacket, but with
the sun shining gloriously on my ankles, I forgot socks.
My feet froze and I realized that, for me at least, the summer
is over.
For those of you who are wondering what all this has to do with
the price of ice-cream in the Himalayas, it's just a way of jump-
ing -- feet firbt, as it were -- into the hockey season.
The game I saw Sunday was an exhibition match between
Lucan Dish and Exeter Hawks. Like most exhibition games, those
who hoped to make a drat tor themselves in the line-up spent most
of their time flexing their muscles in the corners, trying to impress.
the coaches with right hooks -and upper -cuts. In between fights,
players on both teams showed some real talent. promising the fans
in their respective arenas entertaining seasons.
In the OHA Central Senior B league, Exeter Mohawks are get-
ting ready to launch season number three which promises to be
the toughest yet.

Another factor in the league this season will be a zone re-
alignment which will allow Tavistock to draw players out of
Waterloo County.
Mohawks manager Doc Campbell expects the team to lose as
many as six players this season. He hopes to Bolster the team's
defensive squad with a few talented new -comers.
The seniors will also be helped by the talents of former St.
Marys Lincoln Jeff Shipley, who captained his team through a suc:
cessful season last year.
'Mohawks assistant manager John Pryde made it clear Sun-
day that the team's near future is bright.
"We expect to be right in the thick of things," he said.
Juveniles a sign of health
It's probably safe to say that Exeter minor hockey is in good
shape. The latest sign -post of success for the EMHA is the crea-
tion of a Juvenile team. The team's existence, along with that of
two Midget teams, is an indication that the EMHA executive is do-
ing its job. Kids are staying in hockey and obviously enjoying it.
The group hopes to get things under way next Monday and they
are looking for bodies. If you are interested and were born in
1967-68, contact Tom McCann.
This is the best time of year to golf!
Our course has never been in better condi-
tion. Come out and enjoy the fall colours.
