Other teams in South Huron's divi- sion were Adam Scott ( Peter- borough), Bluevale (Waterloo), Eastdale (Oshawa), Gloucester, and Malvern (Toronto).

They won the game on a goal scored by Lisa Ellerington on the left wing. In the next two games, Panthers tied Bluevale and Eastdale 0-0. As the afternoon rains rolled in, the forward lines started to find their mark, winning their fourth and fifth games 2-0 against Gloucester and Malvern..

Mohawks travelled to Durham Fri- day night and pulled out a 7-4 win over the tough Durham Huskies to open the season. They were back in Exeter Sunday night where they romped over a pesky Tavistock Royals squad 9-2, giving local fans a taste of the com- ing season. Jim Guenther, Mohawks' head coach, was understandably pleased with his team's effort after Sunday's game. "I'm quite happy," he said. "The game started out a little slow I thought, but it picked up toward the end." "Over-all I thought the team played well tonight. I wouldn't say they played fantastic, but they played quite well." Guenther praised the line of Dale Gibbon, Brian Mercer and Al Gates which was responsible for four goals over the course of the evening, in- cluding the first three Mohawks goals of the game. "The name of that line was 'Charlie Hustle' tonight, and as a result, they got a couple of goals," Guenther said. Guenther said the lines at this point in the season are extremely flexible. He hopes the team will become the type of unit that can work with any combinationof players on the ice. "As they get to know each other, I can put out three guys and they're go- ing to be able to play together." Exeter 7 - Huskies 4 Huskies took the lead Friday night in Durham when Brent Hopkins scored during a power play five minutes into the first period, but Mohawks rebounded with three goals of their own and then refused to buckle under. "What proved out was the skating and the puck control and the shooting," Guenther said Sunday night. "They out -played us in the se- cond period of that game, but they never caught up to us." One minute after Huskies took the lead, a power play goal by Barry Baynham tied the game at one. Assists went to Kris Bedard and Ran- dy Kraul.

Above at the left, Tom McCann, of Big 0 and President of Minor Hockey, presents defenceman Mark Lomas and forward Chris Thompson with Juvenile home -game sweaters, which the two players are wearing. Far right, Frank Kints, part owner of Huron Produce presents Juveniles head coach John Campbell with away -game sweaters. Juveniles return to Exeter by Mark Bisset After serveral years absence in Exeter, a Juvenile hockey team will be iced this winter. Under the guidance of John Campbell, former coach of the Exeter Midget 13 team, the Juvenile squad will enter into a league made of roughly eight teams. Because Juvenile teams are rare in the area, the Exeter club will have,( travel long distances. Currently, Ridgetown, Mooretown, Petrolia, Thedford, Glencoe, Mount Brydges and Port Stanley along with Exeter make up the body of the league. ''We'd by playing a home and home series with Ridgetown, Mor- retown, Petrolia and Glencoe and then maybe a double home and home with Port Stanley," Camp- bell said. "itidependson what the rest feel like -- what they want to do." The Juvenile coach expects to have a schedule of 30 to 40 games this season, including exhibitibn games and tournaments. There are Juvenile tounaments scheduled in Wassaga Beach. • Meaford, Walkerton, Strathroy and Milverton at this point in the year. Campbell said that the team has, three Junior D Hawks signed on Juvenile cards along with eight or nine players he has coached in Midget -B over the last three years. "These guys -- I had them for three years and they are looking for somewhere else to play and they wanted to play body contact." Campbell explained. "They didn't want to play Rec League." "I sort of hand-picked this team. I got on the phone and called players i wanted." Campbell said the survival of the team depends on the quality of hockey that is played. "IF we can keep it a decent ' league without too many penalties and that, maybe it will get going again, Campbell said. "if we can keep the rough style of play out of it, then we'll get more centres interested." "Goonism", as Campbell describes the dirty style of hockey ` that developed on previous Juvenile hockey teams, was a ma- jor factor in the demise of the divi- sion in the ea .ly 80's in Exeter. Ile - hopes to avoid that problem with the new Juvenile team, noting that many of fhb "goons" have now moved on to make way for a new crop of Juvenile players. 'A lot of it was just goon hockey (in the past) and a lot of towns didn't want to participate in it," -olaumsemmiime Campbell said. "Like I told the kids -- you keep it clean. we can play Midget teams and we won't have to travel so far." Campbell noted that it is the coach's responsibility to make sure the players behave themselves on the ice. "It's up to the coaches, it's not the kids. If you let the kids do what they want. well naturally they're going to do that sort of thing. Campbell doesn't expect pro- blems when it comes to ice -time for the team. Juveniles will play Sunday afternoons from 12-2 p.m., a time which is compatible to that age group. He points out that players that age aren't interested in playing hockey at 10 o'clock on a Saturday night. . The team will practice Tuesday nights with the Midget 13 team. The Arrangement has its benefits for the Juvenile mluad. The tur- nout at practice, usually around 20 players, is always big enough to conduct a full session. "And it's good for the Midgets too," Campbell said, indicating that the Juveniles provide a challenge for the Midgets. "Some of these guys (Juveniles)'are a lit- tle stronger and a little bigger. I think it'll work out tine." i M
