Unfortunately it was in one of their most important games so far. It was the opening game in the best -of -three Hardy Cup Playdowns against the Durham Huskies, who won the contest 8-4. If the Mohawks lose the second game of the series Thursday night m Durham, they will not be play- ing hockey in May this year, like they did last year. "We didn't come to play tonight and that is all there is to it. Our most _important game of the year and we didn't come to play," said a bewildered Mohawk coach Gord Brooks after the game. "We came out flat from the start and let them free -wheel in our building and it is going to get a tot tougher we we go back up there to their building. We looked like the visiting team out there on the ice tonight. "If we don't go up to Durham and play the body and get physical with them we might as well mail the two points and not even show up. They are a free -wheeling club and for us to stay with them we have to play the body, which is what we intended to do tonight, but never got the chance." said Brooks. The Huskies held the Mohawks to just 17 shots on goal in the game and Brooks said any team that holds the Mohawks to 17 shots deserves to win. The Huskies fired 23 shots at Rick Pikul in the Exeter net. The Mohawks got behind the eight ball right from the start. Brad Law opened the scoring for Durham 33 seconds into the con- test and they pumped home another at 4:23 while on the power -play. The Mohawks started clawing back at 9:57 of the first when Jeff Shipley got the locals on the board from John Kemick and Joe Scher- er. Exeter's Kris Bedard got them back on even terms at 18:50 with a goal from Mark Soehner and Wayne Urbshott. The Mohawks took a 3-2 lead at 1:06 of the second, when Scherer scored from Shipley and Kemick. The Huskies got that back less than a minute later. Randy Kraut, last year's Mohawk captain who recently signed to play with his- old mates this year, put the Mohawks back out in front at 3:03, from Quincy Wilker and Paul Barton. But from then on it was all Dur- ham. They tied the game at 5:41 of the second and took the lead for good less than a minute later. Dur- ham added goals at 14:17 of the sec- ond, 3:45 and 11:50 of the third. The second game in the best -of - three series will be played Thursday night in Durham and if the Mo- hawks win that game, the deciding game will go Saturday night at the Rec Centre at 9 D.M. Hawks continue domination over Mitchell EXETER - The Exeter Hawks' domination over the Mitchell Hawks continued'on Friday night at the Rec Centre, when the local Hawks came through with a 5-3 win over the visiting Hawks. Exeter has played Mitchell five times this year and have beaten their namesakes four times and one game ended in a draw. The Hawks looked like they were going to blow the Wellesley Ap- plejacks away in their game last Tuesday night at the South Huron Rec Centre, but Wellesley decided to make a game of it but fell two goals short 7-5. . The Hawks had the majority of the play in the first period, despite losing starting goalie, Todd Camp- bell, ampbell, after taking a shot off the mask, left with a cut on the fore- head and a bump on the head, just five minutes into the contest. Brent McDonald, just called up from the Kinsmen General Midgets, com- pleted the game between the pipes replacing Campbell. Jim Lewis scored the only two goals of the first period, one from Steve Dubarry and Frank Wulterk- ens and one from Joel Campbell and Jeff Ansems. Doug Clark gave the locals a 3-0 lead with a goal from Jim Lewis and Dubarry at 3:18 of the second. But then the Applejacks came to life. Wellesley got on the board at 5:44 of the second. It was a goal that McDonald had no chance to stop. The Applejacks then started to carry more of the play to the Hawks, but Exeter got a break at 7:32 when Derek Shackleton slipped one past Wellesley goalie Jeff Gerber, from Jim Dickins and Jean Paul Cousineau, to make it a 4-1 game. But Wellesley scored the next two goals to come back to within a goal, with half the game yet to be played. The Hawks rebounded to score the next two goals to take a 6-3 lead into the second intermission, by Dubarry from Jim Lewis at 12:15 and Ansems from Dubarry with less than a minute to play in the second. The Hawks were out - shot 13-6 in the second, but made good use of their shots, scoring four times. . The Hawks took a 7-3 on Dan Naim's goal from Mark Morrissey and Ansems at 13:30 of the third. The Applejacks scored two more goals later in the period but the Hawks hung on for the win. Friday night, Exeter got a two - goal performance from Jim Dick- ins, while Jeff Ansems, Doug Clarke and Jim Lewis scored one goal each. Larry Lewis picked up a pair of assists, and singles went to Jean Paul Cousineau, Jim Lewis, An- sems and Steve Dubarry. Mitchell's goals came once in each of the periods. With the pair of wins, the Hawks now have 30 points, good for fourth place in the league, but only two points behind second -place Brussels Bulls. Next game for the Hawks is Fi:- day night when the Seaforth Cente- naires are at the SHRC for an 8:30 contest. Saturday the Hawks travel to Wellesley for another 8:30 p.m. game against the Applejacks. Sun- day afternoon the Hawks are in Brussels for a 2 p.m. matinee.
