Campbell said his friend in Brantford who was trying out for the team and asked hien if he also wanted to try out. Campbell easi- ly made the team, made-up of 13, 14 and 15 year-olds from Ontario and Quebec. The team was called the Coca Cola Kids and was spon- sored by a Coke Company from New York State. He played- against other teams from Lac Ste. Louis Quebec, Hal- ifax, Oshawa and Ottawa. The Exeter Public School, grade eight student picked up 11 goals and 15 assists in just five games, . while his line from Ontario domi- nated play in the tournament. The team 'also went on to win the tournament, despite having very little time to get acquainted with one another. Campbell re- ceived a trophy and a banner for being on the winning team. "We had only one practice on the Thursday afternoon and played our first game Thursday night so we really had'to get to know each Tomorrow' other in a hurry," said Campbell. He added the level of competi- tion in the tournament was very good, which brought some scouts out to watch, looking for prospec- tive talent. Campbell, who played for the Hawks last season, said he may also be invited to another tourna- ment, an international tournament, in Boston, in the very near future. Campbell, who at 13 was one of the youngest ever to play Junior D hockey in Exeter last year, said he • found junior • hockey a little bit faster and rougher than what he was used to. 1 -le still managed to score eight goals and added 16 as- sists in 36 games during the regu- lar season for the Hawks. He said he went to the Hawk's training camp trying to gain some experience and never expected to make the team, and was overjoyed when he eventually did. If Camp- bell had played minor last year he would have only been in the Pee Wee Division. He said he would like to attend the St: Marys Lincoln's Jr. B training camp in thefall and see how long he can stay there. He said he would also entertain an of- fer to play for the Hawks again, if possible, because he is expecting the team to have a good season.
