The Mohawks came into the game leading the league with nine straight wins, most by blowouts, but knew they were in for a tough battle with the Hornets, last year's Senior A league champions. The Mohawks built a 4-0 lead in the second period but had to survive a furious Aylmer comeback and hung on fop the win for the 4-3 win in front of the largest crowd of the year. Last Wednesday night the Mo- hawks won their ninth -straight game defeating the Chatham Varco Maroons 9-2, in Chatham. "We knew we were two pretty evenly -matched teams and we knew dam well they bad a. good team. We watched them play against Dunnville last Tuesday and knew they would give us a tough time. r We got what we expected from them," said Mohawk coach .Dave Revington. It was the most physical game the Mohawks had been in as well and it showed in the Mohawks' injury re- port after the game. Right winger 'Dave Randerson left the game in third period after referee Rick Sin- gleton skated over his elbow after Randerson was dumped to the ice by a Hornet player. Randerson re- ceived six stitches in his elbow to repair the damage Jeff McClenaghan also left the game with a tender shoulder after taking a hard hit from an Aylmer player and Jeff Scherer also hurt his shoulder and Jack Thornton re- ceived a cut lip on another play. All are expected back in the line- up for their next game Sunday night. The Mohawks came out flying Sunday night, scoring three times in the first period, taking the play to Aylmer for most of the period. Gord Brooks opened the scoring just 51 seconds into the game when he scored from Bill Glover. Randerson took a nice pass from Les Arts and beat Aylmer goalie Gilles Lavziere with a slap shot at 17:57 of the first. Breaking through - Greg Deprest, centre. and Jamie Tomes, of the Hawks, during Irish beat the Hawks 7.3. of the Lucan Irish fights his way free of David Dalrymple, left their game Friday night at the South Huron Rec Centre. The (;lover scored on a rebound of a Brook's shot 15 seconds later to give the Mohawks a three -goal cushion heading to the first inter- mission. Greg Snyder also drew an assist on the play. The Mohawks took a 4-0 lead when Ron Elliot's shot from the point was misplayed by Lavziere at 8:38 of the second. McClenaghan and Brooks drew the assists. The Hornets finally got on the board mid -way in the second when the Mohawks stopped skating, which allowed the Hornets to take over most of the territorial play. Mike Haines' shot got past Exeter goalie Bill Dark with Dennis He- bert and John Osborne picked up the assists. The Hornets then cut the lead in half when Bob Hunter scored from Rob Goutis and John Osborne at 13:35 of the second. Peter McMenemy' shorthanded goal with less than. seven minutes left made for an interesting finish and cut the Exeter lead to a goal. The Hornets pulled Lavziere in the final minute to try and the tying goal but the Mohawks were able to hang on for the win. Dark stopped 23 of 26 shots and played well for Exeter but mis- played two shots that let Aylmer back into the game. The Mohawks fired 21 at the Aylmer netminder. Exeter 9 Chatham 2 The Mohawks outscored the Ma- roons 4-2 in the first period, 2-0 m the second and 3-0 in the third and cruised to another easy victory. Quincy Wilker led the way with a hat trick, Al Gates chipped in with a pair, while singles went to Joe Scherer, Paul Barton, Barry Bayn- ham and Greg Snyder. o Randerson, Scherer, Barton and Jack Thornton each had a pair of assists and one each was recorded by Dale Gibbon, Les Arts, Jeff Carr and Snyder. The Mohawks are idle until Sun- day night when the second -place Dunnville Mudcats make their first appearance of the season at the South Huron Rec Centre at 7:30 p.m. This should be another tough test for the high -scoring Mohawks, be- cause the Mudcats currently pos- sess the stingiest defence in the league, allowing just 22 goals so far in the nine games they have played. Next Thursday, November 30, the Mohawks will make their first trip to Dunnville. Irish end Hawks streak EXETER - Four goals in the first seven and a half minutes of play powered. the Lucan Irish, to a 7-3 win over the Exeter Hawks at the South Huron Rec Centre v:riday night. The loss was the first for 'the Hawks in five games, while the Irish have yet to lose this year in 11 games. Hawks' coach Jack Nairn felt get- ting off to the slow start .was the key to the game. "They just came out flying and we stood around and • watched. I think we outplayed them over the last two periods, but we can't ex- pect, to play two periods against a team like this and expect to win. They are a first -place team and de- serve full marks for their win" said Nairn. , Last Tuesday the Hawks blew a 4-1 third -period lead against the Seaforth Centenaires and had to settle for 4-4 tie. The in uries on the Hawks are starting mount as well. Derek Shackleton and Jim Dickins were both sidelined with injuries from earlier games. Centre Harlen Tin- ney missed Friday's game' with a separated shoulder which he re- ceived in the game against Sea - forth. Shackleton will be gone for about another month with a broken hand and finger, while Dickins will be out indefinitely after having his spleen removed two weeks ago af- ter it ruptured during a game in Seaforth. Greg Deprest had two of the first four goals for the Irish Friday night, with Darren Neil and Rick Weishar getting the others. Weish- ar's came with just 46 seconds gone in the game. Deprest completed his hat trick in the third period but Lucan also got a goal from Tim Hayter and an- other by Neil later in the game. • Andy Ross. led in the assist de- partment with four, two each went to Jamie Pearce, Deprest and Neil, while Tim Hayter, and Ed Van Ker- kle had one each. Scoring for the Hawks were; Jean Paul Cousineau, from Larry Lewis and Mark Reid, Doug Clark from David Dalrymple and Jeff Chip - chase and Jesse Henderson from Lewis and Clark.
