Junior 'D' roundup Hawks remain undefeated By Ray Lewis EXETER - The Exeter Hawks Western Junior D' hockey team had a great weekend, as they swept all four of their exhibition games. The Hawks defeated the Paris Mounties in a home and home se- ries, and also knocked off both the Seaforth Centennaires and the Goderich Junior 'C Sailors. "We did everything we had hoped to do on the weekend," said Exeter co -coach George Pratt Jr. "All of the rookies got into a game situation which gave us a little bet- ter idea of their talent" The Hawks hope to have their roster trimmed down by the end of this week as they enter their final exhibition games of the pre -season. Exeter 11- Paris 6 After thrashing Paris Mounties on Friday evening in Hensall, Exet- er travelled to Paris Monday eve -t ning for a return engagement. The= Hawks scored four goals in the first period, and never looked back in an 11-6 victory. Exeter scored twice more in the second before netmind- er Josh Symons finally gave up a goal, but the Mounties never recov- ered. Dan Ryan notched a hatrick for the locals while Paul Manders had a pair of goals and two assists. Also scoring for Exeter were Mark Reid, Jim Dickins, Nick Wieckow- ski, Mark Glavin, Shawn Chip - chase and Dave Dalrymple. Exeter 4 - Seaforth 3 In Seaforth Sunday, Exeter took on the Centennaires in a sluggish duel. "It wasn't a good game," said Pratt. "We should have been all over them but our passes weren't clicking." Doug Clark scored in the game's opening minute, sliding home a nice feed from Shawn Chipchase. Scott Schiedel then scored unassist- ed but Seaforthmanaged to trim the lead to one before the end of the pe- riod. In the second period, Clark notched his second of the night while on the powerplay, and after the Centennaires tied things up, Schiedel scored the game winner early in the third, again while Exet- er enjoyed a man advantage. Exeter 6 - Goderich 5 The Hawks travelled to Goderich Saturday night where they faced off against the Junior 'C' Sailors. The tough contest featured the return of a few more veterans in the likes of forward Mark Reid, defensemen John Bell and Larry Lewis along with netminder Clint McCann. Senior 'A' update Mohawks camp is filled with returnees LUCAN - With a sprinkling of newcomers, a fine mixture of re- turning vetaY is it -xi -some familiar faces, the Exeter Mohawks are gearing towards another successful Senior A hockey season. Sunday night, coach Dave Rev- ington and his assistant Al Gates put the Mohawks through their paces at the Lucan Community Centre in anticipation of Friday night's opening exhibition game. The Mohawks will take on the Strathroy Jets in Lucan at 8:30 p.m. A quick count, confirmed by Revington, reveals the Mohawks are expecting 23 of the 31 players they had a year ago. "That's a lot better than seven or eight guys returning; said Gates. This time last year, the Mohawks had question marks beside several players. Instead of questions in au year's training camp, _there seems to be answers. - On defence the loss of veteran Les Arts who has gone to Holland to play, will hurt, but the Mohawks are pleased with who they do have on the blueline. "With Chet Couture back full- time and Jeff Warren and Mark Soehner, they'll offset the loss,' said Revington. Warren played for the Mohawks two years ago and three seasons ago Soehner was the captain. Pete Jeffrey was Western's MVP last season and he will be a big addition on defence. Exeter has a lot of experience in goal with veteran Rick Pikul and Paul Woolford who filled in here and there last season is back. They'll be joined by Jeff Hill who comes from the Stratford Junior '8' Cullitons. Familiar faces Ron Elliot, Kris Bedard, Jeff MacLenaghan, Bariy Baynham, Dale Timmermans and Jeff Pfaff will be patroling the blue - line. "If the guys who are out stay with us, we should have more depth," said Revington. Up front Revington has got a long list of veterans which is head- ed by Dale Gibbon, Bill Glover, Jeff Shipley and Cord Brooks. Vying for a spot who have im- pressed the coaching staff are Rob Kingshott a leftwinger and Western grad, youngster Scou Pfaff who, with the New Hamburg Junior C team, was the league leading scorer and Craig Hoster who played in Scotland last winter. "I think well be strong at both ends of the rink," said Revington. While the Mohawks take on Strathroy on Friday, they face the - Jets on Saturday, Oct. 5 in Parkhill at 8 p.m. and the next night in Exet- er host Dorchester at 7:30 p.m. "It was really a rough one," sand Pratt of the game, which saw refer- ee Peter Chisholm hand out close to 100 minutes in penalties. Exeter came out on fire scoring three times in the fust period but al- lowed Goderich to tie the game and move ahead 4-3. The Hawks tied the game on a shorthanded goal by Shayne Robinson, and after again spotting the Sailors a one -goal lead, came back with two goals to win it. Ryan scored shorthanded with un- der six minutes remaining to give Exeter the victory. Singles for Exeter went to Steve Vandenberk, Wieckowski, Robin- son and Ryan while Bell scored two in his first game back. Exeter 14 - Paris 4 Doug Clark and Scott Schiedel both had a four -point game against Paris in Hensall Friday night, as the Hawks trounced the visiting Moun- ties 14-4. Clark notched a hatrick and added an assist while Schiedel had two goals and two assists. Paul Manders also collected a pair and singles went to Chad Ramer, Jamie Tomes, Dalrymple, Ryan, Robin- son, Ray Cousineau and Jim Ah- rens. I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SUPERMOBILE I was announced a few year ago by somebody or other. It had big wheels on the back and little wheels on the front, so it was going downhill all the time. Just picture the mileage! We`tried installing a couple of furnaces with wedges un- der the back corners, just to see how much difference it would make. It didn't seem to help the efficiency much, but it sure brought out the worst in people. I mean, it's not as though they fell over or anything. BAILEY'S OF HENSALL LTD.

The Irish travel to Thamesford to take on the team that beat them in the Ontario final a year ago and the Trojans pay a return visit to Lucan the following night. Lucan beat Ayr 7-2 on Friday night so they remain undefeated in pre -season play with a 2-0-1 record. Irish coach Ken Needham said DePrest, the team's leading scorer last year, will once again be counted on to carry a big offensive load. Against the Bulldogs, he not only had three goals but set up Brett Revington for the first goal. Chris Haskett, just 14 years old, scored the other goal for Lucan. Pre -season means mistakes and the Irish made a few of them and it was a couple of veteransh P e w o were having their problems back of the blueline. Kevin Leitch coughed up the puck in his own end and then took a penalty which resulted in a goal. Jon McEachern got into a tussle af- ter he fumbled with the puck be- hind his own net and he went to the box for seven minutes. The Bull- dogs took advantage and came back and tied the game 2-2. "They'll straighten up or they won't be here. We haven't talked to them, we just let them go," said Needham. There are at least a half a dozen spots open on the Irish roster and filling those couldmean tough de- cisions because several rookies have done well. Forward Jim Stanton is a tough player, Revington is aggressive go- ing to the net and Haskett, although just a first-year bantam, looks Protect your investment DAVE'S CAR OILING ... we use hot, acid free,— new ree,new oil CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS Drummond St. E., Blyth 523-4343 OPEN DAILY (Weather permitting) Ar good. Needham was making more cuts after Monday's practice. "Stanton is playing well and so are the young defencemen. Every - time you've got a kid you're going to cut, you have to look again," said Needham. With the loss of Todd Hayter and Jamie Pearce (graduation) and Tim Hayter who has opted not to return, the Irish will be looking for a tough guy. . "I don't know if we'll have any but Leitch and (Brad) Bowers will take that role. But they'll have to stay out of the box." In goal the Irish could be the strongest in the league once again as overager Bob Szabo suited up for the fust time on Saturday and made a couple of key saves. "(Dan) Jenken is supposed to be back playing on weekends. With Bobby I have to confirm he'll be here." Jenken is going to the University of Guelph and it was certain he would not be back for another year. "It was a big surprise, I'm very pleased," said Needam. Friday night in Lucan's win over Ayr, McEachern had two goals with singles from Kevin Leyton, Ja- , son Wilson, Mike VanSteensel, Jeff Stanton and Steve Matthews: Lucky charms: ...The Irish are in the midst of planning an exhibi- tion game between two former 1.u - can all -Ontario Junior 'D' champi- onship teams.
