Although general manager -coach George Pratt has sent out nearly 100 letters to perspective players, there were only about 40, including five goalies who showed up for the first night "It seems to be a trend. The first couple of [tights are the worst," said Pratt who was the club's assist- ant coach last year. However, he says once the train- ing camp is underway, more and more players will be attending. This is the time of year when hope- fuls tryout with Junior 'B' clubs be- fore returning to their home town. The past several years has seen Exeter put a very competitive club on the ice and this year will be no exception. "I'm looking for hard workers; smart hockey players... The Hawks were on the ice again Friday and returned on Tuesday with another workout scheduled for tomorrow night before they travel to Mitchell on Friday for their first pre -season contest. The opening workouts left the players tired as they concentrated on skating. Veteran goalie Clint McCann kicks out a shot at Thursday's workout. Hopefuls await their turn to go through the drills. "I'm just starting off with a few drills to get them used to being back on the ice," said Pratt. Last season, the Hawks seemed to have a revolving door when it came to their second goalie. Vete- ran Clint McCann was back on the ice Thursday and he no doubt will nail down one of the spots. "I'm stiff playing a wait and see to see what St. Marys might have," said Pratt of the goaltending situa- tion. Waiting: The Hawks are affiliat - ed with the Si. Marys Junior 'B' Lincolns and they could have a goalie prospect which could get some junior seasoning down in Ex- eter. Among the five stoppers out. to Thursday's practice, was Darren Kints who played for the Exeter bantams last year but was unsuc- cessful in • making either the Lin - coins or the Listowel Cyclones. Another bantam who played in Exeter last year and didn't make a Junior 'B' club is Sean McCann --who-was-eat-with- the- -Hawks---ver-- Thursday. The speedy lorward moved up to help the Exeter (fend - w els win the OMHA championship last year. If he suits up with the Hawks he'll be a big help to the of- fense. "I'm looking for hard workers; smart hockey players" On the offensive end of things, Ray Cousineau was on the ice Thursday and he is expected to car- ry a bulk of the offensive punch. "He'll be a guy we're counting on but we've got Shayne Robinson coming back," said frau. Like all other Junior 'D' clubs, there will be a lot of holes to fill. Question marks surround veteran defeueaesaan .AI Blammaen .and .Larry Lewis and blueliner John Bell is injured and not expected back for a month. Paul Manders has returned and has been known to play a tough - guy role which, according to Pratt. the Hawks didn't have enough of last season "We're looking for one to fill that role. I think it's something we lacked fast year." Irish.tituake cuts: The Lucan Irish atutounced they have released goal- ie Mark Dunn who was with the club last year. Big winger 13reu Revington said lie will not return due to school commitments. Coach Ken Needham said Jeremy Jemec is with Listowel Cyclones, mean lfamtnond is in Helvetia and both - Jason Wilson and Steve Matthews are with the Strathroy Blades. Wall of Fame at South Huron j ast week for the first time in SI year, Ron Bogart did not go to school. Ager many years as a stu- dent, followed by 33 years as a teacher at South Huron Dis- trict High School, Ron did not enter the classroom. A couple of years ago when I asked him what it waw like not having Panther football, he said it was like having his right amt cut off. When I spoke with him recently about how it felt not retum- ing to South Huron he simply said it felt his left arm was now Cut off. It's not surprising the man who taught thousands how to run, catch, throw and learn a little more about themselves, will be the person who helps preserve the Panthers' sporting history. A couple of weeks before school began, Ron went to South Huron to make sure the last of the football equipment was packed in a truck and shipped away to Woodstock. The money will be put towards a sort of museum in the halls just outside of Ron's old office. "With the money that we got from the football we're going to build a new trophy case. I prefer that rather than putting 11 back into athletics as such because it Would just disappear." Ron said the case, which could be built this fall, will be di- vided into three sections; football, wrestling and girls gym- nastics. Three sports which no longer are part of the program at South Huron, but three sports which helped bring a lot of recognition to Exeter. Sweaters, game balls, and Huron -Perth trophies will be put on display for all past, present and future students to sec. "I think it would be of interest. Maybe I'm a bit prejudice but things like that matter to me. It's of interest not only to younger students but those who come back and visit the school.," Ron said he did think a lot about returning to school and the various chores he had to do before the first bell rang. "My wife was saying this year I don't have to spend all Sun- day typing up this little booklet we passed out in phys ed with all the rules and regulations.". He said his nature was to put things off until the last minute. Students probably wished he had been a little late with that typing. Since his retirement Ron has been thinking about what he will be doing in the very near future. He says his basement will take a couple of years to clean up and Ron is even be- coming interested in photography. He admits when he got up to go to his store on Tuesday, it was tough not to head right to the school. "Some of the teachers were ribbing me, you lucky bugger you don't have to go back to school." Since I have been writing for this paper, Bogart was always co-operative and courteous to me. When I followed his foot- ball team down to Stratford for a game, he gave me a Pan- thers' cap pronouncing 1 was onelathew now. That hat, along with other memorabilia 1 am collecting, sits high on my shelf next to my desk hereat tate T -A. Ron may be lucky to break a routine he has been in for 33 years but believe me, hell miss it. sidelines by Fred Groves The South Huron Recreation Centre recently published its fall program which is available at the rec centre. This is a very helpful guide to all the many activities -.offered in.Exeter. Not just sporting ones but such things as calligraphy. dog obedience and first aid.
