Brooks has five points, but Mohawks drop opener

EXETER - Sometimes a crisis
sipidbrt;brings out the best in a
tom.
That was the case with Gord
of the Exeter Mohawks
y night.
In Trout of a disappointing open-
ing night crowd, the veteran for -
•ward scored one goal and set up
four more in an 8-6 loss to the vis-
iting Aylmer Hornets.
'The 42 -year-old Brooks, now in
his fifth season with the Senior 'A'
team, was going to be an assistant
to coach -general manager Dave
Revington this year.

"We have some guys busy with

Irish top Cents. 11-5
Not real pretty, but still a win
By Fred Groves
T -A staff
LUCAN - You would expect a
game between two undefeated
teams to be exciting, but this one
wasn't.
Seaforth Centenaires travelled to
Lucan on Wednesday night and af-
ter 60 minutes, the Irish remained
the only undefeated team in the
OHA Junior Development west di-
vision, beating the Cents 11-5.
This was not a pretty game, the
kind you can reflect on and remem-
ber for the rest of the series, this
was u ly.
"I didn't think it was ever going
to end," said Lucan coach Ken
Needham.
For a time span of 1:09 in the
first period there was no defence
by either team as there were four
goals scored.
"It wasn't a very defensive
game," said Lucan veteran bluelin-
er Ed Vankerkoerlc.
He had his best offensive game
of the early season, blasting three
goals past the Seaforth netminders
Scott Wildgustand Jason Pethick.
VanKerkoerle had five goals in the
first-6vegames.
There were nine powerplay goals
scored in Wednesday's game. six of
them by the Irish.
- "It could be because .they didn't
put much pressure on the. defence.
They let us take the shots," said
VanKerkoerle.
Also scoring for the winners
were Greg DePrest who had a big
five- point night as he helped set
up four goals, Andy Ross, Jeff
Stanton, Derek Greenlee, Jim Stan-
ton, Steve Moore, Travis Love and
Jason Reidhead.
Needham said he was pleased
* with the way his team was able to
capitalize with the man advantage.
"We've been working on it (pow-
erplay), not a great deal, but some."
This was a very long game, not
only with the many stops in play to
report the 16 goals scored, but
there were a lot of penalties as
well. Lucan took 42 minutes in'mi-
nors, defenceman Kevin Letich
who was -later ejected for three
stick•penahies had five minors and
goalie Eoin Mclnemey was given a
four -minute spearing penalty when
he tried to clear his crease.
Seaford' also took a lot of penal-
ties and VanKerkoerle said it cer-
tainly didn't hurt the Irish.

Good swl heaping by Danielle Ritchie
Neither Megan, right; of the Exeter and District Ripgette As-
sociation's novice team battled for a loose puck during Sun
day's game against St. Marys. Played at the Hensall Arena,
Morgan scored two goals in a 10-1 victory.
"They were trying to run guys
and they were taking themselves
out of position. Maybe that's why
we got so many shots."
In the first period, it took just
2:54 into the game for Ross and
rookie Chris Haskeu to team up
and at 9:13 it was 2-0 as DcPrest
connected and just 57 seconds later
Reidhead got his second of •the
year.
But the visitors quickly closed
the gap and made it 3-2 when McI-
nerney made a big pad save on
Mike Devereaux but Boyd Dever-
eaux was there to pounce on the re-
bound.
Jason McNichol watched as two
Irish piayers collided and then
trickled one in. Jeff Stanton scored
to give the Irish a two -goal cushion
but McNichol then waltzed around
everyone and beat McInerney
again.
"Two or three times the guy went
in untouched," said Needham of
McNichol. There's nobody good
enough in this league to do that,"
he said of his team's poor defensive
play.

Although they had a lot of penal-
ties, the Irish came up big on Satur-
day with a win over host Lambeth.
Second -year forward Scott Rid-

shorthanded to pace the winners.

Brooks, a former American
Hockey League scoring champ, had
three assists in the Mohawks pre-
season. After Sunday's game he
said he has tried to keep in shape
over the summer.
"I get in shape faster playing
games rather than a training camp.
The more you play, the better you

ner with Exeter's Joe Scherer in the
box for elbowing.
In the third period the Mohawks
had a two-man advantage fbr 47
seconds but they could not capital-
ize.
Aylmer led 3-2 after the opening
period as Exeter had a lot of troubk
in front of rookie goalie Trevor
Hunter. With just five defensemen,
two of them newcomers, they let in
three soft goals.
"When you speak of defence, you
talk of team defence it takes five
guys," said Revington. They got a
tot of cheap goals. They were in
front of our net far too long."
