Often, you don't think about spe- cial teams in hockey and how they'll perform. But Sunday night at the South Huron Recreation Centre, of the 13 goals scored in the Senior 'A' hock- ey game, six of them came either on the powerolay or shorthanded. The host Exeter Mohawks man- aged two shorthanded tallies as they beat the Dorchester Dolphins 8-5, increasing their record to a comfortable 5-1. Despite having just 11 skaters in Walpole Island on Saturday, Exeter won quite easily, 9-2. Against the Dolphins, Joe Scher- er had back-to-back shorthanded goals in the second period and also netted a powerplay marker. Kevin McArter, back in his first game since being injured in Strath- roy on Oct. 28 had two goals with one each from Dale Gibbon, Paul Barton and Greg Snyder. "I got kneed in Strathroy by Mary Rutledge after the whistle. 1 twisted something," said McArter. Before Sunday's game, McArter, methodically taped a lucky penny to the top of his left sock, he's says it may be a bit superstitious but it has proved lucky so far. "I found a penny in the dressing room in Dunnville last year and we won that game. (Game Four of the playoffs). 1 didn't put it on in Game Five and we lost," he said. The Mo- hawks won the next game and the series and eventually the OHA championship. Although they had played just the night before with only 11 skaters, the Mohawks came out quick against Dorchester. McArter, King - shot and Barry Baynham all had good chances but Kevin Cole came up big. "Against Dorchester, we have to generate a lot of offence to beat Cole, he's an outstanding goalie," said Exeter coach Dave Revington. He's used to a lot of shots. We have to get to him early." At 3:50 Barton took a pass from Kingshot and bounced it off of someone and into the net for the fust game's goal and just 14 sec- onds into a Dorchester penalty, Scherer drilled one from the slot. This game was a rough one and in the opening period, Scott Cole shoved Exeter's Gord Brooks against the boards and ripped his helmet off and Barton received a deep gash in his lip from Jean Marc Loiselle. In the third, tempers flared and Sports shorts Kaak captures provincial title LONDON - Two area boxers were big winners in London on Sat- urday as they won provincial cham- pionships.

Talbot to win the senior light heav- yweight while Bob Gnay won the senior heavyweight with his win over Larry Aransabia. Kaak fought Talbot back in May in Talbot's hometown of Ajax and clic judges awarded the fight to Tal- bot. "1 rocked him four times," said Kaak of the fight in May. "I couldn't finish him off. He hung on with wobbly legs and it went on to win it in a 15-8 count." In that fight, Kaak said Talbot was given four standing eight Exeter's Ron Elliott and Howard Hunt were given game misconducts for fighting. That put the Mohawks down to three defcncemcn, Bayn- ham, Chet Couture and rookie Co- rie McKee. The trio seemed to be able to get the job done for the last nine min- utes of the game. "We're playing with four or five defcnsemen every game, condition- ing is starting to come around. They know in a situation like that, that they can't handle the puck as much," said Revington. - Quinn McKnight scored twice for the visitors with the others from Scou .Cole, Tim Duff and Hunt scored when Exeter had a two-man advantage. Hunt came down along the wing and let go with a long low shot which caught Exeter goalie Trevor Hunter way off guard. "He's a first-year goalie and it was only his third start," said Rev- ington. He's got to learn and he just needs more work." Mohawks 9, Chiefs 2 Gond Brooks had five goals and an assists to pace the winners while Scherer, Barton, Gibbon and Snyd- er also connected. Exeter led just 2 - Exeter goalie Trevor Hunter tried hard to keep Dorchester's -Archie Hunter helped the Mohawks to another Senior 'A' win counts and three usually means a win for the opponent On Saturday, half way through the second round, Kaak won the provincial title. "He just went down. It wasn't a one punch knockout, it was combi- nations.' Kaak, who had to skip two hours before the fight to get his weight down a couple of kilograms to make the class, will now take some time off before heading to Prince Edward Island for the nationals on Dec. 3-5.
