In their season home opener, the Irish handled the Mt. Brydges Bull- dogs 5.2, Friday travelled to Mitch- ell and battled to a 5-5 draw with the Hawks and the next night beat host North Middlesex Stars 7-3 in Parkhill. The win increased the Irish's record to a very solid 3.0-1 which ,they take into tonight's game in Lu- 'can.against the Alvinston Flyers. Irish 5. •Bulldogas 2 Last Wednesday night in the home opener, Lucan had a tough first period as they could only man- age a 1-1 tie after 20 minutes. But three big goals in the middle frame and another marker in the third, gave the Irish their second win in as many starts. "I'm happy with the efforts so far. I like what I see," said Irish coach Ken Needham. Rookie Rob Davis gave the hosts a 1-0 lead when he finished off a nice two -on -one break with line - mate Greg DePrest. Davis, a Strat- ford -native, will likely be the -left- winger on 'the Irish's number one • scoring line with o K t and_right- winger. Steve Moore. "I. 'think he'll probably be there and . they .like him," said Needham ofpavis. After Mt. Brydges' Mike Deleary tied it . up as he put in a rebound past Stuart Ashton the Irish got thnee,back. Connecting in the sec- ond were Dwayne Price, Steve Matthews and Derek Greenlee. Matthews, whoplayed Junior iB' last year, bulled his way down the right side, fighting off an opponent before backhanding the puck past Darryl Reddy. Kevin Meany got one back for the Bulldogs in the second while De.Prest and Moore teamed in the third for the fifth Lucan goal. As it is early in the season, (the Irish were making some mental mistakes like when veteran de- fepsetillOWNSalKarkeerle ru 'pt whh th k ' period He gave it upliimeio in 'the BM* zone and 'then was whis- tled -for a penalty. would hope 'if the score was diffaant he wouldn't do that. They're thinking offence, 'that's all it is," said Needham. Irish 5. Hawks 5 Last spring Mitchell 'beat Lucan in the division final and went on to win the provincial title. However the two clubs were even Friday night as they battled to a 1-1 tie after the first period and 4- 4 after 40 minutes. There was no scoring in the third. Dave Mancari scored for the Irish with 1:39 left in the overtime period but with just 33 seconds left, Mitchell's Rob Jarmuth snatched the win away from Lucan. Minor hockey 1._..'''

By`Fred Groves T -A staff EXETER - The captain has returned to rescue the sinking ship and itis just in time. Sunday night the Exeter Mohawks lost a 7-3 South- western Senior 'A' Hockey League exhibition game to the visiting Dorchester Dolphins but Dave Reving- ton was back with the team. Revington, coach and general manger 'of the Mo- hawks is recovering from major back surgery which has kept him away from the club thus far. Without him, the team which won the provincial ti- tle two seasons ago, has sputtered and did not make it to their first exhibition game due to lack of players. There was speculation that the team might even by on the verge of folding but that notion has been squashed and the Mohawks will open their regular season in Dorchester on Friday before hosting Osh- wcken on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. "I think people were just discouraged," said Rev- ington of the team's slow ;#tart. "We had made a list of 50 players and each':oititeWas all capable of playing this calibre." Sunday, the Mohawks had 17 players dressed and Revington said -others are "tentative." At the MtihaWks opening night of training camp, there were 234#ayers but the commitment wasn't there when it cane time for pre -season play. "I don't think [he.ague should start until Novem- ber 1 when the Wtries is over: said Reving- ton. Iptte ihe.limited number of available players and 1bowingi tSunday's game, according to Revi t There's no need to push the panic button. "As T='ecall we started out pretty slow the last couple of years." New faces: Of the 17 Mohawks in Sunday's game, only seven of them were with the team on a regular basis last year. Centre Wayne Urbshott returns after a year away and big defenseman Dale Timmermans is back after an eye injury sidelined him. Goalie Jeff Hill is also back and he'll backup veteran Rick Pikul. "He was a little discouraged and sat a year. He's re- gained his interest," said Revington of Hill who helped the Mohawks to the 1991-92 provincial title. New faces are Larry Lewis who was with the Jun-. ior'D' Hawks last year, Dean Schram, Mary Rutledge and Sean Reaume all from the Strathroy Sharks which folded earlier this month. Jamie English and Rob Warren have Junior 'B' ex- perience and the very large Todd Brodhead is also a former Strathroy player. Broomhead who played rightwing on Sunday could be the guy to replace the hard-hitting Dale Gibbon. Sunday's game saw the Mohawks build up a 2-0 first period lead on goals by Kevin McAner and Eng- lish but it was 4-2 after 40 minutes as the Pc. battled back. One of the few bright spots for the`Mohawks amu` midway in the third when veteran Greg Snyd- er had a shorthanded goal. Scoring for the Dolphins were Scott Cole with two, BrianServetnyk, Archie Dunbar, Terry Wallin, Scott Moser and Jeff Pearson.
