"It's great fun, they're very good at what they do," said Mohawks coach -general manager Dave Revington. "They play 60 games a year and they're difficult to book. I got them back in the summer." Norm Whim Paul Henderson While Henderson is remembered most for scoring the winning goal in the 1972 Canada -Russia series he had 477 points over a 13 -year NHL career. He played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings and the Atlanta Flames. Bathyt to is a former captain of the New York Rangers and winner of the NHL's•Mbst Valuable Player Award. Ullman played 20 years in the NHL and the Hockey Hall of Famers suited up for the Detroit Red Wings as well as the Maple Leafs. "They travel around, they're entertainers. We're paying them to come in as a fundraiser," said Revington. Tickets for the exciting event can be purchased from any Mohawk ex - Eddie Shack Andy Bathgate ecutive member. Cost is $6 in advance or $7 at the door and there is only 1,200 tickets being sold. Talk about entertainment, look for a few laughs especially with the very popular Eddie 'Clear the Track' Shack as the referee. His well trav- elled career saw stops in New York, Toronto, Boston, Los Angeles, Buf- falo and Pittsburgh. While the Mohawks will be slightly outgunned, don't be surprised if you see some good matchups as Exeter's Joe Scherer, a former pro in the minor leagues will try his best to score on NHL Oldtimers' goalie Peter McDuffe. Wayne Carleton Jack Valiquette Lucan Irish edge Stars, but fall to Mt. Brydges 3-2 By Fred Groves T -A staff LUCAN - If it wasn't for about three minutes of decent hockey, the Lucan Irish might not have won last Wednesday night's game against the visiting North Middles- ex Stars. A slim 5-4 ORA Junior Develop- ment League win over the Stars, a team just in the league for their second season, brought a wave of anger from -Irish coach Ken Need- ham.

Last Tuesday in Aylmer, Tim ;`'Shields returned to the Exeter alineup and notched a pair of shorthanded goals to Iift the visi- tors to a 7-5 win over the Hor- nets. Although .il :ohawks strug- gled in the di t)f#'rame, neverthe- tless, coach Dave Revington was pleased with the win. • "I was surprised. We didn't a:<have a very good lineup. I sure i4idn't thunk we'd have a 7-2 lead iiihe end of the second period." Also scoring for the winners were Joe Scherer and Wayne lltbshott each with two and the other from Richard Hawkins. Uefenseman Jeff Warren played well as tie added four assists. "To be 3.1-1, I can't be happi- er the way things were a month ago," said Revington. Tlx: Mohawks boosted the :coaches words to even greater heights three days later as they sl travelled to Oshweken and i.oWged the Riverhawks 5-4. It's the second straight win #over the Rivertiawks as Exeter <;Won 2-0 late last month. In Oshweken, Jamie English had his best game as a Mohawk as he netted three goals with the t t g i otni Jj from Junior 'b' hockey "There's going to be some chang- es immediately," said Needham. It was 2-1 for the Stars at the end of the first period before the hosts came back and went up 5-2 after 40 minutes. But like they did in the first, North Middlesex dominated in the third scoring twice. "I've given them (Lucan players) the benefit of the doubt and it's time to do my thing," said Need- ham. The Stars yanked goalie Aaron Lucas with 50 seconds left in regu- lation time and came very close to sending the game into overtime. Lucan was missing half a dozen regulars including sniper Steve Moore and captain Andy Ross, but those who were in the lineup cer- tainly let Needham down. Lack of discipline seemed to be what hurt the Irish the most Wednesday as defensemen Dave Mancari was ejected for fighting and in the third, winger Travis Stinchcombe was tossed out for kicking a downed North Middlesex player. "1 don't think I've ever seen any- thing that stupid in all .my time in hockey," said Needham of Stinch- Jay Jackson of the Lucan Irish got past a North Middlesex defenseman on this play during last Wednesday's game. Exeter struggling, beaten twice SEAFORTH - It was a long week for the Exeter Hawks, dropping both of their OHA Junior Develop- ment League west division games. Last Tuesday at home, the Hawks, fell 4-2 to the defending provinial champions Mitchell Hawks and then on Friday in Sea - forth, Exeter was beaten by a simi- lar 4-2 count. The pair of losses drops the Hawks record to 8-5 as they have lost three in a row. In Seaforth the Hawks received some good goaltending from Chris Lyndon as he turned away 32 shots but the Exeter offence couldn't get going. Exeter trailed 2-1 after the first period and their was no scor- ing in the second frame. For the visitors, Nathan Burns and Shayne Robinson scored while Paul McLlwain with two, Ted Sills and Steve Mclnally answered for the winners. Mitchell 4. Exeter Last Tuesday night goalie Kirk Durand played one of his best games in a Hawk uniform as he turned away 29 Mitchell shots, many of them possible goals. However, the offence in front of Durand, missing its leading scorer Robinson couldn't get going and as a result, the locals dropped their fourth of the season: Exeter couldn't get through the Mitchell defensive plan as it took • Exeter hosts annual event this weekend HF,NSALL - Ringeue teams from across Southwestern'Ontario will con- verge an Hensall and Exeter this w for the annual Exeter and Dis- trict Ringettc Association anneal tourname Beginning at 6 p.m. Fricjsy night ;at nsall Arena, the Exeter Tweens will take on Stratford.

Bums Willa huge hi on big Josh Lamboum and that, combined with some hustle from Greg Dalrymple and Chad Gilfllan, started Exeter going a little but not enough. It was 1-1 after 40 minutes but Mitchell's Jeremy Smith and Kory Dietz scored 11 seconds apart and Rob Boville scored to make it 4-1 before Exeter's Sean McCann net- ted his 15th of the year. combe's actions which will bring a minimal four games suspension. One of the few bright spots Wednesday night was the effort of Lucan rookie Jay Jackson as the quick skater had one of the five Irish goals. "He still makes a a lot of mis- takes, but he's only 16," said Need- ham. When the Irish turned it on against the Stars it was an offen- sive explosion. After Parkhill had a 2-1 lead, the Irish seemed to start hitting and playing a physical game which stopped the Stars' offence briefly. "I didn't tell them to start hitting. I just told them to play the game the way they're capable of doing. There's no magic," said Needham. With 7:45 left in the second, Lu - can tied it 2-2 on a nice 1-2-3 pass- ing play completed by Mike Robb. Greg DePrest had a lot of time to deke Lucas and put it up and just a minute later two more goals came for the winners, one by Mike Reid when he alertly walked in from the slot and the other by Stinchcombe. Scoring for North Middlesex on the night were Rob Daniel, Nathan McCann, Pete Gallagher and Brian Mann. Second Toss: Saturday night in Mt. Brydges, the Irish saw their record dip to 9-2-2 as they fell 3-2 to the Bulldogs. Jeremy Jemec teamed with Dwayne Price to make it 1-0 for the Irish in the first but it was 2-1 for the hosts at the end of the sec- ond. The Bulldogs went up 3-1 before Price scored for Lucan from De- Prest and Moore. Tonig's Hawks will try to get revenge from earlier season loss LUCAN - While the Ontario Hockey Association Junior Development League season may still be in its early stages, four teams are beginning to show they will probably dominate for the rest of the season. Tonight, in Lucan at 8:15 p.m. two of those teams, the host Irish and the Exeter Hawks will Meet. The other two teams, Mitchell Hawks and Seaforth Centenaires have given both Exeter and Lucan a hard time. But tonight, Mitchell and Sea - forth will be forgotten, for the time being, as Exeter tries to win the second game of the five meetings between themselves and Lucan. Back on October 20, the Irish travelled to the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter and returned home with a 5-3 win. Heading into tonight's game, both teams are in somewhat of an unusual situation as they have struggled in their last three gamest Lucan may have a comfortable 9-2-2 record but in their last three games have tied Lambeth, beat North Middlesex by a goal and lost to Mt. Brydg- es. These aren't tough teams and Lucan should have won all three. Hawks offence slowing down? In the last three games, the Hawks have had a very rough ndc, meeting Mitchell back-to-back and then Seaforth. All three games were close, but Exeter lose In the fust game against Mitchell, Hawks sniper Sh.iyne Robinson was roughed up and did not play the next game. He was back to suit up against Seaforth on Friday but he's not 100 percent. Forward Nathan Burns is playing well for the Hawks but it seems the rest of the team needs a kick start of some kind to get them going. Goaltending has been first rate as both second -Year Kirk Durand and rookie Chris Lyndon are doing their best to keep the puck out of the net.
