(PHDT013Y BILL SHORE) Lack of defensemen hurt Mohawks in loss to Aylmer Take on NHL Oldtimers Saturday night By Fred Groves T -A staff EXETER - It was quite an inter- esting weekend for the Exeter Mo- hawks: Saturday they travelled to Dunn- ville, where, after one period, play was suspended because the lights ant out. The nett night in Exeter against er, the Mohawks scored three goals in 45 seconds but still came up short 9-6 against the Hornets. Unofficially, the game with the Dunnville Mudcats goes down as a 1-1 tie, and that, combined with the loss against Aylmer has the Mo- hawks Southwestern Senior 'A' Hockey League record at 4-2-2. "I told Dunnville we'd replay the game if they'd pay for our bus which is $750. We decided to take a point and go. home," said Exeter coach Dave Revington. Joe Scherer scored the lone goal in Dunnville while goalie Rick Pi- kul played a strong game making seven big saves. Exeter only had 13 skaters dressed for both games and on Sunday had just three defense - men. Dale Timmerman, Jeff Warren, Kris Bedard. Jeff McLenaghan and Dean Schram a were all missing from the Mohawks' blueline Sun- day and Revington said that was one reason Exeter was beaten. "It was a big part of it. (Stefan) Camire is a new player and he hasn't played contact hockey in a few years." ,Camire, played Major Junior 'A' for the Verdun Canadiens, was in Exeter Mohawks' detenseman Stefan Camire was welcomed to the club in an unusue way as he was one of only three blueliners in Sunday's Sete ')r 'A' hockey game. Here he tries to get to the puck ahead of Aylmer's Mike Haines. Page 15 Girls beat Bears, fall to Vikings OODERICH -. All season long the Goderich Vikings gave South Huron a hard time. But although the Pan- thers lost both regular season_games to the Vikings by__ eight points, Thursday's game was a big surprise. Goderich won the Huron Conference senior girls basketball crown with a crushing 41-10 win over the visiting Panthers. What was a surprise was that two days earlier in Exeter, the Panthers looked sharp in their conference semi-final win over Seaforth. South Huron easily beat the visiting Bears 26-12 in a game which saw the two teams tied 4-4 after the first quarter. Just 20 seconds intd5.the second quarter, Stacey Thur- man hit a three -pointer which ripped the mesh and combined with a Candace Miller layup gave the hosts a 9-8 lead at the half. The first half was somewhat one-sided as far as fouls "Awe etmce reed as the Bears were only whistled down once compared to 11 times by the Panthers. There was only 1:35 left in the third quarter when Miller hit a 12 -foot jumper breaking a 10-10 tie and from then on the game belonged to South Huron. When Jenny Robertson hit a long shot with 18 sec- onds left in the third, the hosts had their biggest lead of the game. In the fourth, the Panthers dominated and played well defensively as Kerri-Lynn Case stole the ball and drew a foul.

MARYS - After a good exhi- bition schedule in which they man- aged to win two games, tie one and lose two,•the South Huron Panthers boys' hockey team dropped its Hu- ron Conference league opener. Wednesday in St. Marys, 'the hosts skated to a 6-2 win. Earlier this year in Exeter, the Panthers beat the same team in an exhibition game 8-3. Scoring for South Huron who trailed 4-1 at the end of the first pe- riod were Ben Geiger and Chris MacDonald. The Panthers attempt- ed to get back on the winning side of things yesterday as they played host to Goderich. the American Hockey League for about 20 games with the Sher- brooke Canadiens and has universi- ty experience with Ottawa. He along with regular§ Barry Baynham and Mary Rutledge, and forward Jacques Bealieau played defence Sunday. Bealieau was_given a ten minute misconduct wiffi about eight min- utes left in the game which put the Mohawks at a very big disadvan- tage. . "I haven't played competitively in three years," said Camire after the game. "At fust I was kind of ner- vous and I thought it was going to be very interesting." Despite not playing contact hock- ey for a while, Camire who works in London, did not look that much out of place. He is a very fast skater who makes up his mind quickly what he is going ,to do when he has the puck. "I have to work on getting my timing down. A few of my passes weren't as quick as they should have been," he saw. Camire was not drafted into the National Hockey League as he played both forward and defence during his junior career which no doubt hampered any chances of a shot at the NHL. Big comeback: The Mohawks trailed Sunday's game 7-3 but fired three quick goals in less than a min- ute to pull to within one and make the final few minutes very exciting. With Aylmer's Jim Patterson and Wilbur Hutchison both in the pen- alty box, Revington opted to yank Pikul out of the net with 5:11 left to play - It gave the Mohawks a six -on - 'three situation which they cashed in on as Jamie English scored. "I've done things like that before. It's the coaches only way to help a hockey team, it picks them up," said Revington. The gamble certainly worked as Exeter got another powerplay marker from Greg Murray and the Mohawks pulled to within one as Jon Buder connected with his fifth of the year. "He's (Boder) a very disciplined and hard working player. He plays the game properly. I wish I had five more guys like him," said Reving- ton. Also scoring for Exeter were Ka vin McArter who id a blast go very early in the game, English had two and Greg Snyder scored. Trevor Hunter started in net for the tt after the seventh goal by Pikul. xzxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx EXETER JUNIOR HAWKS WORLD N SERIES POOL g N Winning tickets for H ► game 3 and 4 were not claimed by the November 15 deadline.
