DePrest's shorthanded marker came with just five seconds left in the game and it lifted the Irish into a tie for second place with the Mt. BrAttritt ydges Bulldogs in the OHA Jun- ior Development League's west di- vision. The Bulldogs took on Alvinston on the weekend while the Irish are idle until they host Mitchell Hawks tonight at 8:15 p.m. "The puck slipped past their de- fensemen and I picked it up," De_ Prest described the goal. "It got caught up in my skates and (Dwayne ) Price passed it over. I was just in the right place at the right time." Referee Dave Belling hau his arm up signalling a penalty against Exeter Hawks' Jamie. Cornish during fact Wvrtnesrtny.c Junior 'n' game in Lucan v Last year's league leading scoret, DePrest missed the first couple of shifts of Wednesday's game be- cause his car broke down in Lon- don due to the bad weather. "He didn't get here until after the game started. His car quit and his mom picked him up," said Lucan coach Ken Needham who was pleased his top'i entre was able to get to the game. While DePrest netted a pair of go11s, Rrice was a huge factor in this game as he scored once and added four assists for a big five - point night. "It was a lot of hard work by Price to get the puck to him," said Needham. Also scoring for the winners were defensemen Ed VanKerkoerle with two and Aaron Moran with one. Centre Mike Reid scored and cap- tain Andy Ross moved back to play on the blueline also connected. Lucan was without defensemen Craig Brown, Keith Robson, Dave Mancari and Colin Kowal- chuck.That left VanKerkoerle, Mo- ran, call up bantam -aged Corey Smith and Ross. "We were hurting for some de- fensemen which cost us. There was some bad goaltending by both teams," said Needham. Stuart Ashton started in net for the Irish but after a good save on Todd McCann re-injured his groin and was replaced by Steve Watson. "We know we can score goals but we have • + stop more," observed N. . 1. For the . wks it was their sec- ond one -goal loss in as many nights as they were nipped by Mt. Brydg- es 5-4 the night before. Hawks' centre Sean McCann pumped in two goals and set up four more for his best offensive night since November 19 when he also had a six -point performance against North Middlesex. "We've got the talent and we'll go a long way in the playoffs but right now we're not playing together," laid Exeter coach George Pratt. Shayne Robinson had two goals and three assists while Todd McCann had a goal and set up two others. Also scoring were defens- men Dave Dalrymple with his fifth and Jason McQrriide's shot from the defenseman point netted him his first of the sea- son. For the second straight meeting of the rivals it was not a goaltend- ers battle as beck on November 17, Burns fires four against Seaforth By Fred Groves T -A staff SEAFORTH - Anything can hap- pen on any night in the OHA Junior Development League - just ask the Exeter Hawks. Following a pair of losses earlier in the week, the Hawks bounced back on Sunday to beat the tough Seaforth Centenaires 6-1. The win, the Hawks 14th, comes after one - goal defeats to Lucan and Mt. Brydges. "We knew they had small for- wards and we had to hit them," said George Pratt. Called up from the RSD Midget Generals, goalie Darren Kints played another strong game be- tween the pipes. Offensively, roo- kie forward Nathan Burns had a big game as he scored four goals, three of them on the powerplay. For the Hawks who led 2-0 after the fust period and 5-0 after 40 minutes, Jon Schiedel and Ray Cousineau also scored with two as- sists each to Mark Livermore, Sean McCann and Shayne Robinson. Last night the Hawks tried for a little revenge against Bulldogs in a game in Exeter and Friday night host the Belmont Pests. The Hawks travel to Alvinston on Sunday for a 3:30 p.m. game with the Flyers. Nathan Burns ....four goals Bulldogs 5. Hawks 4 After coming off a big win against Mitchell, Exeter looked as though they were still riding a high against Mt. Brydges last Tuesday night in Exeter. Although they trailed 1-0 after the fust period, Exeter pulled even 3-3 after 40 minutes. However, a few illnesses and Shakey defensive play met the Hawks were handed their ninth loss of the season.

At least two of the visitors goals came from not picking up the man in front of Kints who made the first stop but couldn't control the re- bound. "We had poor coverage on re- bounds in front of our net. Our cen- termen weren't covering the man in front and it resulted in two goals," said Pratt. Centre Sean McCann had at least three good scoring chances, twice Bulldogs goalie Darryl Reddy got his stick out to knock the puck away and on another attempt, snatched a shot out of the air which was very close to sneaking under the crossbar. • "He (Reddy) was hot. We had a lot of point blank shots that I thought were going to be goals,' said Pratt. The Mt. Brydges goalie was cer- tainly the difference in this game as he turned away 23 saves compared to Kints who made 19. Late in the game, the Hawks were down 5-4 and had a good chance to tie it up when Cousineau went in alone but rattled one off the crossbar. Although Cousineau had two as- sistt� the night, he and a few oth- Battling for were Irish position in front of the Aaron Moran, left and the Hawks won in Lucan 9-7. In both games, Exeter's Kirk Du- rand was in net. Wednesday he had no backup as rookie Chris Lyndon was still on holidays and Darren Kints practiced with his team the RSD Midget Generals. Durand made ssq�ypn a big stops in the second period %eluding a glove grab on Price's breakaway and a Shawn Fairweather backhander. However he did look Shakey on VanKerkoerle's fust which was lobbed high into the air dropping into the net behind a surprised Du- rand. "I thought they (Lucan) had a lot of soft goals. As for the rest of them, it wasguys who should have been cored in front of the net," said Pratt. In Wednesday's game, it ILs 2-2 after the fust period and 5-5 follow- ing 40 minutes of play. Down a goal with 35 seconds left in the game, Pratt pulled Durand for the extra attacker and it payed off as McCann notched his 24th of the year. On the play, Lucan's Jeremy Je- mec was given a penalty and he went to the box and watched De- Prest score the winner. Notes:...Both teams had a famil- iar face in the Bacup as Dan Ryan returned for the Hawks and Jim Stanton who got an assist suited up for the Irish.

Pratt said defensemen Mark Lynn was balding off a bout of pneumonia. In the final period, the Hawks bench was shortened as Pratt went primarily with two lines and four defensemen. Of the four blueliners, veterans Jamie Cornish and captain Dave Dalrymple saw a lot of ice. Ervine Abdulove scored two powerplay goals for the visitors with the others from Lance May- brey, Shane Harrison and Scott Sturdy. Burns scored the first Exeter goal at the 8:36 point of the middle frame after some fine work by line - mate Schiedel. While being pushed against the boards behind the Mt. Brydges net, Schiedel managed to get the puck out front to Burns who netted his 15th of the season. Cousineau did a lot of work to get the puck to Steve Farquhar who let go with a low shot which at the time, knotted the score at 2-2. Exet- er never did have the lead in this game as they always cane back to tic it up but could not go ahead. Todd McCann managed to get his stick down between a Bulldogs' de- fcnsmcn's legs just enough to get to the puck to put it past Reddy. Sev- en minutes into the third period Livermore got right in front of the net to score his 11th. Exeter Junior D Hawks VS Belmont Pests Fri,, Jan. 7 South Huron Rec Centre 8:30 p.m. ►t :.
