Generals stingy in
giving up goals
LAMBETH - One thing the
Exeter RSD Generals can cer-
tainly do in the 1994 Ontario
Minor Hockey Association
playoffs is • keep: the puck out:of
' the net.
Friday in Lambeth with Dar-
ren Kints between the pipes, the
Generals won 5-1. In the three
round-robin post -season games,
Exeter has outscored their oppo-
nents 22-2.
The Generals will hosi 1 oiCst
on Wednesday. In the first
playoff meeting of these two
teams, the Generals won big 1 1-
I. Whoever wins that series will
take on the winner of Lambeth
and Dresden.
Against Lambeth, Exeter was
down 1-0 after the first period
but in the second Marty De-
Bruyn teamed with Chris Mac-
Donald and Trevor Taylor to tie
things up. A couple of minutes
later Gavin Snell got the winner,
a powerplay marker from De-
Bruyn and MacDonald.
Also scoring were Adam Jean
Snell with his second and Glenn
Hines. Assisting were Chad Gil-
fillan, ian Jean, Ben Armstrong
and Matt Godbolt.
The Generals coaching staff
selected Snell, DeBruyn and
Adam Jean as its three stars.
After three playoff games,
Adan} --loan• leads the offence
with five goals and two assists
while Ian Jean, MacDonald and
Snell all have six points.
Bantams bounce back: After
dropping their first four playoff
games, the Exeter bantam Le-
gionnaires have bounced back
and won ivy() in a row.
Wednesday in Exeter, the
hosts beat Ridgetown in a very
solid 8-2 contest. While it ap-
pears as though Exeter will face
the same team in the next round,
details were not known as of
press time.
Jeff MacLean had three goals
and an assist on Wednesday
while Ryan Beckett and Jeff Sa-
raras netted two each with the
other from Goeff Maver.

erplay goals and one of MacL-
can's was shorthanded. Maver

sists while Rob Morrissey and
Bill Kline also helped set up

well In control as he stood his ground In front of the Ridge
town net during last Wednesday night's OMHA playoff game
fn Exeter.

The science of goaltending gets help from a real teacher
By Fred Groves
T -A staff
EXETER - Imagine making a
mistake and a red light goes on be-
hind you and you immediately have
thousands of fans yelling. That is if
they can drown out the horns, hells
and other various noise makers.
Being a goalie means you are the
last guy on the hockey rink to shut
the door, hold the fort, keep the had
guys away.
Goaltending is the position which
is often overlooked by coaches be-
cause they simply ,don't understand
it. It's often been called a science
and one which takes nerves of
steel,
No matter how old a goalie is, the
fact of having pucks being shot at
him from short and long distances
can be frightful, but still, many do
it.
"It's interesting and 1 like the
thrill of pucks corning at rite," said
Greg Monck of the Exeter Atom
Mustangs. "I've been a goalie since
first year novice."
Last Tuesday, he and 15 other
young goalies from the local Exeter
Minor Hockey Association, put on
their gear and for an hour learned
about their science from a very in-
teresting professor.
At this year's goalie clinic, the
EMHA brought in a specialist.
Strathroy's Steve McKichan had the
goalies and their shooters going
through a four -station drill.
They were up, they were down,
they were to the left side and then
to the right. Move ahead to cut
down the angle, hack to protect the
goal - all tools of the goaltending
trade.
He videotaped them and when
their on -ice session was completed,
McKichan showed them what they
NHL's history makers
The smallest:
Roy Wortens started his career with the New York Americans in the
1928-29 season and in that year he recorded a 1.21 GAA. He was the first
goalie to win the Hart Trophy as the league's MVP. He was the first goalie
to use the backs of his gloves to divert shots. Wortens was five foot three
and weighed 120 pounds.
The oldest:
While some may argue Johnny Bower was the oldest NHL goalie, it was
New York Ranges Lester Patrick. When Lorne Chabot was injured during
the April 7, 1928 Stanley Cup playoff game, Patrick, the Rangers' coach
had to go between the pipes. He allowed just one goal and New York won
their first Cup in overtime. Patrick was 44 years old.
First goal by a goalie: On Dec. 8, 1987 Ron Hextall of the
Philadelphia Flyers.
Longest game streak: The great Glenn Hall played in 502
straight games when he was with Detroit and Chicago.
were doing right and what they had
to brush up on.
Teaching seems to come natural-
ly for him and it should be because
that's what he is, a Grade 2 teacher.
"Now only the principal yells at
me instead of 18,000 fans," said
McKichan.
Lots of time between the pipes;
McKichan played foi the Strathroy
Junior 'B' Blades before receiving a
scholarship with the University of
Miami -Ohio he spent two years in
the Vancouver Canucks organiza-
tion.
At Miami -Ohio he received an ed-
ucation which he stresses as being
very important to all the young
goalies he instructs.
"I tell them how important it is to
have school or a trade. You have to
have something to fall back."
When he was growing up, putting
on the pads several times a week
and preparing for what was to be a
successful collegiate career, McKi-
chan had no idea what was going to
happen if and when he made in to
the National Hockey League.
"I was injured after I played my
first game in the NHL. A guy end-
ed i iy career."
A though McKichan won't elabo-
rate because the incident is in the
midst of a law suit, he said he gives
a lot of his time now to young goal -
fes because he figures his career
was cut short and he wants others
to have a chance at longer ones.
"This year I've done goalie clin-
ics in about 30 different communi-
ties. Any kid that calls me I'll come
out and do it free of charge."
McKichan brought to Exeter last
Tuesday some pretty good creden-
tials. After three years of university
hockey he was the Canucks' second
choice, seventh overall in the 1988
supplemental draft.
After university he played games
with the Canucks' farm club in Vir-
ginia of the East Coast Hockey
League. There he posted a 16-1 1-2
record and compiled a 4.02 goals
against average.
On Tuesday he had a well orga-
nized plan and with the help of
some Exeter coaches and sharp-
shooters from the bantam Legion-
naire and midget Generals, made
sure the goalies had lots of pucks
coming their way.
Balance, eye co-ordination, puck
handling, skating and angles were
just some of the key ingredients
McKichan was teaching.
Pointing out the finer points of the art of goaltending during last Tuesday's clinic was Steve
McKichan. Here he has the attention of the 16 Exeter Minor Hockey Association goalies who
took part.
