"It's a return to a practice we had a few years ago," said club presi- dent Tom McCann. "We felt it was in line with what a lot of other jun- ior teams do." At their annual awards banquet Saturday night, McCann said the Hawks will of course ask last year's manager -coach George Pratt and assistant coach Dan Mudge to ap- ply. The Hawks finished third in the OHA Junior Development League west division this season but went out four straight in the playoffs to the tough Seaforth Centenaires. "One of the important stats this year was that we beat every team," said Pratt. The Hawks, Seaforth and Lucan were the only teams to get a win away from division win- ners Mitchell. Hosting only two post -season games hurt the club financially which meant they have a deficit of about $6,000. However fundraising events such as the dance featuring Positively Stompin on April 23 Award winners this year included, back, left; Dave Dalrymple, Leadership and Best Defenceman; Steve Farquhar, Most Sportsmanlike. Front, left; Ray Cousineau, Best Defensive For- ward; Nathan Burns, Rookie -of -the -Year and Playoff MVP.

"I wish 1 would have experienced it as a player," he said of the quick exit. "It's too bad the way things went." Among the award winners Satur- day were rookie Nathan Burns who not only carted home the Rookie - of -the -Year Award but was named the Playoff MVP. He along with Lee Gibbings, Mark Livermore and Shane Mac- Donald came from the Clinton mid- gets which won the OMHA title the year before. "Many of these players came to us with championship teams back- ground. The brought something to the Exeter Hawks," said McCann. This year's team consisted of 10 rookies and McCann said it was a young team and a very competitive one. "Our players can be proud of their accomplishments. We provid- ed good entertainment. Anybody who watched, it was hard to pick out our first year players." Exeter said goodbye to veterans Dave Dalrymple and Todd McCann as the overagers leave the club. Dalrymple with six years service and McCann with three. McCann was the winner of the Hawk Award for Sportsmanship, Ability and Perseverance while Lincolns capture Shamrock League crown LUCAN - After becoming OMHA finalists, the Exeter Lin- colns continued to play hockey and on Saturday, won the Shamrock Bantam AE Championship. Exeter beat Ilderton 5-4 in sud- den -death overtime. The Lincolns_ led 2-1 after the first period but fell behind 3-2 after two periods. Bryon Ellerington led the Lincolns with three goals including the winner, while Nathan Ross and Brock Weiss also scored. Ryan Freiter, Weiss and Trevor Ohre had the as- sists. Goaltending in the Shamrock League playoffs, which included sweeping St. Marys in three straight, were shared by John Min- ers and Joe Bierling. Dalrymple won the Leadership Award and Best Defenceman. "We had a couple of others to choose from but looking back we made the right choice," said Pratt of keeping Dalrymple and McCann for their overage season. Like all hockey clubs, the Hawks will lose some players to Junior 'B', university and of course, junior graduation, to these McCann said, "we wish everyone who is leaving the Hawks all the best."
