Defence key to winning first gold medal WALKERTON - The Exeter Seven and Under Ringette team travelled to Walkerton recently and brought home the gold. Exeter finished Round Robin Play with a win and two ties. After round robin play Exeter had to wait the outcome of the Elora vs, Wal- kerton game. A tie between them would have knocked Exeter out due to a three-way tie with Elora and Walkerton. Exeter earned second place when Elora won the game with only 40 seconds left in the game. The final match was an end-to- end game with Elora leading in the first period. Exeter took control in the second and went on to heat Elo- ra 7-4. Coaching staff say defence was the key factor in all of their games. The was the first time the Seven and Under (the Bunnies) won a tournament and for ten of the players it was their first earned, medal in ringettc. The Exeter Petite "A" Ringctte team also won a gold medal at the tourney after' they beat Stratford 4- I in a fast and tough game. Both sides recorded many shots on net and Exeter goalie Arnie McCann made some key saves. The Exeter Petite "A" team won the Dave Cassidy Memo- rial Tournament in Walkerton. Back row from left,.

The good news for the Chiefs is that they have been classified as Juvenile 'CC'. Manager John Ra- senbcrg is pleased that his team has been fairly relegated to this divi- sion for OMHA playoffs. The 'B' category that the Chiefs played in during the 1995-96 season made it difficult to compete with larger centres although they had defeated Aylmer in that category in the On- tario semi-finals last year. in league play this year, the Chiefs have split evenly with Aylmer -at 1-0-1 and -a four for, four against, identical record. Much of the Chiefs success is due to their scoring ability com- bined with a strong defense and goaltending. The Executive and coaches anticipate a strong showing in both league and playoff action. Brian Richardson and Bryon El- lerington arc returning following hand and wrist injuries respective- ly. Ryan Soldan returned after sit- ting two games with a wrist injury and Ryan Beckett returned from a leg injury. With injuries and sus- pensions at a minimum the Chiefs were ready for action at thc South Huron Rec Centre on Saturday night. The Chiefs skated to a 3-1 victo- ry over thc New Hamburg Juve- niles. The Chiefs were strong through the first period and a half and then played at a slower pacc. Assistant coach bon Richardson at- tributed this to a lay over when thc A players had not skated for several days. Gavin Snell opened the scoring for the Chiefs from Blake Schadc at 8:44 of the first. A minute +23 into the second, Marty deBruyn made it 2-0 on a set up from Ted Hoffman and Gavin Snell. At 10:53 of the second, Ryan Soldan cashed in from Jeremy Stewart and Gavin Snell to make it 3-0. Midway through the third, New Hamburg scored their lone goal. On Sunday. the Juveniles trav- elled to Cayuga where they ground out a hard fought 4-3 victory. On the smaller ice surface, a physical Cayuga squad took away .Exeter's ability to move the pick around and skate freely. The Chiefs built a 3-0 lead and had to hang on to a 4-3 win. At 8:50 of the first, Ryan Soldan scored from Brian Richardson. Thirty-four seconds later, Paul Knight scored from a Ben Kaak pass and less than a min- ute later, Knight notched his second unassisted. At 13:49 of the third, Marty deBruyn gave the Chiefs a 4- 2 lead with Kaak assisting. Despite a good performance, the Chiefs had difficulty adjusting to a small ice surface. Two of Cayuga's three goals were deflected into the Exeter net by Exeter defensemen. The Chiefs begin Silver Stick play on Thursday at 9:15 p.m. in Mooretown.

This will be Mark Bell's first ap- Jeff MacLean from Exeter will pearance at a Junior "B" all-star represent the Kitchener Dutchmen in the Mid - Western Jr. "B" All-Star game, Mark Bell from Hensall will Represent the Strathroy Rockets at the Western -Ontario Jr. "B" All-Star game and Andy Glavin from Ste- phen Township will rep- resent the Port. Colborne Sailors at the Golden Horseshoe "Jr. B" All- Star game. This is MacLean's sec- ond time playing in the Jr. "B" all-star game. He made his first appearance playing for the Mid - Western South Conference year. MacLean has scored four goals and 22 assists with the Dutchmen in 27 games so far this season and is look- ing forward to having an- other opportunity to play among the best in the league. Recently, MacLean, 17, was drafted by the the Kitchener Junior "A" Rangers at the last OHL draft, he showed up for training camp but chose not to sign on with the Rangers to keep his op- tions open. MacLean said his marks are very good in high school and he has his eye on a US scholarship, but he ex- plained, he wouldn't be eligible to play college hockey if he played in the Junior "A" league. "I've decided an education comes first," said the six foot 200 Ib. de- fenceman adding it was a very dif- ficult decision to make. "Playing in the OHL is every kids dream, but • game. The 5"11 210 Ib. defenceman earned the honor of being one of only two players on his team chosen to play after scoring seven goals and 16 assists for Strathroy so far this season. "I was still surprised because there are a( lot of good players on the team," he said. Bell, 18, signed with Jeff MacLean the Strathroy Rockets last summer but has al- ready been delegated the role of assistant, captain. He played Jr "D" hockey last year and his role with the Hawks gained the atten- tion of Junior "B" scouts after earn- ing 15 points in 26 games during the regular season. Bell became a major force for the Hawks scoring nine goals and eight assists during the playoffs earn- ing the Best Defenceman Award. His performance helped Exeter to it's first O.H.A. Jr "D" cham- pionship in 20 years. Like MacLean, Bell is not dreaming about play- ing hockey in the OHL and is also keeping his eyes open for a US scholarship. "I'd rather finish my schooling. I think. an education is very im- portant," he said. Andy Glavin, 19, played in the Jr. "B" All-Star games in Welland and Fort Erie on December 28 and 29. Glavin, who attends Brock Uni- versity in St. Catharines, was fea- tured in the T -A on Dec. 23.
