Exeter Hawks triple Parkhill 6-2
By Craig Bradford
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
EXETER — The Exeter
Jr. D Hawks hockey club
evened their record to 2-2
with a 6-2 home win in
Hensall over Parkhill
North Middlesex on Oct.
1.
The line of Jeremy
Geoffrey, Jason Grenier
and Jarrett Jeffrey was
hot combining for 10 of
the ` 14 scoring points with
Geoffrey scoring two
goals and two assists and
Jeffrey adding a goal and
three assists. Grenier
helped out on two goals.
Hawks coach Andy
Friyia added veteran
defenceman Ben McCann
had a solid game.
London's Ryan 011sen
made his first start in goal
for the Hawks and turned
aside 21 shots while
Exeter shooters threw 26
shots at Parkhill's net.
Friyia decided to make
the goaltending change
because he wasn't
pleased in the perfor-
mance of his two original
goalies from London,
Dean Kluke and Damon
O'Quinn.
Friyia has released
Kluke and O'Quinn while
011sen, 18, will assume
the number one netmin-
der spot and Exeter's
Ryan Sullivan will be his
backup.
011sen played for Friyia
while he coached the
London Rebels minor and
major bantam teams that
won two Alliance titles
and an all -Ontario title a
couple of years ago.
Friyia said 011sen "carried
the team" to those cham-
pionships.
011sen played for
Burford Jr. D last season
was in the Strathroy Jr. B
camp when Burford
decided to sign another
goalie before 011sen
returned from Strathroy.
Exeter's goals were
scored by: Christian
Stuckless (powerplay,
assisted by Geoffrey and
Jeffrey), Jeff Glover (from
Nick Regier), Geoffrey
(from Grenier and
Jeffrey), Ben McCann
(from Grenier and
Jeffrey), Jeffrey (from
Geoffrey) and Geoffrey
(shorthanded, unassist-
ed). The score was 3-1 for
Exeter after the first peri-
od and 4-1 after the sec-
ond.
The Hawks have two of
their key defencemen on
the day-to-day injured
list: Chris Chatterson has
a cut hand and Berton
Dykstra is having a re-
occurring jaw problem
(he broke it last season).
This week Exeter trav-
els to Mitchell on Oct.
and head to Lambeth. on
Oct. 10.

Jr. D Irish trample Thamesville 6-3
THAMESVILLE — The Lucan Jr. D
Irish hockey club walked into
Thamesford's own barn Oct. 1 and
trashed them 6-3.
The big difference in the game was
penalties — Thamesford was called for
20 infractions while the Irish received
only eight penalties. Lucan also scored
three of their goals on the powerplay.
"One of the keys to our win was our
team discipline," Irish co -coach Jason
Bukala said, adding he has been preach-
ing discipline to his players for the last
couple of years.
The turning point of the
game came when Matt
Thomp•;on scored a short-
handed goal just short of
four minutes into the sec-
ond pt • ied to tie the game
at 2-2. Assists on the g''i11
went to Corey Smith and
Kevin Dunbar.
The Irish played the game with a short
bench: only 10 forwards and five
defencemen. Rightwinger Mike Burns
was out with a cut elbow and defence -
man Jason Kyle has stretched ligaments
in a finger.
Thompson was one of the offensive
stars of the night with a goal and two
assists and Dunbar scored two goals and
had the one assist. Scott Wheatley and
Ryan Keating both contributed a goal
and an assist while Smith helped out on
two goals as did Chad Lambourn.
Other points went to Chad Greenlee
(scored Lucan's third goal) and Ben
Dobbie (assisted on the first goal).
Jon Wickens got the start between the
pipes for Lucan and saved 31 shots. The
Irish threw a total of 46 shots at
Thamesford goalie Craig Murrell who
faced 23 shots in the first period alone.
The score was 2-1 for Thamesford
after the first period and 4-
2 for Lucan after the sec-
ond.
"It was just a complete
team effort," Bukala said of
the win. "(We showed a)
phenomen, 1 work effort. It
was just awesome."
Lucan's record is now 1-1.
Tonight's home opener
versus Parkhill North Middlesex will by
a special night: the Irish will hoist their
'98/99 all -Ontario championship banner
to the rafters and award last season's
players with their championship rings
Game time is set for 8:15 p.m. at Lucan
Arena.
The Irish will then travel to Seaford'
Friday.
"(We showed a)
phenomenal work
effort. It was just
awesome."
