This coming weekend, the Exeter Molting Hawks will be staging what they hope is their first of many oldtimer tournaments and the following weekend, the battle for the Lucan Cup goes on at the Lucan Communi- ty Centre. The Molting Hawks have invited 12 top notch oldtimer teams from Western Ontario to participate in the three day event which begins Friday night at the South Huron Rec Centre. In the oldtimers tournament six teams in the A divi- sion and six in the C class will play a total of three round robin games with the top four in each division advanc- ing to the semi-finals. • Things get underway Friday night with three games. East London Old Sports meet the Lambeth Blues at 7 p.m., London Old Ratz take on the Dorchester Mavericks at 8:15 and Goderich and Strathroy tangle at 9:30. These are the six A division teams. The six B teams which include the Zurich Has Beans, Hen -sail, Forest, East London Oldtimers, CFB London and London Intercity play the first three games Saturday morning starting at 8 a.m. There will be a total of 12 games Saturday with three more Sunday morning before the semi-finals get underway. The A final goes at 5:45 p.m. Sunday' with the B championship contest slated for 7:15 p.m. Organizers of the Lucan Cup tournament expect this year's fourth event of men's international all star hockey will be bigger and better than ever. We will have more information in next week's issue but one of the Lucan Cup committee John Hope tells us a lot of top notch players will be back including a number of ex -pros. The Mitchell Hawks featuring fellows like Don Vi- pond, Walt Tkaczuk, Charlie Robertson and Tom Miller will be participating along with the defending A cham- pion International Stick Hawks from Toronto. The winning team this year will again receive the Lucan Cup, $1,000 in cash and Lucan Cup diamond rings. The A runnerup will receive $600 and the B champs get the Village of Lucan trophy and $500. The six players named to the all star team will receive jackets provided by Molson's. Will the dome come? There is plenty of talk these days regarding a pro- posed domed stadium for Toronto and area to provide much more comfortable facilities for viewing profes- sional baseball and football and many other events. Currently the MacAulay committee is studying about six proposals from a variety of municipalities in and around Metro Toronto and we have received infor- mation on two. Our Kirkton friend Gerry Paul has sent along draw- ings and information on the proposed Trillium Dome which would be located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Highways 401 and 10, about five miles south of Brampton. This would certainly be an ideal location for sports fans in this area who would be at the site in about two hours without battling any city traffic. The Trillium Dome proposed by Harold Shipp and supported by Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion would be built on 360 acres of land which is now vacant farmland. Of this acreage about 165 acres would be re- quired to house the stadium and attendant parking. The Trillium Dome brief says it has the best transportation proposal anyone can submit and that the CNE proposal did not present a traffic study with their submission. Toronto Metro chairman Paul Godfrey is a strong supporter to build the new stadium at the present CNE site along the Lake Ontario waterfront and he will pro- bably carry a lot of weight in the final decision. A retractable roof is part of the Trillium Dome con- cept and the brief indicates the proposal puts no burden on the taxpayer - all other proposals do. Anyone wanting to support a domed stadium in this location is asked to contact the committee in charge with their desires. We lave the address and will be glad to pass it on to anyone interested in having easy access to profes- sional sporting •events in the very near future. The second press release we have received came in support of a domed stadium in Richmond Hill at the corner of Highway 7 and Yohige street. This site would be very accessible to residents of this area. More cook books This is the time of year when many publications come out with new versions of cook books. This year the National Hockey League is getting in- to the act and has already published a book which is now on the bookstands. It has the picture of a puck and the NHL crest on the front cover. The cook book complete with four colour glossy close- ups of NHL stars and the recipes they endorse sells for $9.95. The information and recipes are directed at youngsters from the ages of eight to 16 years in hopes that young people get starte(, on the road to good nutri- tion instead of acquiring poor eating habits that may result in serious health problems later in life. What young Toronto Maple Leaf fan could resist trying John Anderson's Solid Winger Greek salad or Borje Salming's Lady Byng vegetable stew or Rick Vaive's Captain carob -peanut butter snack.
