By Ross Haugh The first annual Exeter Molting Hawks oldtimers hockey tournament on the just concluded weekend was an unqualified success. Not only was the brand of hockey excellent, but, visitors were happy with the operation of the tourney and the facilities at the South Huron Rec Centre. Most of the teams will be pleased to be invited again next year. The 12 teams were divided equally into A and B categories and the groupings were very competitive with only one of the two dozen games being a little lopsided. Five minutes of overtime failed to decide a winner in the B semi-final and final games and shoot-outs were necessary. The Zurich Has Beans were eliminated by East T.ondon in the penalty shot type of shoot -off and Hen- sall won the A championship in a similar situation. The shoot-outs are exciting and require complete concentration and a wide eye from the spectators as one player from each team in converging on the opposing goal tender at the same time. Former pro Jack Chipchase who plays regularly with the Molting Hawks scored the winner for Hensall on the fifth and final shot after only one of the first four scored for each team. Another highlight was the appearance of Reg Ham- mond of the London Intracity team .. The significance of this player was the fact the number on his sweater was the same as his age and it was 6912. That's right. He is 69 and a half years of age and took a regular turn on defence and certainly did his job in a very commendable manner. ' Congratulations to the Molting Hawks on handling an excellent tournament. All team members pitched in to take care of the wide variety of duties necessary in such a venture and the wives were right there providing great meals. Another coning up While on the subject of hockey tournaments, the scene switches to the south this coming weekend with the fourth annual Lucan Cup. A total of 16 teams will be at the Lucan arena for action beginning Friday night and continuing through Saturday and Sunday with a host of well-known players competing. The most impressive list of players is contained in the Mitchell lineup with ex -pros Walt Tkaczuk, Dennis Dupere and Tom Miller and former junior and senior stars Don Vipond, John Wilson and Dan Seguin. On the London Ted Dilts roster are fellows like Larry Riggin, Hugh Mitchell, Wally Keating, Pete Lochead and Randy English and Doug Latta, Paul Medd, Marty Wraith and Cec Nickles will be in the Lucan lineup. The A championship team, the one that goes through the tournament undefeated will receive the Lucan Cup and $1,000 and each team member will get a diamond ring. More honours The chances of the Ohio State Buckeyes making it to the NCAA championship hockey tournament in March continue to be high as the team is off to a flying start. Paul and Perry Pooley in their third year at the Col- umbus, U1uro school are contributing a lot to the success of the team. Paul leads his team and the league in scoring and Perry is third in the Buckeyes statistics. Added to this is the naming of Paul Pooley as the player of the week not only for his club, but, for the entire Central Col- legiate Hockey Association. Ohio State coach Jerry Welsh said Paul, an accounting -marketing major in the mainstay of the Buckeyes front line and does time on both the top power play and penalty killing units. Welsh went on to say, "Paul is off to his best start in a Buckeye jersey. If his record to date is projected over our 37 game schedule, the numbers should garner all -America recognition." After this bit on Paul was written we received another news release from Ohio State telling us Perry had a terrific weekend with four goals and four assists in two wins over Illinois and was named Buckeye player of the week. We will have more on these accomplishments next week. Different Lions The performance of the Detroit Lions Thursday afternoon and the British Columbia Lions three days later were quite contrasting. The Detroit club came up with their best perfor- mance Thanksgiving afternoon in walloping the Pitt- sburgh Steelers 45-3 while the BC Lions were lasing the Grey ('up to the Argos who waited 31 years to bring home a national title. Along with a Minnesota Vikings loss Sunday, they are tied with the Lions for first place and the two clubs meet in what could amount to a playoff battle Monday night at the Silverdome. While the Detroiters are hot, they have a jinx to overcome if they are to beat the Vikings Monday night. For the past eight years, the Lions have lost their first game after Thanksgiving.
