Toll Free 1-800-265-7034 A Times -Advocate, F.bruory 29, 1984 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Hawks are flying 'The latest edition of the Exeter junior Hawks is en- joying probably one of the best seasons of any local junior D club in recent history. .It was great to see Bob White again at the recent Western Junior D banquet at the South Huron Rec Cen- tre. Bob was the Hawks coach when they won the all - Ontario title in 1971-72. Ron Bogart, coach of the 1975-76 champions was also in attendance. Hawks goal tenders Pete Dearing and Dave Rook received trophies as the top netminders in the northern division and local defenceman Kris Bedard was nam- ed the best defenceman in the same division. We had the'rivilege of sitting beside convener Don Yeck of Belmont at the recent Western Junior D ban- quet at the South Huron Rec Centre. Yeck told us he is really pleased with not only the quality of the brand of hockey being dished up in this area, but, also the great co-operation he gets from all club officials. He complimented Doc Campbell and Gord kirk for their organizing the annual banquet this year and Bob Taylor and his fellow Lucan Irish for their handling of the Junior D all star game each year. The convener said he continually gets calls from other leagues wanting to find out the secret of putting together such a successful all star game each year and at least three junior B leagues have copied the format for the annual event in Lucan. Getting back to the Hawks they seem to have the happy knack of being able to come back in the last half of all of their recent games with deficits as high as four goals and keep their winning streak intact. Their ability to keep the opposition off the scoresheet in the third period is now geting to be well known. According to‘- our memory, the Hawks goal tenders have allowed only one goal in the third period in their last seven outings. As the competition gets tougher along the playoff trail we would hope they don't depend completely on third period comebacks which have carried them to vic- tory so well to date. Pooley report Paul and Perry Pooley continue to enjoy excellent seasons this year with the Ohio State Buckeyes hockey club. Paul has already set three career scoring records with the Buckeyes in addition to currently leading the nation in collegiate scoring. At the last report he has 27 goals and 51 assists for a point total of 78. In the career Buckeyes scoring departments, Paul leads with 109 goals, 143 assists and 252 total points. Perry is second in Ohio State scoring with 64 points and in a recent game scored his 18th power play goal of the year. Sure makes a difference The absence of Wayne Gretzky for about five games made a big difference in the performance of the Edmon- ton Oilers in the NHL. While the famous No. 99 was away the Oilers were unable to win and in one game were blanked 11-0 by the Hartford Whalers. Since Gretzky's return, the Oilers are back to their winning ways and the Brantford native has been very productive in the scoring department with games of four and five points. While the Oilers have a lot of talented performers it seems they need Gretzky to put it all together. ' Horsemen a wards The recent announcement of the winners of a number of awards for 1983 at Western Fair Raceway in London included a number of area harness racing enthusiasts. Named horseman of the year was 43 year-old Fred Sadler of Sylvan. Starting from a small scale in 1969 Sadler went to full time in the racing game three years ago and now has a stable of 22 horses, mostly his own. In 1983 in 499 racing starts as a driver, Sadler had 85 victories, 70 secorfds and 75 thirds. The top non -driving trainer of the year was Don Beatson of Granton. With horses such as Canadian Speed, Willvan Dasher, Slick Ferra and Kawartha Queue, Beatson won 30 races, had 33 seconds and 23 thirds in 148 races. - The claiming horse of the year was DG Baby, owner, trainer and driven by Dennis Morrissey, former- ly of Crediton and now of London. About a month ago, DG Baby who became well known as a half mile dash pacer was claimed at Flamboro by Don Crossett of Tillsonburg.
