Juvenile hockey begins season Coach's main priority for the team is keeping them out of penalty box EXETER - The lrxeter Juvenile hockey team kicked off their 1995- 96 season with two solid victories in their new southern Counties League. The Juveniles, who are still of- ficially nameless, are 2-0 after beat- ing Ingersoll 6-1 Oct. 19 and Till- sonhurg 14-0 at home in the Rec Centre Saturday night. Eight different players shared the scoring duties for Exeter firing at will on a tired Tillsonhurg team that howed up shorthanded. Ben Geiger, Ben Armstrong, Press Lavier, Blake Schade, Trevor Taylor, Scott Brelley, Mat Sims and Derek Beckett combined for Exeter's goals. Last year the Juveniles enjoyed a successful season making the OMHA finals, howevet, the Exeter Juveniles are playing in a different league this year and have under- gone a complete purge behind the bench. Head coach, Henry Debruyn, said he and his assistant coaching staff, Jeff Playfoot and Mark Glavin, are new to the team and predicting this year's outcome would be pre- mature. The Juvenile team has l9 players on the roster this year, un- like in previous years when filling out the team with numbers was a challenge. The age range for the Juveniles is 18 and 19 with the exception of three, 20 year-old overagers and Debruyn explained it is usually dif- ficult to get players in that age group because some are pursuing college or university careers out- side of town while others are play- ing Junior "D" or in recreational leagues. Another challenge the new coaching staff faces is keeping the players disciplined and focused on the game. "The Juveniles have usually been considered a brawling league and we're trying to change that image," said assistant coach Jeff Playfoot. But if Exeter's game against In- gersoll is any indication, this may be a bigger challenge then they thought. The Juveniles logged 48 penalty minutes with more players sitting Zurich YBC Juniors win awards Ron Dann ZURICH - Three Zurich Town and Country Satur- day Y.B.C. league junior age (11-13) boys won awards at the Bluewater Master -Junior Regional four game rolloffs Sunday at Molesworth Lanes.

Hawks remain undefeated The Exeter Jr "D" Hawks go on an eight game winning streak Chris Skalkos T -A staff EXETER - A pair of wins over the weekend has boosted the Exeter Hawks' winning streak to eight consecutive games as they remain undefeated in their Junior "D" league. The Hawks beat Wellesley 6-3 Sunday after nudging Seaforth 6-5 in a nailbiting overtime gamc at the Recreation Centre Friday night. Assistant coach, Jcff Dalrymple, said this is the best start the Hawks have had in years and they are the only undefeated team in the league. Dalrymple credits the efforts of Scan McCann and goalie Darren Kints for pulling the team to where they are now. McCann scored three goals and earned an assist in the game against Wellesley and he scored the game winning goal un- assisted in the overtime thriller against Seaforth. "He's our best forward right now. McCann has been playing excep- tionally well contributing in every game," said Dalrymple. Nathan Burns, Jeff Glavin, Jeff Mauer, Chris Kennedy and Shayne Robinson also chalked up goals be- tween the two games. On the other end of the rink, Kints has been a consistent and solid goalie utilizing a fast glove hand with his stand-up style of play between the posts. "He's playing up to his fullest po- tential and it shows. He kept us in the game against Lucan when we were outplayed in the first period," Dalrymple said. In the early stages, the Hawks looked Shakey in their own end lacking defensive punch; however, coaching staff made some changes and moved forward Dan Taylor to a defensive position. "Taylor is the type of 'hockey player that plays with a lot of emo- tion and he can think ahead of the play, that's what we needed back there," said Dalrymple. The success the Hawks are en- joying is also being enjoyed by Ex- eter hockey fans who have been coming out to see the Hawks play their home games at the Rec Centre on Friday nights. An average of 300-400 spectators can be found at any given home game and as the Hawk's winning streak continues the number in- creases. "This is the best fan support Exet- er has seen in a while, especially for this league," said Dalrymple. This year's 8-0 start doesn't come as a surprise to team executives who saw the team finish third over- all last season rounding out the sta- tistics as the second highest goal scoring team in the league. Three of last year's top scorers, Robinson, Kennedy and McCann returned to play again for the Hawks and they are repeating their performance racking up points on a regular ba- sis. "We knew in training camp we were going to have a lot of talent," said Dalrymple. Exeter will play two home games this weekend when they host Bel- mont on Friday and Mitchell on Sunday before they embark on a gruelling five game road trip. After this weekend the Hawks will not play in Exeter until November 24. The Hawks are going into the weekend games heavily favored and a pair of wins would pull their undefeated streak to an impressive 10 games. Dalrymple said the players are not letting their record go to their heads and they are still taking it one game at a time. "There is going to be a loss even- tually. I just hope it comes at a good time," he said. in the penalty box than on the bench in what Debruyn called a "penalty -fest." "I know I have some good hock- ey players here, and as long as I can keep the penalties down J can teach them some hockey," he said. "If we can keep the players under control and out of the penaity box I think we will see some good hock- ey," added Playfoot. "I don't mind them dropping their gloves to let off some steam just as long as they know when to do it." The Exeter juveniles will embark on a four game road trip before they play at home against Cayuga November 25. "Anyone for tennis?" EXETER - The tennis courts located beside Exeter Public School have just received a face-lift. The Exeter lions Club, had the surface re -paved on Oct. 20, ironing out the cracks and bumps which, in the past, have prevented tennis players from enjoying a solid game of tennis. The lines are expected to be painted by early spring. VI Golf clubs enjoyed busy `95 season EXETER - As the cold weather slowly approaches golfers are get- ting ready to pack their clubs in for the season. Despite a few dry spells and some above average humid weath- er, golfers and golf club owners agree this season was a good year for golf. The string of warm sunny week- ends brought golfers out in droves and an extended Indian summer in October kept them playing well into the fall season. Tournaments and invitationals proved to be popular as well this year providing area golf clubs with a much needed influx of golfers with some of them acting as fund- raisers for local charities. Janet Mason, owner the Exeter Golf Club said Ibis year two events, the JMR Electric and the `ffve Ilia /yloV(' a'Otietrote o7 Veri Truck Golf tournaments boast- ed over 100 golfers. Bayview Golf club owner Archie Masse said his annual Gillette Bay- view Tournament featured 140 golfers with the proceeds going to- wards the Zurich rest home and Ironwood Golf Club held their popular Shriners Fundraiser tourna- ment created to help child burn victims in shriners hospitals. This year members of the acrobatic fly- ing team, the Snowbirds participat- ed while they were in the area pre- paring for an air show. Dave Scatcherd, owner of Oak- wood Golf Club in Grand Bend said his biggest event was the an- nual Scatcherd Golf Classic, a two-day tournament featuring over 300 golfers. Next year he says he will attempt to host 1000 people for dinner after the tournament. Other than special events or club league tournaments, Sunday re- mained the most popular day to golf, and the most common excuse given to employers by die-hard golfers on a nice afternoon work day to account for their ahsence, was the 24 hour -flu bug. f Hunter -Ducar Auto Body 284-2888 St. Marys wxxxxxxzxxxxxixxzxxzzzzzz xxxxx 14 ►i 14 14 ii 14 14 14 ii 14 14 ►1 ►1 Rob Dale Motors is your authorized dealer for Oilskin ° rust protection.
