That's the secret to building a successful hockey team and that's what the Exeter Hawks have done. Prior -to their first exhibition game on Saturday, the Hawks of the OHA Junior Development League had second -year Chris Lyn - Irish face flrst test in Lakers Goalie Jason Glavin from Stephen Township signs on By Fred Groves T -A staff LUCAN - They were lined up in the hallway in Lucan last Wednes- day night waiting the news from Irish coaches Scott Bogart and Jeff Dalrymple. . • The rookie OHA Junior Develop- ment League coaches began mak- ing cuts last week as they prepare for the 1994-95 season. One choice they made quickly was to sign goalie Jason Glavin who helped the Stephen Township Minor Hockey Association ban - Shuffleboard Exeter September 7 3 game winners Pearl McKnight Joe Gosar Laverne Stone 4 game winners Ruby Beaver Myraline Desjardine Ann Northey Grace Farquhar September 8 4 game winners Grace Farquhar Sena Gosar Jim Davis September 14 4 game winners 011ie Essery John Pepper Allen Berry 5 game winners Steve Hrapchuk Marge McCurdy Wilma Davis September 15 4 game winners Grace Farquhar June Hodgson Steve Hrapchuk 5 game winners Doris Miller Hugh McKay Doris Denham Hensall September 13 6 game winners Hazel McEwan Jim Davis John Pepper Hugh McKay Isabel Rogerson Thelma Thiel Ethel McMurtric Pat Davis 230 212 162 364 361 294 293 342 314 297 360 354 310 455 417 405 498 398 368 493 393 354 705 578 564 555 546 507 491 449 tams win the provincial title last year. Surprisingly, he is the first import (outside of the Lucan Irish drawing area), .they have signed in a long, long time. "We've got a real big drawing area," said Bogart. When the Irish open their pre- season schedule tonight against the defending cast league champions Pt. Stanley Lakers, they will still have 27 skaters and six goalies in camp. Bogart said he is very pleased with Glavin, "I like his size. He's not flashy and he gets the job done, he's serious." Among the six goalies still in camp is second -year Stuart Ashton who had a 4.07 goals against aver- age last year in his rookie season. Lucan is still waiting to sec where Steve Watson will be when the sea- son starts. "I think Steve Watson is still with the (London Junior 'B') Nationals. There's a battle for the other spot," said Bogart of who will share the duties with Glavin. When training camp opened, the Irish had four overagcrs in for- wards Greg DePrest, Scott Riddell and Steve Moore and defenseman Craig Brown available but Bogart has reported that Brown has not comc to camp and Moore was only out for one skate. With Brown not returning, the Irish have only one veteran de- fenscman in Kcith Robson. He'll anchor a rookie defense which will include at least one new nctmindcr in Glavin. Big winger: Last Wednesday night at the tryouts, the hopefuls were scrimmaging and at first, it didn't look as though they wcrc be- ing overly aggressive. But once they got into it, the body checks were being thrown. "I think there is more as they get comfortable," said veteran Steve Matthews who will be counted on to be a heavy hitter this winter. "There wasn't that much (hitting) the first couple of nights." The winger played two years for the Irish, went to Strathroy Junior 'B' for a year bcfore returning to Lucan last year. He doesn't know yet where he will fit in with this year's team. "I'm not really sure yet. I want to be a leader, I think I can help these guys out." In 33 games last year. Matthews had 11 points but spent 80 minutes in the penalty box. So far, he likes what he sees from thc rookies, "it looks like a great bunch of guys. Everyone is getting along." Tonight when the Irish open up the pre -season against the Lakers, who have come back to the west di- vision, Bogart isn't expecting any miracles. "They've (Lakers) been on the icc a while and have had two or three exhibition games." Lucan will travel to Port Stanley on Saturday and host Langton on Monday night. - LUCKY CHARMS Steve Matthews ... physical player back with Irish Tonight's game - The first pre- season contest for the Irish, game time 8:15 p.m. at the Lucan Arena against Pt.

The duo combined to beat Kin- cardine Kings 6-2 Saturday after - nam and the next day edged North Middlesex Stars 4-3. "I figured they would be there in the end." "It wasn't that easy," said Exeter coach -GM Dave Revington who had seven goaltenders in this years training camp. "I figured they would be there in the end. I wanted to get that tidied up first. There's a lot of other things to settle." On the blucline, Revington's de- cisions won't be that tough as he has seven still in camp and hasn't decided if all will stay around or shave the number down to six. Battling for spots arc veteran ovcrager Jamie Cornish along with returnees Mark Lynn, Greg Dal- rymple and Jason McBride and roo- kie Exeter Minor Hockey Associa- tion products Mark Bell, Trevor Taylor and Bill Hodge. "We'll have more than 20 guys around," said Revington who wants to keep a full lineup even when school, jobs, illness and injuries be- come a hampering factor. "A lot of things vary in and I have to do what's best for the team." Up front, Scan McCann and Ray Cousineau embarrassed the Junior 'C' Kings early in Saturday's game as they each scored once while Cousineau scored shorthanded from McCann. Talented forwards: There are nine returning forwards but a couple of them were outshone by thc rookies on the weekend so thc veterans may have to work real hard if they want to stay with the team. "I've only seen them play over a period of a week. By virtue of the fact they are veterans, they will get a longer look but because they've played here before doesn't mean they'll play this year," said Reving- ton. Among the rookies making im- pressions were Icft winger Chad Gilfillan who played a few games with the Hawks last season, Ste- phen Township's Jeff Glavin who had three assists on Saturday, Exet- er's Chris McDonald and Craig Corriveau from Goderich. "That's a good difficult situation to deal with. That's why it's going to take four exhibition games." One returning player who looked good and was throwing his weight around was winger-defenscman Brian Gardner who skated hard and dished out some hard hits. "He's been a very positive in- fluence," said Revington. "He played a game or two for me last year (in Senior 'A')." Revington and assistant coach Barry Baynham along with John Pryde come over from the Senior 'A' Exeter Mohawks and they are really showing their commitment to the Hawks. "We want to have as much local talent as possible but we have to think of the future, this is an on- going project," said Revington. He said the future does not mean 10 games down the road but even into next season. Exeter defenseman Trevor Taylor, (17) hauled down Kin- cardine's Tim Steen during Saturday's pre -season game.
