PORT STANLEY - A year ago the Port Stanley Lakers only lost two
regular season games and made it all the way to the OHA Junior De-
velopment Hockey League finals where they bowed to Mitchell.
Saturday night, the Lakers were beaten 6-4 by the new and improved
Exeter Hawks. The Hawks, sporting a new coach and a dozen rookies to
compliment thcir 13 returnees will try to make it two straight Friday
when they host the Lucan Irish at the South Huron Recreation Centre at
8:30 p.m.
"They (Hawks) were pretty positive. The fact we stayed disciplined in
the third period was the difference," said Revington.
Exeter got a lot of mileage out of its veterans in the regular season
opener as Ray Cousineau scored shorthanded and the score was tied 3-3

after 40 minutes as second -year winger Mark Livermore connected
twice.
A year ago Livermore had 13 goals in his rookie season, a lot of those
coming when he teamed with Nathan Burns. However, this year Rev-
ington is experimenting with his line combinations early and had Bums
playing with a couple of different combinations.
The third period belonged entirely to the second -year centre Burns as
he fired the natural hat trick including one on the powerplay.
One of the duos Burns was grouped with was Cousineau and Steve
Farquhar while Livermore was with veteran Sean McCann and rookie
Chris Kennedy.
Look for that trio to score a ton of goals this year as Bums had 27 tal-
lies a year ago in his rookie campaign, McCann had 37 goals and Ken-
nedy, coming over from the Wingham Junior 'C' Ironmen is also an of-
fensive threat.

Irish bow to Cents 6-3

SEAFORTH - It wasn't the way
they wanted to start out.
Friday night in Seaforth, the Lu -
can Irish lost their 1994-95 regular
season opener 6-3 to the Ccnte-
naires.
The Irish will look for win num-
ber one tonight when they host the
North Middlesex Stars tonight and
have a big game in Exeter on Fri-
day with the Hawks.
When the puck dropped to kick
off the OHA Junior Development
season Friday night, the Irish burst
out of the gate and the teams bat-
tled to a scoreless first period.
"They were real quiet between
the first and second period. The ef-
fort wasn't half as good as it was
Wednesday in the pre -season
game," said Irish co -coach Jeff Dal-
rymple.
Lucan had a 1-2-1 exibition
record which was capped with a 5-
5 tie with Thamesford Trojans last
Wednesday.
Against the Centenaires, Irish
rookie puckstopper Jason Glavin
didn't have much help or luck in his
debut. While he was beaten with a
long shot from near the red line, the
other five that got past him weren't
entirely his fault.
"The other five goals were break-
downs in front of the net. I think he
played solid," said Dalrymple.
One of the goals was redirected
off of a leg, one was a Scaforth
powerplay, there was a breakaway
and a couple of times the Lucan de-
fenseman simply weren't clearing
the man in front of the net.
Second -year forward Travis
Stirfthcombc.;was in the penalty
box during the powcrplay goal and
nearly cost another goal in thc third
period when again sitting in the sin
bin, the Cents hit the post.
How will the Irish deal with
those who continue to take un-
necessary penalties like those by
Stinchcombe of which two were
roughing aftcr the whistle?
"Stay out of the box or you'll sit
on the bench," simply put by Dal-
rymple.
Trailing 5-2 after 40 minutes, the
Irish got a great effort out of over -

age centre Greg DePrest who is a
bit of a surprise to be in the lineup
as it was earlier suspected he had
mono.
"He wants to play. He's going to
play if he feels okay," said Dal-
rymple of DePrest who has been
the club's leading scorer the fast
couple of years.
In thc season opener, he had two
goals and assisted on Steve Mat-
thews goal. DePrest's first tally was
a very quick shot past Scaforth
goalie Tim Swan and the- other he
went to the net and slipped the
puck between Swan's legs.
Friday's game was fairly quiet in
the first period for referee Paul Pe-
trie but things got a little ugly later
on. There were no fights but Petrie
enforced the roughing after thc
whistle.
Scalbrth% Steve Mclnally was on
the receiving end of a unnoticed
spear by Lucan's Will Giles and
late in the game Mclnally was giv-
en a five-minute high sticking pen-
alty which also saw a Seaforth
trainer ejected.
"Wc have two veteran lines up
front. Our goaltending will be a
strength," said Dalrymple of Glavin
and Rob -Hotson who played Junior
'B' in Stratford a ycar ago.

"Kennedy had a solid game and so did Sean McCann," said Reving-
ton. "I changed the lines in the third and shortened the bencb near the
end."
Revington said the Lakers got a little frustrated in the final 20 minutes
which resulted in the visitors enjoying a few powerplays. A year ago,
Pt. Stanley, who were first in the east division but have returned to the
west side, had three players with over 100 minutes in penalty.
It appears as though Lakers coach Many Carroll will continue to have
a physical team. In a pre -season game with the Irish, the Lakers and Lu -
can only had 11 skaters left come the third period.
"It was rough enough. They (Lakers) got stupid at the end while we
were fairly disciplined," said Revington.
Both teams fired about 40 shots at the perspective cages but when the
final horn went, it was Exeter's Chris Lyndon picking up his fust win of
the year.
"We had them 6-3 then they pulled their goalie and scored one very
late," said Revington.
Lyndon has a bit of good luck on his side as he started the first game
last season against the North Middlesex Stars and returned home from
Parkhill with a shutout.
