Brydges Bulldogs to drop their record to 3-6-0. The Hawks are tied with Lucan for last in the Morenz Division with six points. North Middlesex continues to lead the Morenz Division with 16 points and is tied with Lambeth for first in the conference. The two teams are two points back of Tavistock which leads the league with 18 points. Despite the loss, Hawks coach Art Larivee said the Hawks played well and are continuing to improve. "We have 10 or 11 players who are first year junior hockey players. It's going to take a while to get everyone on the same page." Larivee added the Hawks haven't been able to get both offence and strong goaltend- ing on the same nights. Despite some inconsistent refereeing, Larivee said the officiating will sort itself out over the course of the sea- son. "We're all playing with the same set of rules and the same refs. That will figure itself all out." The Hawks have a pair of games this weekend with Lucan visiting Friday night at 8:30 p.m. before Exeter visits Lambeth Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Skating seminar — A fall skating seminar was held Oct. 4 in West Lorne at the West Elgin Skating Club with several local skaters attending.
