The Hawks have announced that coach Art Larivee has resigned due to business com- mitments and is being replaced by assistant coach Deryk Howard. The Hawks were facing Mitchell Nov. 3 at the Rec Centre and were down early in the first period on the way to an 8-2 loss before an 8-4 loss in Mt. Brydges Nov. 4. Howard said he plans to make the Hawks into a three - line team. "Not due to anything else, but we are always on special teams...and it's hard to slot in a fourth line. They're never going to be happy, that fourth line because there's not as much ice for them. "Everybody in your lineup nearly has to be able to play a part in special teams, so that's what we're doing." Howard added he intends to retain the same game plan worked out at the start of the year. "We're working off the same forecheck and the same penalty killing." "We've got 28 or 29 games left, to get ourselves ready for playoffs and that's the way we're looking at it."

"I don't think the team played well enough in front of them to give them a fair test of their abilities. Eric has been able to make a lot of first saves for us, same as Steve. Right now, that is all I can ask of them. In Mt. Brydges Saturday night, Howard said despite being down 1-0 after the first period, the Hawks played a great period but played one of their worst periods in the sec- ond. "I called my team out and asked for no excuses...they came out and won the third period. We're going to move on to practice and into Wednesday's game like we won that third period and we just have to start putting three of those together." The Hawks will have two games to get back on the win- ning track this week starting tonight (Wednesday) when they visit West Lorne at 8:15 p.m. before visiting Lambeth Friday night at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, November 8, 2006 Panthers basketball EXETER — The South Huron District High School Junior Girls competed in the Woodstock Collegiate tournament on the weekend.
