Against North Middlesex, the Hawks led 2-1 after the first period thanks to goals from Thomas Harnett and Jake Jef- frey. The Stars then exploded for six goals in the second period, adding four more in the third period. Jeffrey scored Exeter s lone remaining goal in the game, finding the net 7:20 into the third period. Nov. 29 against Tavistock, the game was tied 1-1 after the first period. Tav- istock s Mike Davis opened the scoring but was answered by Exeter s Steve Gin- gerich on an unassisted goal with rough- ly 2:30 remaining. Exeter s Thomas Harnett opened the scoring in the second period on a goal assisted by Paul Bowden and Jake Jef- frey. Tavistock answered back with two goals, leaving the score 3-2 in Tavistock s favour after the second period.

Hawks player Scott Muirhead scored the winner roughly three minutes into the extra period. The goal was unas- sisted. Exeter plays two away games this week, heading to Thamesford Friday and Parkhill Saturday for a rematch against North Middlesex. Mohawks beat Tavistock, struggle against Lucan and Goderich By Ben Forrest TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF EXETER The Exeter Mohawks beat the defending champion Tavistock Roy- als 5-3 Saturday at the South Huron Rec- reation Centre. The Mohawks got off to a slow start, surrendering three goals in the first peri- od and lacked energy according to coach Mark Livermore. We were just going through the mo- tions, he said. It was like a rec league game out there. We weren t hitting, we weren t doing the necessary things for competitive senior hockey, and it showed after the first. Exeter managed two quick goals in the second period, however, bringing the score to 3-2. The Mohawks tied the game in the third period, then took the lead with about nine minutes left, later adding an empty net goal to ice the victory. Livermore noted the Mohawks had a short bench but persevered in spite of it. Being shorthanded may have been a factor in losses earlier in the week against Lucan and Goderich. The Mohawks played at Lucan Nov 26, losing 4-3 in overtime. As was the case against Tavistock the team started flat, Livermore said. Exeter trailed 3-0 after the first period but scored one goal in the second period and added two more in the third period to tie the game. Lucan scored the winning goal with about 12 seconds remaining in over- time. The guys played very hard to battle back, said Livermore. We ve just got to get off to a better start. Livermore added he was pleased with his team s effort in the game s final 40 minutes, but noted the team had only three lines and six defencemen during the game. Fatigue may have been a factor, he said. On Nov. 28 the Mohawks travelled to Goderich to play the Pirates and lost 6-4. Exeter led 1-0 after the first period and 4-3 after the second but ran out of gas in the third period, surrendering three goals. Goderich has one of the league s larger 0ult, -w viii ,,19Tti Go a, am loh, a the. 9oQ-eM, oh. 900, ea. value value value for $55+ tax for $100+tax for $150+tax Available at our winter office location: spdnoff iGe 92 Main St. S.

We had a couple of leads during the game that we just couldn t hang onto, he said. Still, he doesn t feel the Mohawks were overmatched against Goderich. I believe that we can compete with any team, but when you re running into penalty problems and not capitalizing on power plays, those things come back to bite you, he said. Livermore sees plenty of talent when he looks at his club, noting that when players show up for games, they want to play. They have to start showing the way I know that they can play and the way they have played in the past, he said. We have to keep pressuring the other team and shutting them down. Every- one s got to be doing their job out there on the ice. It trickles down from defence, goalies, forwards, to coaching. If we re not playing good then I may not be doing a good job on the bench, he added. So we all have to know our job and do the best we can.
