The at�notlncenlent that Exeter will again
have an interitlediate hockey team will meet with
appraval from. the he old, stalwarts who enjoy watch-.
ing the locals in action, but it should also .create
rebirth for the popular sport in this area.
Over the past few years, when Exeter eras
int orcin • layers front all seetions of the coulitry,
P gplayers
p eo ple stayed away in
droves, despite the fast. this
s
Was top notchhockey.
Most of these people claimed they didn't go
to. the arena because they didn't know the players
on the Exeter team, and weren't interested in sup.
porting an import team, We can see where this at-
titude may be justified, but it will be a different
story this year.
. ry th yea
The Exeter team will be strictly a homebrew
outfit, enlisting the services of pucksters from Ex-
eter and the surrounding areas. Players will only
be allowed to play for Exeter if it is the closest
town for which they are eligible to play.
All local players will be given a chance to
vin a spot on this club and they won't have to from
coni-
'. I.
pate with the usual. long list of top players f
other centres.
Naturally, this won't produce as good a team
as we have had in the past, but there are several
good youngsters in town who should put up a good
brand of hockey, now that they will have a chance
to prove themselves,
The formation of this elub was due mainly
to the untiring efforts of Don "Boom Boom" Gra-
vett. He canvassed all the players in the area to
make sure they wanted a team and then talked
several supporters into forming an executive.
Neil Campbell, Ted Chaffe and Harry
/Others all served on last year's booster club and
carried most of the load along with one or two
other members. If they continue to give of their
time as they have in the past, things should run
smoothly.
They will be helped by Stan Whiting, one
of the most faithful of Exeter's supporters in the
past.
We haven't heard how they propose to raise
some funds to get this club rolling, but we trust
that hockey fans will give them their complete
support. The expenses will be down considerably
to what they have in the past, so if everyone gives
a bit is should go a long way.
SHOULD BE GOOD LEAGUE
Although the entry deadline hasn't been
reached yet, the teams that appear to be joining
should provide for a good league that will make
for close competition and rivalry.
Centralia and, Clinton airports are back in
the fold after a few years absence and will be
welcomed starters. F;'0 Norm Poire is handling
the organization work at CE and we know he will
do a good job. His counterpart in Clinton is F/0
Dick Allan, who has been the big push behind
organizing the league.
Lucan-Ilderton Combines will be one of the
stronger teams in the grouping, with many of their
players back from last year. With names such as
Collings, O'Neil, Scarborough, Urbshott, Storey,
Wraith, etc., etc., it will keep the other teams jump-
ing to keep up with the Irish.
The other possible entries include the 2nd
B.CRC from London, Seaforth and Forest, This will
make a compact league, without any long hauls,
and we feel fans will be well satisfied with the
calibre of play.
However, all these teams are operating on
limited budgets, and so the fans will have the final
say as to whether or not it will be successful,
PLENTY OF ACTION HERE
With. Centralia and Exeter intermediate
squads and the Exeter junior Hawks using the local
ice pad, fans will be able to travel up to see hockey
almost any night of the week.
This will be a slight drawback for all three
squads, but should be a boon to fans, They will
naturally give their main support to the team that
puts on an all-out effort every time they are on
the ice, and if the teams realize this, they will
strive a bit harder to keep their fans.
So you'll have to hustle fellows.
