T-A photo Huron Park minors bring back Michigan trophy Good hockey Sunday night's Ontario Hockey Association Continental Senior game between the Lucan-Ilderton Jets and the Durham Huskies provided the largest crowd of the season with an excellent brand of hockey. This series was completed in Durham Tuesday night and results will be found elsewhere on these sports pages. Probably the highlight of Sunday's game was the fact the two teams who usually provide a hard hitting brand of hockey went more than 34 minutes before any penalties were called. Joe Grundy of Durham and Barry Baynham of the Jets got into a small skirmish, These were the only penalties in the entire game called by referee Frank Slota. The Jets had a rather poor start and with the outcome of the game one could say a poor finish, but they played well in between. Barry Baynham turned in an excellent performance with solid defence work and good rushes into enemy territory. Bill Bourne was also strong at the blueline. Despite several wanderings outside his net Lorne Daer kept the Jets in the game with great goal tending. On one oc- casion in overtime he stopped three consecutive Huskie shots from in close. Regardless of the outcome of the series, either club should give the Stratford Perths a real battle for the league championship. Off to a good start The many sports fans who met and talked to John Hiller at this year's Lions club Sportsmen's Dinner here in Exeter will be pleased to learn he is off to a flying start in the first week of the American baseball league schedule. Hiller, a native of Scarborough, Ontario set a big league record by compiling 38 saves as a relief pitcher in the 1973 season. This year John seems to be starting right where he left off last year. The Tigers won two of their first four games and John was the winning pitcher on both occasions having taken over the pitching duties in the late innings with the score tied or his club behind. Hiller's performance along with the batting of veteran Al Kaline appear to be the only bright spots on the Detroit horizon this year. Kaline has taken over the designated batter spot in new manager Ralph Houk's line-up and responded well in the first four games with a batting average of more than .400. The Tiger management did very little in the way of player changes over the winter respiteand appear satisfied to go with basically an "over the hill" team. Another bit of good news in the first week of the baseball campaign was the performance of Chatham's Fergy Jenkins in his first start as an American leaguer. Fergie who gained more than 20 wins for six straight seasons with the Chicago Cubs made his first start with his new club, the Texas Rangers. The win for Jenkins was not an ordinary one. He allowed only one hit and faced only 28 batters in the entire game which .jmnly, one,momthan the absolute minimum in a nine *ink game: Win southern championship The Roanoke Valley Rebels "Won • the Southern hockey league championship, Saturday night with a 3- 2 win over the Charlotte Checkers. Jack Chipchase of Hensali is a stalwart member of the Rebels team. In addition to being named to the league's first all-star team Jack was also named the most popular and most inspirational player by Roanoke fans. The Rebels were forced to win the last two games to win the title in a full seven games. Love in sport An interesting article appeared in the April issue of Sports and Fitness Instructor which we feel is worth passing on to our readers. It was written by Johnn Fulton, coach of the varsity hockey team at Humber College. WHAT is a word like "love" doing in sports jargon? Bart Starr used it frequently when he talked about his association with Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers. It seems like a strange word for athletes who are in a constant physical struggle to be using to describe their team. "Love" is something every team needs but few develop. As each new season approaches many coaches and managers feel this is the year their team will go "all the way." Optimism is rampant throughout the league. As games take their toll problems develop. There has never been a team that has not had problems — when you throw any number of people together there has to be conflict between different types of individual personalities. As long as there is a winningprogression athletes usually seem to stay happy but when the team starts to lose, troubles surface. Some may feel that since they are not win- ning they will try to get as much out of it for themselves as possible. This only makes a bad situation worse. It is easy to be on a winner; but when trouble lies ahead, are the players ready to stand together to fight it off or do they fold and start complaining and blaming each other? How easy it is to criticize others for your mistakes. " It is one thing to have spirit. But "love," as Starr talked about it, is something much more. A team can get by for only so long on natural ability . In November, 1970, Montreal Alouettes won the Grey Cup. The word that was thrown around in the dressing room after the game was "love." These players were the same ones who gave away the football 58 times during the regular schedule, including 37 interceptions and 21 fumbles, ending up third in the standings. How does a team win the big one with such a record? The answer is that they were a unit; their failures did not destroy their togetherness and because of this they were able to bounce back and keep going. They suffered together, socialized together and fought together. In short there were no divisions among this team — no cliques or splits to hurt them. Few observers gave them much Of a chance to beat the more experienced Calgary team — but outsiders didn't know that this dub was as one: if you hurt one member, you hurt them all. Such victories are only possible when athletes begin caring about each other and are willing to sacrifice their t:oWri wants for the good of the team. This is the meaning of "love" in sport. Few teams find it, but it is essential for championship performance when the going gets tough, by Tom Lessard Saturday approximately 200 sports minded players and fans from Huron Park and area loaded into three buses and cars to travel to the auto capital of the United States. A suburb called Royal Oak was our destination, bring back the trophy was our cry. Thanks to the support of our fans and the exceptional talent of our players, we did just that. For those of you that have notheard,I will try to enlighten you on the outcome. On January 26 the good people of Royal Oak, Michigan brought an entourage of four teams of tough, well disciplined hockey players to compete with our lads in a total goal home and home tournament for a beautiful trophy, which was donated jointly by Mr. Larry Siebert .of Royal Oak and the Huron Park Minor Hockey Association. When they returned home we were ahead by the narrow margin of 15 to 13. Not much of a lead we felt. In order to bolster our chances in the return match, the coaches of the Atoms and the house league All Stars pitted each others teams in a couple of games, which proved to help our little guys as the outcome of the first two matches at Royal Oak will bear witness to. The house league All Stars battled to a 2-2 tie whilst the Atoms fought a see-saw game but came out of it with a 4-3 deficit, Our peewees have been having a difficult time of it this year, not due to lack of courage or desire but mainly because of inex- perience, which will come. Their loss by the score of 6-2 put Royal Oak ahead on total points by four. The finale was performed by the finest bantam team in the area. Good goal tending, fast skating, ability to play the puck and skill around the net proved to be the undoing of their opponents. The 8-1 decision gave our lads a three goal edge and enough to bring home the trophy. A jubilant but very tired group endured the 'three hour jourii§y back home to a well earned rest? Huron Park is proud of all the' players, coaches, executive and fans who have given us a winter of fun and activity. Plan rec group A party of interested residents travelled to Toronto Wednesday, where they were met by Jack Riddell, MPP, who in turn arranged a meeting with Mr. Waddell of the Ontario Development Corporation. The group discussed the acquisition of the curling club as a social club and teen town under the sponsorship of the yet to be formed Huron Park Sports Association (which will be a non profit fund raising organization whose sole purpose is to raise monies for the activities for all minors in the community). The hiring of a Recreational Director as an overseer of the sports facilities and activities by 0.D .C. Was also a major part of the agenda. To keep everyone informed as to what is in the plans, a meeting is to be held at the J. A. D. McCurdy School auditorium at 7:30, April 15. Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd. Grain • Feed • Cement Building Supplies Coal 228-6638 The Lucan-Ilderton Jets were eliminated from further play in the Ontario Hockey Association Continental Senior league playoffs in Durham Tuesday night. The Jets who held a com- fortable three games to one edge at one stage of the series dropped a 6-1 decision to the Durham Huskies Tuesday in the seventh and deciding game of the semi- final series, In Ilderton Wednesday night, the Jets rallied from behind to score a 8-7 win to take a two game lead. Friday night in Durham the Huskies triumphed by a score of 4-2 and they tied the series with a 4-3 overtime win in Ilderton Sunday night before a crowd of 1,612, the largest of the season, A quick start The Huskies got off to a flying start in the first period on home ice Tuesday with four goals and were never really threatened for the balance of the game, Gary Sproul, Don Vipond, Mayo Paquette and Joe Grundy scored for the Huskies in the first 20 minutes. The only Jets scoring spurt in the entire game came at 16:13 of the second period when defen- ceman Bill Bourne connected on a play originated by speedy Jamie Robb. Dale Rahn and Paquette completed the Durham scoring with single goals in the third stanza. A crowd of about 1,300 was in attendance including a large number from the Lucan, Ilderton and Exeter areas. Referee Bill Divorski handed out nine minor penalties with the Huskies taking six. Close exciting action Sunday's game in Ilderton won by the Huskies in the 14th minute of sudden-death overtime provided plenty of exciting action for the large crowd. Both goalies, Brian Caley of Durham and Lorne Daer of the Jets turned in good performances to keep the score at a low level. Loose defensive play by the Jets behind their own net allowed the Huskies to score at 1:40 of the opening period. Drew Haldane was the marksman. Mike Jackson made it 2-0 for the Huskies with a successful shot at 4:09. Both teams missed good scoring chances in the balance of the first and the first portion of the middle session. Barry Baynham who turned in a top notch effort throughout the long game found the range on the first Jets score at 12 minutes of the second period. He was able to reach out on a slide in front of the Durham net and deflect a pass from Steve Proctor. Jacques Cousineau also assisted. Less than two minutes later the game was all even as Jack Nairn completed a three-way passing effort with Rick Fifield and Barry .Baynham. The only penalties of the game were called at 14:47 of the second by referee Frank Slota as Joe Grundy was sent off for five minutes for fighting and Baynham of the Jets two minutes for roughing. Late in the period, Jet goalie Lorne Daer in attempting to stop a Durham breakaway came out near the blueline and lost his stick. An alert Jamie Robb was able to clear the puck from the net area until Daer returned, He didn't recover his stick for , about 40 seconds. The Jets moved in front 3-2 at 5:10 of the third period as ,Baynham chalked up his second goal of the game. This time he picked up passes from Jack Nairn and Doug Galloway and moving into Durham territory faked a pass back to Nairn and let a good shot from about 20 feet out which eluded Brian Caley. The Huskies tied the score with about six minutes remaining in regulation time on a shot by Mayo Paquette. Each team missed good op- portunities in the overtime period before Chuck Nieseniendedlthings with a good high shot from straight in front of the net just inside the blueline. In Durham Friday night, the Huskies scored two goals in the first seven minutes of play and were never headed as they skated to the 4-2 victory. The first two scores by the Huskies came on effective power plays with Chuck Niesen and Dale Rahn pulling the triggers. At 13:25 of the first frame, the Jets hit the scoreboard for the first time as Rick Fifield flipped the puck high over goalie Gord Becker from in close. Bill Fairbairn and Bill Bourne helped set up the play wtih the Jets enjoying a one man advantage. Each team scored one goal in the second session. Former Mitchell, junior star Don Vipond hit the mark for Durham while Barry Baynham was the Jets marksman on a long shot from the point. Jacques Cousineau and Jamie Robb assisted. The only goal of the third period came at the 13:90 mark and was fired by Gary Sproul of the Huskies. The Jets took 10 of the 18 minor penalties called. Galloway leads Jets win Veteran Doug Galloway scored two goals in the last six minutes of play in Ilderton Wednesday night to give the Jets a come- from-behind 8-7 victory and a three games to one lead in the series. A productive third period provided 10 of the 15 goals in the game. The Jets took a first period 2-1 lead on goals by Barry Baynham and Rick Fifield. The first score came as Pete Loveless stole the puck from a Durham performer, faked a shot and passed back to Baynham, who made no mistake with a good 20 foot shot. Rick Fifield was johnny-on-the- spot to bang his own rebound into the net after Brian Caley made a good stop. The only first period Durham marker came from the stick of Dale Rahn at 18:15. The Jets missed several other excellent scoring opportunities. Jamie Robb just missed the net on a power play attempt and set Rick Fifield into the clear with Steve Proctor in the penalty box but Caley rose to the occasion, Each team scored once in the second period. Pete Loveless finished off a good passing play with Doug Galloway and Bill Bourne and Joe Grundy replied for the Huskies. Goals came thick and fast in the third period. The Huskies, on the strength of goals by Mayo Paquette, Joe Grundy and Jim Aiken, moved into a 5-3 lead before the six minute mark was reached. In a span of 30 seconds Jack Nairn and Chuck Niesen traded goals and then Pete Loveless scored twice to tie the score at 6- 6. Don Vipond put the Huskies into a temporary lead with a successful shot at 12:19 and then Doug Galloway went to work and scored twice to end the scoring and give his club the win.
