All of these professional hockey teams believe that even pro players can still develop their hockey skills. That is why last summer each of them sent players to Huron Hockey School for instruction in skating. Some of Huron's graduates include Al Sims, Boston Bruins; Dave Williams, Toronto Maple Leafs; Allan Hangsleben, New England Whalers. Highlights of this Pro Program were the sub- ject of a Hockey Night in Canada feature televised earlier this season. But Huron Hockey School doesn't 7 only teach pros. We have special advanced programs for juniors, mid- gets and college players and a regu- lar program for players right down to the youngster just starting out. fic,—ft('°7 UCATORS HOCKEY 'SCHOOL .0•111181“•11.111••••••n ••••••11•11, So, if you are looking for a Summer Hockey School that is innovative and where the emphasis is on teach- ing, write us for a free brochure.

GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh, Record one shutout Win twice on weekend Bantams hold good lead in OMHA playoff CLOWNING BRONCOS — Before Sunday's exhibition game between the Exeter and Trenton, Michigan atom teams, two players from each club got together for a friendly chat. From the left are David Bell and David Shaw of the Broncos and Pad O'Brien and Jan Hayne of Trenton. T-A photo Mohawks get Sunday victory, stay alive in SH playoffs Thursday at the Huron Park arena at 8,30 p.m. with the fifth in Zurich Sunday night at 9 p.m. Brad Daters scored at 12.25 of the third period to give the Hawks their 5-4 Sunday win over Zurich. Gary Parsons and Bob Parsons assisted on the game winning goal. The score see-sawed back and forth with the Mohawks taking an early 2-0 lead only to have the Flyers roar back and move ahead 3-2. The first two Exeter goals came in a minute and 11 seconds midway through the first period. Jack Glover started the Exeter scoring on a three-way effort with Randy Decker and Paul Mason. Jim Pfaff made it 2-0 on an unassisted effort. Glover's goal Noel Skinner and Steve Jennison assisted on the first two scores by Pryde. Before the initial session was over, John Beer and Brian Taylor hit the mark for the Hawks. Ingram assisted on both and Brian Taylor picked up one assist. In the middle frame, Rick Mommersteeg, Rick Ingram and Noel Skinner were the marksmen for the Hawks while Kim McKinnon broke the scoring drought for the juveniles. McKinnon's scoring effort came on passes from Larry Clarke and Dave Regier. Assisting on the Hawks scores were Bill Van Bergen and Brian Taylor. The third period counting for the Hawks was taken care of by Gord Pryde, Rick Ingram and Brian Taylor. The only third period assist was credited to Gerald Weido. The final scoring for the juveniles late in the final stanza came from the sticks of Randy Regier, Ken Pinder and Tom Richardson. Regier scored on a three-way effort with Bryon Penhale and Larry Clarke and Richardson registered with help from Mike Desjardine and Cam Haist. Pinder scored on a pass from. John Van Gerwen. Penalties were fairly even with the Hawks taking 10 of 19 assessments made by referee Pat O'Brien. Hawks two games up in juvenile exhibition set Busy week 6 This weekend was probably one of the busiest this winter in Exeter as far as sporting activities were concern- ed and we are talking about quality as well as quantity, The Exeter arena was the scene of two Ontario Minor Hockey Association playoff games and three minor teams from Trenton, Michigan were in town, The Exeter bantams turned in two excellent perfor- mances against Amherstburg in OMHA bantam quarter- final play and appear to be heading for the second round, The bantam club headed by coach Ron Bogart and manager Bob Pooley now lead their Essex County opposi- tion two games to none with one game tied and can wrap up the series in Amherstburg Saturday night. If a fifth game is necessary it will be back in Exeter, Sunday. The six games between Trenton and Exeter minor club provided a lot of exciting hockey action. The home teams won four of the six contests as the local juveniles swept both games and the pee wee and atom teams broke even with their Michigan opposition. Saturday at the Exeter curling club topnotch curlers were in action in the annual Dashwood Industries cash bonspiel. This is one of the few cash spiels remaining in the province and continues to draw very high calibre corn- petitiors. The excellent brand of curling turned in by local sweepers was reflected in Saturday's final results as Ex- eter rinks finished one-two. Southpaw King McDonald and his foursome won the first draw and the overall championship. Placing second was the Jim Finnen skipped rink. Falling to the Exeter rinks were such well known rinks as Ken Buchan, Gary Weisz and Dr. John Reddon of Lon- don, Ray Tamoski, Kitchener and Bill Lousin, Sarnia. This coming weekend, an invitational mixed curling bonspeil will be held at the Exeter club with action starting Saturday morning at 9 a.m. While hockey and curling was high on the sports agen- da, many outdoor enthusiasts took advantage of ideal winter weather Sunday to participate in toboganning, skiing and snowmobiling. The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority spon- sored a Fun Day at the Parkhill conservation area Sunday afternoon and a good number were in attendance. The toboggan hills at Parkhill are excellent as well as the many trails very suitable for skiing. A goal a game Bobby Hull of the Winnipeg Jets has become the first player in the World Hockey Association to score 50 goals in 50 games and only the second man in professional hockey to do so. Not since Maurice, "The Rocket "Richard hit the goal a game for 50 games mark in the 1944-45 season has this been accomplished, Hull started his 50th game this year needing three goals and scored a hat trick in a Winnipeg 5-3 win over Houston. His 50th goal came with only ,a. minute left in the third period. Phil Esposito of the Boston Bruins has been close to the 50-50 mark several times. This year Espo fired 46 successful shots in the first 50 contests. Horrible weekend for goalies The weekend of February 22-23 will be one the goal tenders in the National Hockey league should remember or have nightmares about for quite some time. In 15 games played on the weekend, eight on Saturday and seven on Sunday, a total of 120 goals were scored. This was the highest total ever recorded in the NHL. The Montreal Canadiens were responsible for a lot of the scoring. The Habs walloped the Chicago Black Hawks 12-3 and Ivan Cournoyer scored five times. Greg Polis of the Rangers scored four times against Minnesota and former Leaf Rick Kehoe scored a hat trick against his old mates during a 8-3 Pittsburg win over Toron- to. Despite the high scoring in most of the games on this particular weekend, two goalies came up with shutouts, Gary Simmons of California and Ron Low of Washington were able to keep their goals clear. While talking about goal tenders it's interesting to note that Gary Smith of the Vancouver Canucks has six shutouts to date this year. This is the same number Vancouver goalies have been able to record in their first four full seasons in the NHL. Who is the Sabres leader? The February 28 issue of Hockey News has a very interesting story on the Buffalo Sabres and Don Luce in par- ticular. We met Luce at a wedding in the area a few years ago when he was just starting his now four year stay with the Buffalo club. Maybe fellows like Gil Perreault, Rick Martin and Rene Robert get a lot of the cheers in Buffalo, but who logs the most ice time. That's right, Don Luce. He sees a lot of NHL action when his Buffalo club is playing short handed. Recently he scored his seventh shorthanded goal of the season,onlyone short of the record held by Dave Keon of the Leafs. Since joining the Sabres, Luce has been named the most improved player, the most inspirational and the most valuable for Punch Imlach's team in the past three seasons. Don Luce and Craig Ramsey of the Sabres are probably the best penalty killers in the NHL today and they get plen- ty of opportunity to display their skills as their big team- mates throw their weight around. Buffalo coach Floyd Smith who was around the NHL for about 10 years emphasizes a checking game for his team. Smith survived in pro ranks as long as he did mainly because of persistent checking. Don't be surprised to see the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup final and probably winning all the marbles. Off to Russia In this column a week ago we talked about two teachers from the Huron County Board of Education travelling to Russia to take part in an in-depth study on the Soviet system of physical education. The appointments have now been made. Hon McKay, principal of Hensall public school will represent the elementary schools and Bill Weber of Central Huron in Clin- ton is the appointee from the secondary school level. The Exeter Mohawks scored an important 5-4 victory over the Zurich Flyers Sunday afternoon to keep their South Huron in- termediate hockey playoff hopes alive. The Flyers lead the best-of- seven semi-final series three games to two. The sixth game will be played at the Exeter arena Friday night at 8,30 p.m. with a seventh if necessary back in Zurich Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. In Exeter Friday night, the Zurich club erupted for seven goals in the first period and went on to record a 13-9 win. In the other playoff set the Shipka Colonials lead Centralia College two games to one. The fourth game goes tonight, The Exeter junior Hawks scored a 10-4 win over the Exeter juveniles Sunday night to take a two game lead in an exhibition series. The third game of the best-of- five series will be at the Exeter arena Sunday March 23 at 8:30 p.m. Sunday night, the Hawks took a 7-0 lead before the juveniles hit the scoreboard for the first time. Gord Pryde set the pace for the Hawks with two goals in the first five minutes of play and the juniors were off and running. Pee wees win 'B' crown The Exeter pee wees wound up their Shamrock minor league season this week with two vic- tories and the "B" championship. Monday night in Strathroy, the Exeter youngsters scored a 3-1 victory and a week earlier they had little trouble in defeating the same team 8-2. Two goals in the last three minutes of the first period en- sured the Monday win over Strathroy. Dave Jackson counted from Steve Horn and Jeff Fuller hit on a pass from Doug Brooks. The other Exeter score came in the third period on an unassisted effort by Larry Dawson In the previous victory Wayne Parsons with a hat trick per- formance was best for the Exeter youngsters. Doug Brooks was next in line with a two goal effort and single scores were fired by Rick Lindenfield, Dave Bell and Ed Willis. Ed Willis, Larry Dawson and Steve Pearce were tops in the playmaking department with two assists apiece while Rick Lin- dentfield, Wayne Parsons and Doug Brooks helped on one scoring play each. USBORNE MINOR BASEBALL ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING ELIMVILLE HALL Tues., March 25 8:00 p.m. Everyone Welcome The Exeter bantams came up with two excellent performances over the weekend to take a two game lead in the Ontario Minor Ilockey Association quarter-final playoff with Amherstburg.

Less than two minutes later, Randy Fisher.hit the visitors net with a blast from the blueline after Paul Pooley dug the puck out of the corner. With only 54 Seconds gone in the final stanza, the score went to 6-0 for Exeter as Dennis Preszcator hit the mark with a hard blueline shot on a play started by Paul Pooley. The Pooley brothers were responsible for the last two Exeter markers. Paul scored on a slap shot from the right circle on an unassisted effort at 6.27 and at 8.17 Perry blinked the red light with the assist going to Darrell Preszcator. In the last four minutes of the game the Exeter club let up a little and Paul Robinson was able to score twice for Amherstburg and avert the shutout attempt by Ted Triebner and Paul Gaiser. Triebner was in goal for the first and third periods. The pattern of Saturday's contest was similar with the Exeter boys coming out flying and scoring three goals in the first eight minutes of play.
