Lucan's Rick Freeman had the
honor of scoring the first goal in
the first hockey game played the
South Huron Rec Centre and that
tally helped his Irish team to
spoil the Exeter Hawks home
opener, Friday.
Playing before almost 700
people on less than ideal ice
conditions, the Lucan squad
scored a 5-4 win against the OHA
Junior "D" defending title
holders.
The ice was extremely soft for
the contest due to a malfunction
of the ice making plant at the rec
centre, and by the end of the
The Lucan-Ilderton Jets im-
p-roved their season record in the
Ontario Hockey Association
Continental Senior league to
three victories and two defeats
this week.
The Jets drubbed the Port
Stanley Dynamites 12-2 Wed-
nesday: lost 7-1 to the Petrolia
Jets Friday and scored a 3-2
overtime victory Sunday af-
ternoon over the Durham
Huskies.
Come from behind victory
The Jets held scoreless by the
Huskies Sunday afternoon for
more than two and a half periods
broke loose for two goals in the
final frame and one in the extra
session to down their arch rivals
from Durham.
The winning goal came at 3:12
of overtime. Ed Parkinson took. a
pass from Spurr and rapped the
puck off the Durham goal post
and the backboards, but, it
bounced back out and he was able
to put the puck past Huskies
netminder John Bak.
Gerry Herman and Cal Russell
were the Durham Marksmen in
the first two periods.
Winkers lead
in dart loop
The Winkers scored a
maximum five -points in Exeter
Legion mixed dart league play
Friday night to take over un-
disputed possession of first place.
The Winkers now have 19
points, one more than the
Doublers and Nicky Tams who
are deadlocked for second place.
The Out of Space are next with 17
points, the Sassenachs 16 and the
Flying Highs 15.
The Itchy Niters are seventh
with 14 points, the DR's and First
Chance have 12 points apiece, the
Outlaws 11 and Scotties and
Family Affair each 10.
Keith Brittain with a score of
180 leads the Men while Eilleen
Spurn and Doris Dobson are tied
for ladies high score at 140.
Friday's schedule is:
8 p.m.
The ? vs Shiphunters
Out of Space vs Winkers
McPfaffs vs Family Affair
Frist Chance vs Scotties
9.30 p.m.
Nicky Tams vs Sabres
Outlaws vs DR's
Flying Highs vs Itchy Niters
Sassenachs vs Doublers
game there were large holes in
the ice and the painted lines were
smeared over a wide area.
This week, the Hawks play two
more games at the rec centre. On
Friday they host their rivals from
Mitchell at 8:30 and on Sunday
the Seaforth squad will be here
for a 7:30 p.m, start.
Playing at home again on
Sunday, the Hawks recorded
their first win with a narrow 1-0
margin over Port Stanley.
Freeman's goal came at the
13:44 mark of the first period, in
Friday's opener with Jeff Hart-
man and Don Latta drawing the
At 10:27 of the third period, Ed
Parkinson took a pass from
playing coach Jack Chipchase
and fired the puck into the
Durham net. Only two minutes
later the score was tied as Ian
McTavish converted passes from
Scott Graham and Kett McCut-
cheon on a power play,
Peter Atlas was in goal for the
Jets and played an outstanding
game in turning away 27 Durham
shots,
Only nine penalties were
handed out by referee Frank
Slota with five going to the
Huskies. Slota handed out two
penalties in the early moments of
the game and from then on both
teams stuck strictly to playing
the puck.
Lose to Petrolia
While the Jets lost 7-1 to
Petrolia Friday, they were not
out of contention until well past
the midway mark of the third
period.
The Petrolia club took ad-
vantage of a pair of L-I penalties
late in the first period to take a 3-1
edge on the scoreboard.
Ex-Exeter Hawk Gerald Weido
fired the only Lucan-Ilderton goal
at 16:07 of the opening session on
passes from Ian McTavish and
Ed Parksinson. There was no
scoring in the second period.
Scoring in single fashion for
Petrolia were Jim Harvie, Dale
Wilson, Daryl Ulrich, Brian
Edgar, Tom Douglas, Jim Willis
and Barry Edgar.
Bomb Port Stanely
Ian McTavish blinked the red
light three times to pace the Jets
to Wednesday's 12-2 over Port
Stanley.
Next in line with two successful
shots each were Ed Parkinson,
Brian Spurr and Jamie Robb
while Jack Chipchase, Pete
Glover and Ron Funston scored
in single fashion
assists on the power play,
The lead was short-lived
however, as Brian Taylor not-
ched the first goal of the season
for the Hawks only seven seconds
later. Jamie Caldwell drew the
assist on the play.
Lucan's Gary Herr scored
early in the second frame on
another power play with Perry
Knee and Cecil Nickles drawing
the assists and then Exeter came
hack to knot the count on their
own power play at the 11:48 mark
with Ken Pinder firing home a
pass from Jim Ferguson.
Exeter took a 3-2 lead less than
a minute later when. Randy
Parsons took a pass in ihe slot
and found the range behind Scott
McNair in the Lucan net. Kim
McKinnon and Ron Bilcke picked
up the assists on the play. It was
also scored with a man ad-
vantage.
In the final two minutes of the
middle frame, Lucan scored
twice to take a lead they never
relinquished.
Greg Adlington fired the first
tally with the teams even and
then Randy Kraul scored on a
power play to give the Irish a 4-3
margin. Gary Herr assisted on
both goals, while Ken Murray
drew one assist.
The Irish opened up a two-goal
margin at the mid-way mark of
the final frame when Dean
Deanmore fired a shot past
Randy Lovie after taking a pass
from Jeff Hartman.
Matt Muller pulled( the Hawks
to within one goal at the 14:06
mark on a play with Phil Knight,
but that was as close as they
could get.
Lucan played much of the final
three minutes with two men
short, but McNair came up with
some key saves as the Hawks
battled tenaciously to get the
equalizer.
The Irish picked up 20
penalties, including a game
misconduct to Don Latta and
a major misconduct to coach Bill
Bannerman. The Hawks had 11
penalties, one being a major to
Brian Taylor who was involved in
a skirmish with Latta, after the
latter grabbed him behind the net
in the second period.
Hot goa lie
The Hawks didn't have any
trouble out-playing the Port
Stanely Lions in Sunday's con-
test, but they did have con-
siderable trouble trying to get the
puck past Jim Neverly.
In fact, it wasn't until the 18:16
mark of the final period that
Jamie Caldwell took a pass from
Brian Taylor to give the defen-
ding champions their lone goal
in the 1-0 victory.
It was one of the lowest scoring
games on record in the Junior
"D" loop and rookie SteVe Beer
picked up the shut-out in his first
league start. He handles 18 shots,
The Hawks fired 10 shots at
Neverly in the first period and
then came up with a barrage of 31
over the final two periods as they
continually hemmed Port Stanley
in their end. However, Neverly
stood his ground and the contest
appeared to, be heading for a
precedent-setting scoreless draw
before Caldwell finally con-
nected.
Most of the Hawks had been
robbed on early plays that ap-
peared to be heading for goals.
Caldwell's tally came on a
power play, one of nine they
enjoyed during the contest. The
Hawks picked up only four minor
penalties and easily turned aside
-the Port Stanley power play on
those occasions.

Spotlight
Centre opens
Two years ago the Ontario Ministry of Labour was get-
ting plenty of "flack" for closing down more than 300
arenas throughout the province but now some of the noise
has settled down,
At Friday's first OHA Junior "D" game in.the new
South Huron flee Centre, OHA president Hugh MacLean of
London said he feels like writing a letter to Labour Minister
Bette Stevenson thanking her for closing down some of the
rinks.
MacLean made the comment prior to the official
faceoff for the first game between the Exeter Hawks and
Lucan Irish. He added, "At the time it seemed like a
tragedy to lose so many of our arenas, but, see this
beautiful new facility, one feels like thanking those that
made it all possible."
Despite the many delays at Friday's opening game, we
are sure all of the more than 700 persons in attendance were
impressed with the new Rec. Centre.
Once the "bugs" in the public address system and the
clock are ironed out and cooler weather helps provide a
better ice surface we are sure all residents of South Huron
can proudly point to the Rec Centre and say "we are a part
of it".
While the glass was not installed in the press box for the
first weekend games, this area is really ideal for all media
people and our local three star selectors of Hawks games,
Derry Boyle and Wally Burton.
Sunday afternoon's game played here between the St.
Marys Lincolns and Sarnia junior Bees was broadcast over
CHOK radio.
The flee Centre is really beginning to be a busy spot
with all local minor hockey teams swinging into action
along with the two junior clubs now playing out of the
building.
Due to the very inclement weather over the past few
months, construction of the new St. Marys arena has been
slowed considerably. This means the Lincolns will be play-
ing their home games in Exeter probably for the next
month. Their next contest is Saturday night at the South
Huron Rec Centre.
The next home game for the Exeter Hawks will be Fri-
day night at 8 : 30 p.m. when they play host to the Mitchell
Hawks. Sunday night the Seaforth Centennaires will ,be in
town for a 7:30 p.m. contest.
The Rec Centre ice surface will be a busy spot Saturday
afternoon when the Exeter figure skating club stages a
skate-a-thon. Proceeds will go to finance the club activities
this winter and to the Rec Centre.
The figure skating club is taking advantage of the new
facility this year by increasing their program. Club
professional Brad Loosley will be back for his seventh year
as the instructor and he will be assisted ... by another
professional, Marg Carey.
Club president Gaylen Josephson tells us that the two
pros will be teaching at the same time and thus make much
better use of the ice time allotted.
Two gun clubs
Received several calls this week from members of the
claybird gun club to tell us they are not involved with the
Exeter gun club which has been operating at the south edge
of town and apparently disturbing residents.
The claybird gun club has been operating all summer in
Hay township. They first operated on the Stanlake farm on
Concession 2 but late in the summer moved to a more
desolated spot on Concession 5, north of the Exeter dump.
The sport of skeet and claybird shooting is becoming in-
creasingly popular. The claybird gun club has had as many
as 30 competitors at some of their recent meets in Hay
township.
New coaches helping
Although the 1977-78 National Hockey League season is
only a week or so old, two of the newest coaches appear to
he making their mark.
The Toronto Maple Leafs under the guidance. of rookie
coach Roger Neilson in their first three league games didn't
really set the league on fire, but over the weekend they
handed the previous undefeated Philadlephia Flyers two
setbacks in as many nights.
After the first three contests, even the Leafs staunchest
supporters were beginning to wonder about Neilson's defen-
sive tactics. Their showing against the Flyers has to be en-
couraging. Before meeting the Leafs Saturday and Sunday,
the Flyers had allowed only three goals in four games,' but,
this great defensive record sure went for a spill.
The other sophomore coach Bobby Kromm at Detroit
also appears to have the Red Wings up and flying. Thursday
night the Wings came within 16 seconds of handing the Mon-
treal Canadiens their first loss of the season. The Habs
scored in the dying seconds to get a 2-2 draw,
The aggressive brand of hockey touted by general
manager Ted Lindsay on the Detroit media prior to the
opening of the season doesn't appear to be as drastic as first
believed.
One of the bright spots in the Detroit lineup is their first
draft choice Dale McCourt from last year's St. Catharines
Fincups.McCourt is an exciting hockey player and should
help bring the fans back to Olympia Stadium.
Bush survival commandments
A recent news release from Constable Gord Barker,
community service officer of the Lucan OPP detachment
tells about hunter safety.
Constable Barker reports that OPP detachments in
northern Ontario spend many needless man hours searching
for missing hunters and rendering assistance to the injured.
He passes on the "Ten Commandments of Bush Sur-
vival" which could prove valuable to the many area hunters
heading north in search of deer and moose, They are as
follows: 1. Tell someone where you are going and when you
expect to return. 2. Carry and know how to use a compass.
3. Carry emergency food, matches and a good knife. 4.
Check your position frequently, 5. If lost, don't panic. 6.
Stay put, prepare shelter and fire, 7. Prepare three signal
fires in a 60 foot triangle ready for lighting at the first sound
of an aircraft, 8. Conserve your food supply and strength. 9.
If you leave your shelter, blaze your trail. 10. If you are not
lost but only delayed, notify your home and the OPP.
