Local hockelY ends The 1980-81 hockey season in the immediate Exeter area has been completed. The last to finish were the South Huron intermediate hockey league and the Exeter rec loop. The Zurich Buckeyes captured the South Huron ti- tle for the third straight year with four straight final series victories over the Hensall Sherwoods. In the local rec league, the Dashwood Tigers came roaring down the stretch to win their second straight championship. The Tigers did it the hard way. After losing the first two games of best -of -five series to Pfaff Electric. the Dashwood boys won three in a row to emerge as repeat champions. Locals still going While local teams have ended their season, three graduates of the Exeter minor hockey system are still in the running for provincial championships. Dave Shaw and Tom Coates, members of last year's Ontario midget champs from town are valuable members of the Stratford Cullitons who are in the On- tario Junior "B" final against Burlington. At the time of writing, Burlington leads the best - of -seven series two games to one with the fourth game last night, Tuesday in Stratford. The fifth game is set for Burlington Friday and the sixth. if necessary in Stratford, Sunday. According to a staunch Culliton supporter there will be a sixth game and probably a seventh. The Cullitons despite losing the first two games had an edge in territorial play, but, couldn't get the puck to bounce the right way into the opposition net. Dave Shaw has been playing exceptionally well of late and is expected to be picked fairly high when the OHA Junior draft is held on May 30.

The Tigers lead the American eastern division by a full two games over the second place Boston Red Sox. The Detroit club sports a record of seven wins and only two defeats and both losses came at the hands of the Blue Jays. The Tigers are strong at the plate with lots of power. but. appear to be a little suspect on the pitching mound. Jack Morris, Dave Rozema and Dave Bailey head the hurlers. Dan Petry who is also being counted on by manager Sparky Anderson couldn't find the plate against Toronto Saturday and was lifted before getting anybody out. Bill Martin. the most controversial manager in the majors has his Oakland Athletics off and flying. They won 11 games in a row before losing the second game of a Sunday doubleheader to Seattle. In Toronto, the biggest problem seems to be hit- ting. Dave Stieb who is the Blue Jayone-tWopunch with Jim Clancy has been beaten in two starts mainly because his team-mates have not been able to get hime any runs at all. Only rookie Lloyd Moseby and veterans Otto Velez and John Mayberry have shown any consistency or power at the plate. 1981 Canada Games in Ontario Canada's great national sporting competition, the Jeux Canada Games, comes to Ontario for the first time this August 9 to 22, in Thunder Bay. The 17 -sport Games will involve more than 3,200 athletes from every province and territory in Canada. With 5.000 volunteers, 1.000 coaches and officials in addition to the 3,200 athletes, the Jeux Canada Games will' be one of the largest amateur athletic competitions in the world, second in size only to the Olympics. Thunder Bay will realize the legacy of the games in very concrete ways: a new all-weather 400 meter track. nine tennis courts, upgraded soccer, rugby and field hockey fields, bicycle courses and fitness trails, a ball diamond and improved stadium and arena facilities. The major expenditure of the games will be the new Canada Games complex. This athletic cen- trepiece will include a 77 meter Olympic pool, a warm- up pool suitable for children once the games are over, racquet ball courts. fitness facilities and a weight training room. The volunteers who are helping to stage the games will gain.valuable experience in organizing such a massive project, and their expertise should carry over to other community projects once the games are finished. The games are funded jointly by the federal, provincial and municipal governments and the Friends of the Games, an 85 member fund-raising committee in Thunder Bay. The total expenditure for the event will be $10.5 million. The Friends of the Games, which involves local service clubs and volunteers, is expected to raise 13.0 million which will be matched by grants funded by Wintario. Ontario, as host province, will also be direct- ly contributing a major share of the funds, 11.5 million.

"Without them we wouldn't make it for the year," added vice-president Bob Whiteford. Members of the com- mittee last year were Fred Mommersteeg, Bob and Eleanor Clark, Gerald and Shirley Brintnell, Jerry and Alice MacLean, Jim and Pat Scott, Brian and Janet Wedlake and Pete and Gloria McFalls. Several volunteers were received for the three couples to be replaced this year on the committee. The appointment of the members to all committees was left to the executive. It was indicated that the committee will be as busy again next year as increased ice rental rates and OMHA registration fees were an- nounced at the annual meeting. . Discussion at the meeting centred around formation of a juvenile team for next season, better control of equipment and sweaters and moving to a single fee schedule for minor players next season. The financial statement showed the Hawks with a loss of $2,504 this year, com- pared to a loss of $3,686 the previous season. Gate ad- missions declined by $800, while ice rental and transportation costs in- creased. Minor Hockey paid just over $13,000 in ice rentals during the year. 550-12" Uniroyal DR70-14"'Goodyear Fiberglass Re L78-14" Firestone 801 .1,8-15" B.F.

Paul Van Gerwen fired the dream of most golfers, a hole -in -one from the 17th tee at the Cobbley Nob Resort course in Gatlenburg, Ten- nessee onFriday, April 10. Using a pitching wedge, Van Gerwen's tee shot bounced once and hit the cup 140 yards away. The ball ac- tually stuck between the stick and the side of the hole. Van Gerwen was playing in a foursome with Bill McLean. Bob Fletcher and Don Cowan, all of Exeter.
