Times-Advocate, 1983-03-16, Page 8Peg. 8 Time -Advocate, March 16, 1983 Sports Spotlight Sy Ron Haugh Special awards time It's time again to think about who will be award- ed the many individual trophies and awards up for grabs by National Hockey League players. Don't be surprised if Wayne Gretzky again wins the Hart trophy as the NHL's most valuable player although he might get some opposition from Boston Bruins goalie Pete Peeters. For the top defenceman the experts will likely go for either Mark Howe or Rod Langway, but, how about Borje Salming of the Leafs as a dark horse. Salming has been one of the big reasons for the great turnaround for the Toronto club and in recent games has been logging a lot of ice time. Logical candidates for the Lady Byng trophy as the most gentlemanly player are Jari Kurri, Michael Goulet and Mike Bossy with defenceman Paul Reinhart having an outside chance. The on- ly rearguard ever to take home the Lady Byng silverware was Simcoe native Leonard 'Red' Kelly. Vying for rookie of the year and the Calder trophy are a number of very impressive first year performers. Included in this list are fellows like Steve Larmer, Pelle Lindbergh, Phil Housley and Kitchener Ranger graduate Scott Stevens. The battle for the Frank Selke trophy for best defensive forward should be restricted to Dave Hunter, Bobby Gould and the perennial candidate Bob Gainey. We will go for Gerry Cheevers as coach of the year. Close contenders should be Orval Tessier • and Bob McCammon. University hockey Three graduates of the Exeter minor hockey system were involved in university hockey playoffs over the weekend. Dave Bogart was with the Laurier Golden Hawks participating in the Canadian University championships in Moncton, New Brunswick and twin brothers Paul and Perry Pooley were at the Joe Louis arena in Detroit as the Ohio State Buckeyes were in playoff action. The Laurier team won their first, game by a score of 5-4 over Brandon and then fell 10-1 at the hands of the eventual champion University of Saskatchewan Huskies. Local high school teacher Ron Bogart was at most of the playoff series in Moncton to see his son play and said the Saskatchewan team played almost perfect passing hockey. Bogart told us, "The way they played in the one game I saw, they could have probably beaten a number of NHL teams with their almost perfect passing. In the entire game they made only about two passes that went astray." The Ohio State Buckeyes after losing their open- ing game to Michigan State bounced back to win the consolation championship. The latest press release from Ohio State tells us that the Pooley's are closing in on a number of school records. Paul is now fifth in single season goals with 31, seventh in single season points with 65, sixth in career goals at 80, tied for ninth in career assists at 90 and seventh in career points at 170. Perry has moved up to the tenth spot in single season goals with 27. In 34 Buckeye games, Paul is third in team scor- ing with 31 goals and 34 assists for 65 points in 34 games while Perry is fourth with 27 goals and 26 assists for 63 points in 38 starts. Soccer starting The Exeter Centennials are planning on getting in some early workouts for the upcoming summer soccer season. The Centennial senior A and B teams will start practice sessions Tuesday, March 22 at South Huron District High School at 8 p.m. All new soccer players are welcome to come out. While talking about soccer, the Lucan Minor Soccer Association is holding their annual registrations at the Lucan arena on the next two Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for boys aged six to 16 and girls between the ages of eight and 16 years. Adopting Stapleton training A couple of weeks ago, former NHL defence star Pat Stapleton was in Exeter making a presenta- tion of his minor hockey training program which he has started in the eastern provinces with the assistance of Pepsi Cola. Since that time officials of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association have decided to adopt Stapleton's basic training programs starting in the fall of this year. Well done, Panthers Our congratulations go out this week to the South Huron District High School senior Panthers basketball team in winning the Iluron-Perth championship. It's the first senior 11-P title for the local school' for some time since Glenn Mickre last guided his boys to the two county championships. A lot of credit is due to coach Terry O'Rourke for sticking with the ship through thick and thin and final- ly coming up with a championship calibre club. Short midgets win The Exeter midgets, reduc- ed to only eight skaters due to high school exams, scored a 4-2 win over Mitchell in an ex- hibition game, Monday. The contest was a rough af- fair that erupted into two fights and left the locals with only six skaters to finish the game. Don Hamilton, Steve Gould, Scott Lovie and Doug Scott scored for Exeter with Peter Janssen picking up two assists and Brent Dawson, Scott and Gould recording singles.
