When Exeter Mohawks skated down the line, shaking hands with Creemore Chiefs who had just de- feated them four games to one in the Senior B semi-final, there was no real feeling of tragedy in the air. There easily could have been. With a sparkling regular season record, an impressive run through the early stages of league playoffs and some spectacular Hardy Cup hockey under their collective belts, you could say it's sad that they have no cup to show for all that work. But according to Mohawks head coach Jim Guenther, the rewards the club will reap from this sea- son are plentiful. Guenther points out that Exeter, as a hockey com- munity, is "on the map". This year's performance sent out good vibrations in the area, says Guenther -- you can ,play good hockey, be well treated and win. Mohawks executive will have little difficulty attracting the best talent available: In fact, they are already receiving requests from one or two notables. Add to that the nucleus of this year's club and we have another season of good hockey to look forward to: Guenther expects the Stratford line -- Quincy Wilker, Dave Ran- derson, Paul Barton -- to return and he expects them to be hungry for a trophy. They could anchor a team that is young, tough and looking for some hardware for their troubles. But Guenther warns that the 1988-89 version of Exeter Mo- hawks is going to have to be a winner. "It's going to have to. be (bet- ter)," Guenther says. "It's a mould brought on by virtue, of Exeter's executive wanting a winner." They need a winner for interest's sake. For the past three years, Mo- hawks have fallen just short of the elusive Senior B title. It's common knowledge that Mohawks at full strength could have given Creemore a better run, could probably have defeated them and earned a berth against Moore - town Comets -- a team Exeter al- ready sent packing once this sea- son. But Guenther maintains that it is imperative the team brings home the Senior B title next year. If that doesn't happen, the execu- tive body may begin to lose inter- est. And if they lose interest, Ex- eter Mohawks could well end up on the rocks two or three seasons down the road. * * * * It could be that we all took Creemore Chiefs forgrantcd just a little. They've split the first two games of their best -of -seven series against Mooretown in Creemore. Considering the tough play that Comets are capable of, that's im- pressive. No doubt Chiefs arc rid- ing high on the gust of confidence they got when they downed Mo- hawks. The series now moves south for three games.

A short-handed marker from Cree- more's Scott Jackson at 11:08 left Mohawks sagging and then Parker scored his second of the game to build an insurmountable lead. Exeter hit the ice in the seconi period with a little more fervor. A Creemore goal by Darryl Ilugh- son at 4:40 threatened to deflate them again but Mohawks held -their own. Pressure paid off at 7:48 whom Dave Randerson put the puck in the net with a wrist shot from the slot. Paul Barton drew an assist on the play. Mohawks held onto the momen- tum by riding out a penalty to Brian Mercer with some excellent penalty killing. At 10:35,- Jeff Warren scored while Exeter had a man ad- vantage, making it 5-3 and inspir- ing some hope for the home team. But a penalty to Quincy Wilker for elbowing left the ailing Mo- hawks at a disadvantage and at 15:24 Parker scored his third goal of the night. Creemore's Steve Caldwell made it 7-3 early in the third to squash any chances for Exeter to tic the game. -- Elliott scored his second of the night for Mohawks on an unassisted effort at 12:09. With just over two minutes left • to play in the game, .Pikul was pulled from the net. Chiefs found the empty goal -mouth seconds after he reached the bench.
