Game Three
You've got to bang em' to beat
em'.
The Exeter Mohawks learned
that lesson Saturday night at the
South Huron Recreation Centre.
Down two games to none
against the Mudcats, the Mohawks
played a very physical game and
Not this time - Exeter forward Tim Shields had three goals in Saturday night's

won game three 7-3.
Thursday in Dunnville, the Mo-
hawks were pushed all over the
ice, but on their home turf, they
turned the tables.
"Even teams that aren't known
as physical have to be capable of
playing physical, they have to
adapt, said Exeter coach Dave
Revington after Saturday's game.
The Mudcats put a big scare into
the very large crowd as they got
on the board first when Glen Cze-
pek was left alone at the side of
the net.
But while Bill Glover was tying
up two Mudcats' in front of their
own net, Arts blasted one from the
point to tie the game. Dunnville
went back in front on Mike Dun -
horn's goal before Exeter scored
twice to take the lead.
With Scott Allemang off for
butt -ending, Tim Fritz tied it up
just 12 seconds into the power-
play. Exeter knocked on the door
and with 6:57 left in the second,
Dunnville defenceman Bob Spring-
er covered the puck in his own
crease setting up a dramatic penalty
shot.
Tim Shields was given the hon -
'our and he had no problem beating
Larry Wolfe to make it 3-2.
Shields and the Mohawks contin-
ued to dominate in the second as he
scored two more and the home
team built a 6-2 lead after 40 min-
utes.
"It's about time," said Shields af-
ter the game. "I've been in a slump,
'I got a couple of good chances and
made the most of them.
For Shields, it was his first hat
trick since peewee.
Although he wasn't on the receiv-
ing end of too many hits by the
Mudcats, he said it was a physical

"It was typical Dunnville..cheap
shots, but we took them out of the
game."
McCarter, who along with Fritz
are known as the Brussels Sprouts,
scored in the second period while
Bitner answered for the visitors.
The only goal in the third period
cane when Exeter centre Jeff
Shipley muscled his way in and
baclOianded it high into the net.
Dunnille spent a lot more time in
the penalty box than the Mohawks
which allowed Exeter to score four
powerplay tallies.
Big Rob Moore and Dunnville's
Allemag wrestled to the ice near
the end of the game and McCarter
and Dunnville bad boy Gerry
McSorley were ejected earlier in
the third period.
"We expected it to be physical.
We knew they'd come out hitting,"
said Dunnville assistant coach
Dave Bowden.
"We were missing a few people
and that hurt the offense," he said.
Exeter had Gord Brooks, Greg
Snyder, Wayne Urbshott and Joe
Scherer, all big goal scorers out of
the . lineup but still managed to
score seven times.
"If we get our offense in gear, we
should be able to score at least five
goals each game," said Revington.
Game Two
The trip to Dunnville was a long
one Thursday night as the Mo-
hawks lost 5-1 and slipped behind
two games to none.
Playing in the smaller arena, the
host Mudcats played a much more
physicalgame then the visitors.
They banged on the boards and led
1-0 at the end of the opening peri-
od. Dunnville built a 2-0 lead on a
second period powerplay before
Brooks put Exeter on the board.
Brooks was later taken off the ice
when he was checked from behind
by Dale Booker. The Mudcats con-
tinued to dominate and in the third
period scored three times.
Bitner led the winners scoring at-
tack as he netted a hat trick while
Robertson and Mike Dunham also
got the puck past Rick Pikul.
Pikul played well in net but after
the fifth goal was replaced by Paul
Woolford. The rookie netminder
came in and in less than a couple of
minutes slashed Bitner. The Mud -
cat took offence and both were
ejected for fighting.
Due to injuries Exeter had only
14 skaters. Of those, Moore was
playing with a bad leg and it was
the first game back for Richard
Hawkins after sitting out a three
game suspension.
ame: One
Dunnville scored four goals in
the ten-minute overtime to win the
opener 7-3 last Tuesday night at the
South Huron Recreation Centre.
The week's layoff seemed to be
effecting Exeter as they were not
their normal offensivley aggressive
selves. Czepek and Andy Williams
led the Mudcats with two goals
each.
Czepek's f tally was the nicest
goal of the t as he put a big
move on Chet outure and then got
it past Pikul. But instead of cele-
brating with his teammates, he re-
trieved the puck out of the net and
threw it at the Mohawk fans. He
was given a ten-minute miscon-
duct.
Gerry Gagnon, Tyne and Kelly
also scored for Dunnville. Cord
Brooks, Greg Snyder and newcom-
er Clarke Singer answered for Exet-
er.
McSorley wielded his stick pretty
freely and speared Rick Lambert at '
least twice. Referee Claude Daw
failed to call it but he was kept
busy giving 67 minutes in penalties
to Exeter and 77 to the visitors.
The team also won the Parkhill
Lions Club Tournament on Febru-
ary 23. Their record for the season
was 23 wins and no losses.

What to look for
when buying a new home.
For most people buying a new home is the single biggest
purchase they will ever make. And if you're like most of the
people I meet, you want to know that your new home will
be well constructed to give you years of comfortable, energy
efficient living.
As a builder, people always
ask me, "How do I know my
new home will be built to the
highest standards?”
It's a good question. Because
while all homes are built to
building code standards, there
is only one type of home that's
been {+' a a special designation
because it exceeds the building code to make it more energy
effident. In fact, It's so energy effluent that Ontario Hydro
highly recommends it.
It's called the R2000 home. Seen from the street it looks
like any other home. So what makes it so special?
It's the way it's built. For example, R2000 homes are
constructed with a greater attention to detail. This creates a
more comfortable, even temperature in your home that also
eliminates drafts and cold spots. And because of extra insula-
tion and good quality doors and windows, R2000 homes
reduce noise from neighbours and outside traffic.
Is clean, fresh air important to you and your family? The
R2000 home lets you control the ventilation in your home.
For example, you don't have to
open the window for fresh air,
the ventilation system will
ensure a continuous supply at,
all times by exhausting the stale s
indoor air and replacing it with
fresh outdoor air. ! "
But there is one thing you must know. Builders must
receive special training to build R2000 homes. And to ensure
your home is built to official R2000 standards, it is individ-
ually inspected and given its own certificate. So look for the
R2000 symbol, it's your way of knowing that the home you
buy is a better built home.
For more information about R2000 homes, call 'the certified
R2000 builder listed below.
