Times Advocate, 1991-10-23, Page 17Times -Advocate, October 23, 1991 - Jim -freeman, 'father �fh��key' Jim Freeman, let; is congratulated by Chris Haskett for his many years of contribution to the Lucan Minor Hockey Association. LUCAN - He is called the fa- ther of minor hockey in Lucan. After playing hockey in Wood- stock and Norwich, Jim Freeman moved to Lucan in 1949 and played intermediate for the Lucan Irish Six. Freeman, still an executive member with the Lucan Junior 'D' Irish, was presented with a banner on Friday night to acknowledge his 1958-59 all -Ontario midget championship team. The banner was donated by Kay Haskell and presented to Freeman during the Junior 'D' reunion game by her grandson, Chris. Freeman started the bantam team in Lucan and at one time was coaching both the midget and juvenile teams. An original mem- ber of the 'group which organized the Shamrock League, he was al- ways available to drive players, whether or not on his team, to games. While his accomplishments and the honors presented to him are many, none is more prestigious than being awarded the Ontario Hockey Association's Golden Stick in 1989. Freeman was, and still, is a very dedicated member of the hockey community in Lucan of which he was the chairman of the minor as- sociation for 17 years. Page 17 Too much violence In hockey Continued from page 14 player. Where is the reward to so- ciety, to parents and to teenagers if there is no teaching or learning of co-operativeness, respectfulness, sportsmanship, and tolerance? Our own governments in a time of high taxes and high debt are spending large sums of tax dollars to educate everyone about violence as a crime and that people should be more tol- erant of others. We can playa part in making hockey safer for everyone. Good hockey can be played without fighting and violence. We can in- sist that violence not be tolerated in any area of society so that young people will learn a consistent s - sage that violence is wrong. In closing, many peop were an- gry, upset, frustrated and perplexed in Goderich tonight. As one young boy at the arena said, "Goderich won tonight." "I'm not sure anyone won tonight", I re- sponded. He looked at me while puzzling over my comment and he turned to his friend and asked, "The score was 5 to 1 for Goderich, wasn't it?" I said, "Yes, the score was 5 to 1 for Goderich." My last two questions about this issue are. How many other arenas Junior 'D' roundup Hawks give up seven second period goals By Ray Lewis EXETER - The Exeter Hawks seem content to play '.500 hockey, as they again split a pair of week- end games. Following a great team effort Friday night at home, against Mt. Brydges, the Hawks shot them- selves in the foot Saturday against the Lambeth Lancers, giving up seven second period goals and dropping their OHA Development (Junior D') game 10-6 in Exeter. "We made a lot of mental er- rors," said a disappointed John Ker - nick, coach of the Exeter squad. After six games the Hawks sit tied for fourth with Pt. Stanley, four points back of first place Lambeth. Penalties have proven costly gdr. the Hawks in each of their three losses, and powerplay goals Saturday a:•: in put Exeter be- hind the eight ball. The Hawks have already lost six man games due to suspensions, and can tack on two more as centre Derek Shackleton was ejected Sat- urday after being issued a pair in addition to defenseman Jamie Cor- nish, who is currently sitting a two game suspension following as inci- dent against Mt. Brydges. Exeter 6, Lambeth 10 Exeter came out of the gate in a hurry Saturday night as Ray Cousi- neau set up Shackleton just 25 sec- onds into the game. Lambeth then surged ahead scoring three times, but second period goals by Shawn Chipchase and Counsineau tied things up in the second. Shackleton was then issued two minor penalties and the Lancers made good on both to take a 5-3 lead. With the locals down 6-3, some good pressure by Shayne Robinson paid off when he fed Steve Vandenberk who scored from the point to bring them within two. Lambeth struck once more before the end of the period, as goaltender John Teahen was beaten on a breakaway after replacing Clint McCann. The teams then traded goals in the third period, with Paul Manders and Andrew Barton scoring for Ex- eter. For Barton it was his fust goal of the season since his return form a txoken collar bone. Also dressed Saturday night were midgets Steve Farquhar and Mark Glavin, called up to plug holes left by injuries. "They sure didn't hurt us," said Kenrick. "We were pretty im- pressed with their performance and effort." Hawks 9, Bulldogs 2 The Exeter Hawks sparkled Fri- day night in their first home game since their opener October 5. Cou- sineau and Scott Schiedel each net- ted a pair of goals as the Hawks downed the visiting Bulldogs 9-2. Exeter got powerplay goals from Cousineau, Schiedel and Shawn Chipchase, while defensively Larry Lewis and Vendenberk had strong games. Goaltender Clint McCann kicked out 23 shots during the con-' test. Rounding out the scoring for the Hawks were Shayne Robinson, Lewis and Shackleton. unn looks sharp in 9-1 win 4.v ' y! a. ,'4 x..i ,• 4,4- • MT. BRYDGEST- Although the first period was scoreless, the Lu - can Irish exploded in the next 40 minutes to down the host Mt. Brydges Bulldogs 9-1 in OHA De- velopment (Junior 'D') hockey ac- tion Friday night. The Irish take their undefeated 3- 0-1 record back to Lucan for to- night's game against Seaforth and Friday, travel to Exeter to take on their arch rivals, the Hawks. While the offence was firing on all cylinders Friday in Mt. Brydges, at the other end of the rink, Irish goalie Mark Dunn made his first start of the season and just missed getting a shutout. Hawks and Irish meet Friday EXETER - The rivalry between the Exeter Hawks and the Lucan Irish continues this weekend as the two OHA Development (Junior 'D') teams faceoff at the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter at 8:30 p.m. Before taking on the Seaforth Centennaires on Wednesday, the Irish were undefeated at 3-0-1 while the Hawks are playing .500 hockey at 3-3. in their opening four games, Greg DePrest, Jason Wilson, Darren Neil, Ed VanKerkoerle and Steve Matthews are the goal scoring lead- ers. Suspensions are already hurting the Hawks as Jamie Cornish and John Bell sat out Saturday's game but are expected back on Friday. In- juries have Derek Shackleton and rookie Dan Ryan on the shelf. Shackleton has an injured hand and he's sitting out due to a suspen- sion, Ryan has a broken bone in his leg and is out for minimum six weeks. The line of Scott Schiedel, Ray Cousineau and Dave Dalrymple has accounted for 12 of the team's 23 goals. CousTnif Ikeda the way with eight goals and six assists.

The only goal came in the closing minutes of the game when Bull- dogs' Shawn Taylor let one go from the point that deflected off of Dunn's stick and into the top cor- ner. With returnee Bob Szabo expect- ed to get a lot of the work between the pipes and Dan Jenken available occasionally, for the second year Dunn is in a three -goalie arrange- ment. "This is my chance to show peo- ple what 1 can do," said Dunn who spent a lot of time on his game dur- ing the off-season. Lucan coach _Ken Needham said he has seen a lot of improvement in the young goaltender. "He's better all around and he's not nervous," said Needham. Jon McEachem led the offence with a goal and three assists. He teamed with speedy Greg Muir for a couple of tallies and the duo looked pretty good together. How- ever, Needham said he has not set lines yet. "We've been mixing it (lines) up. We don't know what we're going to do yet." Besides McEachem's goal, Muir and Jason Wilson each had two• with singles from Greg DePrest, Dean Hammond, Darren Neil and Ed VanKerkoede. The score was 5-0 after the sec- ond period following a very slow but hard-hitting first frame. "I can't figure that out. It was like a playoff game but we did have n couple of chances," said Needham Lucky charms:...The Irish have announced that this year's captain is Andy Ross while McEachem and Kevin Leitch are the assistants.
