In the -second :period of -Friday night's OHA Development League game inExeter, the hosting Hawks and the Seaforth Centenaires were involved in a very big fight which saw 13 players ejected. Trailing 6-3 just before the brawl broke out, the Hawks went on to score five in a row and win 8-6. "It seemed to spark us. We haven't had anything to get en- thused about all year," said Hawks' coach George Pratt. "It sure -pumped everyone up from then on." How the altercation began is not totally clear, but it appeared as though - Exeter defenseman Jamie Cornish skated past Seaforth- goalie Dana Dusckocy after scoring the third Beater '-geal and then gave Du ekocy stump. Referee Paul Petrie ejected Cor- nish, Clint McCann, Paul Manders, David Dalrymple, Paul O'Hara and Jason McBride from the Hawks while Duskoey, Bruce Yssetstein, Brian Zimmer, Shawn Morton, Ja- mie Ramer, Shawn Millen, and Jeff Flanagan were kicked out for the Cents.

AH the Hawks ejected, except for Cornish, will sit out Friday's game with Mitchell because they were the third -man into the fight. This :game looked as though it would be a blow out for the Cents as they went up 4-1 in the first peri- od on goals by Brian Taylor, Ray Cherry, Jamie Hislop and Morton. Seaforth extended their lead to 6- 2 as Paul McLwain and Jason McNichol gave the visitors a big four goal cushion. But aftcr Cor- nish's goal and then the fights. the tables turned. Dalrymple and Shayne Robinson scored the first two goals for Exeter. "1t got me up, it got me keen to play." said Hawks' high -scoring forward Sean McCann of the fight. After Petrie halted the game with about six minutes to go in the sec- ond period, Paul Batton and McCann scored just 37 seconds apart which pulled the Hawks to within one. Just 58 ticks into the third period, Steve Farquhar called up from the Exeter midgets, tied the game at six all and then McCann added two more for good measure. "He (McCann) plays his best when he gets more ice time," said Pratt McCann saw a lot of ice time in the third period as the Hawks were down to just ] 2 skaters. "I like it, it gets you going and into the game, more," said McCann. He agreed with Pratt that the fight may have helped turned things around for the Hawks who are now 11-7 and in the west divi- sion. "Hopefully that turned it around. We needed a turning point. We have a big game on Friday against Mitchell." McCann leads the team in scor- ing with 39 points. He's played two games with the Junior B' St. Marys Lincolns but•admitted he can't rush his hockey career.
