Junior 'D' hockey-
Hawks exterminate Pests, win 6-2
By Peed Groves
T -A EMIT
EXETER - For the second
straight game, Exeter Hawks' goal-
ie Clint McCann was the spark the
OHA Junior Development club
needed.
Friday night, the veteran net -
minder turned away 25 shots to
help the hosts beat the Belmont
Pests 6-2. The win lifts the Hawks'
west division record to 13 0-1.
It took Exeter just 1:49 into the
game to get on the scoreboard
when forward Andrew Barton
caught Belmont goalie Matt Wil-
son out of l Gillen. Paul Manders
and Aft enee tae Auvin Tate drew
them the lust goal.
The Heats banged and bumped
theirtheir soppoients all night and it be-
gan when `blueliner Jamie Cornish
dished out a hard hit to Mike Smith
right in front of the Exeter bench.
It was 2-0 when Scan McCann
stayed with a loose puck as line -
mate Shayne Robinson and Dave
Dalrymple helped out on McCann's
32nd goal of the season.
Wilson came up big on Irvine
and Dalrymple late in the opening
period but the Hawks were up by a
Goan ' gets three assists
BELMON T - If records are kept
Lin the OHA Junior Development
.League, one of them may just have
-.to be rewritten.
.Sunday afternoon in Belmont,
Lucan Irish goalie Brent Lewis,
who was the starting goalie for the
west team in Saturday's All-star
game, had three assists in a 7-4 win
against the Pests.
In Lucan's 22hd win -of the sea-
son, Paul O'Shea and Greg DePrest
each had a pair of goals with sin-
gles from Sean Kaczmarek, Jason
Wilson and Kevin Leitch.
Jason Glasser, Ed VanKerkoerle
and Chris Chater all had two assists
each for the winners.
Leitch showed a lot of hustle late
in the game op his goal when the
Pests pulled their goalie, Leitch
shot it down the rink which hit the
end boards. 'He outskated the Bel-
mont defensemen, took the puck
off the boards and scored.
The Irish take on Seaforth to-
night at 8:15 p.m.

"THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL"
The setting was in OAKLAND, and the BOSTON BRUINS
were playing the SEALS. The BRUINS were killing a penalty and
BOBBY ORR was spinning some magic. The goalie for the OAK-
LAND SEALS was my buddy and ex -team mate GARY "SUIT-
CASE" SMITH and he told me that it was a goal that he'd never
forget. As he remembers it, Bobby was doing his usual thing, killing
thepenalty which meant he never let the other team touch the puck.
He'd go behind his net and if someone chased him, he'd go in front
of the net and continue killing time off the penalty. On this night, as
Bobby was slowly coming up the middle of the ice, he lost his glove
but continued into the' SEAL'S end. He then spinned himself
around and began skating backwards with the puck back up through
centre -ice again. As he came near his glove laying at centre -ice, he
reached down and somehow put his hockey glove back on. He then
circled around the ice and took the puck back behind his own net.
Then he really "turned on the jets" and came roaring down the ice,
blasting past everyone and he whistled a shot at Gary who caught
the puck but was juggling it in the air. As bobby was whizzing by
the OAKLAND net, (fmishing off his rush) he reached back with
his stick and tapped the puck behind SMITH and into the net.
WAYNE CASHMAN told me that the BRUIN'S were on their
feet (at the bench) cheering when he looked over at the OAKLAND
bench. They were cheering .too! it wsa the first time two teams
cheered the same goal as the players from both teams paid homage
to the "GREATEST PLAYER" who ever lived or will ever play.
I guess that there will be a few people out there who will say
"sure Grapes says this because he coached ORR and he's biased,
and maybe your right". But let me refresh your memory and give
you a few stats.
BOBBY ORR ... (in only nine full seasons)
CALDER TROPHY - Rookie of the year 1966-67.
NORRIS TROPHY - 8 times as league's best defensemari.
ART ROSS - league scoring champion. Bobby is the only de-
fenseman to win the scoring "AND HE DID IT TWICE!"
HART TROPHY - League M.V.P. (3 years in a row)
CONN SMYTHE TROPHY - 2 times as M.V.P. of Stanley Cup
Play-offs
CANADA CUP M.V.P. - 1976 leading his Team (lad,
to the champieltship.
AND.... here's the last bit of information. In 1974-75, Bobby bads
46 goals, 87 assists and was a plus 128 for the season, to put the plus
and minus statistics in perspective; the guy who had the best plus
and minus last season was +60.
BUT... as the players who had to play against him can attest, he
was no sweetheart who could just score points, he could do it all,
block shots, bodycheck and although he
doesn't like to admit it, he could "Drop
the gloves" once in awhile.
There's lot's more to tell you about
BOBBY ORR and in our next segment
I'll share with you the comments of
RED FISHER who has seen agd cov-
ered them all as well as a tribute to
Bobby from SERGE SAVARD. I'll
even tell you about the time 1 first laid
eyes on BOBBY ORR.

•with tie St Junior 'B' Lin-
colns last year has been a welcome
addition to the Hawks lineup and
Friday nnight;lte tensed with Steph
Audet who ins 22 points with the
Lincolns already this year.
The Lincohts and the Hawks are
affiliated which means they can
transfer players between the two
clubs.
It only took 1:39 into the second
period for the duo to combine and
give theloc'Ls a 3-0 lead.
Manders collected his second
'point of the night with 6:56 left in
elite middle frame when he set up
'Barton. Manders was knocked
down by Belmont's Les Nemeth
during the play and all three ended
up going to the penalty box follow-
ing a scruni in front of the Pests'
net.
Just 18 seconds later, speedy
winger Ray Cousineau made it 5-0
when he swept around Wilson to
score a shorthanded goal.
With just over three minutes to
go in the second, Cousineau
notched his 18th of the year as he
was on the receiving end of a pass
from Audet.
Irvine was sent to the penalty box
near the end of the period and just
eight seconds later, he was joined
by Manders. While the Pests' had a
two-man advantage for nearly two
minutes, they failed to score.
In the third period, Dalrymple
tripped Erin Neville but it was the
Hawks reaping the benefits of a
powerplay after Neville retaliated,
drew an unsportsmanlike penalty
and was slapped with a 10 minute
misconduct.
McCann's bid fbr his second shut-
out of the year was broken when
Jon Vandenwerf's shot found its
way through a crowd and it was 6-2
when Tim Uuebanks let go with a
quick shot off the draw.
Hawks happenings:...Dalrymple
had one of his best games of the
season as he had three assists...The
new line of Audet, Ropp and Cou-
sineau had six .points. That trio
could take a lot of scoring pressure
off of the line of Sean McCann,
Todd McCann and Robinson...The
Hawks hosted the North Middlesex
Stars last night and Friday take on
Lucan .
Exeter Hawks' forward Ray Cousineau made sure about this shot as he beat Belmont
goalie Matt Wilson during Friday night's OHA Junior Development League action in Exeter.

Home's 20 points leads juniors
EXETER - The South Huron
District -High J;eitool.,jttoior boys'
basketball team started 1993 off on
the right foot Wednesday • after-
noon, beating visiting Seaforth 42-
28.
Paced by the outstanding 20 -
point effort of forward Jeremy
Home, the Panthers led throughout
the Huron Conference game and
held a commanding 29-15 lead at
the end of the third quarter.
Home and Kevin Ross grabbed
several key rebounds and Brian
McAllister controlled the offence
and _added 11 points, most of those
on free throws late in the game.
Two minutes into the fourth
quarter, McAllister made a nice
play when he stole the ball away
from a Seaforth player who had
just snatched a defensive rebound
and then fed Horne who had brok-
en into the middle of the key.
High scoring game: The senior
Panthers were not as fortunate in
their fast game of 1993 as they
were beaten 87-61.
Although South Huron put a lot
of points on ;ate board, they

couldn't stop Stalorth's eight three -
pointers and, Eric Johnston who
had 28 points for the visitors.
The Panthers kept with their op-
ponent and it looked as though it
would be a fairly close game when
Greg Agnew swished a three --
pointer in the second quarter. But
Seaforth jumped to a 45-29 half-
time lead.
One of the nicest baskets of the
game was scored by Panthers'
guard Ryan Stuart. With 3:30 left
in the first half, he fought his way
through heavy traffic and under-
handed the bell which softly went
in.
But Stuart got into foul trouble
early in the second half which
seemed to take a little spark away
from the hosts. Dennis McCann
came off the bench and was on the
receiving end of a nice pass from
Agnew.
Johnston made a great play at the
buzzer ending the third quarter as
he went up for a shot, was fouled
by South Huron's Simon Dinney,
but while laying on his back,
watched the ball go in. He made a
free throw and it was 66-41 Sea -
forth at the end of three periods.
Agnew, who led the Panthers
with 13 points, played well in the
rump quarter and in the final eight
minutes hit a couple of three -
pointers and connected with a long
shot from the top of the key.
The Panthers continue Huron
Conference action today when they
travel to Goderieb.
