Road warrior Jr. D Hawks :rernafl at .500 By Craig Bradford TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF THAMESFORD — The Exeter Jr. D Hawks may have gone 1-1 on the weekend but came out as the overall winners. The Hawks lost 4-3 at Thamesford Sunday night but the score could have been reversed if not for a disallowed goal late in the third period. Jeremy Geoffrey battled in the corner for the puck and passed it out to the stick of Jason Grenier who stuffed it into the top half of the net to make the score 4-3 for Exeter. The bad news is that referee Mike Logan had his arm up and blew the whistle after the puck was in the net since there was a delayed penalty to Geoffrey. The Trojans later scored on the result- ing powerplay. "There's the difference in the game right there," Hawks coach Andy Friyia said. Thamesford built a 3-0 lead till Exeter got on the board with 6:22 left fn the second period. Jarrett Jeffrey notched the goal from Geoffrey. The Hawks then scored two powerplay goals in less than a minute early in the third period. Jaakko Heikinnen scored the first goal from Jeffrey and Geoffrey and then Jeffrey scored his second of the night from Heil Innen and Geoffrey. The game was marred by Thamesford's chippy play that resulted in 16 Exeter powerplays while Exeter had to kill off six shorthanded situations. Several of Exeter's power - plays were. two-man advantages allowing them to tie the game. Thamesford racked up 721 penalty minutes While Exeter had 22 minutes in the box (though the Trojans scored their last two goals on the PP). Exeter's Jon Miller will have to sit out at least a few weeks with a broken hand that occurred after a vicious slash from a Trojan player. "I'm under the impres- sion Jr. D hockey has cleaned itself up," Friyia said. "Someone should tell Thamesford that." Ryan 011son faced 38 shots between the pipes for Exeter while the Hawks threw 27 shots at , the Thamesford goal - tender. The Hawks started the weekend with a 9-3 win over host Seaforth on Friday. Exeter goaltender Ryan Sullivan faced 41 shots and stood on his head for much of the game. "Sulli played fantastic," Friyia said. "He made some highlight reel saves early on." The other r story of the game was the JJG connec-• tion of Geoffrey and Jeffrey who combined for nine points on the night. Geoffrey had five points (two goals, three assists) while Jeffrey notched four points (two goals, two assists). Friyia said Jeffrey may have outscored his line - mate if he hadn't left litter the second period due to a sore back. Their other linemate, Jason Grenier, notched a goal.�and two. assists, Other galls were scored by Dave Farquhar (from Jason Mandarelli), Nick Regier (a pair, the first unassisted, the second from Mandarelli) and Jeff Glover (from Tim Maver). Other assists went to Chris Chatterson and Jeremy Vanbergen. The Hawks are still hurt- ing: Shawn Sherwood is out a few more weeks with a broken collar bone and Greg Pilling is out till January with a broken ankle. The much antici- pated return of tough for- ward Geoff Maver is slated for Dec. 15. Last week's win and a loss puts Exeter's record at 7-7, still good for sec- ond place behind the Lucan Irish. The two teams will meet in Lucan tonight (Nov. 10) at 8:15 p.m. The Hawks continue their six game road trip with a tilt at Mitchell on Nov.. 11, a visit to Mount Brydges Nov. 13 and final- ly a trip to Belmont on Nov. 14.

Coach Bill Bourne said the aim was to wia two out of three games last week. The team ended up winning all three of its games: 5-4 over Mitchell at home on Nov. 3, 5-2 over host Port Stanley on Friday and 6-3 in Lambeth Sunday. Bourne said Irish goal - tender Jon Wickens put on a clinic versus Port. "Mr. Wickens was phe- nomenal in Port," he said. "He must of faced 50 shots including 10 big time saves." Lucan built a 5-0 lead over the Lakers including two goals in the first minute of play. "It made my debut (as head and sole coach) a lit- tle less shaky," Bourne said (for a related story on former Irish coach Jason Bukala's gradua- tion to St. Marys Jr. B, see elsewhere in Sports). In the Mitchell game, the Irish had to hang on to ward off the surging Hawks. Mitchell scored the only goal of the first period only 37 seconds into the game. Lucan copied the feat by scoring 37 seconds into the second period. Scott Wheatley scored the goal from Ryan Keating and Corey Smith. The Irish then scored two quick goals within a minute and a half, the first shorthanded and unassisted by Kevin Dunbar and the second, again unassisted, by Matt Thompson. Mitchell evened the score by ._ raring two goals in the las ' minutes of the pc Ed Et dge put Lucan up by one by scoring 8:58 into the third period from Matt Thompson and Adam Thompson. Adam Thompson notched an unassisted goal with 8:33 left in the game to give the Irish some insurance. It turned out the Irish needed the insurance because Mitchell scored with 1:21 left to make it close. After some injury prob- lems, the Irish are now healthy and are at full; strength especially with Greg Henderson back in the lineup after his duties with the University of Western Ontario Mustangs football team are over. Andrew Moriarity is also back after the UWO rugby team won the provincial championship. One half of last year's goaltending duo, Marc Williams, is back after a stint with the See IRISH page26 • JOHN DEERE et Snow. SAVE $100. 12s* Seem Mime, It's old mon winter's worst nightmare.
