Times-Advocate, 1983-11-09, Page 9Poo, 8 Times -Advocate, November 9, 1983 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh The weekly press release received on our desk from Columbus, Ohio concerning the activities of the Ohio State hockey Buckeyes this week is again good. The Buckeyes are now undefeated in their first seven games and Paul and Perry Pooley are con- tributing a lot to the team's early success. In the second week of play, Paul wal, selected as player of the week and the third week it was Perry's chance to shine. Of Perry's selection coach Jerry Welsh said, "He con- tributed a great deal in both games on this weekend and I think more than anything else his penalty killing was outstanding. He played well both nights and scored well Friday with two goals and two assists. He was very valuable to us." In the recent weekend series with Michigan State, the Buckeyes had two rare sho"thunded goals late in the third period on breakaways by Perry and Paul Pooley. It was the second shorthanded score for Paul this year and the first for Perry. In team statistics in the first seven games Paul leads in the scoring department with seven goals and 14 assists for 21 points. He has two power play goals and two winning game scores. Perry has taken over second place with seven goals and nine assists for 16 points. He has notched four power play goals and three game winners. The 1983-84 Buckeyes program also arrived this week and is very interesting. The synopsis on Paul Pooley says, "He is probably the Buckeyes best all-round player and deserves and likely will receive some All-American recognition this year, easily the best centre m the CCHA. Has been nam- ed to the CCHA All -Academic team twice and has over a 3.5 grade in marketing." Perry's resume says, "Scored 15 power play goals last year and is an excellent down performer. Is a key man on the second line and is a three -time OSU Scholar athlete. Royal starts tomorrow The grandaddy of all agricultural fairs, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair opens tomorrow, Thursday and runs through to Saturday, November 19. In addition to local interest among the many calf club members exhibiting in the Queen's Guineas class this 55th Royal features the Royal horse show which delights audiences with the colour, glamour and pageantry of magnificent animals including majestic Arabians, powerful Clydesdales, Hackney horses and ponies, roadsters, hunters and jumpers. One will be thrilled by riders on horseback thunder- ing up, down and around the ring during polo matches, the world's oldest team sport which originated in Cen- tral Asia five centuries ago. Also included will be Canada's best young pony club riders competing for the prestigious Prince Philip Cup and some of the world's best riders and horses com- peting in international jumping competitions including the Prix dex Nations. A Royal introduction In speaking of horses we were privileged to have an invitation to a gala celebration at the Lucan arena Sunday afternoon when Seelster Farms introduced an addition to their fine line of stallions. Groom Ron Densmore dressed in tuxedo regalia brought Lon Todd Hanover before an audience of more than 400. With Lon Todd Hanover's great two a -id three year- old stakes ability and his pedigree and conformation, Seelster Farms believe he will be the next leading sire in Ontario. He is owned by Seelster Farms and Lon Fro- cione of New York State. At two years of age, Lon Todd Hanover was the win- ner of the Hanover-Hempt stake and finished second by a nose in the Woodrow Wilson final to McKinzie Almahurst in 1.56.1. At the age of three he won the American National beating Temujin and Solid Fuel. He finished second in the Cane Elimination and was third in the final to Cam Fella and Merger. This horse displayed tremendous heart and ability in the Woodrow Wilson coming out of the 12 hole to finish second by a nose. Thanks to Gerry, Chris and Jim Van Busse! and Dr. John Brown and Lon Frocione for a cou- ple of great hours of entertainment. Time for Jays to fly While the major league baseball free agent draft will have been held before this issue hits the street we would expect the Toronto Blue Jays to be very active in trying to grab some additional talent. Most people feel the Jays have lots of money to go after free agents, but, one must remember their pre- sent players will be costing them more money in years to come. Fellows like Dave Stieb, Jim Clancy and Jesse Barfield are already under high priced contracts and a number of others are getting close to those brackets. We have thought for a long time that the fellow the Jays really needed was Kent Tekulve of the Pittsburgh Pirates and now they may have a chance for that to become a reality. If the .Jays would get a reliever of the calibre of Tekulve they would still need a good lefty out of the bull pen. The only mark against the sidearming Tekulve is that he has trouble against left handed hitters and Pirates manager Chuck Tanner has been a magician at keeping Tekulve against right handed hitters most of the time. OIL UNDERCOATING :30 Satisfaction guaranteed Dashwood Auto Sales Open Mon. -Sat. 9:30 - 6:00 237-3250 Follow with two victories Irish stop Hawks unbeaten streak with 11-5 win The Exeter Hawks had their season -long unbeaten streak snapped convincingly by the Lucan Irish, Wednes- day, but quickly rebounded for two weekend triumphs to start on another string. Ironically, that modest streak will be on the line against the same Lucan Irish when the teams square off for their third league meeting at the rec centre, Friday. After losing 11-5 to the Irish, the Hawks bombed Tavistock and Thamesford by scores of 8-2 and 5-2 respectively to move into second place, two points behind the leading Lucan crew. However, the locals have three games in hand over the Irish and one in hand over the third place Seaforth Centenaires who they lead by one point. Exeter also hosts Tavistock on Sunday night. Friday's game at the rec centre should be one of the most interesting of the season as the Hawks hope to avenge last week's loss to the Irish, who also posted a 5-5 tie in the first meeting in Exeter to start the season. Goalie keeps it close In Thamesford, Sunday, on- ly the spectacular play of Tro- jans netminder Dave Brown kept the score close as the Hawks peppered him with 54 shots and connected on only five as they scored their 5-2 triumph. The Hawks dominated play throughout the contest and Thamesford's only two suc- cessful shots came while they enjoyed a two-man advantage. Mike Clark started the Hawks off late in the first when he deked two defenders to break in alone and Brian Ilorner connected on a powerplay mid -way through the second before Thamesford scored to keep the count close. Early in the final stanza, Ed Willis and Horner tallied within 40 seconds to up the margin to 4-1 and Steve Bat- ten put in an insurance tally on a powerplay at the 7:24 mark to pull the game out of reach for the Trojans who scored fated with their second two-man advantage. Rick Lindenfield was the top play -maker for the locals as he drew three assists, while Steve Prout and Pete Tuckey had two each. Helping out on one goal were Bill Glover and Horner. Pete Dearing worked bet- ween the pipes and turned aside 20 shots in a com- paratively light chore, although he made two point- blank stops early in the third to thwart any comeback at- tempts by the home crew. Exeter sat out 13 of the 23 minors called in the game. Tuckey paces win The Hawks had little dif- ficulty disposing of the defen- ding OHA champion Tavistock Braves when the squads met for their first en- counter at the rec centre, Friday. Exeter peppered 51 shots at netminder Mike Oliver enroute to their 8-2 win. They led 3-0 after the first, upped that to 5-1 in the second and outscored the Braves 3-1 over the final stanza. Pete Tuckey paced the win with a hat trick performance, while Mike Clark contributed a pair. Singles came off the sticks of Steve Prout, Steve Batten and Jeff Rowe. Referee Bill Walsh wasn't very generous with assists as he posted only nine for the Hawks. Those went to Scott Brintnell, Rowe, Rick Lather, Rick Lindenfield, Kris Bedard, Ed Willis, Prout, Clark and Brian Horner. Dave Rook stopped 28 shots to post the win in the nets. The contest was one of the tamest played by Exeter so far this season as they sat out eight penalties, while the Braves had only six. Bill Glover and Brad Zehr were banished for fighting early in the third. Walsh and his mates miss- ed a hard chop administered to Scott Brintnell by goalie Mike Oliver that kept the local winger on the bench through most of the final period. Thumped by Irish Exeter Hawks number one fan Derry Boyle announced in the pressbox two weeks ago that the Lucan Irish planned to beat the Hawks by luring them into penalties. He didn't disclose the source of the information, but it is now academic, as the Irish fulfilled the plan on Wednesday and drubbed the locals by a convincing 11-5 count. With referee Bill Walsh con- tributing his ability to uspet the Hawks, the Irish took full advantage of the lack of discipline shown by the locals and scored five powerplay goals and added two more as Exeter players just stepped back on the ice and were still out of the play after serving penalties. Aided by two Exeter defen- sive giveaways, the Irish took a 3-1 lead in the first period, but the Hawks looked as though they would turn the contest into a route in their favor when they came out smoking in the second period THE GANG'S ALL HERE = Lucan netminder AI Moon makes a flying leap to stop Exeter's Ed Willis who managed to get off a shot despite being surrounded by Lucan's entire line in Wednesday's tilt in Lucan, which the Irish won by a convinc- ing 11-5 score. Among the Irish players shown are Brad Hodgins (6), Jeff Skinner (16), and Al Craig (8). Mohawks off and flying The Exeter Mohawks, defending South Huron in- termediate hockey league champions picked up where they left off last year. Sunday in Parkhill the Mohawks gained a hard fought 7-5 victory over the Parkhill Diggers, the newest team in the league. The Mohawks will make their first home appearance Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. at the South Huron Rec Centre with the Zurich Buckeyes pro- viding the opposition. The same two teams meet Sunday in Zurich. Jim Guenther has taken over the dual role as player - coach for the Mohawks with Dan Brintnell returning as manager and Bev Burtch is back as trainer. Former Centralia Marauder Mark Cronyn led the Mohawks in a scoring way with three goals and one assist while Brian Taylor fired two successful shots and added one assist. The Mohawks jumped in front 2-1 in the first period on goals by Brian Taylor and Brian Mercer with assists go- ing to Brad Daters, Mark Cronyn and Brent Atthill. Terry Martyn replied for Waxers get big victory Saturday in Goderich the Exeter Waxers came up with one of their best efforts of the season as they edged Goderich 5-4 in an exciting novice hockey game which saw two Exeter goals disallowed and penalty shot granted Goderich with 11 seconds. Sean McCann opened the scoring at 3:32 of the .first period with an unassisted ef- fort. McCann notched his se- cond of the game while Ex- eter was short-handed. Jeff Lingard also scored two, one of them short- handed, with assists to Ryan Stuart, Steve Farquhar and Joel Smith. Smith scored his fourth of the season with Lingard and Webster drawing the assists. With 11 seconds left in the game, a penalty shot was granted Goderich on a ques- tionable call. Goalie Darren Kints came up the winner to ensure the victory for Exeter. Sunday in Exeter the Wax- ers' defensive unit of Char- rette, Parsons, Webster and Smith played exceptionally as they downed the previously unbeaten Lucan team 3-0. Darren Kints recorded his first shutout making key saves in the third period. Steve Farquhar had two goals while the single went to Jeff Lingard, the brilliant play - making centre. Joel Smith added to his point total assisting on all three goals. "Players of the week" for the Waxers were Joel Smith, Sean McCann and Jeff Lingard. Parkhill. . In the second period, the Mohawks hopped in front 5-1 before Parkhill scored twice in the last six minutes of play. Mark Cronyn, Tom Ryan and Brian Taylor were the Exeter marksmen with Brian Mercer nicking up two assists and Steve Pfaff and Brian Blackburn each helping on one score. - Terry Martyn and Doug Hawkins were the middle period scorers for Parkhill. In the third period, Mark Cronyn completed his hat trick performance with two goals on plays organized by Barry Baynham, Brian Taylor and Brad Daters. Paul Andrews and Brian Martyn notched the last two Parkhill scores. Doug Fait'bliirn and Tom Steeper, both returnees from a year ago shared the Exeter goal tending duties. GLOVER ON MOON — Exeter Hawks centre Bill Glover was set up for a breakaway in Wednesday's game in Lucan and he managed to score on goalie Al Moon. However, the Irish rebounded with seven unanswered third period goals to thrash Exeter by an 11-5 count. The teams square off at, the rec centre this Friday in their continuing battle for first place. Atoms get one point The Exeter atofns gained one point in two Shamrock minor hockey games this week.
