Times Advocate, 1984-09-19, Page 81 t Pao* 8 TImes-Advocate, September 19, 1984 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Thanks to the recent Canada Cup telecasts, interest in local hockey should get off to a good start. The more than 100 participants in the Exeter Minor Hockey Association program have been on ice for almost two weeks at the Stephen township arena. In addition the two are Junior 'D' hockey clubs have also started practices. The Exeter Hawks and Lucan Irish are each starting out this year with new officials. The Hawks will have Doug Latta behind the bench as coach with Tony Jones handling the managerial duties. Similar to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Hawks will have an assistant coach for the first time in the per- son of Keith Hartwick. Latta and Hartwick were valuable members of the Lucan Irish when that club won the provincial Junior 'D' championship in 1981-82. In Lucan, the coach for the last three years Dave Revington has moved on to Junior B company with the Strathroy Blades. Taking over is Ed Parkinson who spent a number of years as a player with the Lucan- Ilderton Jets in senior ranks. The Hawks and Irish have each been attracting about 25 players to their early practices and if any newcomers would like to join the workouts they will be more than welcome. This season the Western Junior D clubs will each be allowed to sign two imports. In previous years if a team could not find a suitable goaltender within their normal area they could pick up one up through a goalie assistance rule. In these instances all clubs in the league had to ap- prove the what really amounted to an import goalie. This import rule will now cover any such probabilities. The Irish and the Hawks will meet in an exhibition game in Lucan on Wednesday, September 26 and in the first regular schedule home game for the Hawks in Ex- eter, October 12. The Irish start their regular season at home against the Mitchell Hawks on October 10. Tigers are in By the time this issue hits the street, the Detroit Tigers will likely have clinched the American league's eastern division championship. Thanks mainly to their flying start, the Tigers should be the first of the four division winners to be ac- claimed and the only one to win at least 100 games. The Tigers need only five victories in their last 13 games to hit the century mark and make Sparky Ander- son the first manager to win 100 games or more in both major leagues. He accomplished this feat three times with the Cincinatti Reds. The Detroit Tigers is the only one this year which can boost of total attendances in excess of two million fans, both at home and away. The Toronto Blue Jays are also hitting a new crowd mark. For the first time in their eight year history, the Jays will exceed two million in home attendance. With seven home dates remaining, the Toronto club needs only 47,619 fans to hit two million. Any area fans still thinking of ordering playoff and World Series tickets in Detroit, you can forget it. The Tigers have stopped taking applications. The first two American league playoff games will be played in the park of the western winners in either Min- nesota, Kansas City or California on October 2 and 3. The Tuesday game will be in the daytime with the Wednesday contest at night. The next three games if necessary will go October 5, 6 and 7 in Detroit and all will be at night. If the Tigers and Chicago Cubs make the World Series, the first two games will be played in the American league city on the nights of October 9 and 10 with the next three going as day games in Chicago Oc- tober 12, 13 and 14. If the Cubs don't make the fall classic then the scheduling will be reversed starting in the National league on the same dates with night games.
