two quick
ones in
first period
Goals 44 seconds
apart hurt Exeter
Hawks last Tuesday

EXETER - "They don't like pros-
perity."
That's what coach Dave Reving-
ton said about his Exeter Hawks
last Tuesday night moments after
tt,0y suffered a 6-4 loss to the vis-
iting Seaforth Centenaires.
Exeter was coming off of a. 5-3
win two nights earlier against
Mitchell and including Tuesdays
loss, have had a fairly successful 4-
2 record for the month of De-
cember.
From December 16 to December
30, the Hawks are faced with a tor-
turous schedule which has them
playing seven games (including an
exhibition contest) in 15 nights.
"It's got to be a factor. We haven't
been putting the body on," said
Revington about the somewhat lack
of physical play by his team.
The Centenaires opened Tuesday
night's scoring at the South Huron
Recreation Centre just 1:10 into the
game when Jason Murray scored
unassisted.
He set up three more goals before
being helped off the ice and even-
tually taken to the hospital by am-
bulance. In the third period, Murray
went down hard into the end boards
when he and Hawks' Ray Cou-
sineau were going after the puck.
After Murray scored, Exeter's Ja-
"We always come
out slow, I don't
know why."
mie Cornish let go with a shot from
the point that made its way through
a sea of legs and past Dave Nahr-
gang to tie it up.
But with 56 seconds left in the
opening period, Steve McInally
scored from Murray and Steve Gei-
ger and just 44 seconds later, this
time on a powerplay, the same trio
made it 3-1.
"We came out flat. We've come
from behind a lot. We always come
• out slow, I don't know why. We
never get good starts," said Reving-
ton.
The second period saw the
Hawks continue to struggle de-
fensively. Starting goalie Chris
Lyndon was taken 'out of the net
but within 5:15 of the middle
frame, Geiger and Brandon, Cor-
riveau got shots past Darren Kints
to make it 5-1 for the visitors.
Throughout the second, and even
a little in the third period, Reving-
ton decided to move high -scoring
forwards Cousineau and Shayne
Robinson back onto defence.
"They can skate and get to the
puck," he said.
The strategy paid off as Robinson
scored to make it 5-2. Sean
McCann followed up a Jason Gla-
vin rebound and the lead was down
to two after 40 minutes.
All six of Exeter's defensemen
looked out of position and some-
what frustrated most of the night.A
lot of games in a short time period
los wan than down.
Ts hard lo tell if they are fro-
nted," said Revington of his blue -
liners. "They are making quick de-
cisions. Collectively, its probably
the worse game our defensive corps
has had."
Another powerplay marker, again
by Robinson, this ono an end to -
end rush pulled the Hawks to with-
in a goal. They yanked Kints but
Mclnally got his third, this one into
the open net.

Gould enjoys being a referee
Exeter native in his second full year wearing arm band for the OHA
By Fred Groves
T -A staff
LUCAN - Hey ref, you're a bum...hey stupid, nice call,
hey ref, how much extra they paying you tonight...
We've all heard the jeers and abuse we heap on the guy
with the stripes. Sometimes the comments are warranted,
especially in an overly aggressive game when you think
you're team isn't getting a fair shake.
Now in his second full -season as a referee with the On-
tario Hockey Association, Exeter native Steve Gould seems
to take it all in stride - after all it comes with the trade.
Often seen at the rinks with his officiating partner Jim
Lewis, also of Exeter, and -the newcomer to their Tittle
group of travellers, Derek Martin of Zurich, Gould is keep-
ing his head about the (frozen) water.
"It's a good hobby. It's nothing for the future. It's nice to
keep in touctrwith the kids," said Gould following a recent
OHA Junior Development League game in Lucan.
Referees are kt like hockey players, they are constantly
being watched. uld has supervisors looking over his
shoulder and usually it's consistency that they are looking
for.
Prior to wearing the stripes in Junior 'D', Gould was a
linesmen for several seasons for the OHA but decided it
was time to take a shot at being a referee.
"1'm refing some Junior 'C'. I don't know when I'll get to
Junior 'B'. You have to move up the ladder," he said.
The Junior 'B' level, he is doing the lines at such places
Strathroy, London and St. Marys. With so much junior
ockey, of several levels in the area, he's usually wearing
the red arm band a couple of nights a week.
Future assignments: And what about moving up to do
Junior 'B'?
"I don't know if I'd be in line but I'd be within two or
three," said Gould.
Whether it be peewee, bantam, midget or junior, one of
the calls referees have really had to watch for is the danger-
ous checking -from -behind. More times than not, someone
in the building will disagree with the referee.
Another, and more noticeable in junior, is the roughing
after the whistle which is appearing more and more on the
game sheets.
"They want the first one called. If you get on it early in
the game it can stop a lot of hassle."
Referees get a little more pay than the linesmen. Thcy arc
in charge of the on -ice officiating and seldom do they take
the risk of getting injured from -breaking up a fight
The referee is the one who takes the abuse. He along with
his fellow officials battle the cold and lousy road wadi -
tions.
So why does the guy simply called "Gouldie" do it?
Well, on this particular night in Lucan as he is in the hall-
way talking to a reporter, and flashing that casual but ner-
vous smile, a voice says, "heh, nice game."
Not a bad comment considering it is coming from a mem-
ber of the coaching staff whose team has just lost.
The compliments are far and few between but when they
do come, they are great.
