Hawks manager pa" ia
Despite all kinds of diversities
Fred Mommersteeg, manager
of the Exeter Hawks junior
hockey club is very satisfied
with his team's showing this year.
Currently trailing the Belmont
Ronwood Bombers three games
to two in the first round of OHA
playoffs, the Hawks surprised
a lot of people by winning the first
two games of the series.
Mommersteeg told the News
Monday morning, "1 am really
proud of the team. We have come
through a lot of troubles this year.
First a number of our players
went south for holidays, then
we had a change in coaches,
closing of the arena and now an
unending streak of injuries."
Mommersteeg continued,
"On the whole, I am very pleased
with the way the season has gone.
'Certainly not much else can go
wrong. We are a young team and
they have done everything we
have asked of them."
On the subject of injuries, the
Exeter manager said, "all
injuries have come due to heavy
checks from the Belmont op-
position. I think the referees
should have a better eye for
intent to injure. Sure, they may
get a two minute roughing
penalty but we lose a boy for the
rest of the season."
Currently out of action are
Fred and Rick Mommersteeg,
Steve Jennison and Phil Knight,
"I'm really proud of our guys.
If Belmont forgot about the
rough stuff we could beat them
as we can skate with any team
in the league. I'm happy that our
team doesn't retaliate. I'm proud
of them," continued Mommer-
steeg,
ed at 12.20. Ron Rader rounded
out the scoring at 19.08 as he
converted a pass from Kevin
McKinnon.
Wayne Clemens picked up
truly deserved first star honours,
followed by teammates Jim Laird
and Ron Corriveau of the Flyers.
The Flyers now have their
backs to the wall and must win
Thursday night in 'Medford
in order to prolong the series.
If the Flyers manage to win
Thursday evening the next game
will be Sunday afternoon in the
Zurich arena at 2 p.m.
