4 Sports & Leisure, Friday, May 4, 2007 Expect Raiders to be younger, but still competitive, in 2007-08 Continued from pg. 1 Still, Freeman, a coach in the GTHL for 13 years with Jr. A experience in Richmond Hill, Ajax and Bramalea, has been thrilled with the progress in the scouting department thus far, even though official signings won't commence until July. Georgetown does have building blocks to work with as veteran goalie Marc Stuart has commited to the Raiders for his final junior year, as have forwards Matt Carter and Jeremy Whelan. Defender Evan Zych of Kilbride may put off going to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst for another season while youngsters Adamo Miceli and Spencer Metcalfe are headed for OHL tryouts. "I don't think we want to be as old as this team has been in the past couple of years, but we won't have a lineup full of (16-and 17-year-olds), either," said the 50-year-old Freeman, from Etobicoke. "At this time next year, we want to have six holes to fill and not 17. You like to have that continuity between the players and the fans where they're not just here for a few months and then gone. Our players are going to run practices for minor hockey teams in town and be a big part of the community. It's not often in junior hockey that you get to work in a quality situation with the quality people Mr. Nishi has brought together and I'm looking forward to it." Freeman added that the team is accepting applications on its website until May 16 for its pre-season tryout camp, to be held May 26-27 at the Canadian Ice Academy in TED NISHI Mississauga. Approximately 100 players will be invited to attend. NOTES: Former Georgetown GM Jack Moon will return to the club as vice president next season and Joe Laise is back in the assistant GM's position...The Raiders have also hired on a new promotions manager, Carmen Campagna...Outgoing Raider captain Wade Finegan of Etobicoke will attend Bowling Green University in Ohio next season...Acton resident Gerome Giudice scored two goals during the regular season for the OHL's Sudbury Wolves but had three markers and three assists in 11 post-season games heading into the East Conference final with Belleville before an injury sidelined the 6-foot-2, 200pound 17-year-old, likely for the rest of the Wolves' surprising playoff run.
