Peterson had two Great chance on the Raider first power play of the night He first hit the post on a drive from the point and then was lopped by when he moved in close After the Raiders failed to on the power play Hooper was called upon to make two good saves He first stopped a hot driveoff the slick of Saso and made a glove save on a from The visitors gave the Raid another power play when went off for made his one blatant mistake of the evening when his learn was a man short He left his net lo chase the puck in the corner He was checked off the puck by who hustled back to make the stop off Talc but he was out because he had lo slide 10- feet to be there for the shot gathered in the rebound and put it into an The Kudrasovs line was the best Raider unit in the final period They had many chanc es and scored both Raider goals Fotheringham scored from in close to finish off the scoring wilh Kudrasovs and earning the assists dashed out the vicious bodycheck of the night when he Kavel with his head down center Ice Currle and Colton had hit Yugoslavs with good body- checks earlier In the game who played his best game of the season Bald the Yugoslavs play a style of hockey that the Raiders have not gone up against before They try to carry the puck across the instead of dumpVig It in Captain said I think if they played here more they would change the of play because its not loo effective he was at the core but he was surprised how well his team played When we want play we can beat anybody the coach said We were at our best in firs two periods also said he was at all impressed wilh the Yug oslavs The only reason they looked in the lasl period Tibbitts said Is his team stopped hilling I do not ihink thai they skate that well they dont like the rough stuff and ihey 11 only move the puck if they re not being checked he said The coach did not seem to be surprised his team scored three goals Their thinking was all of Tibbllt said Even on the power play you should be thinking of defense some- I did not tell my players to do anything differently tonight coach said I just told them to go out and play their The Yugoslavs for the moat part played a European brand of hockey The one aspect or which seemed lo be North American was their shooting They used almost exclusively When was within 10 feci of Hooper late in he game he let a sizzling drive go It was five feet too high A wrist shot in that instance would have been much more The Yugoslavs did not seem very concerned Raiders roaming In front of their net When big Daley was In front of net the Yugoslavs would not go wilhin five feet of him They usually sent more than one man after the puck In the leaving one Raider free in front of the net loss The Gems now trail In alio losing the first game IJ1 Sportt Comment Raiders peak Wed against Yugoslavs The Georgetown Chrysler Raiders reached a peak on Wednesday night when ihey dumped the Yugoslavian Team They played exceptional hockey probably bcsl they have played this year and totally dominated the game Every Holder lhat coach Junior summoned onto ice gave it his all The players certainly had plenty of incentive There had never been a bigger crowd at Alcult Arena to see a Raider game before They also had ihe added incentive of going up against a countrys national team said the gome thai he thought ihe Raiders would not have a psychological let down for the league games Well the Raiders had two big league games right after the Yugoslavia match and dropped bolh of them As a result of the losses lo the Thar old Athletics and Merchants Hie Raiders now find themselves in a dog light to hold onto first place Had they won those two games they would have had first place nil clinched Tibbitts said Ihe team was really down for the Thorold He sold thai Thorold goaltender Bill hero pi la was at his sparkling best and lhal the Raiders did everything score by in second period the Merchants the Raiders let them get too far ahead before turning It on There was also a little dissension on Ihe Raider bench during the game Bob who played an excellent game gainst the Yugoslavs was benched for the third period Rumor has it and had words after ihe slick Raider winger complained that he was gelling enough passes thrown his way The Raiders musl now get Iheir act together after reaching a high poinl of the season They must now reach another high for ihe seasons few remaining games and the upcoming playoffs The new Raider face in lineup Is Gene who is wearing sweater number 17 He plays defense and gives the Raiders seven dcfcnscmcn which is least one loo many The odd man out appears lo be rookie Larry Peterson The former Gem star did dress for Fridays game he is perfectly healthy Raider captain John seems be coming into tils own again after going through of a slump He played his best game of Ihe season against Ihe He was carrying and moving the puck well and also using his body effectively However the Raiders must now Yugoslavs behind them and ready themselves for the playoffs which ore going lo be tough Both the Merchants and Athletics are playing top notch hockey now and they arc going to be Raiders stiff est competition The Raider victory over Yugoslavs was great entertainment and a great ego for Ihe team but its now back to the grindstone Bob Thompson president of the Georgetown Gemini was a peeved no one consulted Gem management about relinquishing the ice time for the Yugoslav match The Gems usually practice from 45 to on Wednesdays He said neither the Raider organization nor the arena management contacted the Gems about giving up Ice lime The Gems then had to play the Strcelsville Ihe second game of their series without having a practice We could have used the practice Thompson said Sure you could say lhat all the practice in the world would not help us against the but thats not the poinl No attempt was made to accommodate the Gems at another time Bobs son Greg and Mike did look of place against the Derbys in the second game They should both be In Gemini uniforms next year They arc both growing boys and a little site they could bolh be fine additions to the team However fact that they were in Ihe lineup shows how thin the Gem lineup Is and how Utile coach Ron Dixon has to work with The Gems may as well have kissed Saturdays game goodbye after Tony Doug Barnes and Joe South got thrown out of the Gem After lhat they were no match for One Georgetown junior who could be a great help the Gems is the aforementioned The Raider isstill of junior the Gems could sure use his speed and bus lie against the Derbys One Ihlng Is certain The Gems are going to be in for a rebuilding next year They finished sixth barely this year and they had Barnes and South in the lineup They will lose Barnes and Shortill for sure and probably South Barnes and South are going to be particularly hard lo replace They are among the top players in Ihe league The Gems could also lose their top young player in Mark He is still midget age and should be drafted by same Junior A team Among the midgets who should have a very good shot making the team next year are Thompson Mark and Billy Taylor a Utile refining could be an excellent player He has good size and speed and from what I heard Saturday night he can also take care of himself All the young really lacks Is experience against Junior clubs although hes played more games than any other midget Brian McKay the professional squash player from Australia and now along with his wife Heather the pro at the Toronto Racquet Club said that womens squash is jusl like womens tennis It has lagged behind Ihe mens game in money being paid to Ihe players His wife has been the top women squash player in the world for the past IB years or so McKay did say that Ihe money is gelling better couple of weeks ago Mrs McKay put on a marvellous performance at the Georgetown Racquet Club She was never really going full lilt she made some great and gave the people in attendance moneys worth Mrs McKay actually proves things That women can play excellent squash and that they can do it over a long period of time She is now years old but remains In great shape in a sport that dictates competitors be in top shape Brian does play a bad game cither He is rated In top 10 over among squash players in Toronto and from what heard he apparently defeats his wife in most of their matches There were many women present for McKays exhibition The club members are hoping that many women will take up the sport when the facilities ore expanded Theyre also hoping that juniors will also join the Right now the members of the club are all male and over IB Patterson Insulation defeats Acton Tigers Patterson Insulation out gunned the Acton Tigers by a
