Page THE HERALD Wednesday September Gems have forwards defense a problem For the first three years of Its existence the Georgetown hockey club had a Barnes In the lineup Doug Barnes was the Gems for nil three of the Junior seasons and before he went overage lie counted 110 goals to set the mark for all Gem players of the future The Gems will cry likely still have a Barnes in the lineup this season John Barnes who ployed with the Sunny Firms last year has been working out with the and by all reports is looking good John will not be i serious threat to his older brother s goal scoring records His as a will be stop forwards of other teams who arc trying to set those records He looked good in the practises said Gem gtneral manager Bob Tost He has that puck savvy that Doug has Defense is the ne area where Tost says his team may problems I think we will tx able to put the puck In the net Tost said Bui we got to come Up with some defense men The got a boost when Mark t ilby and Mnrtv Power returned after itlending Junior A camps Filby was out with and Power was skating with Niagara frails Iowtr played both defense and forwird with the Gems last season and Falby put In some lime on defenie with team after spending most of the season with th Midgets The defense men in camp arc Barnes Mark Tony Gianni who all played with the Gems last Shane Withers who has with Acton Sabres Bob a regular last year with the Gems is also back but an elbow injury has kept him from practising Tost said defenseman may be out for quite a while With only six or In camp it is doubtful the Gems will cut any of the The team does hac some excellent looking forwards on the roster and a couple of them may take a shot at Barnes scoring record if they stay with the team long enough The two best looking forwards at Sunday s practise in this reporter opinion were Greg Thompson and Lance Thompson a midget last season who ployed with the Gems during the ptavoffs looks like he has put on i lot of and with his speed shot and poise he could be one of leaders this year Hi scored his first Junior goal during the playoffs against the Strectsviik Dcrbys last year hi should turn on quite a few more goal lights this season Thompson was with Neil Cottons midget team last year is still minor midget age and could Junior hockey for another seven years if he uses his overage year Doucette is also practising with the Toronto Marl Dor midgets and he said he will decide whether go with them or stay with the Gems later this week Another forward who has been looking good in practise is Tim Turner However Turner is also trying out with a couple of tier two Junior A clubs and may not stay with the team is also trying out for couple of tier two teams One forward the Gems have lost for sure is John The forward who played both center and the wing last year Is going to play with Henry Carr Collegiate in Toronto He was out at the Gems first practise Gem management will find out this season
