long nights between the pipes at Gordon Alcott Arena He looks back on several championship clubs during his minor hockey career the and even his brief stint with the powerhouse with mixed emotions Its nice lo be on a winner but its tough to sharpen your skills when you see just 15 shots per game In Georgetown Id get a minimum of 15 shod per period he laughs As for the future Cowley talked with
