Open Until pm PHONE PLAYING THE FIELD Gems lacking experience Before a baby can walk it must firs learn to crawl That same principle can be applied to the Georgetown Gem In Is The Central Ontario Junior Hockey League team is having a rough It so far this on The have on overall record of I wins 17 losses and three tics which is good igh for eighth spot In the nine team league The team goal for average Is the second lowest in he league while its goals against mark is second highest But that is not say the hockey club is lacking in talent The problem with the club Is it has not established a sense of consistency In its play One night the Gcminis can set the world on fire while being anything but the next evening is the reason for the inconsistency Quite simply experience This years roster is made up of young players who have not been exposed to junior hockey either at alt or for just one year But the only way these players are going to learn though is to play every day and literally experience everything first hand The problems we re having are youth problems said general manager Bob Webster We correct one and another comes ft looks like we might have to surfer a little like this now In order to get some training in Still with the Geminls Webster said the team will have a new goal lender in camp soon That is because he team has been using affiliate midget and juvenile goalies so far and with the Jan 10 cut down dale coming Webster feels it is about time the team got a goalie for the rest of the The newcomer will be Sudsy who last year played for University of Wisconsin Badgers of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the United States He Is currently playing intramural hockey at York University Ive talked to people at Wisconsin and he highly recommended Webster said After Jan 10 league rules stipulate teams can only use affiliate goalies three more times the of the year By the way Sudsy is a nickname but no one knows this goalies first name The Jan wont present any il problems far the They would have lo down to cards but only have 17 carded players now so they wilt not have to cut any players In the two cards Webster has arc import cards which
