Lowe Little did Darren Lowe know trying a realize what every hockey playing youth In Canada only dreams about could cause so many probtcms Lowe was a member of the 1984 Canadian Olympic leam that narrowly missed claiming a medal at the Games After the Olympics Lowe joined Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockcj League on an amateur The stipulation here was Lowe could play up lo 10 games with Pittsburgh on a basis If the Penguins liked what they saw they then had the option of offering Lowe a professional contract If the Penguins figured Lowe could not crack their lineup then they could simply release him Bui Lowe would still be an araaieur player because he did not professional contract and play in a professional league However because he played in the National Hockey League the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union CIAU deemed him ineligible for this season for of Toronto Varsity Blues where he played last year So as an alternative Lowe decided he would play with Georgetown Chrysler Raiders of the On I Senior A Hockey League the remainder of the season But his brief stint in Pittsburgh is reluming to haunt him once a gam Last week the Raiders received two protests involving Cam Bolting and Lowe The first one was from Cambridge Hornets and the second came from Colling Shipbuilders Friday night in Georgetown romp ai Ihe Arena Last year Boiling played two games with Erie of the Atlantic Coast League before coming to Georgetown He signed before the Dec 31 cut line date was not deemed an import last year Both protests came as Ihe result of a league meeting Feb Woodstock where discussion of the league rule on the amount of reinstated pros allowed lo play in a game arose The league rules stale all learns are allowed to sign sue ex pros or university players who are deemed imports but only play three in a game Raider officials interprets the rule as meaning any three can play any given game but the other teams in the senior league now say that rule means teams can only play the first three imports signed Last Lowe played university hockey and could be regarded as an import creep he signed before the Dec date which means had he signed after that date be would be deemed an import player and would be involved in the three allowed to play But what other team officials are claiming last be should be deemed a pro and therefore should not be able to until the Raiders are out of league playoffs because he was not one of the first three imports signed The whole situation of making Lowe a pro infuriates Raider coachgeneral manager Gil Eyre for one minute will I count Darren Lowe as being a pro the Olympics were over Darren Lowe had an eightgame amateur with Pittsburgh but be was still Orympun As for Lowe himself be is
