players It had on Juvenile cards says the team general manager Bob Webster told The Herald when the Gemlnis put a minor hockey player on a midget or Juvenile card It is with the Intent that the player will play with the and thus become Gemlnis property This comes as a result of a story The Herald ran last week pertaining to the Gemlnis use of juvenilecarded players Todd Cull John Hodgson and Glen Leslie All three players are listed as being members of the DRG Stationery juvenile team that Is now playing Richmond Hill in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association OMHA finals However the three are not inr uniform for the final because they played more than four gameswiththeGemlnisaftertheJan lOcutdown date The Gemlnis are allowed three minor cards to sign minor players each year Those three are not included In the 30 Junior B cards the Gemlnis receive at the beginning of the year When a minor player is on a minor card he Is allowed to practise and play with both the Gemlnis and his minor team Up

play with the minor squad On Jan 10 cut their Junior cards down to 19 players But the three minor cards are not Included In that Should any one of the three minor card players play in more than three
