•Th e IFP• H alton H ills, Thursday, February 13, 2014 19 SPORTS Don't miss Georgetown Hockey Heritage Awards Dinner Monday, March 3, Acton Legion For tickets call 905-877-6710 Seven chosen for Winter Games Swimmers from Georgetown Dis- trict High School dominated the Hal- ton championship meet on Tuesday in Hamilton, winning all but one of the ten team titles that were awarded at McMaster University. It's the 15th straight year that the Rebels have captured the overall team championship banner at the Halton meet. Their final point total of 1,546 was almost double that of the run- ners-up from Oakville-Trafalgar. GDHS is also the five-time de- fending OFSAA champion. All Rebel swimmers at the Halton champion- ships placed in the top 14 and move on to the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference meet Feb. 18 at McMaster University, which serves as a qualifier for the provincial finals, to be held March 4-5 at the Wayne Gretzky Cen- tre in Brantford. For individual results from the meet, visit the website www.theifp.ca Halton Hills will be well represented at the upcoming Ontario Winter Games girls' hockey tournament in Muskoka with no fewer than seven players having been selected to play in the bi-annual event. Just one of the players, forward Kayla Fillier, plays for the locally based North Halton Twisters' organization, with the others scattered around in centres such as Oakville, Cambridge and Stoney Creek. Approximately 400 players age 15 and under from around the province audi- tioned for Ontario Women's Hockey Asso- ciation officials in the initial tryout stage and that number was whittled down to 160 for the final cut, featuring bantam and midget-age skaters. For the tourna- ment, those athletes will be divided into eight teams, to be named after well- known women's national team members. "It's really a celebration of hockey for the players and their parents," said OWHA president Fran Rider. "This is an introduction to our High Performance Program and there'll be an educational component for the players and their families where they'll be able to investigate some long-term opportunities with respect to post-secondary education. The NCAA recruits heavily in Ontario and Canadian universities also have a lot to of- fer student-athletes." The tournament runs Feb. 28 to March 2 in Baysville, with the championship game slated for the Summit Centre in Huntsville. Seven Georgetown residents have been chosen to participate in the women's hockey tourna- ment at the Ontario Winter Games in Muskoka.

Leckie also captured gold in the 200m freestyle race in another dominant performance by the reigning provincial high school champions. Nikki Wesley, Metroland Media Group Crucial victory for Raiders Before the Ontario Junior Hockey League's break for the holidays, the Georgetown Raiders couldn't beat a team from the loop's East Division. But after Monday evening's 3-2 comeback overtime win in Cobourg against the Cougars, the West Divi- sion's Raiders have reeled off three straight from the East, which is con- sidered by many to be the toughest di- vision in the OJHL. The Raiders were 0-6-0 against East teams before blank- ing Trenton 4-0 here on Jan. 4. Late-season acquisition Steven Mueller scored the unassisted marker 1:19 into the overtime period to clinch the two points after Cobourg had tak- en a 2-0 first-period lead in front of about 450 spectators.
