CAMPING OUT: Four local minor hockey graduates who have moved on to elite levels served as instruc- tors for the third-annual Pasma Hockey Development camp held at the Mold-Masters SportsPlex.

The camp continues this week. Pictured above, front, from left, are: Nolan Murphy, Ryan Jackson, Cameron Cassels and Josh Frost.

Honour & Glory II drew about 750 spec- tators for the World Amateur Muay Thai As- sociation of Canada sanctioned card, which featured 15 fights. Sixteen-year-old Austin Skelhorn of Cir- caFit overwhelmed Cambridge's Harjab Singh with a flurry of blows immediately af- ter the touching of gloves and the bout was halted just over a minute into the opening round in a battle of 155-pounders. Georgetown's Austin Large, 20, prevailed over Tyler Foster of Cambridge in a unani- mous decision in the 135-pound division, while CircaFit teammate Zach Vandervelde lost his 125-pound category bout against Stoney Creek's Benny Otoru. Milton's Craig Gadd won over Ali Yousef of Stoney Creek to earn the WAMTAC On- tario Heavyweight Title in front of about 750 spectators in the Alcott Arena. In an earlier bout, Melaine Logan of Mil- ton lost in a unanimous decision to Aisha Muslim of Revolution MMA in Toronto in a women's contest. The much-anticipated WAMTAC Welterweight Title clash between Amin Almelik and Cambridge's Daniel Ke- chago was declared a non-title bout after Kechago was unable to make the pre-fight weight limit of 145 lbs.

The team competed in five Minor Track Association of Ontario meets this spring and summer, including the recent provin- cial championships in Oshawa, in which the NHTFC placed 29th overall out of 47 clubs. Head coach Jeff Miller said he was thrilled with the progress of the athletes, many of whom were introduced to new track & field disciplines that they hadn't participated in with their school programs. The NHTFC played host to its own meet last Sunday at Acton High School, where 50 local club members competed in select events. Miller added that the club is starting up its cross-country running season next month and anyone interested can sign up by visiting bit.ly/nhtrack2015 Top-10 finishes for NHTFC athletes at the provincial championships in Oshawa included: Avery Lake - 1st mite girls' shot put (5.50m), 6th long jump (2.92m), 10th 400m (1:34.50); Kael Lake - 6th tyke boys' shot put (6.91m); Harrison Szanto - 6th tyke boys' high jump (1.01m); Stefana Suta - 7th tyke girls' 200m (32. 31); Brynn Miller - 9th atom girls' shot put (6.82m); Liam Miller - 8th tyke boys' shot put (6.84m), 10th 400m (1:23.70); Taryn Bird - 10th senior girls' 200m hurdles (39.90); Jordan Bird - 10th tyke boys' 100m (16.46).

Submitted photo Training camp gets underway this week for the Georgetown Jr. A Raiders at the Mold- Masters SportsPlex with the start of the On- tario Junior Hockey League season a little more than two weeks away. The Raiders begin a busy ex- hibition schedule at home this Thursday against the Oakville Blades at 3:30 p.m. at the Alcott Arena. On Saturday, Sept. 5, the Blades will also serve as the op- position for Georgetown's regular- season opener in a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. Raiders' head coach & GM Greg Walters had several graduating players to replace over the spring and summer following last season's sooner-than-expected playoff exit at the hands of the Toronto Jr. Canadiens in a second-round sweep. Among the off-season acquisitions were local resident Daniel Hardie, a 17-year-old winger from the Hal- ton AAA Hurricanes, along with forwards Jordan Crocker and Lu- cas Goodman from the Bramp- ton Jr. B Bombers. The Raiders also have pre- season contests in Oakville Friday, Aug. 28, split-squad games on Satur- day, Aug. 29 at home against Mississauga and away to Milton, finishing up with a trip to Mississauga's Iceland Arena on Wednes- day, Sept. 2 to take on the Chargers.
