Yet on the eve of the regular season, the Golden Hawks instead turned to another veteran, Daniel Urbani, and released Mas- ters to the delight of Walters, who quickly snapped up the part-time Wilfrid Laurier University economics student. One of the most-anticipated matchups of the OJHL schedule comes up this Satur- day when the 33-4-1-2 Golden Hawks visit Georgetown's Alcott Arena beginning at 7:30 p.m. "I'm not going to lie. I got bumped around a bit in the summer and when I figured I was coming to play in Georgetown, I made note of when we played Trenton," added Masters. "They have a great team over there and we've seen what they've been doing. It's a big two points in the standings because we want to finish first in our conference over Buffalo, since the South team automatically gets sec- ond. We just want to keep going in the right direction come playoff time." The 6-foot, 185-pound Masters sports the initials P.J.D. on his goalie mask as a tribute to his late grandfather Patrick John Doherty, known as Mr. Hockey in Kitchener, who passed away in August at the age of 87. Doherty was involved many aspects of amateur hockey in the Kitchener-Waterloo area for more than a half-century, including serving as OHA chairman and advice-dis- penser to his grandson. "My first hockey memories were centered around him at Wilson Arena in Kitchener," Masters recalled. "He had a big reputation. Any time I walked into an arena with him, we weren't going very far before he was going to get stopped by someone." NOTES: The sputtering Mississauga Chargers offered up little resistance Satur- day as the Raiders jumped out to a 4-1 first- period lead and outshot their opponents 33-14. Arran MacDonald, Jordan Crocker, Daniel Hardie, Ashur Elliott, Josh Dickinson and Court were the goal scorers and rookie Billy Day earned the win in goal…George- town's next game is in Aurora Friday evening versus the Tigers...Veteran centre Brendan Jacome of Caledon has committed to attend the University of Ottawa next season. TEAM OF THE WEEK: Seven players and the coaching staff from the first-place Halton bantam AAA Hurricanes were selected to take part in the South Central Triple-A (SCTA) all-star game as part of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association's Minor Midget Showcase Weekend at the Seymour- Hannah Recreation Complex in St. Catharines. The players also took part in a combine that included on- and off-ice fitness testing. Four Georgetown residents were chosen for the all-star contest including goaltender Jack Waddick (front right), centre Spencer Hazel (top row, third from right), defenceman Lucas Peric (injured, unable to play) and head coach Mark Biesenthal (top row, far right). Also in the photo are assistant coach Luke Colavecchia, Joseph Burel (Palgrave), Mitchell Brewer (Millgrove), Jacob Coulson (Caledon), Liam Galton (Erin), Tanner Wickware (Milton). The Hurricanes are having their best season to date with a record of 24-2-3 with seven games left in the SCTA's regular season. Submitted photo Continued from page 38
