The Raiders found out this week the rights of highly-touted rookie Ante Galic belong to league rival Mississauga Derbys. So the card Galic, who has been skating with. the Raiders since April, signed with Georgetown earlier this summer is void. The problem lies in that the Derbys signed an affiliation deal with the Mississauga Reps midgets of the Metropolitan Toronto . : RT ae ; "i ce ‘The Acton Rotary Club held its annual golf tournament last Monday at Guelph’s Victoria Park Golf Club. The individual winners include from left: Harry Wilkie (1st low net Rotarian), Brian Robertson of Acton (first low gross Rotarian), Stu McDonald (first low gross guest) and Dr. Al Mikelenas (first low net guest). Hockey League last month. Galic, who played with the Reps last year and is eligible to return there this season, thus becomes the property of the Derbys. The only way he could join the Raiders is to first get arelease from the Junior A club. But Raider general manager Finn Poulstrup was told by Derbys’ owner Stan Kalapaca that the Mississauga club isn’t about to telease Galic. However the Raiders won’t be the only Central Ontario Junior A club affected by this affiliation deal as a number of league teams have Mississauga Reps players currently at their camps. “J just wish I had known,”’ said Poulstrup, who found out about the affiliation deal long after it had been agreed upon. “The hard part is that Galic was the one we wanted and we ignored other to get him. “Now he’s gone and so are a lot of the others.”” Galic played for the Raiders in the recent NHL-OHA Fall Classic tournament in Etobicoke, but it was now Derbys’ property on the basis that he report to the Derbys’ training camp right after. “As far as I know he reported, but I can’t say for sure because we’re not allowed to contact him,”’ Poulstrup said, adding any attempt to talk with Galic could result in tampering charges being leveled at the Raiders. Defence is the one position the Raiders need help at this year, with the absence of veterans Rob Doucette (over age); Tom Viola (American university scholarship) and Mike Wilson (Sudbury Wolves draftee). However, Poulstrup said the Raiders will ice a competitive hockey team, with or without Galic. “We would love to have him because he has a lot of potential, but we have no control over this sit- uation,’’ “Poulstrup said. “This isn’t going to stop us-from putting together a competitive hockey club.”” Neither Kalapaca nor Galic were available for comment. Raiders, Waxers set for weekend games No offence to the forwards and CIBC claims perfect GLFFL record By Leanne Fournier CIBC broke a nine-year record with the first perfect season in Ladies’ Flag Football history. They defeated an under-manned QES squad 40-0. Burns Transport played a double header against Living Lighting on Sunday and came out on top in both contests 21-13 and 26-0. Arnie’s Body Shop captured a title of their own as Sue Ferguson posted 22 points to help her team defeat O’Tooles 51-6. Playoffs begin Sunday, September 13 with Living Lighting playing JV Jets at 8:45. The 10:00 match up sees Burns Transport play QES while Amie’s plays O’Tooles at 11:15. CIBC has a bye in the first round of the playoffs. The first match up of the day was the only close contest. Burns had scoring from Donna Davey 12, Denny Ursel six, Brenda Hamilton two and Sandra Cousens one. Nancy Rowland continues to have a great year on defence with anoth- er interception. For Living Lighting, Heather Pace and Karen Stockfish posted majors while Paula Doherty kicked a single. Their second contest took place at 12:30 under considerably differ- ent weather conditions from the morning. Sunny skies favoured Burns as Sandra Cousens scored-14 points along with help from Donna Davey for six and Denny Ursel for six. Brenda Hamilton pulled in an interception to halt Living Lighting’s offence. Arnie’s Body Shop appeared pleased with their performance on Sunday. Sue Ferguson scored 22 points including an interception return for a touchdown. Other majors were scored by Michelle Vellinga, Carol Kovacevic, Pat Brown, and Donna Brown. Kelly Cunningham and Jodi Jacob scored two-point converts and Caroline McMillan converted one. Sandra Brownridge fell in the end zone for O’Tooles to knock off the goose egg. Carol Kovacevic had the lone interception for the game. CIBC did not show signs of fal- tering at the thought of being the first team to go perfect. Monica Mastalerz found Marg Walinga for two majors and Carey Brabant for eight points. Leanne Fournier and Colleen Price and Noreen Atkinson had the other majors and Mastalerz was good for two singles. Marg Walinga snagged an interception to give her a tie for the interception title with Arnie’s Carol Kovacevic. Produ OUNTAINVIEW RD. N. & ARMSTRONG AVE., GEORGETOWN 877-9394 but coach Charlie Hanman of the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders will be keeping on eye peeled for quality defencemen this weekend. The Raiders were in Markham on Friday night for the first game of a home-and-home exhibition set with the Waxers. Tonight, the two teams return to the Alcott Arena, with faceoff time set for 7:30 p.m. The Raiders signed veteran for- wards Trevor Elinesky and Todd McKee on Tuesday, bringing their total to six so far. But only Steve Weishar) is a defencemen. The Raiders had _ signed Mississauga rep player Ante Galic earlier this summer, but Galic is property of the Mississauga Derbys, who last month signed an affiliation agreement with the Mississauga reps midget squad. So with Galic unavailable and the absence of rear guards Rob Doucette (over age), Tom Viola (university scholarship) and Mike Wilson (Sudbury Wolves), the Raiders have some holes to fill. “This is something we have to resolve soon,’’ Hanman said. “It looks like we'll be OK at forward and we’re solid in goal, but we’re young on defence. “Tt would be nice to get another veteran or two to settle the younger ones down.”” One defenceman who has caught Hanman’s eye is Erin native Kevin Moxey, who last year played major bantam for the AAA Halton Hurricanes. “He has played better than I thought he would,”’ Hanman said of the six-foot-four, 210-pounder. “He looks like a bona fide player.” Another rookie who Hanman liked was left-winger Gord Walsh. But the Newfoundland native was only here to get some ice time before heading off to the Guelph Storm’s training camp. Walsh was. Guelph’s fourth-round pick in this year’s OHL draft.
