Page 28— Halton Hills This Week, Saturday, November 7, 1992' Raiders’ Merceyhurst trip a huge success Continued from page 27 "I've got nothing to gain by going to another team," a disap- pointed Gendron said. "From a hockey stand point you can't beat the OHL, but it's time for me to get my life iny order. All I want to do is help Georgetown. Right now all Ian do is wait.” The Gendron news severely dampened the news that, technical- ly, the Raiders’ nine-game losing streak had been halted.

So, not only does the OHA’s decision improve Georgetown’s record to 4-8, but it technically reduces the Raiders’ losing streak to six games, the number of con- tests played since the Caledon matchup. But you’d have a hard time con- vincing Poulstrup of that fact. “Tt doesn’t in my opinion,’’ he said. “The players have won three games and I’ve won one.’’ Raiders’ officials contacted the Canadiens prior to the Oct. 15 game and informed the Caledon brass that if Spagnol played a protest would be filed to the OHA. The shifty forward did play, prompting the Raiders to send in the protest. Georgetown wasn’t alone in fil- ing its protest. Both Royal York and Burlington did so prior, and were presented wins as well. The trio of losses drops Caledon from the ranks of the unbeaten. The Canadiens, who were 8-0-1 and second behind Brampton in the East Division standings, are now 5- 3-1 and in the middle of the pack. The sixth-place Raiders, who are only two points ahead of last-place Royal York in the standings, are now only two points behind both Oakville and Mississauga. Georgetown’s Mike McHale (left) gets a chance to meet hockey great OHA president Brent Ladds said there wasn’t much difficulty in reaching the decision. Ladds added he feels the miscue came the result of inexperience on Caledon’s part. The Canadiens entered the Central League this season after ceasing operations a couple of years back as a Junior C franchise. “Maybe they figured that because he (Spagnol) played only one game with the Derbys last year that his rights belonged to the Metro League,” Ladds said. However, Poulstrup didn’t echo Ladds’s sentiments. “We talked to them before going up there and told them if they played (Spagnol) we would protest, and they went ahead an played him,”’ Poulstrup said. “Maybe the protest could’ve been overturned can’t flauntingly break the rules.”” n Wednesday the Raiders returned from a successful trip to Erie Penn., to visit the campus of Merceyhurst College. There, the Georgetown team took on the school’s junior varsity hockey team, coming away with a 9-8 vic- tory. After, the Raiders took in the season-opening contest for the Merceyhurst varsity squad, which claimed a 4-2 victory.
