While the season, overall, might be considered a disappointment in some quarters (a seventh place fin- ish in an eight-team division), Raiders’ remarkable rally over the past two months to secure a playoff spot bodes well for the future prospects of this still-maturing Raiders rampage to the playoffs - six wins in their past eight outings - was a combination of good coach- ing, hard work by the players and a determination to close out the sea- son on a high note with pride intact. playoff berth might not have been attained. But it should be noted that pride has always been an integral part of the Raider organiza- tion - from past through to the pre- sent - and for the most part, it has been the doubters who were left choking on the Zamboni fumes. Regardless of how far down the playoff load the Raiders travel, the surge to the playoffs lays a good - and promising - foundation for future fortunes. Raiders will play the West Division’s regular season second- place finisher (still to be decided) in Chinguacousy has After closing out Brampton three Straight in the opening round of OMHA playoffs, the JDP Computer Minor Bantam Hurricanes have won the opening two games in con- vincing fashion against Chinguacousy Blues. Ching had beaten Burlington after five games in their first round while the Hurricanes waited for a winner. The first game last Saturday at Victoria Park was a barnburner and in doubt until the third period, when Halton scored three a best-of-five series which, accord- ing to Raider sources, must be com- pleted by March 8. The second game in the series would be played at Georgetown’s Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena. Last Thursday, Raiders journeyed to Caledon for a game with the hometown Canadiens. At press time, the result was not available. Tonight, 7:30 p.m. at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena, Raiders tangle vee Halton-rival Burlington Cougar: The final chapter on the 1992-93 regular season will be closed Sunday, when the Raiders travel to Mississauga. the blues second set up Davis who did his goals. Peter Mashinter was in the perfect spot to slap in a pass from centre Justin Davis and Jamie Walker to open scoring. Halton took a two goal lead when Davis again passed from behind the net to Tom Baynton who pumped it home. A late ee play goal by Ching ended the period.

At 11:46 Baynton broke up the right side, slipped it ahead to Jon Atley whose precision pass to Dan._Haw was backhanded in for a 4-1 lead. Ching came back on two power play markers to pull within a goal. Curtis “Wheels” Carr, with help from Steven Roy and Stuart Colvin, feathered a screen shot by the goalie seconds before the period ended to give the Hurricanes a two goal cushion. In the third, Davis scored his second when he swooped in from the right side and tucked in an unassisted effort. With 4:10 left, Janjevich pound- ed home a rebound from Mashinter and Roy, to cement the 7-3 score. Geoff “The Bandit” Beauparlant stopped 30 shots and was solid, par- ticularly in the first as he held up a series of Ching players who thought they had scored. Colvin, Atley and “Big Train” Trotter had strong games on defence. Sunday night’s penalty-filled game at Thompson featured two rare occurrences. It also took over two hours before Halton players and their parents ventured into the blizzard, comforted by a brutal bat- tle for a 6-3 win and a commanding lead in the series. The JDP Commuter Hurricanes had to fight from behind as they incurred four consecutive penalties to open the game and got the Hurricanes hot. In just over two minutes, they scored three shorthanded goals. Roy sparked the momentum shift at 2:10 by accepting a breakaway pass from Davis and deposited it neatly behind the Ching goalie who barley had caught his breath before Davis tied it up on another breakaway with assists from Roy and Trotter. Mashinter fired home the third at shaken Ching team who were down 3-2. Janjevich started the second peri- | by a Ching defenceman. He rec ered to attempt a penalty shot but | was unsuccessful.

Hurricanes triumph Hurricane Peewees Guelph 3-1 Ridley Windows and Doors’ Peewee Hurricanes have advanced to the second round of central league playoffs. The Halton boys buckled down and captured the first round play by defeating Guelph last Sunday evening. The Peewees had allowed the Guelph team to take the series to a final fifth game, and taking control on home ice in Hillsburgh, was a must for the local boys. The Hurricanes were well aware of the style of play that the Guelph team had displayed throughout the entire season. Halton was up topple against a rough and often penalty- riddled squad and the Halton team knew that if they played smart hockey, stayed out of the box them- selves, and capitalized on Guelph’s short handed situations, the game would be theirs. Guelph played right into the hands of the local Hurricanes as, true to form, they spent many min- utes without a full complement on the ice. Often it appeared that they were going out of their way to gain an opportunity to warm the pine in the penalty box. Halton kept their cool, stayed on top of their Guelph opponents throughout the game and took a 3-1 victory. a : “ Ba oes Seventeen-year-old Colin Kay, left, and fourteen-year-old Jason Meyers showed off their winning wrestling stance last week at the lent pass from Baynton and Colvin, high school.
