OMHA action heats up for Raiders Bantams sweep Newmarket; AE squad one win away The Georgetown Raiders are on the verge of having two bantam rep teams claim Ontario Minor Hockey Association titles in the same season as the provincial playdowns wind down.

It was the first provincial championship for many of the bantam AA Raiders, said coach Bill Sudeyko, and to boast two OMHA champions in one age group in the same year is a rare achievement for any minor hockey organization. "It's a really nice talent pool we have at this level," said Sudeyko, who like bantam AE coach Dave McMahon won't be returning next season to guide the team at the minor midget level. "Whoever comes in is going to inherit a great group of kids. Both teams were very supportive of each other-- their team came out to cheer us on during our games and we came out to support them. I think that for our last game in Newmarket we must have had about 200 Georgetown fans backing us." McMahon's squad punished visiting Caledon physically in game three Monday night and received picture goals from Brandon Medeiros and Mark Giordano in the first period.

Mills, a 14-year-old Acton High School student, and Doleman have been only skating together for less than a year but have shown a great deal of potential.
