Lots of love, Mom, Dad, Sarah and Kim Georgetown's Thomas Hunt won the boys' 15-19 division in a playoff Monday after shoot- ing a three-over-par 75 at the Canadian Junior Golf Associa- tion Ontario Series event at the Braeben course in Mississauga. Pasma hockey program runs Aug. 19-23 In his role as the National Hockey League's senior direc- tor of hockey operations, Rod Pasma spends a lot of time on the road, and during this year's playoffs, the local native was thinking of ways to give some- thing back to the community he now calls home again. Having run hockey schools in Maryland after his days as a player were over in the mid- 1990s, the 41-year-old Pasma has decided to offer a co-ed program later this summer at the Mold-Masters SportsPlex for Halton Hills youths. It's the fi rst summer hockey camp in Georgetown since an- other upper-round local NHL draft pick, Adam Bennett, ran one several years ago. Pasma's development pro- gram is set for Aug. 19-23 and will be split into two age groups, 6-10 and 11-14. "It's not just a hockey camp. We're geared toward teaching the fundamentals and skills and developing the little things that make a player better," he said. "Skating is paramount to- day, so the focus will be on breaking down the skating and skills and start with the basics. But we want to have fun with this and we'll be doing some things off the ice too." A second-round draft pick of the Washington Capitals in 1990, Pasma couldn't come to an agreement on a contract and never played an NHL game, instead attending Lau- rentian University in Sudbury to earn an economics degree. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound defenceman, who has three young daughters, went on to take operations positions with the East Coast Hockey League and American Hockey League before his current role with the NHL allowed he and wife Janelle to move back home. So far, Pasma has enlisted the talents of Georgetown Jr. A Raiders Liam Clare and Rob- bie Murden to serve as camp instructors and welcomes high-school-age students to contact him about volunteer- ing for the week. "It's interesting to me to go to minor hockey practices and see the coaches running all these fancy drills and the kids can't even give or receive a pass," noted Pasma, who was an assistant coach with the Jr. A Raiders during last season's NHL labour dispute. "There are lots of things that these kids should be do- ing before they get into neu- tral-zone traps or what a 1-3-1 is. Ideally we get started here and offer a camp for the kids and then see if we can't meld it into more specifi c camps, like skills or body checking, goal- ies or gender-specifi c."

By EAMONN MAHER Staff Writer For the second year in a row, the Halton Hills Bulldogs have bowed out of the Ontario Jr. B Lacrosse League post-season in round two after being swept, this time by the Akwesasne Indians. Seeded third in the OJBLL's East Conference, the Indians won both the fi rst two games of the best-of-5 series at home July 13-14 over the second-place Bulldogs and a third-period scor- ing surge overcame a two-goal Halton Hills' lead last Friday in Georgetown, resulting in a 14-10 Akwesasne victory. The Bulldogs led for much of the fi rst two periods and took a 9-7 advantage early in the fi nal frame, before the visitors tallied four times in a 2:32 span to take control of the contest, played in front of about 300 spectators. Seth Laidlaw (2), Luke Laid- law (2), Dakota Rocco (2), Mike MacDonald, Jayson Crawford, Sean Connors and Connor Brown were the Halton Hills' goal scorers. Brown, the team's leading goal scorer, had to leave the game due to injury. The season isn't over for some of the Bulldogs, however. Mac- Donald, who was drafted third overall three years ago in the OLA Jr. A Draft by Whitby, has joined the second-seeded War- riors for their playoff charge and had three goals and two assists Tuesday night in a 16-5 trounc- ing of the Brampton Excelsiors to take a 2-0 lead in their best- of-7 second-round matchup. The Jr. C Bulldogs fi nished fi rst in their league's regular season with a 14-1-1 record and swept Huntsville in the open- ing round 3-0, capped off by a 6-1 home win Tuesday. Kurtis Oldham, Marty Burwell, Kyle Moore, Ben Nicolucci, Adam Charalambides and Mike Nico- lucci scored and Drew Coleman earned the win in goal. The Bulldogs are likely to face the Wilmot Wild in the West Conference semifi nals with dates undetermined at our press time. Victory for Hunt ROD PASMA Bulldogs swept in 2nd round by Akwesasne Tyler LeBlanc of the Halton Hills Bulldogs leaves the fl oor in disap- pointment last Friday after being eliminated from the playoffs.
