The 45-year-old bodybuilder and master trainer at Olympia Muscle & Fitness in Missis- sauga plans to open a new studio at his home in the coming months while also undertaking a daunting training regimen that will hopeful- ly land him on the podium for the provincial championships. After only taking up the sport four years ago, Maciejko said he felt rejuvenated last year af- ter a forgettable 2012, having switched train- ers and taking an entirely different approach to bodybuilding. He won the Masters' category (40 yrs. & older) and was second in the open light heavy- weight division at a show in Port Credit and later just missed out on a berth in the nationals after finishing seventh at the Ontario Masters' Championships. Now under the tutelage of Olympia's Bob Weatherill, a longtime pro IFBB performer, Maciejko feels he's ready to take the next step as a competitor. "It's a completely different ballgame for me now when it comes to competing," said the na- tive of Poland. "These guys are professional bodybuilders and trainers with serious experience and it's the way to go if you want to compete and do well -- diets, training, everything. If I want to compete against the best bodybuilders in On- tario I had to get the best trainer. (Preparing for the contest) is the most important thing and Bob has been doing this for 30 years." Maciejko will soon begin his 20-week con- test prep for the Toronto Supershow in June, which doubles for the Ontario championships. When ready for the competition, he should weigh in at about 180 pounds, so he's pleased that the Ontario Physique Association has split the Masters' age group into two weight classes in order to give the lighter competitors a better chance at success. "It's a marathon, not a sprint," adds Ma- ciejko, whose 14-year-old son Matthew has taken up boxing at Olympia. "No matter what you do and how you do it, you need time. Your body doesn't grow in one year. You need 10 to 15 years of heavy train- ing and doing the right things and 85 per cent of your success is diet. What I'm doing right now is improving my physique, that's it. Every year when I look at the pictures of myself from before, I know what part of my body I need to work on more. It's how you look in the mirror."

Mueller, a 20-year-old forward from Hamilton picked up from the Burlington Cougars just pri- or to last week's trade deadline, now has four points in three games since joining the Raiders. Brendan Jacome also scored for Georgetown and rookie net- minder Michael Singh made 23 saves for the win in goal. On Saturday night, the North York Rangers held a 1-0 lead over the 20-16-2 Raiders until the mid-point of the third pe- riod when the guests scored two quick goals and skated away with a 4-0 triumph. In the Raiders' only other personnel moves before the Jan. 10 roster cutdown date, they ac- quired 18-year-old defenceman Jordan Brown from the Burl- ington Cougars and released for- ward Nicolas Lavoie.
