Atoms nip Oakville The John Henderson major atoms defeated the Oakville Rangers 2-1 at Memorial Arena on Sunday night to take a 1-0 series lead in the open- ing game of the best-of-five open- ing playoff round. From the opening faceoff, the line of Dan Smith, Matt Hotham and Roddy Heinz set the tone for the game with all-out hustle and forechecking. Ryan Bobor, Josh Travers and Jason Hayes continued the determined effort by checking their man closely and never allow- ing their Oakville rivals to set up their passing game. Jason Campbell, Sean Mascat and Mike Rovere also provided constant forechecking and put Georgetown on the scoreboard in the first period.

Photo by Mary Watson Raiders drop two weekend contests The first and last came back to haunt the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders on the weekend. On Friday, the Raiders fell behind 6-2 to the Oakville Blades after the first period en route to an 11- 4 defeat. On Saturday at the Alcott Arena, Georgetown was outscored 4-0 in the last period to drop a 5-1 deci- sion to the Milton Merchants. The two defeats drop Georgetown’s record to 4-31-1 and extend the team’s winless streak to 33 games (one win was reversal of a loss to Caledon after the Canadiens were found to have been using an illegal player). On Friday in Oakville, goalie Jamie Szyc got the start, and made 13 saves, but saw six shots elude him before Jason Sirota came on in relief late in the period. Sirota, coming off a strong performance over his past four starts, was quite busy. He stopped 34 shots as the Blades outshot Georgetown 57-29. Trevor Brandt, back after serving a four-game sus- pension for a fighting incident last month, Randy Bond, Doug Sheppard and Ian Ellis scored for the Raiders. Referee Jim Harwood had a quiet night, handing out nine minor penalties in the two hour 15-minute contest. The Raiders contained Milton for more than two periods, taking a 1-0 second-period lead on Jonathan Levack’s goal. However, the Merchants came back to tie it some 30 seconds later. But the wheels fell off in the third, when the Merchants outscored the home side 4-0 to take the vic- S$ ry. Sirota got the starting nod, and again was busy, stop- ping 41 shots as Georgetown outshot the visitors 46- 34.

However, the momentum ofthe shot carried thé puck into the net. Oakville came back in the second to tie the game. Just like Campbell’s goal, the Oakville play- _er’s shot just barely managed to find its way into the Georgetown al. goal. With the game tied in the third, hard work by Heinz paid off as he fought for and freed up the puck behind the Oakville net. He then threaded a nice centering pass to Smith, whose quick shot beat the Oakville goaltender to not only give Georgetown the 2-1 lead, but also its winning margin. The Georgetown defence of Derek Mitchell, Bryan Stuttard, Brent McClung and Scott Ellis played one of its best games of the year, allowing Oakville players very few clear shots at the net.
