Some 60 kilometres to the west, goalie Jason Sirota of the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders was also kicking out pucks left, right and centre, but the end result was a 35th straight game without a victory. Sirota turned aside 55 shots at the Alcott Arena, but it was the Oakville Blades who emerged with a 5-1 victory. On Friday night, Jody Spagnol’s overtime goal gave the visiting Caledon Canadiens a 5-4 win over the Raiders. The two losses drop Georgetown’s record to 4-33-1, last overall in the eight-team Central Ontario Junior Hockey League’s West Division. One of those wins was the reversal of an earlier loss to Caledon after Spagnol played in a game against Georgetown without first having been officially released by Mississauga. The Raiders haven’t chalked one up in the win column since starting the regular season with~three straight victories. On Friday night, it was the Ian Ellis and Trevor Brandt show. Ellis lead the way with a three-goal per- formance, and Brandt chipped in with a goal and three assists. But Spagnol’s winning goal put a damper on the night. Ellis had Georgetown’s lone goal of the first as the Raiders trailed 2- Se Sirota shines in 7 Raiders’ defeat 1. But Brandt and Ellis scored sec- ond-period goals to give the home team a one-goal lead heading into the third before the two sides fin- ished regulation tied 4-4.

For their part, Georgetown had 25 shots on Oakville’s Martin Ethier but 14 of those came in the second. The Raiders have a busy week, with three games. Tonight the club is in Toronto to take on the Royal York Rangers before playing a home-and-home set — with Burlington, starting with a road game in Burlington before the two teams return to the Alcott Arena. But the weekend will also feature an extra game for Brandt. The Raiders’ leading scorer (27 goals and 59 points excluding last week- end’s game, putting him tied with Milton’s Mike Murray for 10th overall) will be Georgetown’s lone -representative in the annual Central League all-star game. Brandt will play on the West Division squad in Burlington on Saturday afternoon. NOTES _ According to league stats, Raider Ian Ellis is among the West Division’s top 30 leading scorers.

The Burlington game, January 20th in Tonelli, was a superb dis- play of end-to-end clean hockey. Halton found themselves down 2-0 early on some poor clearing efforts until Vervoorn put in a powerplay marker with 1:00 left. Trotter flipped in a rebound on another powerplay effort from Roy and Janjevich. But Ching put on more pressure and tied it up soon after. haw stole the puck seconds later to put Halton ahead assisted by Janjevich and Vervoorn. Baynton, on a rebound from Haringa, did the same with less than a minute left to put Halton into the driver’s seat. Burlington pulled their goalie and a frenzied attack resulted in a ‘oal at the buzzer. Geoff Beauparlant was great in goal as he turned away shot after shot to help hold Halton’s first place position which consisted of 1 wins, five ties and only four losses.
