What can appear a living hell to some is paradise to others. Armchair athletes raise your fists in cheer and with remote in hand, “click” to your heart’s content. With the signing of Patrick Roy (pronounced Wah!), Cliff Fletcher was’ forced to give in-to the Rodent’s Racket demands of Felix Potvin’s agent, Gilles Lupien and allow Potvin to join the NHL’s millionaire club. Bonuses included, should he perform, Potvin will be a very happy boy. Leaf fans everywhere wish him the best of luck and if the sophomore jin holds here, he'll ne it.

However, a tip of the hat from CBC for making that decision as many clicked their way to the miracle at Skydome as the “Argooooos” won their second game of the season. With new head coach O’Billovich at the controls, a season high 28,000 in attendance were treated to a victory over, the Blue Bombers. I guess one could say “Obie’s in form”. I had the opportunity to play in the Kathy Toth annual golf KART tourna- ment two weekends ago with a good time had by all. Winner for the tournament was Kathy’s brother, Gord * Toth, with a 69, keeping the event a family affair. Kind of makes you go ! mmm! Congratulations, Gord, on a great round and a ti of the hat to Kathy for all her efforts. I look forward to competing in next year’s classic.

By Mike Zrostek With a 7-3 loss Saturday to the Bramalea Blues at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena in their final pre-sea- son tuneup, the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders still have a big question mark to answer. There is no doubt the Raiders will have no prob- lem filling the net with snipers the likes of Trevor Brandt, Ryan Brown, Ian Ellis, Doug Sheppard and Will North, but keeping it out for 60 minutes a night may be a problem - as dis- played Saturday. The Raiders and Blues played a scoreless first peri- od as both teams came out hitting and roughing it up after the whistle.This play continued all night long resulting in a number of scrums. Paul Stinnett made some outstanding saves in the first frame on the chances the Blues got, thanks to some early penalties taken by the aiders. Bramalea started the scor- ing 49 seconds into the sec- ond on a errant Raider pass in their own end resulting in an early Blues lead. The Blues made it 2-0 two minutes later before Ryan Brown, shorthanded, replied for the Raiders, stealing the puck in the neutral zone and unloading a shot from the face-off circle to narrow the Blues lead to 2-1. Will North was in the box. Bramalea blew the game open in the third with three goals in the first 8:37 of the period before the Raiders got their second short-handed goal of the night. Doug Sheppard whistled a shot past the Blues netmin- der after getting a pass from Dean Roberts off the face-off making it 5-2. The Raiders were short handed due to Mike Bajurny amassing llminutes in penalties on one play, receiv- ing two minutes for high sticking, five for fighting, two for instigating and two for being the aggressor. Apparently you get two min- utes more for pummeling a guy, as Bajurny obviously won the spectacular fight. With the score 7-2 after two more Bramalea goals, lan Ellis scored with just under two minutes remaining on a nice passing play from Dean Roberts and Ryan Brown aay who played strong With it Toss, the Raiders finished the exhibition schedule even at 4-4 and begin the regular season short on defense after cutting blue liners Ryan Pirie and Gavin Glaser earlier in the week, The Raiders are hoping to pick-up some players up from Ontario Hockey League cuts and may have three by the time Saturday’s game against the Brampton Capitals rolls around. The season opener against Brampton, the team the Raiders defeated 10-3 in the final of the NHL Mini- Tournament in Etobicoke towards the end of August, should prove interesting for all concern Game time Saturday at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena is 7:30 p.m. Rebel seniors start off with a bang By Mike Zrostek You couldn’t ask for a bet- ter way to start the season than by winning your own tournament and that’s what the Georgetown District High School Rebéls senior boys volleyball team did this past weekend. The Rebels junior boys volleyball team also saw action, but results weren’t repories ed. The senior Rebels defeated North Park (ranked second in North Peel) in the finals in three very close games by scores of 13-15, 15-11 and 15-9. Coach Bob McKay credit- ed the tournament win to out- standing play by every player on the team. “We have a very talented team that has great defensive quickness and if you can take care of business in your own end, the offensive part will come,” said McKay. Georgetown motored right through the round-robin matches defeating E.C. Drury 15-7 and 15-5 in their first match. In their second match they split against North Park 15- 12 and 9-15, then rattled off six ealaht wins against White Oaks, Notre Dame anc Burlington Central which included a 17-15 tie breaker against Notre Dame. With only two guys (Dave Sands and Matt Deruchie) back from last year the Rebels are a young team with five first year seniors. “It’s no secret we’re not a big team so we rely on our quickness.” said McKay. “We can’t depend on block- ing so we practiced our defense all week and spent maybe half an hour on offense.” Deruchie and Andrew Elliot were tournament all- stars while Matt Brain, Gavin Glaser, Ron Harrison, Craig Jonhson, Jim Katsilieris, Sean Peasgood,.Sands and Martin jommer all played and con- tributed in the win. The senior Rebels now travel to the University of Guelph this weekend to com- pete in a 48 -team tournament that McKay says will deter- mine where they stand in: the “It’s a well-run tournament that has every top team: from all over Ontario in it. We’re a talented team that is young (mostly aged 17) and we will see how we fare playing again 19 and 20-year-olds,” said M McKay thanked Andrea McNeily who co-ordinated the tournament, trainer Mike Simpson and Jim Hall who all gave their free time to help the tournament run smoothly. The Rebels first league game is at E.C. Drury Sept. 30.
