After a strong performance against Milton last Saturday (a 4-3 overtime loss) — prob- ably their best all-around effort of the year - the Raiders will hopefully end their seven game losing skid against the Streetsville Derbys in the game tonight, 7:30 p.m. at-Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena. The Raiders, 2-8 in the early going, face a 4-5-1 Derbys team that is very stingy on defense. That’s not good news for the Georgetown squad strug- gling to put the puck in the net. In their 10 games, the Derbys have allowed only 41 goals and goal tender Paul Knaggs is in the top five in the league with a 3.60 goals- against-average. There is some good news for the Raiders, however. Ian Ellis is on a hot streak with four goals and four assists in his last four games.
