Geminis back on track THE HERALD November IMSPage Change in goal pays off THE GEORGETOWN GEMINIS BILL KIR BY bangs away at a loose puck In front of the Brampton net In last Saturday Junior game at the Gordon Memorial Arena This scoring attempt was foiled but the Genu went on to win 3 The win combined with a tie earlier in the week moved Georgetown Into fourth place in the league standings Final frame finishes Raiders streak at six The winning streak ended at six jam for the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders of the OKA Intermediate A league as the team dropped both or their games this past week 83 to Thorold on Wednesday night in Thorold and to at home on Friday night The problem that had plagued the Raiders earlier In the season cropped up again da the Red and White crew failed to come up with minutes or solid hockey In either game and this proved their downfall Of the goals scored against them In the two games II occurred in the final two frames six in the third period alone This lack or finishing power tumult be cured if the hometown favourites are to remain atop the league standings The Raiders Thorold and although down 31 at the end of the first period were still very much in the game This changed however early in the middle stanza as Thorold scored twice within second at about the four minute mark to leap ahead Pat Maloncy narrowed the gap to on a pass from John at he 12 06 mark but again counted two quick goals this time in the space of seconds late in the period to take two- period lead raiders extended their lead to at the mark of the third and this in effect was the game Tommy Gilbert converted passes from Tom and Mike at the 17 13 mark for the final Raider counter Rick with assists going to Nell Cotton and George tallied the opening Raider goal Kirk and Gerry Money had good games for Thorold as they each potted two goals while single counters went to Dave Pay Rick Ron and Bob Goody At home against on Friday night the Raiders appeared to have the gome well In hand as they led by themldway point of the second period and 3 I after two periods Then the third period Jinx once again raised Its ugly head as scored five unanswered goals to claim the two poi In the final two periods Raider nctmlnder Keith Pallet was called upon to moke 30 saves while his counterpart In the Oakville nets Brad Prophet was tested but 17 times Overall the Raiders George had twogoal effort for the local with Mike adding a single Henry Hunting for Oakville was clearly the player of the game as he notched a hat trick Single counters were added by Steve Kim Grant and Brian Bennett The Raiders have a chance to get back on the winning track this coming week as they play back toback games with league cellar dwellers Dunn Mudcnts and a single encounter with the Dundas Merchants The Raiders travel to this Thursday host the Mudcnts Friday evening the Gordon Memorial arena then journey to Dundas Tor a Sunday game Game time on Friday is The Georgetown of the Central Ontario Junior league are slowly regaining the form which saw them go undefeated In the loop first six regular season games and this revival has allowed the team to take over sole possession of fourth place In the league standings In the past four games the Gems hove picked up two wins and a tie while losing but once and strangely enough played their beat game In the lone loss This past week they tied Streeuville 1010 lost to first place Burlington 1 and dumped Brampton One of the main reasons for he recent resurgence can be directly attributed to a coaching change instituted by mentor Paul Robinson Rick Tomklnton who has come up with very solid goal tending performances for the Geralnls even during their slight slump has faltered somewhat of late and Ken has been between the pipes for the last two games Eckrolh could not be faulted In the loss to Burlington on Friday night and In Saturday s 73 win over Brampton bis play especially during the second period was a major factor in the victory Goal tenders In all leagues sometimes come up cold and coach Robinson must be breathing a bit easier knowing that both hi goalteaden can be rellod upon in the clutch Tuesday 10 tie with Streets almost ended In disaster as the Gemini played two good periods of hockey then let down to allow Streetsvllie to come back The Gems led after the drat period 84 after two frames but by the 13 mark found themselves behind 109 Doug Barnes gained the locals the single point with his third goal of the game at the 15 52 mark Georgetown Streetsvllie and possibly could have notched a win but had a rough night In the nets Doug Barnes with the hat trick Bill Allison with a pair Dale Rick Becker Chris Milne Larry Peterson and Charlie Knoepfli with singles accounted for the Gemini markers Dalo Mlesianic suffered a painful Injury In this contest and must now most definitely qualify for the Marcus award of the year The season was barely underway when Dale broke his ankle and was forced to the sidelines The enforced Idleness did not sit too well with him and he was back In record time Possibly he should have waited as In his first game he was cut for nine stitches Undeterred and obviously refusing to take a hint young fought bis way back Into the lineup This tenacity once again took toll In Tuesday game as Dale took the full force of a drive square In the face He sustained a broken nose a possible fracture of the cheekbone and some minor eye damage Georgetown Raiders still lead the league Despite losing both of last week a outings the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders of the OHA Intermediate A loop still remain atop the league standings Their 18 points gives them a comfortable six point cushion over arch rival Port Co Dome The Raiders have the second best goals for record record This week the Raiders have a golden opportunity to add to their league leading total as they play the hapless Dunnvllle Mudcats twice then take on third place Merchants in a encounter The Mudcats are wallowing in last place and as proof of their futility have managed but goals in nine games while being scored upon times TEAM Georgetown Port Col borne Dundas Fort Erie Thorold OF Leveque

possibly both goats might be out or reach The OTHS girls handed the a convincing 32 setback thereby tying them for first place and setting the stage for a tiebreaker which was to be played on a neutral court The defeat was a blow to the local girls pride However it possibly could have been best thing that could have occurred as In the tiebreaker held at Public School In last Tuesday the Rebelettes left no doubt that the league laurels belong to them as they thumped is 37 to claim the Sandy Chamberlain with 13 points led the Rebellete scoring but It Is significant that In this all

Henley added four points and Monica Pollock and Carey Worrell each scored two points By winning the East Championship the got home court advantage in the quarterfinals and made good use of It as they humbled Perdue last Thursday The had already defeated Perdue earlier in the year so coach Betty Tamas was not hesitant about going to her bench and substituted freely Georgetown over confidence almost

club for two periods and part of the third Only the almost believable work of goaler Ken in the Burlington nets kept the Geminla from running up the score Overall the Geminis Burlington 4334 but In

Wees can t be touched However the picture quite as rosy when It comes to exhibition tilts On November 16 the Canadian Tire crew lost a decision to Markham but as this was only their second loss In 21 games they can perhaps be excused In league action they have yet to be beaten In the Markham gome Georgetown led 1 after two period of play as Kevin Frank hit for two of his three goals in the game might have been a bit lax In the first minutes but they more than made up for It In the final stanza as they counted five times for the margin of vie Kevin Frank picked up his hat trick in the third period his thlred threegoal game of die year while the final Georgetown marker was counted by Scott Last Tuesday the Canadian Tire Minor Pee Wees were back In form as they whipped Brampton In regular

period and 63 after minutes Kennedy potted two goals for Georgetown while singles were added by Kevin Frank Georie Adams Jamie South Mike Marcolinl Kirk Warnock and Bob Morrow opportunities and the magic of held the local team at bay The game was scoreless until the IB 40 mark of the second period when Burlington finally broke the ice The goal was a result of a Georgetown defensive break down on a situation both Larry Peterson and Joe South went after the puck carrier who calmly flipped It over to his team mote who strolled in un molested and beat Ken with a neat backhand The final Burlington goal came with little over six minutes gone in the third and It was a Georgetown missed scoring chance that set up the marker The were applying the pressure but Charlie had bis shot deflected high over tin net after a goalmouth scramble and Burlington wheeled back for their counter Doug Barnes made It at the is mark of the third and although the chances were there for a tie once again the Burlington stood his ground and frustrated the Georgetown shooters Final score Burlington but a fine display by the Geminis Mark scared both Burlington markers Ken played ex well in the Georgetown nets and showed that now hat be seen action he will be very hard to replace Chris MUno played a very aggressive game and added lmmensley to tho Georgetown attack The Gems took a page from the Burlington book and snowed that they are indeed capable of playing a controlled game and had It not been far the amazing performance of the Burlington would almost certainly have knocked off the league Saturday night win over Brampton was not a severe lest for Ihe by any means but the game was again highlighted by a strong per formance by Ken Eckroth in the Georgetown nets He faced shots to the Brampton goaltender 31 but was especially Impressive in the second period when Brampton staged a comeback The Gems led 10 after the first period extended that lead to after two then Brampton 21
