when the going gets rough In a hockey game It la experience that pays off In the clinches and particularly during play off games the right move at precisely the right time or real heads up hockey will determine the victor I A hockey players who Is labelled smart or a heads up type of a player Is one who has gained considerable knowledge of the game and combines It with his own abilities There la a tremndoua amount involved in really learning the game of hockey and this learning can only take place actual ex perience Actual playing experience Is even more valuable when it occurs In various leagues and various diversified locations during the career From the league In a boys hometown to Junior rep teams and for some the big leagues a players total overall record is often noticeable In his actual play The Georgetown Raider hockey team Is extremely fortunate In being able to obtain players with a tremendous wealth of ex perience If you were to add up the total number of years of experience of all the players Im sure youd have a three- digit figure Not only is the number impressive but more notable is where the experience was obtained The Raider team has players with provincial national and even In ternational experience Ill outline some of their histories Tor you to show to you that what js no Tom hockey profile Is extremely Impressive Tom played with it- Mikes College In Junior and then for the University of Michigan From there Tom played Tulsa Phoenix and Cleveland He also played for the NHL in Minnesota and before joining the Raiders he experienced Senior A hockey In Orilllfl and Brentford Paul Burger also has an impressive record From Junior hockey in Dixie Paul moved up to Junior A experience In St Catharines A real highlight In his hockey career

Norrli Cord Peterson leads Geminis scoring The Georgetown of the Central Ontario Junior hockey league have released team statistics up to and Including the teams Sunday night win In Bramp ton Two players Larry Peterson and Doug Barnes have figured prominently In the team scoring while at least six other players are credited with ten or more points With goals Peterson is rolling along at a clip and this Is remarkable considering he is one of the most highly regarded defence men in the league He la not puck happy cither as witness his IS assists and he leads the in scoring with points Doug Barnes can in no way be described as a classy hockey player yet he Is the kind that most coaches would dearly love to have on their team Barney is not con cerned about style merely getting the Job done and his IS goals and 15 assists good for points bears out his rationale the season heads Into Its second half however the scoring efforts of the will have to be spread out more evenly if the team hopes to challenge for the league lead This has been occurring over the past several games and bodes well for the teoms playoff aspirations For a time It looked like the Kills Mens Basketball Assocallon would not be operating this season The reasons for this were varied but for the most part It was the attitude of several players during the waning weeks of last years season that was creating the dilemma As the various teams moved into the playoffs lost year the play got noticeably rougher and the abuse of officials was getting out of hand At one point the pair of officials that had handled the bulk of the leagues games simply refused to take any more nonsense and handed In their notice to the league In order to round out season other officials were taken on but they were not of the same calibre as the earlier officials and the problems were merely manifested Play got even rougher and the new found officials were subject to even more haranguing The league had been set up to provide an outlet for the male adults In the community who wanted to play basketball asa form of exercise In a spirit of friendly competition Things started out in this vein but eventually deteriorted to the point where the un fortunate seasonending situation cropped up After much soul searching the men who were in strumental In forming the league decided to give It another go this year but with the clear landing that the league would adhere closely to its Ideals Certain players nave been told that they are not wanted In the league and the executive members have gone to some pains to attract top notch of flclals The shenanigans that oc curred last year will not bo tolerated and this can only make for a stronger league and similarly assure its sue cess In the future The league will once again operate with six teams with each team sorting a roster of ten players Aa noted by the various rosters players are still being sought The entry fee for prospective players has not yet been decided upon but It is expected to run to roughly uniform top and the balance of the monies collected through the fees will go to the paying of officials The league plays three games every Thursday night at the gym and It Is expected that regular season action will continue until mid- March The playoff format has the top four teams taking part first versus fourth and second versus third This
