THEHERALn Wednesday Juuryll itlt The Importance of Sunday exhibition owner between the Georgetown Intermediate A Raiders and the Barrio Senior A Flyers may not have been but rather toe behind the scenes talks that have been are and will continue to take place between the executives of the two clubs Out of It ail clubs are hoping will come some sort of friendly working arrangement which could see the Raiders acting as a high level farm club for the Flyers outline of the deal that may take affect next year was explained to the Herald by Raiders coach Junior Tibbetts Raiders to be Flyers farm club felt that a working arrangement between a Senior and an Intermediate team would be to the benefit of both The Raiders would benefit by having a shot at signing some of the 1W to players who annually try out for the Flyers the first place squad In the Ontario Hockey Association Senior loop For every player that they sign they have to turn down six or seven who are Just good commented Tib- belts We could possibly sign them on our seven import cords a benefit would be to have a farm club of sorts from which they could draw players when needed They need that kind of support Tibbetts sold They found that out bit year when they lost so many Just before heading down east Talks between the two teams arc continuing Although Borrle first mentioned the Idea the Raiders are now taking the initiative In a good relationship between the two groups Sunday a exhibition match was the first visible sign and here a likelihood that there may be a second later in the season Following the game in fact both teams got together for a short session In Raider s dressing room game itself was a bit of a letdown for some Raiders fans although the action was anything but slow Fast skating and extremely good passing marked the game but fans who were out to see some of the slam bang techniques OHA Senior hockey has a record of had to leave appointed As Tibbetts mildly put It The Flyers wcrcn plnylng playoff hockey was missing of their top players including their three top scorers Player coach Fern St could only ice one of his three lines and even one of his key defencemen was out Nevertheless the Flyers put on quite display of puck handling and wide open which the Raiders to their full credit matched stride for stride In fact it was one of the Raiders better displays of their Anting abilities The game will prove however costly to the Raiders they lost the services of defence ma Simpson for the rest of the season In one of the few hard checks made during the game Simp son suffered a dislocated shoulder Although the immediate diagnosis was it was definite Simpson will likely be out for the rest of the season scored one goal In the first and two in the second All three were products of sharp passes around the Raiders goalmouth George town goal le Keith had his hands full but kept the in check on some hard shots The Raiders lone goal came at the mark of the second when John and Kay Peacock set up Doug Tata who began this season in the Senior loop with the Whitby Seniors Just bow easy the teams were taking It when It came to handing out any rough stuff best in me penalty column Although tightly called by referee Doug there were only three penalties called with the Raiders getting tagged with one and the Flyers two Cotton at centre has turned the on The biggest problem Junior coach of the Georgetown Intermediate A Raiders is having these days Is coming up with a logical explanation for the sudden turn of events that have quickly seen the Raiders turn from a troubled team to With two more victories this past week the Raiders have stretched their unbeaten streak to four games and in doing so have finally put an end to that pesky quirk that has kept the Raiders off the win sheet any time they have met the unimpressive Dundas Merchants thus far this season Last Friday night the Raiders nipped the Dundos crew in an exciting over- time battle In Dundas Two nights before the Raiders had little trouble In putting down the Athletics in According to one of the prime reasons for the Raider late season surge was the recent decision to centre Nell Cotton on a line with Pat Maloney on left wing and Art Webster on right That combination has quickly become the Raiders most lethal line with Cotton displaying moves that would make you think he was born to the position In their battle with Dundas that line counted for three of the Raiders four goals with Cotton counting two on ploys set up by Moloney ana the other coming from a stick on a pass from Cotton Cotton the puck extremely well plus he can get in front of the net and hold his own there Thais something we had been missing before we moved him to centre noted The winning overtime goal saw Maloney flip a hard shot of John into the net beating Mer chants goalie Gerry who again came up with hot game against the Raiders Is another player has plenty of words of praise for He without a doubt our most Improved player this year said He s improved by percent and that means a lot He consistently wins along the boards and if you can win there you can win the game That sounds an awful like a quote from the training book of Ihc Philadelphia Flyers We re trying to a lot of the Philadelphia tactics Into our game now Not the rough stuff but things like taking the man out instead of swinging at the puck We re trying to force the other guy to do something with the puck techniques arc catching on Bill Currie has shown a great improvement Ihcse past Tew games to the point where he is definitely in the runnlnB for the leagues Best Defence man honors Tom Is also coming along The only thing keeping Tibbetts from running to his trophy shelf and clearing some space for the Intermediate A trophy is the wort of should be his first line con a Is ting of Doug Tote Tom Gilbert Paul Burger That line ho statu has still to get really into the mood of things The potential though he adds la definitely there and click once they watch out Mind you they weren t doing too badly against Tale hit for two of Ihe Raiders five goals while singles were added Tom and Art Webster Mike Mohoney assisted twice did Pat Maloney Keith has been coming up with some of his strongest efforts in the net for the Raiders looking most impressive Sunday night in their exhibition tilt against the Senior A Flyers That game sidelined Craig Simpson with a dislocated shoulder and that going to open quite a hole in the Georgetown deience The season is reaching a very crucial stage for Ihe Raiders as they still have their alms set at winning the league crown If the present first ranked Fort Erie Mavericks and the close contenders and defending league champions the Port Sailors split their remaining gomes and the Raiders continue on their winning ways Georgetown could come out of on up and down season with the league crown The Raiders have a bit of an advantage as they still have two home games against the Mavericks and one against the bailors Geminis want playoffs in old Mill Street arena Winning hockey games Is Just a matter of putting together a lot of little things like a letter C on someone sweater an old mask and old arena were three of the key Ingredients in the Georgetown Geminis victory last Saturday night as they dropped the Oak viUe Blades In an excellent After suffering through the Milton game Tomkinson decided to don the old mask for the meeting with Perhaps it was the change In head gear perhaps it was Just a better night whatever It was especially in the early going of he game kept the Geminis in the action Coach Paul Robinson hod hockey and old arena la just what they need for that Another aspect that may have mode a difference but which neither nor Robinson would give much credit to was a tough meeting Robinson held with his team prior to the game Saturday After their poor performance In Milton and a couple of other that department If old adage about an intimidating team being a winning team had to be proven the Gems did it much to consternation of the Blades Scoring the Gems goals were Becker and Larry Peterson with two ond Chris Milne Kevin Reeks and Charlie Knocpfli with singles ANOTHER Onkville Blades goalie was called during Saturday night turnabout by the Gems upon many times to lock hard drives by the Georgetown Recks also assisted on three goals to earn the high point honor for the night Doug Barnes set Up two scoring plays while Bill Allison Peterson and each assisted on one goal Shots on goal show Tomkinson- stopping a total of 33 shots while Oakvllle busy Drew Trent made saves get on the scoreboard until the mork of the third The Gems three stars for the gome Becker Peterson and Tomkinson In their drubbing at the hands of a lacklustre Milton squad it was not hard to see which only the Gems lines was playing hockey and Barnes Between those three all four goals and seven assists were earned with Barnes notching two goals two Recks one goal and three and one goal and two osslstes The Gems have finally set up a date for a makeup game with the first place Burlington Mohowks That game Is slated for Wednesday January In the old arena Sunday night action Barrie Flyers versus the Raiders Hotshots outshoot Knicks Barb Curry certainly is playing for the right team In the Georgetown Ladles Basketball loop Her

Georgetown Memorial When the executive of the Geminis put their heads together after the game to come up with some Ideas of why the Gems could look so super Impressive one night and so rotten the night before- finishing at the bottom of a scoreboard at the hands of the Milton Continentals the changes they listed were all minor ones but when com bincd canadduptoqulteabit Manager Bob Tost pointed the finger at the improvement In goat tending by Rick Tomkinson That he felt could be largely due to a change in the masks has been wearing Alter having Invested in a custom made moulded mask decided to discard mask he had warn through his minor hockey career prior to Joining the Gems Through many games he has struggled with that mask although he claims that there a no problem his performances particularly on low shots to the pads have given Gems fans a few tense moments another minor change In mind For Saturday night gome Rick Becker handed over the Job of team captain to Doug Barnes Without the on his sweater Becker come up with perhaps his best game of the season against scoring twice and helping to administer constant pressure on goalie Drew Trent It Just relieved the pressure on Becker commented Robinson obviously that all he needed According Robinson Gem fans should not be surprised to find themselves watching Junior playoffs in the old Georgetown Memorial Arena instead of home for the regular season the Gordon Memorial Arena Most of our players were raised through minor hockey In that arena They re more comfortable there Robinson said In explaining why he going to be pushing for playoff time In the memorial arena Besides the surface Is smaller and we can play more of our own game there The Gems game is based on tough close to the boards bruising similar lemons lately Robinson was not to sny the least pleased I really can t understand heir attitude Robinson sold When I played for Georgetown I was proud to wear Georgetown uniform Some of these players haven l got that attitude at all He felt that he could get a consistently stronger effort from the Midgets and Juveniles the Gems making frequent use of than from some of the players who have signed with ihe Juniors We re trying to build a hockey team thai Georgetown can be proud of If they don t measure up we II start playing the Midgets and Juveniles Instead That not threat that anyone who produce this season may not get a second chance next year have been another little Jab that got Ihe moving at a speed that they haven t hit since the early going of he season The Gems were hitting
