Page THE HERALD Wednesday April 18 1979 Sports Beat By Tony Panacci Sports Editor Win or lose this will be Gerry last year as a coach in hockey Last night and his Georgetown Raiders headed for Timmins to compete in the Eastern Canadian Intermediate A championships the Haiders emerge as the champions In that tournament they will host the Canadian champ ions In the battle for the Hardy Cup will be my last year as a h win or lose told The Herald Id tike to go winning the Hardy Cup MUCH THAVEI IED Ingles has been a much travelled coach in the last several years After leaving Raiders five years ago he spent a couple of seasons with the Dixie Beehives and two more with the Milton Flyers both clubs Tins year he returned to the ho had led to three Intermediate titles and his goal from the outset was very clear m here to win the Hardy Cup he told his The of being best Intermediate A team in the country have never been than the are right now In past years after winning the title by Ihe powerful eastern clubs If llns years learn gels anywhere along the line it ould he a major story It is going to take a very good hotkey tcim to beat us said who has some very good talent in he lineup When asked if he will go with just his lop players leaving his lesser knowns on the bench in Timmins Inglis replied I going there to win I tow that mean jou be using Iwo lines he was I be going win came the quick reply TOP HINDS is no doubt Haiders lop hands Hay Sturgeon Gordon Kudrasovs Tom Daley Steve lilundy and Hay Evans if he is healthy will the ice lime Tonelli and Sturgeon in particular maj need a couple of weeks of pure rest after returning from will no be going to without major problems Evans injury has been of major Loniirn since will not be back the Thorold John Boyce who says is his best defensive has been doing a Bob impersonation and taken a shift he has a broken bone in the ankle There is no letting how long Johns ankle will stand up Inglis said However the will also have many pluses in It is now very apparent that Ihe Haider former pros In hockey against lough competition Sturgeon Kudraosvs Peter and Gordon all seem love the pressure situations jays his dub docs they wouldnt stand a The plus however is big Tom Daley It is hard to believe watching Daley dominate games now that earlier Ihis season he was on the cutting block Daley was the Haider on the ice in many games against The Thorold Athletics and also against the The Haiders will also have a very talented supporting cast DougHeslip Archie Chase a third line Chase will probably take Evans place should veteran nol be able to Also on the bench will be proven goal scorers Pal and Terr Porter And Chris Milne can hold his own if tailed upon UK I- EAR Inglis does have one big fear which in ihccnd may do his tub in Hie Haiders could certainly use one more good to give a very good chance Patrolling the now are Boyce Ron Twiss Hon Brad Pine Bill Currie and if called upon However says he would use boll Sturgeon and Twiss up front If ankle gives out we could really Ihe coach said We could use one more big lough However withorwilhout lough the Haiders have enough talent give any Intermediate team a lot of trouble The players all know that this is last year II may be the added incentive need go all way his team was eliminated by the Georgetown Haiders Elgin Blair was asked what he thought of the southern division champions are a well bought hockey club Blair a native said They got players from all over playing for them and they did not come cheap he said Blair said if the Haiders went strictly homebrews a If they wen with strictly Georgetown area players they wouldnt come clone us Blair said ALL LOCALS The Sunoco coach claims thai all the players in on the Port Elgin rosier either live In Porl Elgin or he Southampton areas Would his club consider imported talent No came Blairs quick answer We wouldnt do it We offer to get players a job but thats far as we go and the fans like to see local players year the Raiders with a predominantly homebrew lineup and they were defeated by the Merchants a learn which hod trouble making the then homebrew limit of five When he was asked what he thought of having homebrews to imports in the lineup Inglis said I Jus want to win and to do that you need Ihe best players A look down the Haider lineup shows only John Chris Milne Ron and Bill Humphreys have area addresses said that Blairs comments about A well bought hockey club are just sour grapes on Sunoco coaches pari I donl believe for a second that he is paying all his the same money said doubt that Ted Scarf la former World Hockey Association player is making same as those local kids IAIKh Hie debate of whether to go with local players or imports is eerlainly a large one However there is no douhl that the Georgetown fans have been treated lo excellent hockey this year and the likes of Peter Sturgeon Tonelhand Hon been adopted as their own Another arguments in debate is hat is much mure difficult for Port Elgin to sign players who do live in area They are a much more Isolated entity than Georgetown If players choose to play for Ihe would almost have go up there to live and then they would be under years import rule be classified as homebrews The Raiders announced that hey will be taking goal tender Hon Patterson of the Shipbuilders with Ihem The are allowed rules lo lake one spare and ioit player must be an Intermediate A Patterson had best goals against average in Ihe league this year He is expected to backup Strong second period spells the difference Pane rests am purports alio goal of the frame mark of thepmo mark flic Haul rdkeover started is gut Ins sdonri of Ihe game on ihe power plav and Kudrasovs were plivmikirs Jusl over a minute Gordon flew up the right wing and a sizhiig drive go from ihe lop of circle which easily heat Blair and Hon who also turned in another solid performance assisted Pal made his urn lo the Haider lineup in this game and Ihe goal touch which had been his mam asset before a slump late in he season was also got he fifth Haid er goal as he was on the end of an excellent passing play with Doug and Scott Sturgeon showed his vast the Haider sixth moved I couple of defenscmen and then made a beauliful deck to around Blair Brad Pine and Bill Currie drew Ihe assists III the iirai up with his biggest save of I Ik night Doug Woods on Haider he was pay dirl as him The last Haider goal of the tame wild just remaining in he nth sin thai the differ iwu learns is the Haiders pros and If lakt aw lh firs held of sin

To the they did not in towel and he down for the Haiders in third pi nod They came out and bat I led until the siren sounded to end the one game from title gan Our guys have a lot of heart Blair said They would never give like Thorold did In the last game of Ihe soul hem final the Athletics lost to Ihe Haiders 14 with the majority of he goals coming in the third period The third period also saw
