Saturday night The Central Ontario Junior Hockey League team was victimized for six power play goals that ended up being the determining factor in a loss to Vaughn Raiders The game was played at the Alcolt Arena and left the with a record of one win against two losses so far this year The majority of penalties taken by Geminis players were high sticking calls by officials this year any stick above the waist during a check will result in such a call which was mainly the story for the got to stay out of the penally box said coach Jutes Russian The boys got to get used to those calls and be more disciplined The sting of the Vaughn power play was mostly felt in the thlrjd period With the visitors leading 3 and Georgetown controlling theplay the Raiders had a twoman advantage that they cash in on With jus one second left fn the first penalty the Raiders struck for one goal then had another in the second penalty just about a minute later Down by three goals the best the could do was come back with Humber edges hometown squad 109 Hawks down Raiders in exhibition By DAN RALPH Herald Sports Editor It didn t take Humber College Hawks long to give Georgetown Chrysler Raiders a little taste of what college hockey is all about The Hawks scored 10 seconds into exhibition game in their 109 win over the Raiders The game was played at the Arena led after the first period and heading Into the final stanza Georgetown scored three straight goals to take an lead halfway before the visitors tied it up with a power play goal late in the Gary Mcfadyen put the Raiders on top with six minutes left with a fine shorthonded tally But scored twice on the power play to take the win With only seconds left John Mclntyre had a fine backhand attempt snuffed out by goalie Bill Stewart Stewart was called upon to make another great save with seven seconds left when he came up big against to preserve the win The game was the first for both teams this year A determining factor in Humber win was their ability to cash in on the power play Scoring with the man advantage became almost routine for the visitors who finished up with seven power play goals Dave Hill and Franks both had two goats for the Raiders Kyle Vnrney Bruce man Jim and Terry Lyons had the others for the Raiders Ray Tonelli complimented a fine game with four assists Assistant coach Elliott handled Georgetown s coaching duties while general manager Gil Eyre watched from the stands Goalie Dave t dress for the game The officials called a tight game which made it very difficult for Elliott to play line combinations Still he said a lot was learned from the exhibition game We II be able to make some decisions based on what we saw tonight he said We know what our shortcomings are Elliot said a few players did catch Derrick Booth and Murray Hood both have good wheels and McFadyen really skated hard tonight The guys from last year really looked good One player Elliot was pleased with was former International Hockey League competitor Jim I think he showed a little tion because In the you get away with a little more Once he breaks out he will score a lot of goals He will be a good one The Raiders used goalies Friday as Ron Webster started and gave way to Brad Miller midway through the second The Raiders were to use three goalies but John MacLoughlln show up Overall Elliot was pleased with the competition the Raiders faced They have a couple of guys who can really skate d like to ploy a couple of exhibition games with them to get us going This was a good exhibition for us to have
