an affiliation agreement today giving the Sabres two affiliations in less than three weeks Earlier this month Sabre owner Mitch and the Milton Merchants affiliated their organizations a move which was allowed by the Ontario Hockey Association due to the re emergence of Fergus in the Mid Ontario Junior loop They were drawing players from Wellington County which is an area we had been getting people from in the past Now that we need to get a new source so we were able to sign with Milton said La The Milton team is affiliated with the Kitchener Rangers Jr A team which has already resulted in benefits for Acton said the Sabre owner We got Michael Rusk a left winger and Jason Sawyer a from Milton since they were sent down when Kit made some cuts from their team and Milton had to make room Rusk will help with our scor and Sawyer will be a real asset to our defence on the right wing along with John Van Dam was confident the deal will pay dividends throughout the season since they will be able to fill some positions with the more experienced Jr B level players It will make a difference this season We seemed to be a line short last year especially against the stronger teams like and Bradford Our defence will be stronger and now we should be able to score more goals too The affiliation between the Raiders and Sabres marks the straight year the two organizations have collaborated an arrangement Raider General Manager Joe Walsh said ran smoothly for both sides It allows us to carry some extra cards After January were only allowed 21 cards but the affiliation enables us to go beyond that number Its sort of like an in surance policy if we run into a number of injuries just before the playoffs Lajeunese said the affiliation system also benefits the players since they will remain with an organization such as the Kit chener Rangers even if they are moved to the Jr C level for a period of time Sabres suffer exhibition game setbacks By ROBERT RISK Herald Sports Editor The

separated shoulder in Schomberg Sabre owner Mitch said Sawyer is one of his team s defensive cornerstones and hoped for a speedy recovery since his player had to be taken to hospital for observation It doesnt seem to be as bad as we first thought His shoulder went back into place on its own but well have to see how things go Lajeunesse said his team has no problems playing a physical game but criticized the officials for let ting the game get out of hand That was definitely the worst officiating Ive seen including all the games we played last year The guy who hit Jason from behind wasn even given a penalty and he was put into the boards from five feet out Both Lajeunesse and coach Ken Steen said they are more in in looking for some big players this week to help keep the other teams

marker on a powerplay in the first period the only Acton goal until the final six minutes of the second penod Four quick goals by the Flam team in the second period didnt help Actons chances for winning this match especially two efforts that they gave up just 22 seconds apart Acton turned things around in Fridays game against Stayner playing a tighter checking game which resulted in a 3 2 victory The Sabres got two quick markers to open the third period taking a lead on goals by Jason Lucas and Mike Brooks Jamie Quran assisted on both of the which came just over a minute fought back
