Halton Hills Firefighters' goalkeeper Al Scott turns aside a scoring attempt by Toronto Maple Leafs' Alumni team member Stew Gavin during the Benefit Celebrity Hockey Game Sunday at the Alcott Arena. The sixth- annual event was sold out again this year and while the amount raised hasn't yet been finalized, Cancer As- sistance Services-Halton Hills will receive proceeds from the event. The Leafs Alumni wasn't in as charitable a mood on the ice, however, posting another win over the local firefighters.

Rookie defenceman Liam Clare picked up three assists. The Raiders will take on the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots Fri- day night at the MasterCard Centre, followed by a home date Saturday with the North York Rangers beginning at 7:30 p.m. Head coach & GM Greg Wal- ters said Wednesday no moves had yet been made leading into Thursday's trade deadline. Georgetown native Scott Farley has been named the new Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Hockey Association. The former Ontario Hockey Association player, Ontario Hockey Federation general manager and most recently Hockey Canada vice-president in charge of marketing services and events, takes over the role Feb. 25. The position has been vacant since the retirement of longtime president Brent Ladds follow- ing the OHA annual meeting in June. "First and fore- most, I'd like to establish relation- ships with the OHA member groups and meet with as many people as possible-- team contacts and representa- tives-- because in my role, it's important to know what their thoughts and feelings are on the various issues," he said in a phone interview on Wednesday from Calgary. "One of the great things about my role with Hockey Canada was to be a part of events and national championship tourna- ments that were run in different parts of the country, building relationships with corporate sponsors, partners and host communities." Farley lived in Georgetown until taking on his first hockey job with the Hockey Develop- ment Centre for Ontario in 1992, and in 1994, he became the first full-time employee of the OHF. In 2001, he joined Hockey Canada as the director of mar- keting services and events, was soon after promoted to senior director, and finished his tenure at Hockey Canada as vice presi- dent, helping organize major events such as national champi- onship tournaments and a num- ber of Canadian-based World Junior Hockey Championships. The 45-year-old Farley said he's excited about taking on the leadership role at the OHA, par- ticularly at this key juncture in the organization's history with the implementation of the To- morrow's Game initiative. "There are many great initia- tives that are in progress and on the horizon for the Association," said Farley, who plans to relo- cate near the OHA head office in Cambridge with wife Laurie and two-year-old-son Matthew. "It is a great op- portunity for me to continue to be a leader within the hockey family and work with the members of the OHA to grow the organization and to build upon the rich history that the OHA has within the sport in Ontar- io and across the country." Farley played his minor and Jr. B hockey in Georgetown before going to Laurentian University in Sud- bury, where he majored in sports administration. "We feel Scott Farley repre- sents the total package. His ex- perience at both Hockey Canada and the Ontario Hockey Fed- eration gives him an immediate understanding of the challenges he will be facing as the CEO of Canada's oldest hockey associa- tion," said OHA chairman Leo Lostracco. "As our Tomorrow's Game initiative moves forward Scott possess all the leadership skills necessary to see it to com- pletion. Having dealt with vari- ous groups on the national and international level Scott will be well prepared in handling the day-to-day business that is the OHA and to chart a course that will take us into the future." Founded in 1890 to govern amateur hockey in Ontario, the Ontario Hockey Association is the governing body for the ma- jority of junior and senior teams in the Province of Ontario. The OHA currently has 118 teams and over 2,700 players in its ju- risdiction. SCOTT FARLEY Georgetown's Farley new OHA head honcho By EAMONN MAHER Staff Writer
