The 41-9-2-1 Golden Hawks capitalized on two Georgetown gaffes in the opening period to take a 2-0 lead into the intermission, then added a backbreaker on a power-play tally with just eight seconds left in the middle stanza. On the night that Raider captain Steve Hladin was presented with his player-of-the- month award for January, the Golden Hawks limited the OJHL-leading scorer to an assist on Anthony Marra's second-period marker and few quality chances. The 36-8-3-5 Raiders have just two games left in the regular season and have sewn up top spot in the league's South/West Conference, but have lost three of their past four starts. They'll travel to Toronto Friday night to face the St. Michael's Buzzers and then host the Milton IceHawks Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Georgetown will begin the opening round of playoffs at home next Wednesday against ei- ther the Buffalo Jr. Sabres or St. Mike's. Blue Fin medal haul at Regionals The Halton Hills Blue Fins collected plenty of hardware and set three new club records at the Swim Ontario Regional Champion- ship meet earlier this month at the Etobi- coke Olympium.
