Recreation OPO Special teams hurt Raiders By Mike Zrostek Tt wasn’t so much the even strength goals that killed the Chrysler but rather their inept power play and penalty killing that hurt them in their two losses to Burlington and Oakville. Friday in Burlington, the Raiders were blown out 10-4 despite a strong third period, and Saturday at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena, the winless streak reached seven as the Blades scored five first period power play goals en route to a 9-6 win. both games the Raiders power play wasn’t able to apply any pressure on their opportunities, while the penalty killing, which had been doing the job recently, ~ against the Cougars in the early going finding them- selves down 3-0 after one peric Goaltender Paul Stinnett was hot and cold throughout the. game robbing the Cougars on some great opportunities in front of the goal mouth, but he was guilty of let two soft goals. One early in the first peri- od on a shot from outside the blue line and the other a low shot from about 25 feet out with seven minutes left in the period. He was and pulled in the third db) lace Jeff A iv Beauparlant, who is filling in for the injured Nick Montessano. Down 5-0, Ian Ellis got the Raiders on the board with his 17th of the year at the 14:38 mark of the second as his shot went under Cougar goalie Steve Valiquette. Ryan Brown and Doug Sheppard assisted With the score 8-1 and the Raiders short handed, Ryan Brown stole the puck at cen- ter and scored on the break- away. Both teams added two more, with Sheppard and Trevor Brandt scoring two goals in 12 seconds late in the third. Burlington captain Adam Copeland had a big night for the Cougars collecting four goals and four assists. Coach Gary Ford says the Raiders have to play com- plete hockey games if they’re going to do anything this year. “We need 60 minutes from everybody and I think that’s where we miss Trevor Elinesky. He gets everybody going with his hustle. They just didn’t hustle tonight until the third period, unlike the way they did against .

However Ford and general manager Finn Poulstrup are optimistic the Raiders will turn things around. The key being getting Elinesky and defenseman Andy Pazaver ack. “Pazaver is nearly ready to come back (broken hand) but Elinesky (hip injury) is still two to three weeks away,” said Poulstrup. Meanwhile, goalie Nick Montessano is still nursing a groin injury and Poulstrup doesn’t want to rush the return of the young goalie who has been very impres- sive this year. There is good and bad news for the Raiders this week. The good news is that the winless Royal York Rangers are. at Gordon Alcott Memorial Arena Friday at 8 p.m. The bad news is, the sec- ond place Hamilton Kilty B’s are visiting Saturday, Ford and Poulstrup trav- eled to Oakville Tuesday night to take in a Blades game and talk about their own team as well as possible player movements. “We're going to discuss the team and see what’s available. Realistically we would like a right winger and another defenseman like (Barry) Parsons,” said Poulstrup. Poulstrup said. that.a cou- ple of players may be gone shortly as the team is look- ing to sign some local talent as the Dec.1st deadline for cutting the squad to 21 play- ers approaches. He. didn’t want to speculate who might be on the chopping block. “Nobody on this team is guaranteed a spot here,” said Poulstrup. : Sent Gates Georgetown bowlers are provi Georgetown Y.B.C. bowlers who “Learn to Bowl the Right Way - the Champion Way” continue to follow “The Law”. The newly-crowned Regional Champions, the team of juniors Lindsay Talevski and Paul Larocque with Master Andy Parent went to prove it at the Provincial Championship Finals in Oshawa: And prove it they did by winning the tourney and becoming the 1993 Master-Junior Provincial Champions over 43 other team finalists. The Georgetown team started slow by only scoring a plus. 20 pins-over-average. In the second game the team picked up the slack with Paul Larocque plus 49, Lindsay Talevski plus 42 and Andy Parent plus 61, for a total plus of 152 and 172 overall. Continuing to press on, the third game was the big one, a plus 191 for a total of 363 - Paul plus 96, Lindsay plus 63 and Andy a plus 32. The fourth game only produced a plus 108 for a grand total of 471, putting the Georgetown team in sec- ond place for the playoffs with Ottawa in first and Barrie in third. The step-ladder playoffs started with Georgetown playing Barrie and winning with a plus 96 to a plus 63. This led to a showdown with Oshawa who had the advan- tage of bowling on their own lanes. With a quick start, things look terrific till Andy, after three strikes, ran into three consecutive headpins but his finish with a spare and two strikes and.a comer pin end- ing game his a plus 66. Paul Larocque ended with a plus 25 and Lindsay Talevski a plus 6. Their plus total of 97 was 34 pins better than Oshawa’s plus 63. For a number of years it was a battle between Andy and his wife, Wendy as to who could win and coach more champions. The stellar performance of Andy in this tournament - games of 263, 283, 254, 266, 288 and 257 - a better than 268 average for six games and winning the championship earned him the award of the Master’s Ring. Future championship wins will add a diamond to it with an increase in size after each win. The. junior bowlers, ncial champs Lindsay Talevski and Paul Larocque each received a tall Provincial _Champion’s Trophy. So keep on bowling “The Right Way - the Champion Way - the Georgetown Way” as taught by the instructors and bowlers involved.
