race for the 197900 Georgian Bay Intermediate hockey title The former Barrie coach has the Shipbuilders playing determined style of precision team hockey which seems to be steadily improving Thats obViously why the battling club is now out in front Paul Regans Barrie Flyers are of course close to the leaders and are often rated as having an even chance of out manoeuvering the present firstplace club But it is close race with the Owen Sound Greys leorgetown Raiders Port Elgin and Dundas all having shown early that any rivals underrating them do so at their own peril Before the season startedit wus often calculated Orillia Terriers might be llyers main rivals for supremacy Cur rently the Terriers have four victories and three defeats which places them well back of the leaders After losing hardfought 54 overtime decision to Terr riers in the seasons opening at Collingwood the Ship builders demonstrated their potential clearly to Orillia fans by turning the table on the Lake
