position becomes available ith a hockey team Invariably rumors begin to come upas to who will fill the vacancy Quite often the rumors arent following up but this t case Phone calls In and around Georgetown about prospects Tor the coaching and general manager positions currently available with Georgetown Chrysler Raiders drew upa variety of potential applicants However a curious coaching possibility kept creeping up that was the name of Colling wood Shipbuilders coach Sly Slys name arose as a result of his long friendship with Raiders sponsor and vicepresi dent of hockey operations Barry Whitworth sources Herald The thought of having Sly come to Georgetown was news to team president Finn but he added he would have considered the Collingwood coach quite seriously Ive a I ways considered Darryl to be a good coach and if he was Interested I happy to consider him He gets the best out of his players But any news about this is purely speculation because Ive heard nothing Rick Valve is coming to play for Georgetown this year It would be great to have him but there Is no value to it saying so When contacted in Collingwood Sly said he bad been approached for the coaching position but only in Jest It would almost be impossible for me to drive all that way he said From what I heard last year they Raiders practised once a week If they Intended to do anything they would have to practise twice a week If you included the two games they play on the weekend I have to make up to four trips into Georgetown That thought too crossed mind We never be able to afford his mileage expenses he said Those minor about are well founded Our expenses are pret ty Our budget this year was around and while the bills will be paid off Instead of preparing for the upcoming year we re still paying the SLY In terms of mileage Georgetown Is about 100 miles south of located just outside of Barrle Sly la too busy waiting word on whether or not the Shipbuilders will in fact be In operation this season Talk about their financial situation revolves around their expenses being too much for the club budget This year we had to go to and Chatham both on the same weekend twice iparedtoonlyoncelastyear It ends up costing us about a weekend Even going to Woodstock from where we are up here Isn cheap Those rumors about finances are well founded Ourexpensesorepreltyhlgh Our budget this year was around 120000 and while the bills will be paid off instead of preparing for the upcoming year were still busy paying the bills If the Shipbuilders were to cease operations Sly wouldnt have to go far to coach hockey Owen Sound has offered him chance to coach their Tier II franchise and Georgian College has said the same concerning their college hockey team But as long as there Is a Shipbuilders team Sly will be there as the coach If there is a team Id like nothing better than to beat the heck out of Georgetown Right now it looks grim but this is May and you never I do know I would love to be able to get hold of some of the talent they Georgetown have there and try to do something with it Dave touring Australia with team Raider goalie going down under Action resumes
