The Georgetown Raiders Hockey ClubA BIG THANK YOU!! The Georgetown Raiders wish to thank all our fans and volunteers for all their help and support during the 2012/2013 hockey season. Visit our website for next season details. 2013 GEORGETOWN RAIDERS MINI CAMP
The Georgetown Raiders would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants and their parents for attending the Georgetown Raiders Mini Camp. The Raiders are the only team in the OJHL to invite NCAA coaches to its Mini Camp and the 5 coaches that attended were very impressed with the talent level at our camp. The competition level was very high at our camp and all players should be very proud of the way in which they represented their past teams, their parents and most importantly themselves. The coaching staff was very impressed with the professionalism with which the players handled themselves.
The coaching staff will be in touch very shortly to all players regarding the next step with our hockey club. If you do not hear from us, please feel free to reach out to us.
Once again we thank everyone for making our camp a tremendous success.
Regards,

Over the past years, the Georgetown Hockey organization has been able to develop talented young hockey players who have moved onto the next level of play. I am sure there are many Raider fans that have wondered what has happened to their once favourite players to wear the Raider crest. Here we will take a brief look at a few Raiders from the past and see where they are now. Jay Sprague, has moved on to play for the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL. Wade Finegan, a past captain of the Raiders is graduating this year from Bowling Green State University (CCHL). There he was awarded as being the most improved athlete throughout all of Bowling Green’s athletics. Mike Gurtler, who went on scholarship to Mercyhurt College (AHA) is graduating this year. Next season he will be suiting up with the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL. Kevin Harvey, who was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the 2003 NHL entry draft, has moved on to play in the AHL for the Springfield Falcons and is currently playing in the CHL for the Rapid City Rush. Rob Sgarbossa, who had received a scholarship to Morrisville State College (SUNTAC) is also graduating this year. Tyson Gimblett, is graduating this year from the University of Prince Edward Island. Matt Carter, is also graduating this year from the University of Prince Edward Island. Matt was also awarded 2nd Team All Canadian, and 1st Team All Atlantic Conference. Matt Carter was also at Dallas Star's Rookie Camp this September 2011. Jay Sprague, Wade Finegan, Kevin Harvey, Rob Sgarbossa, Mike Gurtler and Tyson Gimblett were all key members of the 2004-2005 Raider’s hockey team who came first in the division, won the Dudley Hewitt Cup and then moved onto the Royal Back Cup. At this time having a line consisting of Finegan, Sgarbossa and Gurtler really proved to be a huge asset in helping the team reach the RBC. We would like to wish all the Raiders of the past the best of luck in all their future endeavors, and hope to see them come support the new players to wear the Raider crest. |
