Well here we are nearing the halfway point of the season and the standings don't really represent the performance of the teams thus far as some (i.e. Brampton) have played as many as six more games (22 in total) than their closest rival (i.e. Vaughan), with only 16 games played thus far.
Who do you believe has coached their team to exceptional success thus far? Now you all know that I'm "anything" but a homer, in fact if you asked Chris (Dawgiestiles) he would no doubt question my allegiance to the Raiders (of which he is NO doubt as far off base as ever! lol).
I would however, have to rate the Georgetown Raiders Head Coach, James Richmond and his staff (Lucky DeGrazia, Craig Teeple and Geoff Schomogyi) at the top of my personal list for Coaching Staff of the year!
With a very impressive win/loss record of 15 and 4 (including overtime/shoot out finals), and a goals for average of nearly five goals a game while surrendering three a game, Richmond and his staff have done an excellent jof of developing a very talented/deep team without the high priced talent of OHL departees!
Typically in the past here in Georgetown, we've had a "Director of Player Personnel" who recruits/obtains twenty year old talent with little or no regard to the financial burden that the team has endured.
This Raider team, much like this years edition of the Toronto Maple Leafs, is younger, faster and has NOTHING to prove! They are however (just as the Leafs are), surprising quite a few die-hard hockey fans ... including this one!
Great job James, Lucky, Craig and Geoff, keep up the great work and thanks for providing us TRUE fans with a very young but developing team that's exciting to watch! Nice defenssive zone coverage and offensive zone pressure as well! Thanks again and congratulations as my "Coaching Staff Of The Year" ..... thus far!!!
