MOUNTAINVIEW AGENCIES esary romageliad 3 bdrm Nera en By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer Castlegar Rebels lost 3-1 to Spokane Flames Tuesday night in the first game of the Kootenay Inter- national Junior Hockey League best of seven West Division championship. Rebels manager Ron Rebelato commented it was a “guper game all the way through,” but the Rebels couldn't get any scoring punch and missed many scoring opportunities. ‘The two teams failed to produce any goals until the second period when each’ team scored a goal. And the period ended in a 1-1 tie. Paul Brown scored for Spokane 26 seconds into the second period, assisted by Dan Holden and Todd Ulrich. Rebels’ Mike Corbett tied the game 2'2 minutes later on an unassisted marker at 2:52. Spokane got its second ahd winning goal at 1:30 of the third period from Mike Mitchell, who was assisted by Holden and Ulrich again. At the 16-minute mark, Mike Hilts scored'the insurance goal for the Flames, helped out by Travis Knoles and Dave Wolf. “] said it was going to haunt us until we corrected it,” Rebelato said of the lack of scoring. . “We've got to score. When they cough up the puck in front and hand it to you, you should fire it in. It's bugging the coaches that they (the players) are not aggressive around the net.” “We should have had five easy goals. We couldn't rebound. It would come out but no one would go after it.” At the same time Rebelato gave credit to Rob Tamelin who did a good job of shadowing Spokane's Charlie Goodwin, a player on the top line. “He (Tamelin) stayed on him all night,” Rebelato said. “He took so much abuse. The referee finally called a high sticking penalty in the third period up until that point, he was bleeding, he took a severe beating.” Rebelato also said that goaltender Dave Kinakin played a superb game in the net. “It would have been a lot worse without him,” he said. The Flames, however, used their substitute goal- tender in place of their regular goalie Sam Frobe who separated a shoulder in a game Friday night against Beaver Valley: The Flames received clearance through the B.C. Amateur Hockey Association te-use Rossland Warriors goaltender Bert Brooker, but never started him. Canadian Amateur. Junior Hockey Regulations stipulate that if a goaltender is injured, he can be replaced by a goaltender from another team with medical certification, says KIJHL president Terry Skarbo. “Coaches and players putting out 100 per cent are confident we are going to take the series, even if they have picked pu the best goalie in the league,” Rebelato Rebels lose series opener to Spokane ROB TAMELIN . took abuse DAVE KINAKIN superb goaltending said Tuesday, obviously upset over the situation. “Spokane being in the league has caused numerous problems,” he continued. “The kids get back at two in the morning and have to go to school the next day. It costs us money — $52 to keep the border open. It’s total insanity. It's the most bush league operation I've seen in my life.” Rebelato said the Rebels were still exhausted from the first series against Nelson. The Rebels eliminated Beaver Valley from the three-team round-robin playoffs with a 5-4 victory over the Nite Hawks Saturday night. “Tm mad, not because of the possibility of losing, but we're not giving the fans proper dates.Spokane doesn’t matter. They draw very few (about 200),” Rebelato said. “We're going to take it to them.” We're going right after them. “We're hoping to change a few things tonight,” he said. “We've got to get more offence out of the forwards. We may move the defense up and forwards back. We've got to get away from this lull we're in.” With Tuesday,night’s loss, Rebelato said the Rebels will have to win the series “the hard way,” which means winning in Spokane as well as all their home games. “It's tough because of the terrible rink — The Eagles Ice Arena, .Jt stinks of ammonia, it's a filthy.and-de- pressing rink. It doesn’t help. Even when you win, it’s nice to get out of there.” The Rebels and the Flames continue their series at 7 p.m. tonight in the arena complex. The series goes back to Spokane Friday night and Saturday night in Castlegar. A fifth game, if necessary, will be played Sunday in Spokane, a sixth Tuesday in Castlegar and a seventh Wednesday in Spokane. ai vl LTD. 365-2111] =e Priced to sell in the 40s. ‘Super 100 x 150 tor in good Sour close to schools th Castiegor location Bench area. one bbock fram school.

Patrik Sundstrom scored the winner, his 33rd goal of the season, with two minutes and seven seconds left to cap Vancouver's comeback from a 2-1 deficit Tuesday night. The victory, coupled with Los Angeles Kings’ 9-1 loss to Calgary Flames, increased to seven points the lead fourth- place Vancouver holds over the Kings. And the Canucks moved to within one point of Winnipeg Jets. The Capitals remain four points behind the Patrick Division-leading New York Islanders. “We're fighting to make the playoffs and they're fight- ing for first place,” said Van- couver general manager- coach Harry Neale, “We've played parts of a lot of games lately but, to night, we didn’t go in the tank like we have been.” Elsewhere, it was: Quebec Nordiques 6, Detroit Red Wings 2; St. Louis Blues 5, Minnesota North Sars 2; and New York Rangers 3, New Jersey Devils 3. The Hartford-Montreal game was postponed by a snowstorm that forced diver- sion of the Whalers’ plane to Syracuse, N.Y. The game was rescheduled for March 8. FOUR-GOAL PERIOD In Landover, Md.,' each team scored twice in the se¢- ond period after playing scoreless hockey through the first 20 minutes. Vancouver's Cam Neely split the defence and beat Washington goaltender Pat Riggin at 4:20 but Washing- ton moved in front on goals by Bob Carpenter and Bob Gould within 34 seconds. Carpenter got his 19th of the year at 7:21, eight seconds after emerging from the pen- alty box. Gould found the bottom corner of the net on the far side of goalie John Garrett at 7:55. Jere Gillis tied it at 12:56, getting behind the defence and deflecting a pass from Gary Lupul into the Wash ington net. The Canucks were without five regulars, all on the side- lines with injuries. FLAMES 9 KINGS 1 Kent Nilsson scored two goals and assisted on three others to help Calgary in- scored the only goal of the first period but St. Louis got two goals from Joe Mullen and singles from Bernie Fed- erko and Rik Wilson in the second and Brian Sutter early in the third to open a big lead. Steve Payne closed out the scoring for the visi- tors, losers to the Blues for the first time since Jan. 28, 1982, It was the Blues’ first win in eight games. RANGERS 3 DEVILS 3 Mike Allison's goal at 2:06 of the third period lifted New York to the tie in East Rutherford, N.J. Mark Osborne and Pierre Larouche, with his 43rd, also scored for the Rangers, while Mel Bridgman, with two, and Jan Ludvig replied for the Devils.

Paul Gillis and Mario Mar- ois added one each. Lane Lambert and Reed Larson seored for the Red Wings. 1 Mario H “AA” Playoffs are being held at Selkirk College. Taking part are four senior boys teams and three senior girls teams. The three-day affair gets underway Thursday with three opening round games. At 5 p.m. L.V. Rogers (Nel- son) meets J.L. Crowe (Trail) in a boys’ game. The 6:45 p.m. game has the same two schools locking horns in a girl's game. The final game of the evening, at 8:30 p.m., matches the Stanley Hum- phries Rockers with the Mt. Baker Trojans (Cranbrook). The game times are re- peated on Friday night as the boys progress through their double knockout draw and the winner of Thursday's abel game meets Mt.

The two Cranbrook teams are definite favorites going into the play off tournament. The Trojanettes had a per. fect 6-0 record in league play and can expect to meet the J.L. Crowe Hawkettes in the final series. Individuals to watch for on the Mt. Baker squad are Jerry Dakin and Jody Savage. The Mt. Baker boys also had a perfect league record, 9-0, but have had two very close games with Stanley Humphries and J.L. Crowe in the last-two weeks. “The Trojans have eight second year players\who are all good athletes,” said Roc- ker coach Kevin Morris. “Their talent and their depth means you have to have a near perfect game to beat them. The keys are to not let them build an early lead and try to rattle them with a press.” TITLEHOLDERS . . . Senior Rockette from Stanley Hum- phries (1) sways ball from Rossland Royalette in West Kootenay championship final Friday. The Rockettes beat the Royalettes 42-26 to advance to the provin cials. CoshtewsPhote by Ryan Wilson Keski-Salmi wins 50-km HINTON, ALTA. (CP) — Marathon specialist Reino Keski-Salmi of Salmon Arm, won the men's 50-kilometre race in convincing fashion Tuesday. in the finale of the Canadian senior cross-coun- try ski season to capture the overall championship. Owen Spence of Regina had led the points standings going into the 50-km race but finished 12th to allow Keski- Salmi to take the overall crown and the Carling O'Keefe Cup for the first time since 1981. In somewhat tricky waxing conditions, Keski-Salmi, 26, led from start to finish to col- lect his first gold medal in the race since 1980, clocking two hours 30 minutes 57.8 sec- onds. “When I learned I was 20 seconds ahead of everyone after a kilometre I knew I had the skis for a gold medal,” said the native of Finland, whose winning mar- gin of eight minutes and 56 seconds was one of the more impressive in years. Poor choice of wax forced one pre-race favorite, Yves Bilodeau of Quebec City, to drop out. But teammate An- dre Tourigny of St. Leonard gave Quebec a surprise silver in 2:39:53.1. First-year senior Erik Gaarder, 20, of Vancouver fought back from a slow start to win the bronze in 2:40:56.5. Spence, 22, aiming for the overall men's crown, was hampered by slow skis and could only manage a frus trating 12th place in 2:49:37.6. Marie-Andree Masson, 20, of Victoriaville, Que., led from start to finish to win the women’s 20-km final. “I just skied relax but pushed as hard as | could,” said Masson, who had won the 10- and five-km events earlier in the championships Castlegar racers sweep ski series Racers from the Nordic Ski Touring Club of Castlegar completed their sweep of the Kootenay Cup cross-country ski race series on Sunday. The final leg of the series was held under ideal condi- tions at the Blackjack Ski Trails near Rossland. While most of the 64 com- petitors were from the three local clubs, entrants came from as far afield as Spokane. An encouraging sign was the number of competitors in the over class, Darren Tamlin for his 2.5 km race, Dana Fen wick and Muriel Walton in the Masters Women class and the mother and daughter combination of Mary and Pauline Orr. For complete results, see‘ Mid-Week Wrap-Up. page B2. Because of the number of participants and their enthu- siasm, Kootenay Cup organ- izers are already planning for an ea yee Cup Series next younger age The Castlegar Nordics col- lected points in nearly every age group with notable per- formances being turned in by Rolf and Kari Hartman, Tauno Syrja in the 560 and races will possibly be held in Kimberley and near Spokane, as well as a 25-30 km mass participation marathon-style race in the Nancy Greene-Paulson Ski area. Masson clocked 1:06:55.2 to defeat a pair of Ottawa skiers by almost three min. utes. Her triple gold in the championships equalled the feat by Shirley Firth of In- uvik, N.W.T., in 1978. The win also gave Masson the Carling O'Keefe Cup as top female. Ottawa skiers Janet Lumb and Jenny Walker, shut out from the medals in the earlier individual events, found re- venge in the 20-km as Lumb finished second in 1:09:45.9 and Walker was third in 1:10:29.7.
