Houck’s two wins Tuesday left him buoyant ‘about his Winnipeg rink’s play, and thankful he had given in to his teammates’ request to make a comeback as skip last year, Houck led the rink to a 65 record at the Canadian championship last year and this year he’s in the running to win. “The team is playing as well as it can play,” said Houck, who beat Bayne Secord of Saskatchewan 5-4 in the mbrning “They're to their’ Houck pth oh to path Huot's Quebec pulled off the biggest upset on the men's , Calgary Lioyd Lawless of Summerside, P.E.1., 6-4 in the morning draw before edging pesky Quebec 7-6 in 11 ends in the afternoon round.

VANCOUVER (CP) — If the lowly Vancouver Canucks only played Adams Division teams, their record might be above the .500 mark this National Hockey League season. The Canucks came up with a workmanlike effort Tues- day night to defeat the Que- bec Nordiques 4-2, a win that kept them in the hunt for a Smythe Division playoff berth and ensured Vancou- ‘WORKMANLIKE' EFFORT ver of a winning record against Adams Division com- petition. Although the Canucks only beat the Nordiques once in their three-game series this year, the club's record against the Adams Division is 7-5-1 but they have losing marks against Smythe, Nor- ris and Patrick division clubs.

Skriko fired his 29th and 30th goals of the season to go along with two assists while Pederson picked up his 24th goal of the year and added three assists. Rightwinger Jim Sandlak had a goal and two assists. BUILDS CONFIDENCE “Skriko and Pederson are a big part of the team and playing alongside them has really bolstered my confi- dence,” said Sandlak. “But I have to continue working hard so I can stay on the line.” Coach Tom Watt put the line together two weeks ago and said their defensive play was the key to scoring against Quebec. “Their forechecking in the first two periods against the Nordiques led to three goals and if they keep it up, who Canucks down Nords knows how many points they'll score?” Vancouver netminder Richard Brodeur, who stop- ped 19 of 21 shots, said knowing the Los Angeles Kings had won earlier helped motivate his teammates. “We were down for a while in the dressing room but it jedicii Hat rink edged aca Donald Flynn's Ms ine ; Jobn, NB. 8-6 in the evening draw while Kempton's Halif foursome stopped Peggy Bentley of the Territories 7-8.

Belcyzk 12th in super GS By CasNews Staff Castlegar native Felix Bel- ezyk, who has been burning up the slopes of Mount Allen in recent downthill training runs, came up with a 12th place showing in Sunday's super giant slalom. On Saturday he came in 15th in the downhill. Belezyk, who at 25 is the oldest member of the Can- adian men’s national alpine- ski team, finished first in two training runs last week. “This course is so much fun to run, everytime I get to the bottom I go ‘well that was fabulous and I want to go up and do it again,” Belezyk said. 4 Belezyk along with Whist- ler native Rob Boyd has been labelled “the killer Bs” by reporters who have been covering the Mount Allen World Cup downhill races. During a downhill training run last week Belezyk raced down the course in one minute 47.41 seconds. That was six-tenths of a second faster than Switzerland's Peter Mueller, who had a time of 1:48.25 and even- tually won Saturday's race. “The top held up really. well,” Belezyk said when asked about the softening snow conditions. Belezyk was the top Can- adian in Sunday’s race. with his 12th place showing. Boyd came in’35th, while Rossland native Derek Trussler fin- ished 37th. Don Stevens, also of Rossland, placed 51st. “It was a blow losing Todd Brooker (to a career-ending crash at Kitzbuehel). Dry-land skiing and a na- tional team camp at Whistler are scheduled for later this spring.
