The Castlegar Atom All-stars

| et closed out the 1989-90 season on a
positive note, winning the D final in
the Osoyoos Atom Fiesta Easter tour-
nament.

A bit of bad luck plagued the All-
stars in their opening games as they
eutshot-.and_out played both op-
ponents but came out on the short
end of consecutive 4-3 losses.

In the first game April 12 against
Surrey_the All-stars had a 3-2 tead
with less than three minutes left only
to see Surrey pot two late goals to
steal the victory. Shawn Horcoff led
the All-stars with one goal and two
assists, while Darren Belanger and
Kent Fauth added singles.

Friday’s game against Beaver
Valley was much the same, as the All-

stars totally outplayed their West
Kootenay rival but could not beat a
hot Beaver Valley goatie;

Tied at three, a poor line change led
to the winning goal for Beaver Valley
with only two minutes left to play.

Horcoff once again led the All-stars
with two goals while Belanger, on a
pass from David Pucci, scored the
other marker.

Needing a win badly the All-stars
regrouped Saturday to beat a tough
team from Logan Lake.

Trailing 3-2 early in the third the
All-stars finally found the net scoring
three answered goals fora 5-3 vic-
tory.

Horcoff with the hattrick-and-one
assist led the All-stars, while Belanger
and Jay Antignani chipped in with
one goal each. Ryan Leckie and
Belanger added assists.

Sunday’s D final game against Pen-
ticton was no Contest as Castlegar

continued where they had left off on
Saturday and totally outplayed their
opponents in scoring a 7-0 shutout.

Horcoff had five goals and two
assists while Pucci and Fauth adding
singles. Craig Hawkins, Pucci, An-
tignani and Belanger added assists.

Justin Evin and Rob Bleier shared
the weekend goaltending duties.

Horcoff, Belanger, Pucci and
Fauth picked up game MVP hats and
team captain Horcoff was also named
tothe tournament all-star team: All in

all the 1989-90 season for the All-stars
was_a very successful one. They were

A big thank you goes out to head
coach John Horcoff, assistants Lee
Belanger and Bill Pottle, Jr., manager
Debbie Fauth and also to Jerry An-
tignani and Bill Carlson for their help
on the bench.

Global League is different

BERN, Switzerland (CP) — The
Global Hockey League, with 11 teams
confirmed for a 60-game schedule
beginning Nov. 1, will have rules and
formats that will create a novel brand
of the sport, says Canadian en-

ei : trepreneur and GHL chairman
Michael Gobuty.
~~ Hamilton and Saskatoon are the
a Canadian cities with teams.

Games willconsist_ of two 30-
minute periods rather than the three
20-minute periods of other leagues;

there will be no centre red line, which
wil, reduce the number of offside
whistles; a shootout will decide games
tied at the end of rgulation play; and a
penalty shot will be awarded against
any team having a high-sticking in-
fraction.

At a news conference Saturday,
Gobuty announced there will be fran-
chises in Prague and East Berlin.
Other European cities previously con-
firmed are Lyon in France, Milan in
Italy and Rotterdam of the

Netherlands. And Gobuty said two
more European cities will be added.

Besides Hamilton and Saskatoon,
franchises have been awarded to
Albany in New York, Providence,
R.I., Cleveland, Los Angeles and
Miami, and Gobuty said three more
cities will be added ‘‘in the immediate
future.” Cleveland won't play in the
first season.

Franchises sell for $400,000.
Owners will need to sell from 6,500 to
7,000 a game to break even, Gobuty

said.

The league will hold its first draft in
June in Lyon. Gobuty said some
players had been signed and announ-
cements will be made by individual
clubs.

TOUGH START

“It’s going to be tough getting
organized in such a short period of
time but we're going to have to get it
done,’’ Gobuty said. ‘‘Most of the
teams have a general manager and a
front office staff in place.

High school golf team
on line for fine season

By CasNews Staff

Doug Hickey finds it hard to call
himself the coach of the high school
golf team when all the players on it
are better golfers than him.

So he calls himself the teacher-
sponsor and tells the students to con-
sult a golf pro if they are having
trouble with their game.

So far though, the seven-man,

troubles at all.

After four matches this season the
Stanley Humphries secondary school
team is undefeated and could be on
track for a West Kootenay champion-
ship, according to Hickey.

“The team is certainly exceeding
my. expéctations this_year. I thought
we'd be middle of the pack and now |
think we have caunane shot at the
‘West Kootenays,”’ he said.

Pottle anchor the squad which in-

It was Archambault, with a 39 on

Golf Club Thursday afternoon, who
led SHSS in an 8-4 win over J.L.
Crowe of Trail. Carlson was second
lowest with a 40 on the par 36 back

The win raises SHSS's record to 3-
0-1 and concludes the season series
with J.L. Crowe with a win and a tie.

The six school league in which each _|

dary.

If SHSS wins the West Kootenays it
would have to playoff in the
East/West Kootenay championship in
which the top two teams would
qualify for a provincial tourney at
Williams Lake in May 28th.

Jays’ McGriff trying to
shake off lingering legacy

DUNEDIN, Fla. (CP) — While
Fred McGriff posted some impressive
numbers and inspired “some
superlatives in 1989, his lingering
legacy is The Slump.

Nobody knows that more than
McGriff, the 26-year-old first
‘baseman_who’s often compared to
Hall of Famer Willie McCovey.

After spending the first five months
of 1989 launching himself into MVP
status, McGriff slumped in Septem-
ber, hitting .211 and driving in a
measly 10 runs. In the playoffs again-
st Oakland, he went 3-for-21 with no

S.

“Last year I might have been tired,
but basically my mechanics were just
off,” McGriff said. ‘*I tried so much,
but by the end of the year I just
couldn't do it."”

To further frustrate McGriff
toward the end of the season, pitchers
steered clear of the inside part of the
plate, inviting him to jerk outside-
corner offerings to right field.

It worked wonders.

The big left-handed batter tried to
compensate by adjusting his stance —
and that’s when the trouble started. It
got so bad, McGriff said, he felt like

thinking like that. You have to be able
to do it automatically."”

McGriff spent a quiet winter at his
home in Tampa, Fla., wondering how
to get a fresh start in this, his fourth
season.

DON’T WORRY

“There's a lot of pressure in
baseball,’’ McGriff says. **I’ve lear-
ned you can’t go out there and worry
about what yc ‘id yesterday. Every
day’s a-new day. You've got to keep
your head clear.’’

McGriff’s last home run came
against-the-Chicago_ White -Sox_on.
‘Sept.-4,-a2 typical moon shot-that-lan-
ded five rows deep at Comiskey Park.
He still ended up leading the league

with 36, giving him 90 for three
seasons.

He also placed second to Rickey
Henderson in walks with 119; was
second in slugging percentage at .525
and fourth in extra-base hits with 66.

His RBI total — 92 — was short of
the standard that might be expected
for a cleanup hitter with 36 homers:
Tony Kubek, the former Jays broad-
caster, has said McGriff is too selec-
tive at the plate, drawing walks in-
stead of driving in runs.

McGriff worked on his stroke all
winter, sometimes pounding balls out
of the yard at his old high school in
West Tampa, otherwise standing in
front of a mirror .
