Rebs
to get
prez?

Ed Mills
SPORTS EDITOR

A candidate for the Castle-
gar Rebels presidency has
come forward, The Castlegar

News has learned.

However, the Junior B
hockey club’s outgoing presi-
dent Russ Rilcof said he isn’t
ready to divulge much infor-
mation on the candidate in-
volved.

“There is someone who has
responded, but he has put a
couple of provisos on it, so he
can’t commit,” Rilcof said.

“Basically, what it boils
down to is that he’s applying
to coach another team, and if
he gets to coach this other
team then he won’t be avail-
able for us.”

Rilcof said he didn’t want to
identify the candidate, but he
did say he’s hoping something
will break soon in his search
for a replacement.

“At this particular time
their isn’t a commitment for
the presidency, but I am hop-
ing that something is going to
be able to be worked out in the
near future.”

Meanwhile, just who will
assume the duties of presi-

coach and general man-

ager was among the main top-
ics of discussion at the Rebels’
annual general meeting last
Thursday at the Community
Complex.

But the No. 1 concern, ac-
cording to Rilcof, is an antici-
pated drop in revenue be-
cause of the provincial gov-
ernment’s change in regula-
tions regarding revenue from
pull-tab tickets.

“Our revenue is going to
drop by at least $15,000 for
the year and we're going to
have to do some significant
fund-raising to account for
that discrepancy,” Rilcof said.

Still, with a major recruit-
ment tournaments on the
horizon, getting the coach’s
and general manager’s posi-
tion filled as soon as possible
has become a priority, he said.
