Castlegar has lost three straight: two thrashings by the Nelson Maple Leafs, January 24 and February |, were bookends to a controversial loss to the Beaver Valley Nite Hawks on January 31 And while the Rebels coach and players admit they were out- played by Nelson, they're feeling a little bitter about losing to the Nite Hawks on Friday. “I figure [our losing streak] is one in a row,” said Castlegar coach Gord Walker. “We won the game on Friday but the ref took it away from us.” In the game, Castlegar looked like they were cruising to an easy win. Team captain Corey Ross opened the scoring midway through the first period with a See BLANKED 10A inside while point guard Ryan Vatkin began to control the pace of the game By the end of the first, the Rockers had the lead. But they couldn't shake LVR who began their take over—pulling ahead by one point, 28-27, at the half, The move continued as LVR outlasted the Rockers in the very physical game. Rocker shooters went cold bouncing shots off the rim and giving LVR the ball Turnovers seemed to go right for Castlegar as Vatkin went down with a Sprained wrist. With their starting playmaker out the Rockers could- n't adjust and LVR gripped a 15 point buffer for the rest of the game “We didn't play very well,” said Rockers coach John Ritchie. “Our handling of their press was awful.” The Rockers looked like a bet- ter team in their games before the final. They beat Kaslo and Prince- ton before losing to Nelson. “Inc y,” Ritchie said plagued SHSS as LVR itali on their chances to pick up a comfortable lead.

The junior boys basketball team lost their first game, 68-55, to Creston at the Whitewater Powder Classic at L.V. Rogers in Nelson. “That was the key game,” said junior Rockers coach Doug Hick- ey. “We didn't play very well against Creston.” Todd Bonderoff led all SH shooters with 16 points. He was also named as Rocker player of the game in the. opening loss. The second, match of the tour- ney was a little tighter, Stanley Humphries lost 64,43 to the host school—the eventual champions, The game was clipse for 30 minutes and the Rockers trailed by only two points at ithe half. “We didn't haye the beach strength to keep up with them,!

But then they're as good an example as you'll find any- where of what Junior B hockey is all about The league is meant for development. And that goes for everyone involved with it. From the players to the coaches to the referees— even the sports writers. It’s tough to predict what kind of game you're going to see on any given night. Players seem to ride emotional winds—not just on struggling teams like the Rebels, but even on the league leaders Last Saturday's blow-out by the Nelson Maple Leafs is a perfect example. After going almost two full months without a win, the Rebels sounded like everything was cool. The mood was light and positive in the dressing room. Spectators started returning—crowds, which had dropped to below fifty in the midst of the slump, crept to more than 200. And then the Rebels put on a show like last Saturday. A paid attendance of 205 lined the stands to watch their team bomb, while anoth~ er rode the gilded horse of a 12 game winning streak. The Friday night loss to Beaver Valley was a microcosm of the season. The Rebels hit a hairpin turn in the third period to blow a three goal lead. And though some fans and coaches felt the change was a result of the referee it's pretty tough to prove in a league like the KIJHL. And even if the ref was wrong—and I’m how often do officials have to put up with people blaming them even when they're tight? Q00 Stanley Humphries Senior Boys coach Says. John Ritchie doesn’t mind being thought of as strict. Ritchie is known to speak his mind while on the bench—both to his players and officials. He is also a coach who believes in putting what he thinks is the best line-up pos- sible on the court. This means some players will spend a lot of their season on the pine— but it could also mean a trip to the provincial championship. “If people don’t like it that’s too bad,” he It’s not. how you play the game ““We're bordering on seven experienced players at most. When it comes to the tougher games I'm going to go with the most experi- enced guys.” The Rockers travel to Grand Forks ghis weekend for a tournament that probably will fore shadow the West Kootenay Champi- onships, which start February 21 “It seems like our season is going to boil down to one game.” Q00 Three games in recreational hockey Spring weather graced these road hockey players as they enjoyed a day off from school on Monday.
