Had they won against Kel- ; owna, they would have been in the prestigious 'A section championship game and at least eligible for the runner" up trophy but, as fate had it, + they were knocked out of the tournament and had to settle for nothing. The tournament itself, - without question, was the best organized Atom tourna- ment in .the province, pro- viding the youngsters with many memories they will cherish — a march pass of the 16 participating teams, a players banquet, superb hos- pitality by the merchants and people. of Osoyoos, and a special trophy to Lohnnie Stralaeff recognizing her as the first. girl. ever to. par- Heteste in the tournament. . In the first game against Victoria, the All Stars came out flying, dominating the contest and. skating away with a welldeserved team victory. Stephen Junker led the way, scoring three times, the all important first one un- assisted, the fourth All Star goal while shorthanded as- sisted by Barr and the fifth All Star goal also unassisted. David Josephson scored the second goal assisted by Junker. Roger’ Carlson, the ° game MVP and his usual tenacious self, also scored a short handed goal assisted by Junker and took the wind out of Victoria's sails. The final goal was scored by ‘Chris Stock from Chris Postnikoff. In the second ‘game, the determined all stars, met Penticton for the second time this season and edged the' Ahard-working Okanagan squad 4-2. Roger Carlson opened the scoring assisted by Jeff Fan- cy who played inspired hoc- key offensively and. defen- sively in all ‘three games. Fancy also scored the impor- tant tying goal on a great ef- fort assisted by Kevan Rilcof and Carlson, David Green's unassisted, remarkable ‘pin- ball deflection‘ off skate and post, from‘ behind: the goal proved to be the winner. Junker completed the scor- ing with an empty net tally with no time left on the clock. Rota and Smyl In May, a special: work- shop for 16:to 18-year-old ball players will be held at Kinnaird Park.) The clinic will not only: provide players with base- ball instruction,- but“ ‘will be used to screen local - talented players who may qualify for baseball schol-', arships. The clinic will also serve to screen potential players for B.C.’s provincial na- tional junior teams. « - Phipps said the clinic . open to all players — is first for the Castlegar area. A similar clinic was held in Kelowna last year. Overall, the victory was another team effort with honorable ‘mention going to the defensive corps of David Vecchio, Jeff Barr, Ken Hali- sheff, Derek Lalonde and Fancy. Against Kelowna, the All Stars were blitzed by one of the finest Atom teams in the. entire province, Undefeated during the year, they maintained their poise in the opening minutes of the game when the All Stars buzzed them with no results.’ The bigger, faster very disciplined Kelowna squad took control, gained momentum on some All Star mistakes and then never- looked back: Lohnnie Stral- aeff, in goal, was instrumen- tal in keeping the score down. Tronically, the “B" side championship was taken by Grand Forks when the All Stars had trounced on five previous occasions. ¢ All in-all the all stars enjoyed a most successful season taking second place, again, behind Kelowna in Spokane's Thanksgiving Tournament, first in their own Christmas’ Tournament, third in: Grand Forks’, East/West Classic, compiling an admirable 34-24 season record, Offer nsive threats “CALGARY.

Rangers take first game of series By The Canadian Press New York has caught Phil- adelphia napping once again, but the Rangers doubt the Flyers will be asleep for long this time. Last year the Rangers surprised the Flyers, elimin- ating Philadelphia in four games from the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. On Tuesday night, Anders Hedberg scored two goals as New York defeated Philad- elphia 6-3 to move the Ran- gers a step in the same dire- ction in the first game of their best-of-five National Hockey League series. In the only other. playoff game Tuesday night, Boston Bruins edged Quebec Nor- diques 4-3 in overtime to take a 1-0 lead in their Adams Division semifinal series. Hedberg, who also had an assist, said he was anything but overconfident after the win in the Patrick Division semifinal. “It was a battle,” Hedberg said. “We won the first game, but it will be a long series.” BRUINS 4 NORDIQUES 3[0T] Barry Pederson's second goal of the game at 1:46 of ‘overtime capped a Boston comeback and enabled the Bruins to overcome Peter Stastny'’s three first-period goals and gain the upper hand in the séries.
