Hydro nconvenience BChydro & may cause SAFETY AND Junior Hockey League team is sit- ting comfortably in fourth place. The Rebels have the psycho- logical advantage of only having lost two games in a row. They also know they can beat any team in the league, because they have done that already this year. “We have beat every team in the league, at least once. We have only lost two games back to back,” Rebels Co-Coach, Gary Sauer said. According to Sauer, that psy- chological ace in the sleeve for the Rebels will come in handy when the players can look at any other team and think to them- selves we can beat these guys. “There is no reason in the ALTH COURSES.

The KUHL teams must have their final 21 player roster submit- ted to the league by January 10. Before that date, teams can change their players, but once a player has a card filled out in his name, that Card can't be changed. With only a limited number of the cards, the teams are all waiting to see if they can pick up any last minute additions to their teams. Unfortunately, the Rebels had signed a card for Craig Swanson, who decided to move back down to Castlegar’s Bantam Rep team. Dur- ing Saturday’s Bantam Rep game , Swanson tallied up four assists and one goal in the teams 6-5 come-from-behind victory. “With the loss of Swanson, it will leave a big spot open on the team,” That spot won't stay open long if the coaches have their way, as there will be some new faces on the ice this weekend against Beaver Valley and Rossland. “The players we are looking at are going to have to show they can the team, it will be their determine if they will earn a spot.” Castlegar is in fourth place over- all with 29 points. Teams ahead of the Rebels in the standings are: Grand Forks with 42 points, Nel- son, 41; and Spokane with 35. The Rebels have played 20 games this season and other teams have had as many as 27 games so far. The Rebels will be catching up by mak- ing up the games during the New Year wheh the majority of their games are on the road. All the teams are trying to Every team in the league is ing their lineups ing to Sauer. “Nelson and Grand Forks have been adding to their roster.” While those teams are adding players, the Rebels need to have the strongest team as possible is fied. Retuming from an injury, Shane Cutler is back in the lineup for the Rebels. Sauer said his presence will add to the strength of power- play and penalty killing duties. Another new change in the Rebels organization is the team's recent official affiliation with the Junior A Vernon Lakers. Sauer said this affiliation will benefit the Rebels in many ways. “Tf they have some late cuts they can send the player to us, in the to the Rebels, and the Rebels could send players up to the Lakers. At this point, halfway the season, the new affiliation will be more of a benefit for both teams next year. “In the long run it will be a case of one hand feeding the other. It will be more beneficial next year,” Sauer said. Sauer says the coaches have some tough decisions to make about which players to sign on and which to cut. The play-offs are coming up quickly, and what position your team finishes in will determine which team you play and who has the home ice advantage. “Our goal is to get up to first or second place, then we will have the home ice advantage dur- ing the play-offs,” Sauer said. Slo-pitch in Hawaii, life's rough Fun in the sun,and a little ball, what could be a better way to start off the month of December. Castlegar’s Woodland Park did not allow the pitcher to have any arc on the pitches, something they were not used to. The other was the ion form Shell softball team was in Hawaii for a slo-pitch tournament. “The teams in Hawaii had an advantage, they can play all year, we were a bit out of shape,” said Kim Tassone, one of the players. The team played in a round robin tournament which started December 4. The first tournament was made up of three Canadian teams, one from Victoria and the other a Vancouver area team. Castlegar swung their way to one win and two losses. The rules were differem than the local team was used to. The first being the pitching rules. The rules: ‘Nor rest on weekend for Rebels which was filled out before the team went to Hawaii, said the teams must have six men arid four women on the field. However when they arrived, they were told it was five men and five women. ‘That change threw a curve into the team’s plans. They went down with seven men and five women, leaving them with what they thought would be two substitutes, one male and one female. They had to play the five women, and have two men sitting off. On Saturday, the team entered in a 10 team tournament. There were three Canadian teams in this match- up, while the other seven were from Hawaii. As the tournament p1 Woodland Park Shell became more comfortable with the rules and the games became a lot clos- er. Castlegar played two games in the final tournament losing both. “The last game we only lost by one run. We started to get the hang of the different rules,” Tassone said. The only downfall according to Tassone was that the tournament was so far from our regular sea- son, which ends after the summer. “Tt was an excellent experience, if we were to go again it would be for a tournament that was closer to our regular ball season.”” “We all came back as friends, and we developed a lot of team spirit.” Sun Sports Last weekend's unscheduled weekend off for the Rebels was not used as a rest. Instead, the team had a prac- tice in which they played a scrim- mage game with some Ex-Rebels. Bruno Tassone, and Rebels co-coach Gary Sauer, were two of the ex-Rebels who suited up for the game. The players were split up into two teams, using the teams white home jerseys and the blue away One of many goals scored in the Rebels team scimmage, the final score 7-6 for the white side.
