September 27, 1995 AQ Blowin JEFF GABERT Bawa a, Sun Sports It all began in a dark smoke- filled arena but by the end the Castlegar Recreation Complex was filled with light and the smoke, along with the Beaver Valley Nite Hawks, had been blown away. The Castlegar Rebels are enter- ing the second week of their 20th KIJHL season on a one-game winning stréak by virtue of a 5-2 victory over the Nite Hawks in their season opener Friday night It may be early to start talking about streaks but, after last week, this team clearly isn't geared toward losing. It all started last Wednesday when the Rebels played the Ross- land Warriors in an exhibition, game at the Complex. The game featured eight Castlegar players who were all fighting for jobs on the club. Castlegar native Brain Mac- Cormick scored first for the Rebels at the 7:47 mark of the first period and the Rebels went on to take a 3-0 lead into the sec- ond frame. The Warriors man- aged to score a goal halfway through the period and again at the beginning of the third to keep the score close but the Rebels defence tightened up. Jason White and Kevin MacGillvray scored in the third to put the game away. The rematch in Rossland the following night went much the same as the Rebels used two goals from newcomer Trevor Johnson to beat the Warriors 4- moke Split decision! Rebel goalie Mike Kooznetsoff was one of the major factors in Castle- gar’s opening night 5-2 victory over Beaver Valley. Nite Hawk forward Greg Carson found out why as he was stymied on this breakaway chance. 2. Also scoring for Castlegar was Bill Phillips who notched one in the first period and then added an empty netter to finish the game Rossland outshot the Rebels 31-26 with Rob Stock getting most of the work (20 shots) for Castlegar before being replaced by Les Barry. But those were just exhibition games with the main event sched- uled one day later in Castlegar versus the Nite Hays. SUN SPORTS PHOTO / Jeff Gabert New Rebel owner Bryan Bucci made the home opener as big an event as possible replete with guests such as RMJHL commis- sioner John “Bronco” Horvath See OPENER A12 Selkirk Saints go marching away JEFF GABERT Sun Sports It wasn’t too long ago that these pages were filled with exciting news about the athletic programs at Selkirk College. But that was the past and the future of the college is now one of fiscal restraint which now means a total restraint on athletic funding Selkirk College has decided to take a leave of absence from the B.C. College Athletic Association in order to “retrench” and evalu- ate the feasibility of programs in the future. Preston Zeeben, co-manager of sports facilities at Selkirk Col- lege, said the move had to be made due to the drop in student numbers at the college and inter- est in the programs. “We've been having problems with student interest and having enough bodies to fill the teams,” said Zeeben. “It’s been pretty hard to justify the programs.” “Last year we cancelled the men’s volleyball team because there weren't enough bodies. We had a women's team but we struggled every weekend to get six players to go on road trips.” Despite the declined interest and the change in the demograph- ics at the college towards more mature students, Zeeben still con- tends that the programs can be kept alive. Most of the programs suspended from inter-collegiate play this year are expected to put together club teams that will compete in various tournaments around the province. For its part, the College will donate all its equipment to the clubs. In the meantime, Zeeben hopes to see interest in the athletic pro- grams rise. “Those students who have an interest have to come out and show an interest,” said Zeeben. “We're taking a year to retrench and see if there's an interest. But [complete closure of the programs] is a possibility if the kids don’t come out.” One of the people most affect- ed by the “retrenching™ is Selkirk Mens Volleyball coach Mike Perra. Perra has been involved as a player and coach at the college since 1988 and he doesn’t want to see the athletic programs die. He agrees with Zeeben that there isn’t enough interest but believes there should be more of an emphasis on creating an interest in young players. “People are not coming to the college for the athletic pro- grams because people don’t _know we have a high level pro- gram,” said Perra. He believes the programs can be run a lot more efficiently and their success can have a big effect on the college as a whole. “Ultimately people have to look at what the athletic program Putting on the finishing touches! The new balifields at Kinnaird Park are in their finishing stages. The new fence and outfields are already in place. Now the only work needed is the infields and dugouts SUN SPORTS PHOTO Jett Gabert —_ will do for the college,” said Perra. “You don’t hear a lot about th I, personally, am of the belief that athletics can be one of the money generating things for the college.” And for the rest of Castlegar as well. Perra said the loss of the athletic program is bound to have effects on the local business com- munity since teams that would regularly come to Castlegar for tournaments and regular league play will no longer make the trip As an example he pointed to the Midget Provincial Volleyball Championships held at Selkirk two years ago that brought 23 teams to the city for an entire weekend Perra said the answer to the current crisis may be as simple as turning to the community that will be affected. He believes the programs at the college have to get more involved with the pro- grams at the high school and junior high levels thus creating an interest and a legacy of future Selkirk athletes. “Nobody has ever taken a look at an integrated program like that which not only feeds itself but gives back to the community,” said Perra. But now he and the. rest of the athletes at Selkirk must adapt to the club system. Perra said he will do his best to run a full club that will include a wide variety of teams from bantam all the way up to adult “I’m doing the club because there's a lot of my friends and people who want to play,” said Perra. “The college is supplying me with a lot of equipment and I'll fly with it.” “The worst part is we would have had a devastating team this year. And it's just disheartening It’s really too bad.” In order to stir up interest in the programs, Perra has arranged for an exhibition volleyball game between Team Canada and a pro fessional team out of Russia to Play at the College on Oct After that, he has several tourna ments planned over the winter Overall,-he believes the interest is there, it just has to be stimulated And that's all Preston Zeeben and the people on the Selkirk bud get committee want to sce as well SIDELINES Making Pillars Between Posts Perry Elderbroom is known worldwide for his great teaching in the area of goaltending, He has worked ¢xtensively with NHL goaltender Sean Burke, the Finnish National team as well as the Nanaimo Clippers, just to name a few. Now, he's planning to work with the youth of stlegar. The Elderbroom Goaltending School is coming to Castlegar this Saturday and Sunday for a two-day mini-camp that will feature some of the best instruction in the business. Usually a camp of this magnitude would cost each player a lot more than their yearly allowance, but not this year.

For more information on how to register or start times, call Brian Bebelman at 365-2155.

The first was new uniforms with a new logo. The Rebels Yosemite Sam went through a rigorous training regimen in the summer and came out sleek. Only problem was he was lacking a little color. That was until Eric Spilker (left) and Emily Gustafson came along. They colored in the historic Rebel figure in the recent Castlegar Sun contest and won first prize in their age groups. Havin’ an Indoor Ball The outdoor soccer season is just about finished but that doesn’t mean the kids have to sit around playing video games all winter long. Thanks to the wonderment of the game of indoor soccer kids can play the game year round. Last year, the free indoor soccer program at Twin Rivers School was such a big hit that they're doing it again. It all starts October 3 and runs every Tuesday until March. Young athletes of all shapes, sizes, ages, and skill levels are invited to take part in the sessions which are designed to teach the basics while still emphasizing fun, Every session begins at 6 p.m. and lasts until 8:30, which is just enough time for parents to catch their favorite primetime television shows and take a breather at the same time. It's better that the kids kick a ball in the gym than your living room anyway. For more information call Clemmy at 365-3359 Comment of the Week The Castlegar Rebels started their 20th season of hockey last Fri- day under a new m ement, a new head coach and new expec- tations. The night's festivities included a smoke filled pre-game show that saw Rebels owner Bryan Bucci hand over a check to Rocky Mountain Hockey League Commissioner John “Bronco’ Horvath and Rossland-Trail MLA Ed Conroy drop the puck for the opening face-off. The game started with a few short speeches and a lot of fanfare but the biggest difference wasn’t on the ice It was on the bench. From the time the game started to the time it ended every Rebel player sat on the bench in a line without mov ing until it was their turn to take the ice. It was a picture of con trol and discipline that hasn't been seen in this area for awhile ind one has to believe Ht bodes well in games to come The game itself saw some sloppy play from both teams but as time wore on, the team that sat on the bench calmly, cooly and collectively von out over the team that stayed standing, leaning over the bench and yelling at the referee. It makes one wonder if the team lett standing at the end of this KUHL season will actually be the one that has spent the most time sitting down
