Rebels award own

By ED MILLS
Staff Writer

Castlegar Rebels’ rookie forward
Dale Bonderud completed a sweet
hattrick by picking up his second and
third awards of the season at the
Rebels year-end banquet last
weekend,

The Rebels regular-season scoring
champion with 26 goals and 57 poin-
ts, Bonderud was named the team’s
most valuable player and rookie of
the year in ceremonies held at the
Sandman Inn.

Add those two honors to his selec-
tion to the Kootenay International
Junior Hockey League's all-star team
in January, and it’s been quite a
season for the 18-year-old.

“I never thought it was going to go
as well as it did,"’ said Bonderud from
his home in Nelson Friday.

He said it took a couple of games to
adjust to the league but once he did,
things just fell into place.

“I got a lot of ice time, that’s one
thing (that helped him get the awards)
and (Rebels co-coach) Ed Cooper was
my coach last year so it was easy
playing for him this Season."’

It was Cooper, .who coached . the
Nelson midget rep team last season,
who picked up Bonderud after he was
cut from the Nelson Maple Leafs in
training camp.

The Rebels’ David Vecchio was the
only other two-time winnér on the
team, picking up the most valuable
team player award and the education
award which is given to the best
student on the team.

Another Nelson product, Dwayne
Dergousoff, won the best forward

award while hometown players Kevan
Rilcof won best defenceman and Cory
Ross won for most improved player.

Goaltender Rick Edwards, an
Oliver, B.C., native, who has played
his last game in a Rebels uniform
unless the league allows overage
players next year, won the sportsman-
ship and ability award.

Bonderud says he wants to play for
the Rebels next season but he will
tryout for a Junior A team if he gets
invited to camp. Under no circum-
stances, he said, will he play for the
Maple Leafs.

“I don’t see why I should," Bon-
derud said. ‘‘They cut me, last
(season) and Castlegar took me on
when I had no place to play, I'm
planning on coming back to
Castlegar.””

The Rebels finished the season with
a 14-25-1 record and missed the
playoffs for the second straight year.

Softball plans to
expand its horizons

By CasNews Staff:

The Castlegar and District Minor
Softball Association has announced it
will be forming a competitive boys’
league in the city for this season.

The league will consist of three age
categories —. peewees (under 14 years
old), bantam (under 16) and midgets
(under 18) — and will play an_in-
terlocking schedule-with teams from
Trail,_Nelson, Grand. Forks, Cran-
brook, Golden and other smaller

Kootenay.

communities in the surrounding area.
Competitive represenative for the
Castlegar Minor Softball Association,
Gordon Bos, says the city already has
a similar program for girls which has
been successful so the association
wants to try the same thing with boys.
“We're always trying to increase

_the-number of teams to make com-

petition a little stronger,"’ said Bos.

There is also a thriving boys’ league
already in place with teams in Midway
and Slocan Valley, as well as cities
already mentioned, that Castlegar
teams could play against.

Bos said he already has enough
boys to form teams in the midget and
bantam categories and he hopes

for other teams.

Registration for softball has
already begun at the Community
Complex.

But reports out of Trail say a

Id goalie
said. “We' re all just hoping Kevin
can come.back, he’s meant a lot to
this team.”’

Berdusco, who had no sensation in
his legs as he lay on the ice, has been
seen by a neurologist and his con-
dition has improved to the point
where he has some movement of toes
and some feeling in his legs.

on whether he will ever
have full use of his legs again won’t be
made until the swelling in his spine
area goes down.

As for Boates, he was used
sparingly Friday and Saturday in
Trail, in games two and three of the
best-of-seven series for the West
Division Championships.

He scored once in Nelson's 5-3 vic-

tory over the Smokies Friday as
Nelson took a 2-0 lead in the series.

But the game almost remains
secondary after what has happened,
certainly for Berdusco, and just as
surely for Boates.

Of all the people who wish Ber-
susco.a speedy recovery, no one can
say it with more sincerity than Boates.

“I really hope he gets better.’’

Atoms edged by Beaver Valley

Castlegar’s Atom House Legion-
naires lost to Beaver Valley's Atom
House_team_7-6_March 3 at Beaver
Valley.

Kevin Short of Castlegar opened
the scoring in the first period with his
50th goal of the season and put
Castlegar ahead 2-0 at the end of the
first.

During the second period,
Castlegar's Kelvin Bezaire and Short
scored but Beaver Valley came alive
and put four in the net.to make the

The third period was tense. The
Legionnaires scored two more but
Beaver Valley scored on a deflection
off a Castlegar player’s stick and then
two more quickly followed.

With the score 7-6 for Beaver
Valley and 1:27 left in third period,
the Legionnaires pulled their goalie.
Both teams fought determinedly but
the six Legionnaires managed to keep
the play .mostly in the attack zone.
‘With three seconds left, the puck
came from behind the Beaver Valley
net back to point-man Ryan Davis
who one-timed a shot on net that

went right between the goalkeepers
pads just as the siren blew.

But the goal-was a split-second too
late and was disallowed.‘

Short scored five g and one
assist in the game, bringing his' point
total to 77 in 25 games.

Other assists went to Josh Mcinnes,
Nathan Dalla Lana and Bezaire.
Honorable mention goes to Jamie
Ross and Ryan Biller for their out-
standing defensive work and to the
fine officiating by the Beaver Vallev
referee. Castlegar goalie Dustin
Heagy stopped 21 shots on net while
Beaver Valley’s goalie faced 33 shots.

playoffs.

Sandman Inn, which lost 5-4 to
Shell on Tuesday, meets Hi Arrow

tomorrow. .

Hi Arrow opened the scoring 50
seconds into the first period with
Darrell Bojechko connecting from
Obetkoff and Knowler.

Dean MacKinnon made it 2-0 with
an unassisted effort four minutes
later, before Shell took advantage of
a Hi Arrow penalty to Deve MacKin-
non as Chris Brodman scored from
Jason Hughes and Kirby.

Shell’s Rod Fayant tied the game at
the midway point of the first from
Ken Keraiff and Kirby. But Obetkoff
got his first of the night from Dave
MacKinnon and Rod Zavaduk to
make it 3-2 for Hi Arrow.

Shell kept pressing in the first and
Keraiff connected to tie the game
from Joe Bell and Dan Stelck.

Keraiff wasn’t finished yet as he
scored making it 4-3 for Shell with
under two minutes remaining and
then Fayant caught Hi Arrow sleeping
om the job with 33 seconds left in the
first and scored to make it 5-3.

But Hi Arrow, which had three
players in the top five in scoring the
regular season — Niki Hyson,
Obetkoff and Knowler — has proven
all season that no lead is safe as long
‘as there is time left, and with two full
periods to go Shell’s two-goal lead
was by no means secure.

Obetkoff erased that lead in the fir-
st two minutes of the second period
‘seoring-16-seconds in from Zavaduk
and then completing his hattrick a
minute later from Bob Larsh.

Knowler scored the only other goal
of the period unassisted, with 2:58
left, to give Hi Arrow a 6-5 lead
heading into the third.

WEEKEND

By JIM MORRIS
The Canadian Press

Being Canada’s best downhill skier is like being
Norway’s best hockey player. It really doesn’t mean much
outside the country.

Canada’s national downhill ski team has a plan to get
better, and it involves training with the Norwegians,
whose skiers have moved up in the world rankings.

Despite his mediocre showing at the recent Canadian
Alpine ski championships in Lake Louise, Alta.,; Rob
Boyd is still considered by many ski buffs to be the coun-
try’s top downhiller.

After winning last season’s final World Cup downhilt
in his hometown of Whistler, B.C., Boyd was expected to
produce big results during this year’s World Cup ski
season. But the best he was able to muster was an 11 th-
place finish and he dropped to 24th in the world rankings.

Teammate Felix Belczyk of Castlegar, B.C., has
moved up in the world rankings, to 11th spot, on the
strength of three top-10 finishes.

National team coach Glenn Wurtele thinks more
competition next summer at training camp in South
‘America will be better preparation for the World Cup cir-
cuit. Wurtele plans to share training camp with the Nor-
wegians.

Tretiak
says he's
not done

SASKATOON (CP) — Soviet
hockey star Vladislav Tretiak says he
may one day tend goal in the National
Hockey League.

Tretiak was discussing the infusion.
of his fellow Soviets into the NHL
system this season, with 10 coun-
trymen performing in six different
cities across North America.

1403 Bay Ave. 368-5606 “We've talked to their coaches about it and they are
very keen on it,’’ Wurtele said as the national Alpine
championships wrapped up last week.

Norway’s Atle Skaardal is ranked fifth in World Cup
downhill points and sixth in overall standings. Wurtele
figures Skaardal’s presence in training might help tune his
skiers for the season.

“For Boyd and Belczyk to train against him and
compare times, they’ll know where they sit.’”

Boyd;-who has taken on a mountain-man look by
growing a red beard to match his shaggy hair, likes the
idea.

“If one guy skis the best, it seems most of his team-
mates will ski a similar style,”” he said. ‘‘The technique
and style seems to rub off. If we train with them, it might
rub off on us.””

Training with other countries is nothing new for the
national women's team. Don Lyon, women’s downhill
coach, said the team has trained previously with the West
Germans and is negotiating to train with France’s skiers.

“We'd like to use them (the French) for their
aggression,’’ said Lyon, who is married to a former mem-
ber of the French team. ‘The French are always the go-
for-it type of team which is good to have. The Germans
are a good technical side to watch.”’
