But because of business commitments in
Grand Forks, Ulmer has to be considered a long
shot for the job.

Ulmer, who coached the Border Bruins from
1989 to ’91, agrees that a lot would have to

him to be able to take the job, “but it’s a
possibility.”

Rilcof said he had a “very productive” meeting
Thursday with Gord Walker, who coached the
team at the end of last season.

Rilcof said Walker would like to coach the
Rebels next season, but because of work
responsibilities can’t give a firm commitment to
the team until June. y

‘“He made the commitment that he would
never leave us in the lurch. But because time is
of the essence in terms of recruiting players for
next year, makes it such that we would like to
get a coach as soon as possible.”

Rilcof hopes advertising the position in the .

local media will flush out more candidates for
the job.

The club’s annual general meeting is set for
Thursday at the Community Complex at 7 p.m.

Creston
may join
KIJHL

Ed Mills {
SPORTS EDITOR

The Kootenay International Ju-

nior Hockey League is considering
adding a franchise in Creston for
1992-93 season, The Castlegar
News has learned.
_ ‘Though currently in the prelim-
inary planning stages, there was
significant discussion about a Cre-
ston franchise at the KLJHL's reg-
ular monthly meeting in Creston
last week.

“We are in the planning process
and we have been talking to some
people over there, and there is a
pretty good interest,” said KIJHL
President Bronco Horvath.

Horvath said the league doesn’t
want to make too big a deal of ex-
pansion before more is known
about its likelihood.

“When we left that meeting last
Wednesday we said we wanted to
keep this kind of private and con-
fidential until we do get something
positive. Rather than running

_around and saying a bunch of sto-
ries and have the thing fall
through,” Horvath said.

Both Castlegar Rebels Presi-

Braves General Manager Bob To-

edly in favor of a Creston fran-

Tobiason said Spokane would
benefit tremendously, because if
Creston did join the league it
would play in the East Division
along with Kimberley, Columbia
Valley and Elk Valley.

Spokane, which won the East
Division last year, would move in-
to the West Division, which in-
cludes Castlegar, Nelson, Beaver
Valley and Grand Forks. ;

“That would cut our travel un-
believably,” Tobiason said. “All the
teams up there (in the West Divi-
sion) are close, while we're travel-
ling all this extra distance.”

Travel costs were uppermost on.
Rilcof’s agenda as well.

“The more teams there are the
less travelling we are going to have
to do to play a variety of teams.
That would be wonderful,” he said.
