TRADE FLURRY BEATS DEADLINE
Flames swap for Tonelli

By The Canadian Press
It’s been 1 years since Calgary hockey fans have had
reason to cheer for John Tonelli. They can root for him the
rest of this season — the veteran left winger now is wearing

red, white and gold.

Tonelli, in the midst of his eighth season with New York

Flames, even though he is in just his second full pro season.
In 63 games, he has 12 goals and 29 points. Kromm's father,
Bobby, coached Winnipeg Jets when they were a WHA

team.

Waters defends

Islanders, was traded Tuesday to the Flames in exchange for
left winger Richard Kromm and defenceman Steve Konroyd,
just beating the National Hockey League's noon trade
deadline.

Detroit Red Wings started the trade flurry Monday
when they realigned their defence by sending Reed Larson
to Boston Bruins for defencemen Mike O'Connell and Greg
Smith, and John Barrett to Washington Capitals for
defenceman DarrenVeiteh.

Then late Monday night, the Red Wings sent right
winger Ron Duguay to Pittsburgh Penguins for right winger
Doug Shedden, and centre Dwight Foster to the Bruins for
minor-league left winger Dave Donnelly.

After Tonelli went to the Flames on Tuesday,
goaltender Glenn (Chico) Resch was traded by New Jersey
Devils to Philadelphia Flyers for a third-round draft pick;
New York Rangers sent defenceman Mike McEwen to
Hartford Whalers for right winger Bobby Crawford; the
Devils shipped veteran defenceman Phil Russell to Buffalo
Sabres for future trade considerations; the Rangers sent left
winger Nick Fotiu to Calgary for future considerations, and
the Islanders moved defenceman Stefan Persson to
Winnipeg Jets for a future draft choice.

STRENGTHEN LEFT SIDE

Tonelli was Team Canada’s most valuable player in the
1984 Canada Cup tournament, with three goals and six
assists, including a key assist on the winning goal of a 3-2
overtime triumph over the Soviet Union in the semifinal
game in Calgary.

He was sought by the Flames to strengthen the club's
left side. Calgary clinched second place in the Smythe
Division last weekend.

Tonelli, 28, played three years in the now-defunct World
Hockey Association with Houston Aeros before joining the
Islanders in 1978 as a 21-year-old.

In seven previous seasons with the Islanders, he scored
186 goals and added 297 assists, including his first 100-point

a steady defenceman for the Flames, second only to Al
Innis in the plus-mi kings, with a plus-20 on seven

P of Fotiu is jonal on the
player passing a physical. The nine-year NHL veteran tore
knee ligaments Nov. 8 while playing for the Rangers’ New
Haven farm club in the American Hockey League.

Resch goes to the Flyers for « third-round pick in this
summer's amateur draft. He had played in 31 games this
season for the Devils, recording 10 wins, 20 losses and no
ties and a 4.23 goals-against average.

Russell, 33, in his 14th NHL season, has played just 29
games this season for New Jersey, scoring two goals and
adding three assists. The three-time all star also has 51
penalty minutes and is the fifth-most penalized player in
NHL history, with 2,014 minutes.

‘The Devils also recalled two players from their farm
team, Maine Mariners of the AHL. Goalie Sam St. Laurent
was recalled from Maine to replace Resch and defenceman
Murray Brumwell to replace Russell.

BACKS UP FROESE

The Flyers said Resch will act as backup to starter Bob
Froese, reassigning rookie Darren Jensen to Hershey Bears
of the AHL.

McEwen, 29, began the season with Detroit and was
traded Dec. 23 to the Rangers for Steve Richmond. In 45
games with the Red Wings and Rangers, McEwen has two
goals, 15 assists and 24 penalty minutes. Crawford, 27, has
14 goals and 20 assists.

In a 10-year NHL career with the Rangers, Colorado
(now New Jersey), the Islanders, Los Angeles Kings,
Washington and Detroit, McEwen has 97 goals, 283 assists
and 412 penalty minutes.

Toronto Maple Leafs said they have sent Miroslav
Ihnacak to St. Catharines Saints of the AHL in December,
had two goals and four assists during limited appearances in
21 games.

Cobras
take tourney

Kinnaird Junior Secondary
School Cobras won the Bea:
ver Valley Invitational bas-
ketball tournament, beating
East Kootenay powerhouse
Laurie of Cranbrook in the
championship game.

The Cobras’ victory left no
doubt as to their number one
ranking in the Kootenays.

For the second time this
season, the Cobras dispat-
ched Laurie in the tourna-
ment final and the team's
point guard, Lise-Anne Abra-
hamse was named tourna-
ment Most Valuable Player.

‘The Cobras had previously
defeated Salmo Falconettes,

coming from behind in the
final four minutes to record a
42-39 victory. Their next op-
ponent, Beaver Valley, prov
ed worthy competitors and
narrowly missed upsetting
the Castlegar team. The final
score was 36-35 for the Co

as.

The KJSS team chalked up
an impressive season with 24
wins and two losses. Both
losses were as a result of last
second baskets in earlier
tournament play at the hands
of Penticton High Lakettes.

Named to the tournament
all-star team were Brandy
Howard (first team) and Le-
anne Bentley (second team).

“The girls have been very
successful against all West
Kootenay teams this season,
but we've had some internal
problems that may or may
not affect the girls’ perfor-
mance in the tournament,” he
said.

“The girls must come pre-
pared to play a solid full
game against either Beaver
Valley or Trafalgar. If they
are looking too much ahead
to the final they might find
themselves watching it from
the stands.”

“In past years the Rock-
ettes have been successful
because of their tough man-
to-man defense. It may not be
pretty to the spectators but
it's been our bread and
butter.

If the girls are successfal
on the weekend it will be be-
cause of their team effort at
the defensive end of the
