For complete statistics, see Mid-Week Wrap-Up, page B2. Meanwhile, Rebels manager Brian Fietz notes, “The (Rebels) are starting to play well together.” He says the team is starting to peak at the right time, just as it heads into the playoffs. Playoffs begin Feb. 11 and if the team can hold onto first place it will be a “big thing,” Fietz said, adding that the Rebels will have the home ice advantage. If the Rebels can finish first in regular season play, they will play the fourth-place team, either Nelson Jr. By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Rebels defeat Flames By GARY HYSON The largest crowd of the season for a Kootenay “International Junior Hockey League game at the Castle- gar Community Complex watched Castlegar Rebels douse Spokane Flames 10-2 Saturday night. Rebels’ Ken Hoodicoff set the stage early and Spokane goalie Brad Rickle knew he would have a busy night. Darcy Martini of the Rebels started the parade to the penalty box at the 38-second mark as he was banished for elbowing. Fred Pozdnekoff rushed end to end and snapped a good shot away while short-hand, and although he did not score, he showed the Flames that he and his penalty. killing teammates were going to be tough. Rebels’ notched their first goal of the game at 3:31 when Ken Valentine slid in a 20-footer from Kelly Hurd and Dan Taylor. Seconds later Walt Wasilenkoff, on a breakaway, tested Rickle with a shot from the right circle and in the ensuing scramble in front of the net, hard-working Hoodicoff potted the Rebels second goal. Time of the goal was 3:37 with Hurd and Wasilenkoff grabbing the assists. Flames were picking up a delayed penalty just before the goal which was nullified by the score. Rebels’ first power play opportunity came at 6:34 with Flames’ Barry Watson picking up a tripping penalty. Martini got away some good hard point shots on this power play and when both defenseman had pinched in the Flames got a break with a two on one and forced Rebel goalie Dave Kinakin to make a big save. Rod Horcoff put the Rebels up by three at 9:54 when he combined with Dave Perehudoff. The team’s play up to this point in the game had been almost flawless with the Flames being pressured by every line that coach Ralph Tassone threw out. At 11:53 Reese Eyre headed for the bin to join Perehudoff, giving the Flames a two-man advantate for about 1% minutes. The pesky Rebels controlled play even two men short and the Flames could not get organized. Flames finally got on the board at 15:32when a lost face-off allowed a Flames’ defenseman to fire a high looper at Kinakin. He appeared to lose concentration on the shot and after grabbing the puck in his trapper, it slipped up and over into the goal. After the game Kinakin said “Ya, I lost concentration Maple Leafs or Rossland Warriors. Meanwhile Fietz says Saturday's night home game against Trail will be the Rebels’ “biggest game of the year” as they fight for first place. A win will open up the Rebels lead to three points, while a loss will put them into second spot. The Rebels have won only once in four games with Trail this season. Their three losses were at the Cominco Arena in Trail and their only win has been at home. “When they (the Rebels) go there (to Trail), they can’t win in that rink,” Fietz said. “The kids get mezmorized by the rink. They can't do anything there. “That's why it's so important to have first because we're sure to come up against Trail (in the playoffs),” he said. ‘The team is also hoping for an increase in attendance at its home games. Fietz said the average attendance has been 300, but the team is hoping for more. The Rebels have an 18-3 win-loss record at home and have won their last 10 straight games. “If the fans can't come out for that, I don't know what you have to do to get them out,” Fietz said. Meanwhile in other KIJHL news, Spokane Flames’ first-year coach Barry Kilburn has been let go by the Flames’ organization and a replacement is to be named within the next couple of days. The decision was made Sunday night after the Flames’ loss to Nelson. The Flames finished first in the KIJHL West Division last season with 68 points and a 34-6 win-loss record. The Flames are currently below the .500 mark with a 17-18 record. The Flames won five of their first seven games last fall, but since then have dropped 16 of 28 games. Elsewhere, Nelson Junior Maple Leaf player Tony Maida has been handed a three-game suspension for incurring a match penalty for spitting during a game Sunday afternoon in Spokane. because the crowd was back and the cheering got to me.” “It's just like the old days, having a big crowd, I love it!” Second period action was just as the first with the Rebels firing shot after shot and frustrating the Flames to no end. Ken Valentine grabbed the spotlight again when he notched the locals’ fourth goal at 9:17 of the second. Keith Klimchuk garnered the assist. Both teams ran into penalty trouble for much of the second period. Coach Tassone wisely used Martini on the point for power plays as his hard low slapshots were always on the net. Even if he did not score, at least the opportunities were there with the rebounds. At 17:30 of the second Eye, standing in the slot banged in the fifth counter for the Rebels with Tamelin and Martini drawing the helpers. Persistance was the norm for this goal as Rickle was down and out and the good second and third efforts by Eyre showed when he dented the twine. A great three-way passing play with Pozdekoff and Tamelin doing the work, allowed Taylor to bank in a rebound for the Rebels’ sixth goal. With 2% minutes gone in the third period, Perehudoff first timed one into an open net. Rod Horcoff and Dave Terhune on a good effort behind the net, got it out in front and faked Flames goalie over, then passed to Perehudoff who jammed it in Penalty problems by both teams allowed a wide open skating game to develop for the first half of the third, but scoring was minimal. Hoodicoff notched another Rebel marker at 9:26 when he wristed a shot in. Terhune and Valentine assisted on the play. At 10:50 and on a power play, Flames’ Barry Watson Ffrom Paul (Scooter) Brown picked up the Flames’ second goal. A good deflected show and Kinakin had no chance. With 5:46 left in the game, Taylor passed out to Hurd and he first timed it right in. Rebéls’ Pozdnekoff at 14:51 on a power play, put the Rebels into double figures notching the 10th goal. Eyre got the assist. Spokane's inability to stay out of the sin bin with minor penalties did not help their cause for this game but they did manage to get some good scoring opportunities. My picks for the Rebel club for this game were: Dan Taylor, first pick; Dave Kinakin, and Rob Talelin, second and third respectively.

Husqvarna WOOL_WAGON CASTLEAIRD By CasNews Staff Selkirk Saints women's volleyball team participated in a Totem Conference tour- nament at Kelowna’s Okan agan College on the weekend, coming away with two wins and three losses. Saints coach Ray La Moigne said the team played “quite well” considering the fact that middle blocker cap- tain Corrine MeGougan was missing from the line-up, leaving only six players to play in the tournament. LaMoigne said he was pleased with the perfor mance he got from the six members. He said the team was able to adjust “quite well” to the fact that McGougan was missing — just enough to be pleased, he said. LaMoigne said as the scores indicated, “we were right there.” In its first match, the Saints lost to Capilano Col lege of Vancouver. The Saints lost 15-12, they won 158 while losing the third game 17-15. Against Douglas College, Selkirk College lost 15-13, won 15-13 and lost the final game 15-11. The Saints then played B.C. Institute of Technology and lost the first game 128, won 15-13 and lost 16-14. The team then picked up two wins against Fraser Valley and Malaspina col leges. Against Fraser Valley the Saints won 15-5, lost 15-10 and won 156. Against Malaspina, the Nanaimo team won the first game 15-7, then the Saints won the last two games 15-3 and 155. The two wins gives the Saints fourth place in the eight-team Totem Confer. ence. The four teams in re gular season play will qualify for the playoffs. There are still two qualifying tourna ments remaining. The Saints were to host an exhibition tournament at the college this weekend, but the tournament has been can celled. LaMoigne noted that coas- tal teams have so much com petition available in the Lower Mainland that they don't need to travel to the Interior to get “good com petition.” On Feb. 8 and 9, the Saints will travel to Calgary.
