It was originally ‘believed 76 per. cent support was needed, but reports say one of the con- cessions made to Ralston- Purina years ago when’ it - agreed to bail out the NHL and buy the Blues was that a lesser percentage would be required for approval of any sale and transfer. Ralston-Purina’ officials said they would contact the: NHL today. ‘and ask for a meeting of, the governors within two weeks.” 3 BUILD ARENA : Hunter told a breakfast news conference attended by more than 500 invited guests ‘that the total package is close to $65 million, including $44 million for construction of an 18,000-seat arena on the out- skirts of the city. “Our group is excited and delighted to announce . the purchase of the St. Louis “Blues,” Hunter told the con- ference at the Saskatoon Coliseum attended by.

Odds too high for WINNIPEG (CP) -- Barry Shenkarow, a member of the National Hockey: League's board of governors for ‘Win- nipeg Jets, said Tuesday he doesn't believe the governors will approve the transfer of 8t. Louis Blues to Saskatoon. Entrepreneur Bill Hunter, who has been leading nego- tidtions for months to buy the Blues from’ Ralston-Purina Co., hoped to have the deal finalized by today. ; # But Shenkérow said the odds are stacked against Huntey's group. The Jets’ governer said the NHL must it approve of the group as owners in terms of its fi- nancial stability. “The finance committee of the National Hockey League would ‘closely examine the people involved to make sure they're of. good character, buyer of Blues good standing, that they would pay the bills of the team,” he said. “If the group is accepted and it wants to move the Blues to Saskatoon, he said the league would then have to examine the city’s ability -to support a franchise. Saskatoon, with a popu- lation of about 154,000, would be the smallest city to be granted an NHL franchise following the league's first’ ‘expansion in 1967, Shenkarow also said the Saskatoon group would have to pay a transfer fee to move the Blues, adding the matter is so complex that it’s un- likely the deal would be ap- proved. Hunter is president of Col- iseum Holdings Ltd. of Sas- katoon, the group attempting to purchase the Blues. TENNIS SEASON... Spring « means tennis, c Postnikoff shows while warming up at the Ca Castlegar club. hires new coach By DEANNE PICCO ' A new face is coming to Castlegar for the summer swimming season. He is Vin- cent Mikuska recently hired as the head coach for the Castlegar Aquanauts Swim Club. Mikuska, a native of Winnipeg, Manitoba is 26 years old, single and well- qualified as a swimming coach. He has attended the Uni- versity of Winnipeg and the‘ # University of Alberta major- ang in art history. Mikuska is - doing well in his profession as he has‘had a one man art Ba show and participated in two group shows in 1982, He has salso received a inajor award nitoba. 2 Of course this isn't the “reason he is ‘coaching the Castlegar Aquanauts this . ‘season. He has also had “ample coaching experience as assistant coach and then head ‘coach of the EKY Stingrays in Winnipeg, head coach for ‘the Vernon’ Kokanee Swim Club, assistant head coach at the South Side Swim Club in Edmonton and assistant head coach at-the Dolphin Swim Club in Winnipeg. The teams he has coached have done well. He has had National qualifiers at the Division one and two levels and medalists at Division one level. He has coached pro- vincial champions in Mani- toba and Alberta. In 1977 he “coached the Vernon Kokan- ‘as Stanley Humphries student Wayne oes to a 10th place finish at stlegar Tennis Club courts, he B. C. Summer Age Group Playoff hockey resumes By The Canadian Presa In their previous four Bat- tle of New York playoff meetings, the home-ice ad- vantage has meant little to the Rangers and Islanders. This year, it's different. From - 1975-82, the sub- urban Islanders have won’ three. National Hotkey League playoff series against their big-city rivals, with the © Rangers ‘winning only in 1979. In those four meetings, the visiting team has won 12 games. : The best-of-seven Patrick Divsiion final series this - year, tied 2-2 with the home ~ team winning all four games, moves back to the Islanders’ Nassau Coliseum for the fifth game tonight. The Islanders are hoping to get back on track toward their fourth consecutive Stanley Cup. “At this time of year, it's not really where you play,” Rangers coach Herb Brooks said. “The home ice can be overrated. “It's just a matter of Ox ecuting your game,” ‘he added. “We've got to find a way to steal one over there.” The other three NHL div- ision final series also resumes tonight. Calgary Flames, trailing 3-1, are at Edmonton. Ollere, Chicago Black Hawks, lead- ing .3-1, play’ host. to Mis nesota North Stars and Buf- falo Sabres are at Boston 7 against the Bruins with the series tied 2-2. The Rangers, supported by. a sell-out crowd of 17,392 at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, evened their series with a 8-1 “victory. While Brooks and Islanders . coach Al Arbour played down . the home-ice angle, many of the players said it’s had an effect. “It isn't supposed to make that much difference,” Ran- gers captain Barry Beck said. “But for us it certainly has.” Islanders captain Denis Potvin said: “Our being at | home will be an advantage. “For them, it will be a major victory if they beat us in our building.” The Islanders, who will be at home for the seventh game if the series goes that far, stand to benefit from a con- tinuation of the home-ice pattern. The Rangers not only have to win at least one game at Nassau Coliseum, but the opposition also would have the home-ice advantage if the Rangers progress fur- ther in the playoffs. t - Calgary, facing elimination against Edmonton, beat the Oilers 6-5, on Monday night, but faces an uphill battle. “They showed us a lot of heart and character for com- ing back,” said Oilers centre Wayne Gretzky, who had ‘four goals and three. assists * for an NHL si Bi lay- ch their highest finish until that time. Mikuska’s’ goals for the jummer swim club here in Castlegar are to improve the overall abilities of all club members by encouraging in- dividual development through a solid work ethic. © He will encourage individual. achievement through team- work which will improve the club as 4 team. His attention will be divided as equally as possible to all members of the club. Extra attention and work will be based on an indi- viduals desire and hard work not just on talented or po- tential regional winners. Most importantly, he will at- tempt to provide a positive, experience for all the swim mers involved. Rob McGau- ley and Ray Yule will be the assistant coaches. . The Castlegar Aquanauts Swim Club are members of the B. 3.0, Summer Swim Asso- ‘efatioti whieh consists of over © 4,000 swimmers in more than 58. clubs based in eight re- gions. The club has‘ member- ship; in the B.C. Summer Swimming Association which- gives access to officials and coaches clinics, an insurance policy for swimmers and high calibre competition. The club was founded in 1961 as the Kinnaird Aqua- naut Speed Swim Club and has grown in strength and size to over 180. swimmers last year. Basically, the swim club Program is designed to de- velop the swimmer in com- petency in the four basic strokes, self-discipline and team spirit. Even for those swimmers who choose not to enter into the competitive side, of swimming, the pro- gram is still invaluable as it develops a well rounded strong swimmer.
