Somebody should pinch the
Castlegar Rebels. They've been
riding so high on their winning
streak, which is now at 24 games,
the players might have forgotten
what reality actually is.

Their two weekend games both
ended severely one-sided, 8-3
against Beaver Valley on Friday

and 10-5 against the Spokane
Braves Saturday. Although in
both games Coach Garry Sauer
says his team did not play that
well. :

“We are due for a loss, eventu-
ally the bubble will burst,” Coach
Garry Sauer said following Satur-
day's win over Spokane

site. The sticks, fists, elbows and
gloves flew in more directions
than the puck.

Even the Spokane Coach,
George Talotti was ejected from
the game after he tried to get at
one of the Castlegar Rebel play-
ers with a hockey stick.

“It was unfortunate, Spokane
plays like that a lot...I guess they
got some of their own medicine.
Sauer said commenting of the
fight-filled third period of Satur-
day's game. “We not only won
the game, we also came out on
top in toughnes:

Our forechecking was nonexis-
tent...this was a bad game for
us,” Sauer said.

“In the last two games (Friday
and Saturday) we took a lot of
lumber...Sometimes you have to
stand up for your team.”

On the way to.the 10-5 win,
Corey Figdell scored three
goals, Mike Hunter netted two
and two assists. Mike Mhyra,
Gary Hunter, Derek Lalonde and
Chris Babakaiff each scored
one. Jesse Oldham and Mark
Graff cach earned three assists
during the game.

In Beaver Vatiey the night
before Sauer said the was game
similar, “a rough, tough hockey
game.

The penalty minutes during the
Beaver Valley game were among
the highest of the season for the
Castlegar Rebels. The home chub,
Beaver Valley, was handed 125
and the Rebels were given 87
minutes.

The Rebels need to stay out of
the perialty box in order to remain
successful. “Our discipline has to
stay on top of our garnc.”

On the score-board for. Castle-
gar, Craig Swanson and Jesse
Oldham each netted two goals on
the way tothe win.

The Rebels have secured home
ice advantage for the play-offs
with their current position on top

{ of the KIJHL standings with 62

points and a record of 31-4. Nel-
son is the closest in the West
Division standings with 44
points. The race is on in the
Rebels division to see who will
take the last two play-off spots.
Beaver Valley is in better shape
with 35 points followed by the
Rossland Warriors with 28.

“It doesn’t matter to the Rebels
who we meet,” Sauer said com-
menting on the race which is to
see who will land one of the last
play-off spots.

Rebels

The Rebels have only four
regular season games remaining,
not counting last .night’s match
against Nelson, before the start
of the “new season” according
to Sauer.

“We will have a tough series
no matter who we meet in the
play-offs.”

was ejected from the game. Sticks from the Spokane bench were used hitting various
