Rebels of the past and present battle

JOHN VAN PUTTEN.

Experience was matched up
outhful enthusiasm at the

their talents up against the Ex-
Rebel alumni team.

In a come-from-behind battle
the Ex-Rebels fought back from a
5-1 deficit. When the final buzzer
sounded the game was tied at six.

with Derek LaLonde's unassisted
goal 14 seconds in the extra period.

Suiting up for the Rebels
Alumni were some familiar
names: Gary Sauer and Gord
Walker, Rebels coaches; Bob
Larsh; Dave Terhune; Clay Mar-
tini and Kelly Keriaff just to
name a few of the players.

Part of the Rebels regular sea-
son line-up was out of town for
the Ki * ;
Hi
so in order to dress a full squad
the Rebels called on some faces
not usually seen in a Rebels uni-
form this season. David Green,
Jarrod Beck, Jeff Beck, Derek

Kazakoff, Rick Fauth and Roger
Carlson were a few of the players
who suited up in addition to some
of the Rebels regulars.

A fast paced, clean style of
hockey kept the fans on the edge
of their seats throughout the game.

Only seven penalties were
called throughout the game, three
to the Rebels and the other four
called on the senior Rebels. Five
of the penalties were called dur-
ing the first period. From there on
the game was wide open, with
end to end action.

The Castlegar Rebels opened
the scoring with Jarrod Beck's
goal 2:11 into the game. Wasting

no time Derek Kazakoff popped
one past Ex-Rebels goalkeeper
Kyle Isberg 22 seconds later.

At the end of the first period the
Rebels headed into the dressing
room with a two goal lead. They
came back onto the ice with plans
to extend their lead. The modified
regular Rebels squad extended
their lead to three when Roger
Carlson's shot slid past

After that goal the Ex-Rebels
wasted no time, Wayne Salekin
was successful in netting their first
of the game three seconds later.

With the three goal lead cut
down by one, the Rebels scored
the next two goals to extend their

lead to 5-1. David Green netted
his first of the game while Beck
got his second goal of the night.

The Ex-Rebels cut the lead by
one scoring what would be the
last goal of the period. Clay Mar-
tini put it past Rebels netminder
Vaughn Welychko at the 17:52
mark of the period.

The teams exchanged is to
start the third. Walter Sheloff

All this end to end action had
the fans white knuckling it on the
edge of their seats.

The Rebels took the lead when
David Green scored his second of
the game at 15:19 into the third.

It was a type of poetic justice
when Rebels Co-coach Gary
Sauer scored assisted by Gord
Walker, the other coach of the
Rebels. The game was all tied up
at seven. Neither team could pop
the winner in during the remain-
ing 2 1/2 minutes of the game.

It only took 14 seconds of the
overtime period for the games
winner to be decided. Derek
LaLonde’s unassisted goal gave
the Rebels the victory and the
rights to gloat that they beat the
experi veterans.

Change in format can give curling a new twist

Linda Moore

STERLING NEWS SERVICE

Dit you Sé€ the recent Skins
curling game on TSN? Been
reading this column and hearing
about the free guard zone rule?
Think that only the competitive
curlers Can try these different
curling formats? Not so! Any
curling club can vary the rules of
play, for either league games or
bonspiels, and provide a lot of
fun for everyone.

The Skins format rewards

teams for every end that they
win. To win an end, a team
must either take 2 or more
points with last rock, or steal a
point without last rock. Blank-
ing an end means losing the
“hammer” or last rock advan-
tage. On the TSN Skins game,
large cash prizes (up to $3,000
per end) were the incentive for
the top teams to go for points
each end, making for some
very exciting play. In a club
bonspiel, teams can be drawn
from a hat, and small cash

Prizes (such as $25 per end)
can be ‘paid to each team imme-
diately after the game. The
team with the most cash at the
end of 8 or 10 ends of play
continues on in the event
(points are not keep), while the
losing team drops to another
event. The fun comes from
mixing up players; trying new
Strategy, and having a lot of
rocks in play every end

The free guard zone rule,
where leads cannot remove
opponents guards from play, can

be fun and is great practice for
the “draw” style of play. Both
this rule and the Skins rules
encourage a lot of the play to be
in the centre of the ice, as the
first rock is often placed short of
the house on centre line, and
both teams try to draw around it
to get to the button first! The
tules make a skip really think, as
positioning the lead's and sec-
ond’s stones is crucial, with the
third and skip often using these
early stones to play raises or
come arounds.

Other modifications to the
traditional rules can also mean fun
for club players. Try rotating

players each end; or counting
rocks farthest from the button; or
throwing blind-folded (very diffi-
cult!). Just sit down and think of
something unique to try at your
club.

And if your bonspiel wants
to add real excitement to their
weekend event, there is some-
thing new on the curling scene.
“Spiels for Wheels”

the button) for cars.
on a'team basis, and if all four ©
team members draw to the but-
ton during a special part of the
speil (not during a game), they
all win cars! A few spiels have
tried it, but so far no cars have
been won. Your club could be
the first!

Curling is a sport that was

the insurance used in the ever-
popular hole-in-one promotions
in golf. Any bonspiel (with a
maximum of 32 teams) can pay
a premium (usually $300) to the
Calgary Insurance Company, and
Set up a “shoot-out” (or draw to

to keep it fresh and fun, clubs
have to be creative with all

League, Castlegar Pressure Wash faced off against Woodland Park Shell. The teams
skated to a 6-6 deadlock, at the Castlegar Community Complex.

Womens hockey moves closer

STERLING NEWS SERVICE

An effort to organize a
woman's hockey team in Kim-
berley isn’t receiving the enthu-
Siastic response that was
expected, but organizers aren't
giving up hope.

“We needed about 15 - 20
women to show up regularly in
order to have two teams, but we
were only getting about 10 regu-
lars, and that wasn’t enough to
have a good game,” said Car-
olyn Elsdon, one of the organiz-
ers.

Although the ice time booked
for the women’s hotkey was ini-
tially at the Civic Centre on Sun-
day nights from 5 to 6 p.m.,
Elsdon said the time they ended
up having to take was Sundays
from 9:15 to 10 p.m.

She said as it turned out,
many of the women who were
coming out preferred that
time.

Although the initial turnout
wasn't as enthusiastic as ini-
tially hoped, organizers are
going to make a renewed
effort in the new year to draw
women out

“We're not talking serious
competitive hockey here, we
just want to have fun and get
some exercise,” said Elsdon,
who finds she gets a better
workout playing hockey than
she does during a session of
aerobics.

If there are women thinking
about coming out for the team,

Elsdon Said they don’t have 'fo"*

worry if they're not experi-
enced skaters or players. She
said, although there are some
excellent skaters coming out,
the majority are average skaters
who have never held a hockey
stick in their life and some
have never even been on skates
before

Although the objective in
forming the women's team was
to provide an opportunity where
women could bypass some of
the rough and competitive gen-
erally found in most men's
league, co-ed is an option orga-
nizers may look at in the weeks
coming up.

“I think there probably are
some men out there who are
interested in the same kind of
hockey that we are, and so we
might look at co-ed as an alter-

One step closer to curling title
