Jr. Rock Castlegar Rebels game against Spokane Flames, missed a good one, according to Rebels general manager Ron Rebelato. : The game, in spite of the fact that the Rebls lost 8-1 to Spokane, was “the best one of the year,” although he said the Rebels should have won. In other KIJHL action this weekend, on Friday night, Roosland edged Grand Forks 8-7, Spokane defeated Trail 7-2, Cranbrook beat Kimberley 8-6 and Creston outscored Elk Valley “8-6. On Saturday night, Grand Forks nipped Trail 6-5 in overtime, Cranbrook beat Creston 7-5, Columbia Valley doubled Kimberley 6-3, Rossland dumped Nelson 10-4, while Beaver Valley defeated Elk Valley 9-5. In the only Sunday game, Columbia Valley overpowered Beaver Valley 9-6. Rebel. iid two factors to the team’s loss. One was the strength of Flames goalie Sam Frobe, who Rebelato said was especially strong in the first period. “It was the goalie for sure that kept them (Spokane) in the game,” he said. Frobe stopped 18 shots from the Rebels, Castlegar goalie Dave Kinakin faced 87 shots. The other factor? “It's quite simple,” says Rebelato. “They have one good line” — Charlie Goodwin, Daniel Holden and Paul Brown, who are all in the KIJHL’s West Division top 10 in scoring. The line. is “deadly” according to Rebelato. And Spokane’s defencemen are strong as well. “The defencemen get the puck up to these three and away they go.” Rebelato said his team keyed on the line “pretty good” but made a couple of mistakes that perhaps they shouldn't SHSS to host The senior basketball The girl's side of the tour- teams at Stanley Humphries nament should be even more will be hosting’ their annual closely. matched.

Prior to that they have a home game Thursday night against Nelson at 8 p.m. in the arena complex. Rebelato is hoping for a large crowd at Thursday's home game. Saturday night's game drew an above-average attendance of about 500, but Rebelato said he was very disappointed. He was hoping for at least 800. He said he feels the executive is partly to blame for not promoting the games enough. “Tm pretty perturbed about it,” (the attendance) he “The coaches have done their job. We have an excellent team. I don’t know if we're going to see another team like this for a number of years. You can tell from minor hockey what kind of a team you're going to have the following year.” As well, he said that some players who may still be eligible next year, may be playing for Tier II teams next year. He said the team has an excellent potential, but it has to have support from the fans.

The Humph - Juniors open season By CasNews Siaii Stanley Humphries Junior Rockettes are gearing up for another exciting basketball season. After three practices, the Jr. Rockettes opened their exhibition season at home Tuesday night with a 67-2 win over Grand Forks Wolverines. Leigh Halisheff and Kim Tarasoff led the scoring with 14 points each. The Rockettes also have trips to Trafalgar school in Nelson and to.Rossland planned before their regular - season begins in Janaury. The team is co-coached by Doug Pilatzke and Mike Balahura for the seeond year in a row. Pilatzke, an English teacher at Stanley Humphries, is entering his ninth year of coaching the Jr. Rockettes. a learning nee it is seeing his second year of co-coaching with Pilatzke. The coaches are starting out with only three veterans this year — the rest are rookies. But Pilatzke remarks that the rest of the players are new only in the sense that they are new to the. school. “All have been to basketball camp for threo summers — a couple for four years,” he said. Veteran Rochelle Morandirii is expected to be the leader this year, but not in terms of most, points. Morandini plays point guard, Pilatzke explains. She distributes the ball to other players. He notes “The forwards are going to be catching lots of good passes from her this year. Coach Balahura notes that this year the Rockettes team is comprised of a “nice dedicated bunch of girls... who are out to learn a fair amount of basketball.” The players this year are average height, with no real tall players, Pilatzke says. But he notes that this year the team has speed. = “There are a couple of leadfoots — the rest can really go.” The teams to beat this year will be Trafalgar, which “By the end of the year they got things sorted out and really started rolling.” The following is a look at this year's team: Rochelle Morandini — Grade 10 guard. Rochelle is returning for her second year with the team. She will direct the offense from her point-guard position and lead the fast break out of the defensive end. a Kelly Findlay — Grade 10 forward. Kelly was the u Rockers.

Another returning player who will be hoping to crack the starting line-up. Lube is a good shooter and plays the fast breaking game well but it will be her defence that earns her a starting spot.. Tina Baker — Grade nine guard. Tina has attended summer camp for three years and is ready for her first taste of junior basketball. Look for Tina’s sharp passes and outside shot. For a guard, she gets more than her share of rebounds. Leigh Halisheff — Grade nine guard/forward. Leigh's fine offensive skills indicate that she will score. well and often. With a year's experience at the junior level, and improved defence, Leigh will be a fine all-round player. Helaine Oleski — Grade nine guard. Helaine is returning after being out of basketball for a year. She will provide floor leadership from the point position and will fit nicely into the team’s running game. Karen Popoff — Grade nine forward. After she getsa few games experience Karen should be one of the major offensive contributors on the team. She shoots well from both inside and away from the hoop. Kim Terasoff — Grade nine guard. Along with Rochelle, Kim will be one of the team's ball-hawks, when has a number of r ing players, ents Pilatzke. J.L.

Brooker the Stanley Humphries gym this weekend. records - fastest time VAL D'ISERE, FRANCE (CP) — Todd Brooker of Paris, Ont., had the fastest time in training today as racers prepared for the sec- ond downhill of the men’s World Cup ski season Friday. Brooker, winner of two World Cup downhills last season, had a time of two minutes 8,84 seconds on the second of two timed runs Wednesday. On the first run, his. time was not recorded because timers said he left the starting gate early. “Maybe I did jump the gun, but I think my time would have been about the same as for the second run,” Booker said. “I had planned to change my line a little bit in the compression, but the, light was so flat that I could hardly see any of the terrain changes, “It was difficult enough just to make it down the mountain. The course hans't changed much since yester- day (Tuesday when he was fourth fastest) and I don't think it will, The small changes are only because they are icing some place to preserve what little snow there is,” Brooker came within one gate of winning here last January. With victory in sight, he caught an edge and landed face first in the snow beside the last gate. “I've got to make up for last year,” Brooker said. “I stopped thinking with 50 me- tres to go and got in trouble. “I thought I had already won, Brooker was not the only Canadian with a good time today. Chris Kent of Calgary, was fifth. in 2:07.38 and Paul Boivin of Montreal sixth in 2:07.60 on the first run. It was won by Urs Rae- ber of Switzerland in 2:05.61.

The Rockers participated in the eight-team Okana-Qen Tournament. A record of two wins and one loss in the two day event earned the team third place in the final standings. Stanley Humphries could do no wrong in the first 80 minutes of their Friday game against Fulton Secondary School from Vernon. An ex- plosive fast break and some excellent shooting gave the Rockers a 57-85 lead at the three quarter mark. A combination of some de- termined, aggressive play by the Maroons and numerous errors by the Rockers almost resulted in a fourth quarter disaster, according to coach Kevin Morris. After being outscored 18-3 during one stretch of play, Stanley Humpries regained its composure and hung on to win 68-62. Leigh Lalonde paced the Rockers with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Lincoln Paul notched 17 points with some fine individual moves. Wayne Postnikoff and Cam Lefurgey forced many Fulton errors and repeatedly set up team- mates on the fast break. The win over Fulton sent Stanley Humphries into the 1 side of the Steve Pod! i of Toron- to was 20th in 2:08.43 and 18th in 2:06.38. He was third Sunday in a race at Schlad- ming after recording the fastest training time. This week he promised to ease off a bit in the pre-race trials, “My time is not that far off,” he said. “There was fog at the top and there was some question as to whether we'd go.” draw. In their first of two Satur- day games the opposition were the Summerland Rock- ets. Put together two teams with similar personnel and style of play and you have the making of a close, hard- fought game. Summerland led 31-27 at half-time and extended that to an eight-point difference. With Postnikoff and Lefur- gey setting up Paul and La- londe for key hoops the Rockers fought back to with- in one point at three-quarter time. Stanley Humphries took the lead, 68-57, with two minutes remaining but fell victim to two freethrows, losing 59-68. Morris was very pleased with the teams effort. “Everyone displayed an ability to stay calm and play effectively in a very intense situation,” he said. “I was particularly happy with some of the less exper- jenced players and their ex- cellent job of spelling off the starters.” Lalonde and Paul led the Rockers’ attack with 22 and 21 points respectively. Paul and Dave Dawson handled the rebounding duties. Stanley Humphries finish. ed the tournament with a scrambly 66-61 victory over the Brocklehurst Broncos from Kamloops. Lefurgey, Dawson and Postnikoff got themselves untracked in the scoring department and con- tributed 13, eight and seven points. Lalonde concluded an out- standing weekend of offen- sive play with 19 points. The Rockers were selected by tournament officials as the Most Sportsmanlike Team. Lefurgey earned All Star Team honors and Lalonde was given an Honorable Mention. The Rockers now look for- ward to the Blue and Gold Tournament this weekend.
