Eric Klaussen of Tahoe City, Calif. claimed the top prize money By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer If the Castlegar Rebels’ latest performance on the ice is any indication of how they will do in the playoffs, their chances are good at winning the West Division title in the Kootenay International Hockey League. The Rebels have won their last three games — two'of them against Kimberley and one against Spokane Flames, which is first in the West Division. The Rebels could very well extend that winning streak when they play their final regular season games this weekend against Nelson Jr. Maple Leafs and Grand Forks Border Bruins. The Nelson game will be a preview of the Rebels’ first round of playoffs, which begin early next week with the Rebels having the home ice advantage. In other playoff performances, Spokane Flames will meet against fourth-place Rossland, while second-place Beaver Valley plays Grand Forks, fifth in the division. Inthe East Division, first-place Columbia Valley will play last-place Creston Clippers and Cranbrook Colts will play Kimberley Knights. ‘The league has approximately 32 days to chose a representative to the provincials championships, which begin March 17. After the first round of playoffs, which will be a best of five series, the winners of the three series in the West will advance into a round robin home-and-home series with the top two teams advancing into a final series to Rebels aiming for West Division title Lamun Wal WE Have W UU agaist WEL ANU. 4 line.” Not only have the Rebels beaten the Flames in Castlegar, but also on the road in Spokane.

Rebels defeat Knights By CasNews Staff Castlegar Rebels got goals from five different players as they defeated Kimberley Knights 5-1 Saturday night in one of their final Kootenay International Junior. Hockey League games of the season. The win gave the Rebels a 44-point total for third place virtually guaranteeing them a playoff series against sixth place Nelson Jr. Maple Leafs. In other KIJHL action this weekend, Columbia Valley edged Kimberley 4-3 on Sun day while, Spokane Flames beat Trail Jr. Smokies 6-2. On Saturday, Beaver Val. ley defeated Grand Forks 7-1, the Flames beat Rossland 7-5 and Nelson trimmed Creston 8-6. Friday night saw Beaver Valley triple Creston 9-8, Grand Forks beat Nelson 8-2, Rossland defeat Trai] 8-5, Cranbrook edge Columbia Valley 9-8, and the Rebels beat Spokane Flames 8-6. On Wednesday, Rossland defeated Grand Forks 62 while on Tuesday, Nelson topped Trail 8-5 and Kim berley dumped Creston 5-3. In the Rebels’ win against Kimberley, Dan Taylor scored unassisted, and Dave Terhune scored, assisted by Lyle Stoushnow, to take a 2-0 lead after the first period. Kimberley opened the scoring in the second period on a goal at 14:26. The Rebels replied with two to make the score 4-1. Dave Perehudoff scored a power play goal, assisted by Mike Corbett ‘and Terhune, while Pepehudoff and Ter. hune set up a goal by Rob Tamelin. By The Canadian Press After scoring his 500th goal in Brendan Bryne Arena in the New Jetsey Meadow lands a few weeks ago, Guy Lafleur reached another plateur in the same building Tuesday night, tying Jean Beliveau as Montreal Cana diens’ career points leader. In a 5-2 Montreal victory over the Devils, Lafleur scored his 508th goal to move past Beliveau into second place..behind Mauriée Rich- ard (544) in all-time Cana diens goal scoring. He also earned two assists for a career total of 1,219 points tying Beliveau. “It makes me happy to tie Jean Beliveau and get three points all in the same night,” said Lafleur. “But I don’t complicate things for myself by continually thinking about beating these records. “There are two things I'd like to accomplish before I retire. I'd like to score 545 goals and win another Stan ley Cup with the Canadiens. “That's my source of moti vation right now.” Other NHL results Tues day: New York Islanders 5, Edmonton Oilers 3; Vancou ver Canucks 4, Quebec Nor- diques 2; Calgary Flames 2, St. Louis Blues 1; and Hart. ford Whalers 4, Detroit Red Wings 1. In East Rutherford, N.J., the Canadiens also got goals from Craig Ludwig, Ryan Walter, Mats Naslund and Bob Gainey. Centre Bobby Smith drew three assists as Montreal won for the first time in four games. Walter, Naslund and Gain ey all scored before New Jersey replied with a Mel Bridgman power-play. goal at 11:26 of the second period. Ludwig restored the three- goal lead 90 seconds later. Mike Antonovich pulled the Devils within 4-2 early in the third period before La- fleur, with his 22nd of the season, closed out the scor ing. New Jersey suffered its sixth straight home defeat and has won only one of its last 13 home games. ISLANDERS 5 OILERS 3 The win was the 10th in a row, including a four-game sweep in the Stanley Cup final last spring, for New York over Edmonton. Denis Potvin, Clark Gillies and Butch Goring put the Is landers up 3-0 in the first period but the Oilers forced a FINAL LEAGUE GAMES point leader 3-3 tie with a second-period goal by Dave Hunter and goals by Charlie Huddy and Rick Chartraw early in the third period. John Tonelli scored the winner at 10:24 and Potvin added an empty-net goal at 19:50 for insurance. FLAMES 2 BLUES 1 Richard Kromm pulled goaltender Mike Liut out of position and slipped his fifth goal of thé season into thé St. Louis net with 2:18 remain- ing to lift Calgary to the road win. Calgary's Jim Peplinski had opened scoring 2:47 into the second and Brian Sutter tied it 14 seconds later. St. Louis held a 36-24 shots advantage but Calgary goal tender Rejean Lemelin was superb, again, extending his unbeaten streak to 15 games (9-0-6). WHALERS 4 WINGS 1 In Hartford, Conn., De- troit’s Dwight Foster scored a short-handed goal after only 1:46, but the Whalers got consecutive goals from Sylvain Turgeon — the 28th of the season for the rookie, Greg Malone, Mark Johnson and Ron Francis for their win straight win. Rebels aim at records With the Kootenay Inter- national Junior Hockey League playoff pairings all set, Castlegar Rebels are ready to take aim at séverat club records in their last two league games. This year's club, with 238 goals in 88 games, has a clear shot at being the highest- scoring Rebel team in their short eight-year lifespan. The record to date was the 248 goals scored by the 1976-77 team. The Rebels travel to Nel- son on Friday for a game which should provide a pre- view of the first round play offs. The same two teams are slated to meet in the first round of post-season play. The locals then return home to finish regular play with Grand Forks Bruins supplying the opposition. If the Rebels don’t score 11 or more goals in Nelson, they should be shooting for that club record at home on Saturday. With a 15-goal game ear- lier in the year against Nel- son, the Rebels missed by one goal matching the club record of 16 goals set in 1977-78. However, that is a record that will probably have to wait for another year. Dave Perehudoff's pursuit of the club scoring record of 95 points seems to have been frustrated by injuries. He needs 16 points in his last two games to match Tom Con- natty's record set in the Reb- el inaugural year, 1976-77. At the other end of the ice, Steven Voykin has the one certain club record for the year, two shutouts in regular season play, the first time that more than one has been recorded in regular season play. Dan McDonald, in 1980-81 had a shutout in the playoffs to go along with one in reg: ular season play. Hi Arrow Arms trounces Trans-X By CasNews Staff Hi Arrow Arms Hi Arrow 14-7, on Sunday while K, Trans-X Old Timers 11-4 Monday night in Castlegar Gentlemen's Hockey League action.

In games this week, Bill's Heavy Duty plays Hi Arrow at 9:30 p.m, tohight in the old 8:15 p.m. Friday night see Bill's play playing Trans-X at 9:30 p.m. in the old arena while at the same time in the arena com- plex, Kalesnikoff challenges In the East Division, the two winners of the semi-final series will meet in a final match-up to determine who will meet the West Division winner for the league title. Rebels general manager Ron Rebelato said he doesn't think Nelson will be hard to beat in the first round of playoffs, since the Rebels have beaten them in every encounter this season. At the same time he notes: “You can never take anybody lightly,” adding the Leafs had some players absent from the lineup earlier this season who have since returned. As well, Rebelato added that although the Leafs are a fast-skating team, they lack “scoring punch.” On the other hand, Nelson coach Mike Laughton has played the game professionally for a number of years. “You can't take any team lightly,” Rebelato stressed. “They could come up as underdogs.” Rebelate also préditted the Rebels-Maple Leafs series would be rough, which he said will be exciting to watch. If predictions go as expected, the Rebels will face Spokane and Beaver Valley in the round robin. “I kind of think we're got a good chance to take it (the playoffs),” Rebelato said. “We can give Spokane their worst time of any in the league. We are most capable to beat them. We have their they will play either Columbia Valley or Cranbrook Colts, who are presently tops in the league's East Division. But the Rebels have not won against either team this season. Rebelato wouldn't single out any specific player the coaching staff is counting on to lead the team in the playoffs. “They've all been pulling together of late and making it a team effort,” he said. However, Rebelato he did say that Dave Terhune has been coming on strong recently. Terhune spent most of the season concentrating on school work and only recently decided to rejoin the team. Rebelato said Terhune is one of the premier skaters with a lot of scoring power — netting four-goal and five-goal games. Terhune is also flexible, being able to play back or forward. Rebelato said all lines are playing well. Against Spokane, coaches will be looking to Rob Tamlin in stopping Charlie Goodwin on the No. 1 Spokane line. Rebelato said Tamelin was the key reason the Rebels won their last game against the Flames. “If we can come up with big goaltending, we're going to be tough to. beat,” he said. The Rebels will be looking to netminders Steve Voykin and Dave Kinakin. Olympics officially open SARAJEVO (CP) — Yugoslavian figure skater Sandra Dubraveic, who has never finished better than 11th at the world level, commanded the attention of the world today as the 14th Olympic Winter Games were officially opened. The 19-year-old carried the Olympic flame into Kosevo Stadium, in front of an estimated 50,000 people and a world-wide television audience, to officially open the first Winter Olympics held in a Communist country. The 93-member Canadian delegation was led into the stadium by flagbearer Gaetan Boucher of St-Hubert, Que., a speed skater who collected a silver medal at the 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid, N.Y. The Soviet Union flagb: was hockey Vladislav Tretiak, appearing in what is expected to be the final Olympics of his illustrious career. Dubravcic will be part of the Yugoslav team, one of a record 49 competing in these Games, which were preceded by a controversy over amateur status that resulted in the disqualification of five hockey players, two of them members of the Canadian team. WINNING START Olympic competition actually began Tuesday with six hockey games, including a 4-2 vietory for Canada over the defending Olympic-champion United States. In some ways the victory served as retribution for Team Canada, two of whose players were tossed out of the Olympics for profes- sionalism after protests from the U.S. Olympic Committee and Finland. By the time the opening ceremonies \got under way today a snowsquall had passed through Sarajevo, blanketing the area with a welcome layer of white. The storm left about two centimetres of wet, heavy snow on the ground, then passed to allow the sun to shine through brightly. However, the storm was more intense in the higher mountain areas where about 10 centimetres of snow fell, forcing cancellation of training for the women’s downhill. The men, meanwhile, got in the final training run for their downhill Thursday. The sessions was held up 90 minutes while Yugoslavian soldiers and vob the course. Anton Steiner clinched a spot on the Austrian team by turning in the fastest time, one minute 49.16 seconds, at the Bjelasnica course. His victory eliminated world downhill champion Harti Weirather fron the Austrian team. ~ BROOKER FIFTH Tood Brooker of Paris, Ont., was the top Canadian, placing fifth in 1:60.30. Steve Podborski of Toronto continued to run well back in the pack, finishing 11th in 1:60.81. Gary Athans of Kelowna was 23rd in 1:52.36. In the women’s training session Tuesday, Swiss teenager Michela Figini turned in the fastest time, 1:10.86. Gerry Sorensen of Kimberley tied for second with Caroline Attia of France in 1:11.67. ‘ Diana Haight of Fruitvale, was 12th. Karen Stemmile of Kettleby, Ont., 15th, and Laurie Graham of Inglewood, Ont., 18th. In ski jumping practice, Horst Bulau of Ottawa tied East German Jens Weissflog for longest jump off the 70-metre ramp — 85 metres — in the second session. David Brown of Thunder Bay, Ont., had the best jump in the first session — 89 metres. As the hockey controversy finally moved from the political arena to the ice, two of Team Canada’s stars were players questioned but not expelled from the Olympics — goaltender Mario Gosselin and forward Dan Wood. The two men disqualified were Mark Morrison and Don Dietrich, both of whom had played for National Hockey League teams. Other hockey players disqualified were goaltender Jim Corsi and Rick Bragnalo of Italy, and Greg Holst of Austria. The three are Canadians of European descent, holding dual citizenship. The hockey competition is split into two groups, A and B. The United States and Canada are part of Group B. In other Group B games, Czechoslovakia defeated Norway 10-4 and Finland defeated Austria 4-3. In Group A, the Soviets defeated Poland 12-1, Sweden downed Italy 11-3 and West Germany beat Yugoslavia 8-1. At the end of the round-robin competition, the two teams with the best records in each group advance to the medal round. A tie goes to the team with the greatest average margin of victory. Oldtimers second in tournament By CasNews Staff An oldtimers hockey team from Castlegar placed second at the Nelson Snofest Old- timers Hockey tournament held over the weekend.
