Stories differ on what exactly the thing is between the Rebels and the Western Hockey League’s Portland Winter Hawks with Rebels management saying some sort. of Player development deal has been worked out and a Winter Hawks spokesman saying no way. Whatever it is, the ‘‘thing’’ has Produced two players, both late cuts from the Winter Hawks, who joined the Rebels this week. And what players they are. One, Dave Conimock, a six-foot- one, 210-pound defenceman was the very last player cut from the Winter Juniors looking good By ED MILLS Staff Writer How’s that for a change? Or what a difference a year makes. Take your pick of responses to the news that the Castlegar Rebels Junior B hockey team went undefeated this Preseason in the Kootenay Inter- national Junior Hockey League. It was only four games — and Preseason games at that — but as the Rebels get set for the 1990-91 cam- Ppaign, the new winning attitude management and coach Ed Cooper have talked about for some time now is apparently showing on the ice. Whether the success will continue in the regular season is a question that will be answered this weekend as the Rebels start out the season with a tough three-game set. Last night, the Rebels were in Grand Forks to take on the Border Bruins — results weren't available at Press time. Tonight they host the Beaver Valley Nite Hawks at the Community Complex and on Sunday they’re off to Spokane for a 2 p.m. game. If four preseason games is any in- dication the Rebels, who led to make the playoffs last year with a record of 14-25-1, are a new and im- proved edition. Last Friday, the team beat the Bor- der Bruins 13-4 at the Complex and then only a last minute goal allowed the Border Bruins to tie it 5-5 in the ‘Fematch Saturday. The Rebels handily beat the Trail Smokies in its other two games. Personally, Cooper prefers the “‘What a difference a year makes" response. “*For myself, last year it was like just walking into camp not knowing a soul. This year, I know all the guys who returned. It’s a lot easier to fill in six or seven spots than 20. “*We’re a lot more organized right Now and we seem to get better every day,’’ he said Friday. Cooper said the player ‘personnel is there to take the team as far as it wan- ts to go this season. “*I'm really happy, we have a lot-of guys that have been here a few years, guys who have come back from last year and a good crop of 16- and 17- year-olds — players of the future.”” Cooper said there'll be no easy rides for the Rebels this season because all the other teams have Probably improved some too. He said he'll get an indication of where the team stands in the league after, this weekend. “This is a big three-game weekend for us. Hey, we're in shape, so maybe we'll get the jump on the other team’s if they aren't. It'll be a good test for the team."” NOTES: The Rebels have another major Junior A arrival in goaltender Dean Scully, 17, who was a late cut from the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL. He joins Rebels veteran Rick Edwards. Neno Da Costa, who would be en- tering his first year of midget this season, has made the team. Hawks and is considered one of the team’s prime prospects. The other, Chad Alderson is another legitimate major Junior A Prospect. Rebels president Russ Rilcof said Thursday that Rebels coach Ed Cooper was the principal instigator of the deal along with Winter Hawks general manager Brian Shaw. Cooper played for Shaw on the Winter Hawks in his junior hockey days. Rilcof said the Winter Hawks would like to get the players some ‘additional ‘seasoning’? in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, which is getting to be known as a highly competitive league. Rilcof said more players could be on the way. The Hawks vehemently deny there is any agreement to supply players to the Rebels. “The only association between the Castlegar Rebels and the Portland Winter Hawks is that Ed Cooper used to play here. We know Ed and we trust his abilities as a coach, so we sent him a couple of players,” said Winter Hawks assistant general manager and director of player per- sonnel Bob Tory. “We don’t enter any hockey agreement with any Tier 2 or Junior B clubs at all,’’ Tory said Thursday from the Winter Hawks office in Por- tland “The boys needed a place to play and we asked Ed if he had a spot for them, that’s all.’” Cooper agrees there’s no formal agreement between the two teams. “All we did was talk to Brian (Shaw) and he said he had a couple of 16, 17-year-old players who needed a good year of conditioning and asked if' 1 would take them on,’’ Cooper said Friday. ‘‘We’re not affiliated or anything and there’s no big deals or setups or anything at all.’” Asked if more players will be coming to the Rebels via Portland, Tory said anything could happen. “I have no idea if it will happen again. We basically have our team set now. Certainly there is a possibility that we may send more players to Castlegar but there’s a possibility we may not. You know, these things can change daily.”’ But Tory made it clear that the players sent here already aren’t simply Winter Hawks castoffs — the team wants them back next year, especially Commock. “*He was our last cut this year, so as a 16-year-old we would expect that he would make our club next year, all things being equal,”’ he said. Agreement or not, Rilcof said the new players are tremendous additions and put the team ahead of where it was last year at this time. **We've wanted all along about five or six key players and it looks like it’s coming about. This is a hell of a way to begin our development pian.’’ jernoon. their College. Nelson. You can't be shy in Storm the Wall, where the object is for teams of six to complete a relay race and then scale the 12-foot ball in the fastest time possible. Selkirk Coll on the second annual event on school grounds Thu ry CasNews photorby Ed Mulls No names win storm the wall By CasNews Staff The youngsters couldn’t defend title as Storm champions Thursday at Selkirk The Stanley Humphries secon- dary school team, which won the event last time, wasn’t even close this time around and couldn’t even beat a team of upstarts from L.V. Rogers high school in The overall conquerers of the wall were a team calling them- selves No Name Generic Band, who attacked the running, biking and canoeing course and then scaled the wall, all in a time of 33 minutes, four seconds. The record time of 32:42, set last year, was not approached as about 120 people competed in the second annual event — about the same number as last year. @ put Brett Wade, Keith Gibb, Gary Pavan, Dave Caldwell, Aret Johnson and Chris McGrath, all Selkirk students, made up the winning team. Dr. Melnechuk’s Carpet Disciples came second in a time of 33:10 while the college staff team, made up of physical education staff, came third in a time of 33:44. The staff team of Rob Johnson, Laura Adams, Sally Willis, Larry Wasilenkoff, Andy Lefurgey and Bert Port was the fastest mixed team. Poul Henrickson won the iron- man category by default — he was the only one entered in the singles event — coming in with a time of 39:51. About 12 feet high and two feet wide, the Wall was built by the college’s phys-ed staff last year for the event. the Wall Seattle team coming back By ED MILLS Staff Writer The Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds - will be migrating north, back to Castlegar, next season. After two years of holding its training camp in Seattle, the Junior A team said Thursday it will hold its camp here next year. Thunderbirds director of player personnel Jake Goertzen said it’s just less of a hassle for everyone involved to returh the camp to Canada. The Thunderbirds held. their camp in Castlegar from 1982 to 1988. Considering most of the team’s players come from north of the bor- der — all but one on the current edition are Canadians — it just makes sense to hold the camp here, said Goertzen from the T! ird’s of- deal Wednesday with Goertzen, said it’s great economically for the city and the Community Complex. But, he said it’s too bad-the Thun- derbirds didn’t decide to return last year when Castlegar hockey fans could have had a goodlook at Peter Nedved, who starred for Seattle and has since moved on to the Vancouver Canucks. Still, Metge said he’s excited about the team’s return. “We're probably one of very few communities that get to host a major junior camp and that's exciting,”’ he said. Goertzen said there won't be any lack of talent at the camp next year. One Thunderbirds player Castlegar fans will get to see, Brent Billodeau, fice in Seattle. “It’s difficult to get everybody down here when you have players coming in from as far away as Wi nipeg and Saskatoon, . ‘was more convenient for players and Parents when we were doing it in Castlegar and that’s why we're coming back. “Besides, they always treated us nice in Castlegar and it’s a nice place to come back to."” The camp, which will run from Aug. 24 to Sept. 2 will bring more than 60 management personnel, players and staff to Castlegar as well as an untold numberof parents. Castlegar perks and recreation director Pat Metge, who set up the could Eric Lindros for the number one NHL draft pick next season, he said. Other players include Montreal Canadiens first-round pick Turner Stevenson, and Al Kinisky and Brad Zavisha who were third-round picks by the Philadelphia Flyers and Quebec Nordiques respectively. Just because the camp will be held here doesn’t mean local players will have an inside track on getting an in- vitation, said He said the team has to have at least three scouting reports on a player before he is invited to the camp and walk-ons are rarely allowed. “That's not to say there isn’t going to be some (Castlegar players), but there won't be 20 of them.’” Cocaine costs Fuhr one year EDMONTON (CP) — Grant Fuhr’s cocaine use will cost him one year in the NHL, league president John Ziegler said Thursday as he condemned the Edmonton Oilers goalie for ‘‘dishonorable’’ conduct. But Fuhr will continue to draw an Oilers salary, practice with the team and he may seek league re-instatement in January. In announcing the suspension, Ziegler said he considered the fact Fuhr has not used cocaine or any illegal drug for a year and called the case "most sad."” “For approximately six to seven years prior to August of 1989, Ed- NHL preview, page B2 Bears, Raiders-clash in NFL's Sunday slate Featuring identical styles, philosophies and records, the Los Angeles Raiders meet the Chicago Bears in a key NFL game Sunday. “There are some similarities,"” Chicago coach Mike Ditka said. ‘“‘They’re an outstanding team, they really are. They'll be the best team we've seen, by far. Their defence has played very, very well.”” So have the Bears. In fact, the matchup at the Oakland Coliseum pits the 1-2 defences in the NFL this season. The Raiders have allowed 25 points in their three games, best in the league. Their opponents have averaged only 249.3 yards in total offence. The Bears have given up 29 points, second-best in the NFL. Their opponents have averaged 229 yards a game. On offence, the Raiders have averaged 30 running plays for 113.0 yards and 18.3 passes for 167.3 yards. The Bears have averaged 40 running plays for 177.3 yards and 20.3 passes for 135.7 yards. Each team has committed three turnovers. The defence-first philosophies have stood each team in good stead this season. They both have 3-0 records as two of the NFL's five unbeaten teams. “(Ditka) has changed the attitude of their team,” Raiders coach Art Shell said. ‘‘They’re doing whatever they have to do to win. “Whatever it takes to win, he'll try to do it. We have the same philosophy.” The last time the teams met — on Dec. 27, 1987 — the Bears won 6-3 at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Sunday’s game also figures to be another low-scoring affair. In other NFL games Sunday, it’s Denver at Buffalo, Dallas at the New York Giants, Green Bay at Detroit, In- at ia, Miami at Pi Tampa Bay at Minnesota, Cleveland at Kansas City, Houston at San Diego, the New York Jets at New England, and Washington at Phoenix. Cincinnati plays at Seattle in the Monday night game. Four teams have an open date this weekend — Atlan- ta, Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans and San Francisco. Dan Marino, the Miami quarterback, returns to play in his native Pittsburgh for only the third time since he spent eight years throwing footballs there. Marino, a monton Oilers player Grant Fuhr used cocaine, an illegal drug,” Ziegler said in a prepared statement. “It went on in spite of a clear league policy that if you use illegal drugs you will be suspended. Mr. Fuhr’s actions were intentional and were in defiance of this policy. He must suffer the consequences.”” The NHL decision allows the Oilers to appeal Jan. 15 for Fubr’s re instatement to the league. If the suspension is commuted, Fuhr could be re-activated on Feb. 18 “‘We certainly don’t agree with the decision handed down, we think it’s much too harsh," said Oilers general manager Glen Sather. Oilers centre Craig MacTavish said the suspension imposed Thursday is “unacceptable”’ and he warned it will encourage other players with Problems to hide instead of seeking help. “*It’s too bad that if anybody has a Problem he can’t seek help,’’ Mac- Tavish said Thursday night after an exhibition game against the visiting Winnipeg Jets. “Grant didn’t do anything illegal. He wasn't charged with anything. He just admitted using drugs, he’s only guilty of having a problem,” Mac- Tavish said. “‘When you see a player who has offered evidence against himself, former high school. and Uni ity of Pi star, Spent many Sundays at Three Rivers Stadium, watching the Steelers of the 1970s win Super- Bowl after Super Bowl.

The NBA, NFL and major-league baseball are more lenient towards fir- Fuhr could not be reached Thur- sday for comment. But Sather said the goalie was “‘devastated”’ by the suspension. ‘‘He had spent a long time trying to get himself straightened out. I told him to remain positive and take care of the future.’” NHL has short record Drug-related suspensions han- ded down by the NHL: Sept. 27, 1999 — Edmonton Oilers goalie Grant.
