Trail Ti_m~s - Friday, October 22, 1982 - 7 REATION PAGE wil ,..,. lary The Rossland Warriors are now 0-5 in the won-lost column. While the team's performance is lacking something, willingness is sWl a big factor. Fans are coming out to the games and enjoying them as much or more than they have in the last few years. The first four home games, one of which was an exhibition·match, have seen good Rossland play for two periods. It has been in the third period in all the league games at least that the opposition's experience has shown to advantage. In last Friday's game the some really fine stops, when it was all over the Warriors had been outshot 62-21 over the route. The game on Friday was well handled by a top-line crew of officials, Dave Murray - chief referee for both the KIJHL and the WIHL, was ref and his linesmen were Skip Ferguson and Jim Schuck. The way they are handling the fighting this year is a breath of fresh air in a very smoky scene. I'm quite impressed. Someone said it was the same last year, if it was, it wasn't enforced near as well as it is now. Warriors went into the dressing room after two periods ahead 6-4 and came back out to see Beaver Valley change its style to a forechecking game which saw goals by Mike Barzal, Lou Parent and Scott Makway put the Nite Hawks ahead to stay. Makway added another in the late going of the period to shut off a possible Rossland rally. Along with their forechecking the Nite Hawks got off 25 shots on Bert Brooker in the Warrior net and the tiny nebninder from Moose Jaw came up with Fanny Albo stopped me the other day to report that the Rossland Ladies' Club is going to hold Open House on Oct. 26-28. It will be in the afternoon at 2 p.m. and the main men's club is on the same day in the evening. They both would welcome anyone wishing to learn the game. Starting from day one, the ladies' club has been particularly hard hit by a number of different factors over the past couple ot II"" years. The once proud club is just a shadow of its former size and its clout has greaUy diminished. Mind you, a real good recruiting drive couldn't help but add desperately needed blood. The Retiree's Club of Rossland is getting a real shot in the arm from their participation, along with the golf club, in keeping the Rossland course open. While it is expected this will not continue for much longer, it has been a real boon to the club and has seen quite a number of our curlers dig in and help out in a situation with which, some of them are not at all familiar. A note from Winston Baines has presented some info regarding the perfonnance of some of the Rossland kids who are members of the Trail-Warfield Stingrays. Winston is quite happy with the way a number of the Rossland kids are doing and righUy so since a couple of the top performers on the club are his own kids, Pamela and Gordon.
