, ». 82 Castlegar News December 21, 1986 SPORTS Jarvis se HARTFORD, CONN. (AP) — There was some concern Doug Jarvis wouldn't be able to play against the St. Louis Blues on Jan. 8, 1985. The night before, he suffered a concussion in a collision with Randy Ladouceur of the Detroit Red Wings. In a sport where toughness is usually measured in penalty minutes, stitches and missing teeth, Jarvis tested his mettle by leaving the hospital in Detroit that morning and making it to St. Louis for his 762nd successive game. On Tuesday night, Hartford's veteran centre can tie Garry Unger’s National Hockey League record of 914 straight regular-season games when the Whalers play host to the Boston Bruins. Unger missed four playoff games in 1979 with the Montreal Canadiens due to a knee injury. against the Montreal Canadians, for whom he once played and helped win four Stanley Cups. “Te been fortunate that the games have added up over the course of time,” Jarvis said. “The closest I came to having it end was that game in 1985 against Detroit “But the doctors who examined me said there was no reason I couldn't play the next night.” Jarvis, 31-year-old native of Brantford, Ont., said he hadn't thought about the streak until it started getting attention recently. Numbers have never been an important part of his on-ice contribution. He never scored 50 points in any of the dozen seasons he has played for the Canadiens, Washington Capitals and Whalers. Only once did he score 20 goals, and his career penalty-minutes total reads like an average season for some t to break Unger's record “Doug’s durable and wiry, a lot like Unger was,” said Instead, Jarvis became one of the game's outstanding centre, sh best off threats and winning faceoffs. He won the Frank Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward in 1984. Jarvis's teammates say it was no coincidence the inexperienced team reached the playoffs last season for the first time in six years after Jarvis arrived from the Capitals in a December 1985 trade for Jorgen Petersson. “It's an honor to play on a line with Doug Jarvis,” linemate Dave Tippett said. “Anyone with that much experience who has played on teams which have won the Stanley Cup, you can't help but learn from. That's his biggest asset.” “Unger's streak was stopped seven years ago Sunday when Atlanta Flames coach Al MacNeil benched him to rest Ironically, Jarvis can break the record here next Friday WORLD CUP SKIING of hockey’s rougher types. Walliser wins slalom VALZOLDANA, ITALY (CP) — Maria Walliser of Switzerland won the second giant slalom race of her World Cup career Saturday on her “lucky” track. But there was no such luck @ for Josee:Lacasse of Bros sard, Que., Lacasse, Canada’s top hope in the race, hit a gate during her final run and suffered a painful shoulder injury. Walliser, who won in a combined time of two min. utes, 33.30 seconds, led a charge of four Swiss in the top five. She also regained the lead in the women's overall standings, with 110 points. It was the 11th World Cup career triumph for Walliser, a downhill specialist who had won a super-giant slalom in VaF'd'lsere last Sunday. Spanish racer Blanca Fer- nandez Ochoa spoiled a Swiss seep, placing second in 2:33.67, ahead of Michela Figini, Vreni Schneider and Brigitte Oertli. Schneider dropped to second in the standings, with 106 points. “I attacked throughout the second run, taking several risks,” Walliser said. “This track is really lucky for me.” The Swiss star won her first giant slalom ever on the same track last year Lacasse, who was a strong third at the last giant slalom, appeared to catch her right arm on a gate midway down the final run, wrenching her shoulder. “It just partially came out and went back in, not out totally, where it required some manipulation to put it back ii said Canadian team trainer Carl Petersen.

Wednesday, however, The Wednesday morning phone call sounded like a normal one from an Edmontonian questioning the spirit and support of Calgarians when it comes to sporting After all, Edmonton and Calgary have long engaged in a friendly but sometimes serious rivalry over their the call wasn't from an who One call isn't reason enough for concern. But his questions shed a new light on the Preview "88 events being held this winter and the plans of the Calgary OCO'88, to t Olympie Organizing C 1988 Winter Games. tournament. holding world class competitions in the years after the Doesn't Calgary care about winter sports? That, basically, was what the man wanted to know. He had all the statistics about the low crowd turnouts for the first couple of events and the poor ticket sales for forthcoming events, including the Calgary Cup international hockey Ticket sales for the Calgary Cup are at an embarrassing level. Only 2,610 have been sold for the Canada-Soviet Union game New Year's Eve. Only about 1,400 people paid to watch the ski jumping and cross-country skiing at last weekend's Nordie combined World Cup competition, competitions that attracted some off the biggest names in their sports. When Rob Boyd, winner of the World Cup downhill last weekend, and the rest of the Canadian men's ski team arrived in Calgary Monday evening they were greeted by one teenager; no representative from the Olympic committee, not even mascots Hidy and Howdy. One person, plus the media. The missing spirit was partly the reason that Mayor Ralph Klein pushed for the internal review that led to the appointment of Frank King as chief executive officer and headed OCO’88 in a new direction. “The problem was with communication, human relations, putting a human face on the Games,” Klein said. And getting Calgarians to feel a part of the Games movement. IMAGE AT STAKE King is aware of the concern over the pre-Olympie events. But he says the problem is party that Albertans are too restrained “and it’s up to us to start to break that down.” King still talks in terms of 50,000 people at Olympic events and he’s probably safe in doing so because Olympics generally sell themselves. But perhaps Calgarians should be concerned about their pre- and post-Olympic image. Calgary now has some of the finest wintersports facilities in the world and plans call for those facilities to be used every winter for World Cup and other international events. But if you're European and used to seeing huge crowds for World Cup events, would you award future events to a city that apparently doesn't care about those s? That's the problem facing whoever ends up running the Olympic facilities. Pro equipment theft like James Bond thriller VALZOLDANA. ITALY (AP) — The theft of skis is routine at most resorts, but on the professional ski cir cuit, such crimes sometimes take on the aura of a James Bond spy affair. Skis belonging to several leading World Cup athletes have been stolen during races this season and last, prompting speculation about possible cases of “industrial espionage.” On the circuit, rumors are swirling that rival manufac turers may be seeking to steal ‘winning secrets” from two leading ski makers who have been recent targets — the French company Rossig. nol, and Atomic. Ski officials and athletes are very hesitant, however, to go on the record in specu lating about the motives of the ski thieves. “I had my skies stolen on my way back from the United States, but maybe it was the work of a souvenirs hunter,” Michela Figini, the Swiss downhill superstar, said after a giant slalom race Saturday Figini's downhill skis were made by Rossignol Teammate Vreni Schnei der, whose Atomic skis were stolen after a successful sla lom race in Courmayeur earlier this week, added, “I believe that all materials for slaloms are alike.” Cranbrook wins playoff The Frankie Reekie rink from Cranbrook managed to win the B.C.

Other teams who took part in the two days of compe tition were the Faye Fran nson rink of Creston and the Lorna Smith rink of Fernie “There were no secrets to steal in my skis.” Livio Migliorini, trainer of the Italian team, conceded that downhill skis “could be interesting fir rival makers as bottoms are made with special materials to mark them faster.” But Migliorini added that Formula One race, fans stole skis for giant and slalom the steering wheel of Ric events “have nothing special” cardo Patrese’s Brabham, CLUB MEETS . . .
