The Castlegar Sentinel minor baseball league is preparing for the start of another season this month. The league is focusing on participation and hopes to attract | oungeters and youths from around the area to play ball. CosNews photo by Brendan Nogle Baseball starts soon By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer Hockey season is just finishing up, but before the skate blades are dry the kids are dusting off their mitts and bats in time for the beginning of the minor league baseball season. The Castlegar Sentinel Minor Baseball League is preparing for another summer of strikes and home runs and is looking for more players and parents than ever this season. League president Bob Maloff said a steady decrease in the number of kids playing baseball in the area and in the number of parents who stay at the park to watch the kids is a concern for him and he's hoping to improve the numbers this season. “We're (the league) working on a baseball program,” Maloff said earlier this week. “We want to give the kids more than just the feeling of playing baseball for two months and quitting.” “We only had 10 players on that team,” Maloff said. The team that beat the local pony squad in the provincials went on to win the Western Canadian championship. The Castlegar Sentinel Minor Baseball League has four separate divisions for players aged six through 15 years of age. Six- to eight-year-olds play in the Tadpole League, which will field five or six teams this season, Maloff said. The Mosquito League is for nine- and 10-year-olds and Maloff hopes to have five teams in that division. Eleven and 12-year-olds play in the Bronco division and Maloff said there have only been three teams in the area for the last two seasons. “We're hoping for four or five teams this season,” he said. The Bronco Division plays an interlocking schedule with Nelson. The Pony League consists of players aged 13-15 and Maloff hopes Castlegar will field two teams this season. Maloff said he hopes parents will stick around to There was only one team last year. watch their kids play instead of just dropping them off. “Kids like to be watched,” he said. “We're also not babysitters.” The Pony team(s) will play an interlocking 20-game schedule in the Babe Ruth league. Teams from Trail, Grand Forks, Fruitvale and Northport will all play Maloff said the league is stressing participation this against the Castlegar contingent. year. Registration forms for all divisions are available at “We're really looking for some people to donate some the Community Complex. The deadline is April 6. Fees time and coach a team,” he said are $25 for Tadpole; $30 for Mosquito and $35 for Bronco Last year, the Castlegar pony squad — players 13-15 and Pony years old — placed second in the President's Tournament and took second in the provincials in Prince George as well. The season is tentatively scheduled to begin April 18. Games will be played at Kinsmen field, Kinnaird Park, Inland field and Kinnaird elementary. TIDE LAUNDRY NT EACH 9° RG 12 litre. HIGH SPIRIT Carry-Out Foods SUPER BUY! UKRAINIAN SAUSAGE RINGS 44 2.44 Days! A New Savings Event At Win Montreal will win it all It's time to dust off the old crystal orb and find out who's going to win it all this year as the NHL regular season winds down today with nine games. The playoffs begin Wednes- day. Before stating the obvious it will be necessary to go through all the preliminary garbage in order to paint a better NHL playoff picture. First, the Campbell conference. The Snorris (Norris) division opening round promises to be a real snoozer as the Detroit Red Wings will easily handle the Maple Laughs or the North Stars depending on which club wins the battle of the inept for the division's final playoff berth. The St. Louis-Chicago series will prove to be a more interesting affair with Blues getting the nod in six games on the team’s scoring strength and superior goaltending The division final between De. troit and St. Louis should be close but without Steve Yzerman to lead the attack in the playoffs the Wings can and will lose in seven games. Look for Ronning and Gilmour to do the damage and expect at least two overtime decisions. The Smythe division picture is an interesting one with the almighty Calgary Flames basking in all their glory on top of the heap. Too bad the division only has three teams that know what the word hockey means . .. and I'm even beginning to wonder about Winnipeg. While the Kings won the last two regular season games against the Flames, the regular season is not the playoff season and I expect the Flames to make amends in four straight. Ditto for Edmonton. The Oilers will easily handle the Jets although I figure that series will go five games because Dale Hawerchuk will seore an overtime goal in game three in Winnipeg. The Smythe division final prom- Always next year VANCOUVER (CP) — Brian Burke admits he's still wet behind the ears. His first year as a hockey administrator with the Vancouver Canucks was a sobering and humbling experience, as it has been for first-year general manager Pat Quinn and coach Bob McCammon. Burke admits the Norman Vincent Peale approach to building a winning hockey team didn’t work, and it will take much longer than Burke, the team's 32-year-old director of hockey operations, Quinn and McCammon imagined last September. Believing a positive attitude — and not much else — suddenly could make for dramatic improvement, was wrong, Burke says. “That was naive of me, and I take full responsibility for that,” he says. “I said we were going to come in and change the world. But you don't change the world. You've got to change the horses first.” The Canucks ended their season with a 61 win over Minnesota on Friday night at Pacific Coliseum to finish with 59 points in 80 games for the third time in four seasons. The record of 25-46-9 was identical to the one that got both Bill LaForge and then Harry Neale fired as coach in the 1984-85 season. That will be McCammon's fate, too, if there is not marked improve ment next season. The heat will be on Quinn and Bike to ice a better lineup next season, and on McCammon to get more out of his players. FAILS TEST “If it’s not a lot better next year, I won't be standing here talking to you about the team,” McCammon admits. “When I came here, I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't realize it would be as tough as it was,” McCammon says. “I knew there was a little problem, but I didn’t realize the depth was as low as it was. We just have to improve the calibre of the players. “One thing we've got to do is get bigger. We don't have anybody who can bang heads with (Joel) Otto or (Mark) Messier. That's a concern “Our talent is so thin, it makes the coach's job tough. There were nights when some of our top players weren't getting the job done, but you've got to play them. Who else are we going to put in?” For all the boasts that the Canucks would be bigger and tougher, in fact the Canucks are smaller on average Expos defeat New York MONTREAL (CP) — Hubie Brooks doubled twice and scored a pair of runs and Tim Wallach hit a two-run homer as the Montreal Expos defeated the New York Yankees 5-4 in exhibi tion baseball play on Saturday A crowd of 22,191 saw Canada's debut spring training game in which the Yankees were making their first ever visit to Montreal. Mike Shade, 1-0, pitched one per feet inning of relief for the win, while Charles Hudson, 1-2, took the loss. New York jumped into a three-run lead against Montreal starter Pascual Perez, who lasted only two innings. Don Mattingly drove in a run with an infield out in the first inning to put The Yankees added two more in the second, one on a Claudell Washing- ton homer and the other when Dave Winfield scored from third on Rafael Santana's double-play ball. Wallach's third homer of the spring, with Brooks on board, made it 3-1 in the third Montreal took the lead with three runs on four hits off Hudson in the fifth. Brooks doubled home Tim Raines with the tying run in the fifth and then scored on Andres Galarraga’s single. Tom Foley's triple drove in Calarraga with the final run of the innings. New York got one back in the sixth when Gary Ward tripled and than when they began the season. Jim Sandlak is the only forward over 200 pounds. Rich Sutter, traded to Vancouver from Philadelphia two seasons ago, thinks attitudes must change if the Canucks are to get better. “I'm not knocking anybody, but the mentak preparation before games was just awful,” Sutter says. “There were a lot of nights when you really didn’t know who was going to come out. We're supposed to be professionals and we have a job to do to prepare ourselves to play hockey. You can't rely on the guy beside you to get you up for the game.” Belczyk back home By CasNews Staff World Cup downhill skier Felix Belezyk is back in Castlegar following another successful season of alpine ski racing. Belezyk, who ended up in 19th spot overall in FIS alpine points standings with 65 points, arrived in Castlegar Friday afternoon. “Overall I'm very happy with my season,” Belezyk said yesterday. “I had some really good results this season.” Once all the FIS points are tallied Belezyk may place as high as fifth in the super giant slalom points standings and 14th in the downhill standings. Belezyk says he will take a little time off over the next few weeks but also said he will be busy with pro- motional commitments. He will be doing some public relations work with the Panorama ski hill on top of other duties. He said there won't be much time for him to sit around and enjoy the Castlegar summer as he begins his dry-land training regimen for next season in May. The Canadian alpine ski team will be in Chile in July to start training for the first World Cup alipine ski event of the 1988/89 ski season which is sche- duled for Aug. 6-13 at Las Lenas, Sporting Views By Brendan Nagle ises to be a real barn-burner with the provincial rivals hammering it out in a rough, high-scoring, seven game series. While the Flames, on paper, are a shoe-in for the victory, Edmonton gets the nod in this one. It'll come down to which goalie can stop more shots than the other and Grant Fuhr will win that duel with Mike Vernon to lead the Oilers to an upset victory in game seven at the Saddledome. The Wales conference is still a little hazy at this point because there are still four teams vying for the two final playoff berths in the Patrick division. The Islanders and Washington are in the playoffs for sure and I’m banking on Phil adelphia and the Rangers to fill out the playoff picture in that division. The Islanders will handle the Rangers in six games. The ¢ross- town or “subway” series is always an intense matchup between the two New York squads regardless of how much better one team is than the other, The Philadelphia-Washington series will be a defehsive struggle with Ron Hextal, providing he's healthy, and Clint Malarchuk stop. ping all kinds of shots. Philly is the winner here in six as the Caps still can't find a way to beat the playoff jinx. The division will go to the Flyers as they out-muscle the Isles in six. . The Adams division will provide the best opening and second-round playoff action as the four teams involved are intense rivals. The Montreal-Hartford opening round series promises to be close. If the Whalers start Richard Brodeur in net and stay with him the series will go seven games with a couple of overtime decisions. Brodeur, for some reason, is at his professional best when between the pipes while playing against the Habs. Montreal will, however, take the series. Boston will handle Buffalo easily. Five games tops. The Adams division final will be a tough series with Boston and Montreal banging it out as they have been doing all season. It's really too bad these teams can't meet further into the playoffs because the Boston-Montreal series is usually the best in NHL hockey. I give Montreal the nod in six games with superior goaltending and scor. ing punch. In the final four, Montreal will play Philly and St. Louis will meet Edmonton. Montreal will have a hard, close series with the Flyers but will edge the Broad Street contingent in six games. Hextall will be too tired to keep out all the shots coming from the Montreal! snipers, Edmonton will crush St. Louis in four straight as the Blues are still no match for the Edmonton attack. The Blues will also be tired from actually making it to the final four The final championship series for the Stanley Cup will see two different styles of hockey being played by the two teams. Edmonton's fast-paced gun-and run style will handcuff the Can. adians for one, maybe two games. After that, the solid blue line corps and defensive minded forwards will grind the smaller Edmonton squad into the ice. The Montreal adians will win the Stanley Cup for the 23rd time in team history and send Gretzky and Co. back to Edmonton with the consolation prize and a lot of bruises. New York ahead. scored on Washington's infield out. Argentina Habs hammer Sabres MONTREAL (CP) — Stephane Richer, returning from a hand injury that forced him to miss five games, scored three goals — giving him 48 this season — in leading the Montreal Canadiens to a 9-4 NHL victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. Richer's first goal, at 12:19 of the second period, was the first of three by Montreal in a team-record 37-second span. Shayne Corson and Bobby Smith followed the Richer goal to shatter a mark that had existed since 1955, when Jean Beliveau scored three times in 44 seconds. Goals by Claude Lemieux and Ryan Walter enabled the Canadiens, who trail the Calgary Flames by one point in the overall standings with one game each to play, to fashion a 5-2 first-period lead. John Tucker and Mike Foligno were the Buffalo marksmen who beat goaltender Patrick Roy Richer, previously sidelined by a sore thumb, increased the margin to 6-2 early in the second period, sending a shot through a forest of legs past netminder Darren Puppa. LEAFS 5 WINGS 3 TORONTO (CP) — Allan Bester came off the bench to put up a brick wall across the Toronto goal line and Vin¢ent Damphousse and Tom Fergus scored in the last seven minutes to give the Maple Leafs a 5-3 NHL victory Saturday night over the Detroit Red Wings. The Leafs, who entered the game faced with elimination from the playoffs and last place overall, will qualify for Norris Division playoffs if the Minnesota North Stars fail to defeat the Calgary Flames this afternoon in Calgary Detroit led 3-0 when Shawn Burr assisted on goals by Bob Probert, Brent Ashton and Dale Krentz in the opening 10 minutes. The Leafs were playing pathetically and it looked like the end Bester, who has started only one game in the last two months, was sent in to replace Ken Wregget in Toronto's goal. Gary Leeman and Ed Olezyk scored.in the second period and Fergus tied it 3-3 1:45 into the third period. FLYERS 7 NORDS 4 QUEBEC (CP) — Murray Craven and Ilkka Sinisalo scored twice to lead Philadelphia Flyers to a 7-4 triumph over Quebee in NHL play Saturday night The loss was the sixth in seven starts for the Nordiques, the other game ending in a 4-4 draw against the Flyers, Quebec concludes its home season with a dismal 15-23-2 won-lost-tied record. The Flyers broke the game open with three goals in 39 seconds early in the second period, two by Craven and one by Mark Howe. Peter Zezel and Dave Brown also scored for Philadelphia, with Zezel adding an assist Michel Goulet had two goals for Quebec, his 47th and 48th of the season, with Quebec unable to mount any sustained offence in final two periods apart from a powerplay goal by Gaetan Duchesne. Rightwinger Lane Lambert also scored for Quebec. WHALERS 4 BRUINS 2 HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Second-period goals by Ray Ferraro and Carey Wilson backed a 28-save effort by goaltender Mike Liut and carried the Hartford Whalers past the Boston Bruins 4-2 in National Hockey League action Saturday night. Ferraro’s goal at 3:15 snapped a 1-1 tie and Wilson scored on the power play at 15:14 as Hartford won for the sixth time in the last eight games. Sylvain Turgeon and Neil Sheehy also scored for the Whalers, 35-33-7, while Sylvain Cote collected two assists. Randy Burridge and Craig Janney scored for the Bruins, 43-30-6, who lost for the second straight game and are 4-5-0 since March 13. Boston, despite losing for the third time in the last four meetings against Hartford, took the season series 4-3-1 and outscored the Whalers 28-21 in the eight games. The Whalers took a 1-0 lead 2:09 into the game when Turgeon took a pass from Brent Peterson and beat Andy Moog from the slot for his 22nd goal of the season. DEVILS 5 ISLES 2 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Claude Loiselle and Patrik Sundstrom scored first-period goals as the New Jersey Devils moved within one victory of their first NHL playoff berth with a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday. The victory, a franchise-record fourth straight for New Jersey, gave the Devils 80 points. They are tied for fourth place in the Patrick Division with the New York Rangers, but lead the Rangers on the basis of more victories and can clinch their first playoff berth since moving to New Jersey from Colorado in 1982 with a win tonight in Chicago. The victory also guaranteed the Devils their first non-losing season The loss ended the Islanders’ six-game winning streak and seven-game unbeaten streak. The Islanders still need one point to clinch their first Patrick Division title since 1983-84. Loiselle opened the scoring with his 17th goal of the season 5:51 into the game, beating Islanders goaltender Kelly Hrudey with a screened 45-foot slap shot. PENS 7 CAPS 5 LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Mario Lemieux scored his fourth goal of the game with 58 seconds left in overtime‘and the Pittsburgh Penguins stayed alive in the National Hockey League playoff race with 7-6 victory Saturday night over the Washington Capitals. Lemieux broke into the Washington zone from the left side and managed to flip the puck past goaltender Clint Malarchuk while being hauled down by defenceman Larry Murphy. The victory moves the Penguins one point behind New Jersey and the New York Rangers in the race for the final Patrick Division playoff berth. All three teams finish their regular season tonight.
