News reporter Jonathan Green occupied the sports desk in Millsie’s absence. FOR THE _RECORD_ Although the photo was correct, a story in the Wednesday issue of The News referred to Castlegar Reps player Shawn Horcoff as Ryan Horcoff. Jonathan Green NEWS REPORTER Will he or won't he is a question a lot of lo- cal hockey people are asking. ‘He’ is Gordie Walker, and the ‘question’ is whether or not he will re turn as coach of the Castle- gar Rebels next year. The team started the sea- son with Kevin Cheveldave at the helm but, because of personal matters, Chevel- dave stepped down on Box- ing Day. eat Assistant coach Kevin GordieWalker Koorbatoff assumed the ——————— head coach position, which lasted for two weeks until Castlegar native and former NHLer Walker took over in mid- January. Walker inherited a Rebels team mired in a nine game losing streak, but that changed al- most overnight. The team responded to the new coach, winning three straight games. But the inconsistency that plagued the Rebels early in the season returned as they headed into the playoffs losing seven of their last eight games. That trend continued when the division- leading Nelson Maple Leafs brought out the brooms.and swept the Rebels in four games. ‘My number one priority is my wife and kids. After that I’d love to do it. I just don’t know if they want me back. — Gordie Walker Now, three weeks after season’s end, gener- al manager Don Joice said Walker’s future, the executive’s future and the team’s future are all up in the air. “Who knows,” he said: “No one has commit- ted themselves to anything. They’re all just talking about it.” : Thursday, Walker said he was very interest- Walker uncertain about future ed in returning but said that two things stood in his way. “Number one, I haven’t been asked yet,” he said, “and number two, I haven't got a job in town.” Walker said that his return would hinge on how things go for him between now and next hockey season in the construction business. “My number one priority is my wife and kids,” he said. “After that I’d love to do it. Ijust don’t know if they want me back.” : Although his 15 games behind the bench this year included 11 losses, Walker said he was pleased with the effort the Rebels put forth. “Overall, I was pretty happy with the guys,” he said. With rumors circulating that Nelson will make the jump to Junior A, and that the KI- JHL could fold its tent in the off season, Walk- er said that the leagues survival is critical. “T would really like to see the league contin- ue,” he said. “You have to keep hockey alive in Castlegar. “Who knows what’s going to happen.” ” Talk to us today.
