Castlegar's Gordie Walker, who the New York Rangers called up from New Haven, last week scored his first NHL goal on Saturday as the Rangers dropped a 5-3 decision to the Hartford Whalers. Steve Bozek, another Castlegar native, finished his regular season with the Calgary Flames with 17 goals, 19 assists for 36 points in 71 games. He had a great playoff sea. son last year and along with the rest of the Flames will face off against the Winnipeg Jets tonight in the first round of their playoff series. Trail's Steve Tambellini scored 16 goals, assisted on 20 others for a total of 36 points in 72 games with the Vancouver Canucks. The Can- ucks, of course, failed to make the playoffs. Another Trail native, Tim Len- ardon, who was called up by the New Jersey Devils from Maine, finished the regular season with one goal and one assist. The Devils are out of the playoffs. Another Devils’ player, Greg Adams of Nelson, ended his season with 20 goals, 27 assists for 47 points in 72 games. Trail’s Ray Ferraro, a member of the Hartford Whalers, managed to pick up 27 goals, 32 assists in 80 games for 59 points. He'll be on the ice tonight when the Whalers meet Quebec in the first round of their playoff series. Red profits By CasNews Staff * “tad News Services Red Mountain manager Bob Steckle said the Rossland ski hill saw more destination skiers and an increase in season ticket sales during this past ski season. “There is more optimism on the economy than there was a year ago,” said Steckle, pointing to plans by Cominco to build a new lead smelter in Trail. British Columbia ski areas fought an uphill battle with Mother Nature and insurance companies this season but, there were some bright spots to go along with unseasonably warm weather. While rocks are showing on most slopes this spring, the Whistler-Blackcomb area, a two-hour drive from Vancouver, is closing in on or breaking records. Enterprises which has d a $20 million i But the major bump onan otherwise groomed slope w: skyrocketing insurance rates. Whistler's insurance premium jumped to $600,000, compared to about $400,000 last year, and the new rate included a $100,000 deductible, said Balfour. ‘The increases triggered lift ticket hikes in many areas. Silver Star, near Vernon, increased its lift ticket prices 20 per cent as a direct result of insurance premium increases, said general manager Norm Crerar. “Almost all of us in B.C. had to go with a big deductible this year,” Crerar said. He said Silver Star also had more destination visits, but total visits fell about 10 per cent. WEATHER A FACTOR HOME RUN? . . . Not exactly but Leonna Powell of the first base with this hit.

(AP) — While Sugar Ray Leonard privately savored his upset victory, Marvelous Marvin Hagler’s camp expressed disbelief over a judge who scored only two rounds for Hagler Hagler’s co-manager, Goody Petronelli, complained that judge JoJo Guerra was inept in giving Leonard a 118-110 nod in points for the 12-round fight Monday night. Guerra, however, contended that -if any scoring mistakes were made in the split-decision, they were made by the judge who had Hagler winning. Guerra had nothing but praise for Leonard's performance “He was superb,” Guerra said. ‘It surprised me. “All this time he was away from boxing and he looked great,” said Leonard, made only brief comments follwoing the fight, left Tuesday for his College Park, Md., home without holding a news conference. His lawyer, Mike Trainer, said the new middleweight champion needed time ‘to collect his thoughts. “He'll take a couple of weeks off and review that happened last night,” Trainer said. “Then he'll make a statement to everyone at the sare time.” Hagler also declined to meet with the media Tuesday “He's feeling down,” Pat Petronelli, Goody's brother, said moment when he indicated there wa&a chance he might fight again. “He has not indicated anything different than what he said before the fight, that he wanted to take one shot at Marvin Hagler,” Trainer said. Hagler’s camp was still upset the day after the fight about Guerra's lopsided scorin, “He was way out of order,” Goody Petronelli said “He was inept.” The complaints were ironic because Hagler's camp requested that a Mexican judge take the place of an English judge that the Nevada state athletic commission scheduled to work the fight. “We thought the English people favored the boxer. the classic stand-up boxer,” Pat Petronelli said.“The said he (Guerra) was very good; the commission said he is very effective.” Guerra, a Monterrey, Mexico, resident who says he has judged more than 6,000 fights, said he was upset withthe criticism scoring. He said he was sure he had the right fighter winning and by the correct: margin “Maybe I was a little off — maybe,” he said. “In my mind, I'm certain I had the right score. “Ithought it was five points at least.” While Guerra had Leonard way ahead, judge Dave $1 799% ony TECHNICS $8-X300 Wooter TECHNICS $8-X700 3.Woy, 3-Speaker, Base Retlex Wooter 1 180W 1 Pair Only Castlegar 279 Columbia Ave. 365-6455 9 59995 2 Pairs Only $299°° Trainer said Leonard, who insisted before the bout that he wouldn't fight again regardless of what happened against Hagler, was caught up in the euphoria of the 115-113 score Moretti had it closer, favoring Leonard 115-113. Judge Lou Fillippo was the lone judge favoring Hagler, bya Captain in dog house WINNIPEG (CP) Dale Hawer chuk, captain of the Winnipeg Jets, has been charged with six infractions under the city’s pound bylaw for allow ing his two Labrador retrievers to run loose near his suburban home. Hawerchuk, 24. has been charged with two counts of allowing his dogs to chase horses, two charges of letting the dogs run at large and two counts of failing Co license them “He has been a problem,” said Doug Smith, the city’s supervisor of control services, who added he has received numerous complaints about the dogs “I guess there has been a concern there from the people for awhile they are more or less fed ap with the problem.” Hawerchuk was charged March 9 and is scheduled to appear in the clerk of the court's office Thursday. The Jets will still be in Calgary where they are playing the Flames in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs Smith noted Hawerchuk could be fined $500 for letting the animals run at large. The other fines could range be tween $10 and $50. Hawerchuk did not return any mes sages left at his Calgary hotel Tuesday a istration for Whistler Mountain Ski Corp., said Tuesday. He said the main reason business was booming was poor snow at many destination resorts in the western United States. Blackcomb, a mountain adjacent to Whistler, passed its record of 278,000 skier visits two weeks ago, said Dennis Hansen, vice-president of marketing for Blackcomb Skiing problems while Big White near Kelowna fared better with its higher elevation. Big White was in receivership until August 1985 when new owners took over and spent $2 million in improvements. Vancouer ski areas suffered because of a lack of snow during the pack Christmas and Easter periods. “It wasn’t the worst year we had, but it coud! have been a lot better,” said Rick Temple, operations manager for Grouse Mountain Resorts Ltd., which was hit with a $300,000 deductible insurance premium this year. Stanley Cup gets going tonight By NEIL STEVENS The Canadian Press The mind games are in full swing as 16 Stanley Cup hopefuls begin the long trek down the NHL playoff road. It’s part of the tradition of this annual Canadian rite of spring for the less highly-regarded teams to attempt to lull the favorites in to afalse sense of security. “Edmonton can have 10 guys not going and still win,” Los Angeles forward Jimmy Carson said as the Kings prepared to take on the Oilers in Edmonton in the opening game of the Smythe Division semifinal tonight. “We're definitely the underdogs “We might surprise them if we play like we can. If we don’t, they'll blow us away.” The Oilers, who finished 36 points ahead of Los Angeles this season, need only remember the spring of 1982 if they begin feeling cocky. That was the year they were bounced out of the first round — by an underdog Los Angeles team. The Winnipeg Jets are in Calgary to face the Flames in theother Smythe semifinal In the Norris Division, the other half of the Campbell Conference, Chicago Blackhawks ate in Detroit to play the Red Wings, and the Toronto Maple Leafs go against the Blues in St. Louis. Detroit coach Jacques Demers has psychologist Hugh Bray working with his players to instill a positive attitude and dispel the disappointment of losing first place on the final night of the schedule. HELPS MORALE “The worst thing that a player can feel right now is that he failed,” says Demers. Leaf coach John Brophy says his players must be mentally prepared to give an extra effort if they want to beat St. Louis. “Our guys are just going tohave to fight harder to get through their checks,” says Brophy In the Wales Conference, the Boston Bruins are in Montreal to play the Canadiens who are on a nine-game winning streak, and the Quebec Nordiques are in Hartford, Conn., to take on the Whalers in Adams Division semifinals In the Patrick Division, the New York Rangers play the Flyers in Philadelphia, and the New York Islanders are at the Washington Capitals. The Bruins are trying not to be psyched out bythe historial content of their series against Montreal. Boston hasn't won a playoff round against the Canadiens since 1943. “We're fed up with losing to Montreal and that's going to make a difference,” says Boston coach Terry O'Reilly Hartford forward John Anderson insists the Whalers aren't taking Quebec lightly despite accumulating 21 more points than the Nordiques this season. “Don't let their problems during the regular season fool you,” says Anderson. “A team doesn't lose a Dale Hunter and a Peter Stastny for a long period of time without it having a devastating effect.” The Nordiques are healthy now Philadelphia will rely heavily on rookie goaltender Ron Hextall “I know that there are a lot of people wondering if I'll come through under playoff pressure,” says Hextall. “That's part of the job.” Islander coach Terry Simpson adopts a familiar phrase in playing down his team's chances against Washington, unbeasten (8-0-1) in its last nine games. “There's no question we're the underdog going into this,” says Simpson. Veteran left winger mike Bossy has a nagging back injury and has missed the last seven Islander games but he says he's prepared to play in pain tonight If the Stanley Cup final goes seven games, we'll be into June before the famous trophy is awarded.” “It’s the start of another season,” says St. Louis coach Jacques Martin. “What we've done until now doesn't court
