Currently, he leads the Castle- gar Rebel i in scoring with 12 points and is working his way up from the farm. Acquired at the start of the sea- son from the rebels’ affiliates, the Vernon Lakers, Sunutti was sent to Castlegar to develop his scor- ing touch and his confidence. “He played in a couple of regu- lar season games,” says Lakers General Manager, ‘Mel Lis. “I don't think he was aware how they play hockey here. Our level of play is a lot higher than what he's used to." Sunutti grew up five minutes away from the statue of Rocky Balboa that ;looms on the steps of _the Philadelphia Spectrum. -\ His father had season tickets to the NHL's Flyers and when his ‘mother saw her son's interest in the sport she enrolled him in minor hockey. “My mom was a figure skater,” says the 5°11" 185 pound Sunutti. <"Istarted skating at four-years- ‘old.

The girls came back to win the second game 15-11 but then struggled again as J.L. Crowe reversed that score in the third. “I almost thought we weren't going to do it,” Uchida said. “But we beat them when it counted.” Down two games to one, SHSS dug deep winning both remaining games to take the series with three wins. ‘The district title means the girls will represent the area at the provincial toummament in Vander- Cranbrook again, setting up a final re-match against Nelson. “We just jelled like you wouldn't believe,” said coach Don Lust, “Everybody on the team just came out.”” The boys—who finished their season with, for the most part, a junior team—swept the best of five match with 15-10, 15-8, and 15-6 scores. “In the final one of our Grade 12 players sprained an ankle,” said Lust. “That left us with only one Grade 12 player in the start- ing line-up.” The coach praised the efforts of all his players but singled out Dan hoof, 29 to D ber 1. on defence and Lee Melinek on omteace 3 astwo ie vAnd while Lust said he's look- ‘ing forward to having basically the same team‘ playing together next year, they still have business to finish this year, Lust's crew will represent the Kootenays at the B.C. champi- onship tournament in:Courtenay, on the last weekerid of November. “Before the finals, I told’ them what a high it is to go to the provincials,” Lust said: ‘“That it's aonce ina lifetime chance.” The boys have already faced some of the top competition they'll see in Courtenay. ' Lust said a’few of the top hools were at SHSS played in earlier in the year.

Selkirk has won the provincial championships for three years running. And if this year’s team can make it four-in-a-row, it would set a new B.C. record. However, if the Saints are to break any records they'll have to turn things around—soon. The men’s record stands at 1-5 as thwe club approaches the mid- point of the season. On the weekend, the team JIM ZEEBEN Sun staff. “The Castlegar Rebels didn’t gain any ground on the weekend . but they didn’t lose any either. In a two game split, the Rebels were doubled 6-3 on Friday by Grand Forks and then came back to beat Columbia Valley 5-4 in overtime on Saturday. Castlegar has yet to beat the Border Bruins in four games this year. “We actually played really well,” said Kevin Cheveldave, coach of the Rebels. “We out shot them 39-26. I can’t figure out why we have trouble against them.” Cheveldave pointed out that his club’s record works out to 4- 4—if you don’t include four straight losses to Grand Forks. travelled to Kamloops for their third tournament of the year. The ‘Saints opened well enough as they beat Malaspina College, one of the top volleyball schools in the British Columbia College Athletic Association. “We had to beat Malaspina,” said Selkirk coach Mike Perra. “It’s already going to be a tight squeeze to get into the play-offs,” In the next match, the Saints took the College of New Calado- nia to five games but lost in the final. The final match of the touma- ment for Selkirk was the host team from Cariboo College. “It was more a mental struggle than anything else,” Perra said, as in the last ecight-minutes of the game, we're up 4-1 and our guys started playing selfish hockey: carrying the puck instead of pass- ing it around.” Joel Casey (4.66) recorded his second win in three games as a Rebel netminder. Castlegar remains mired in the West division cellar but with three games in hand on third To make matters more confus- © ing, the Border Bruins are having trouble with a team Castlegar has been relatively successful against—Nelson Maple Leafs. “We can’t beat them but they're asking us for advice on beating Nelson,” Cheveldave said, adding that he played hock- ey on the same junior team as Grand Forks assistant coach. “And the fact my team is having trouble beating his team is the worse ” Vaughn Welychko was in net ° for the Rebels for his sixth loss.

According to Perra, it’s been a year of “Losing to CNC and Cariboo was a better descision than losing to Malaspina,” Perra said. “When the play-offs are approaching, we will have beaten the teams at the top of the standings.” Rebels record drops to 4-8 There is no race for play-off spots as every team qualifies for post-season play. The only thing the regular season decides is home-ice advantage. So far in the KUHL, the west has proven to be a much stronger division than the east. However, the Rebels remain the exception as they currently stand seventh out of the eight teams in the
