At a AAA tournament in the Okanagan over the week~- end, the A Reps faced off against teams one and two di- visions above them. But thanks, in part, to team captain Ryan Horcoff’s scoring touch and goalie Justin Evin’s acrobatics, the Reps toughed it out and found themselves in the final of the 12-team tournament Sunday evening. “He played very well,” coach John Horcoff said of Evin. “He had a great week- end.” Opening with an early 5-1 win over Sicamous A, the Reps rode a Horcoff hat-trick .

Drawn against a AAA team from Salmon Arm, the Reps headed into the third period nursing a 2-0.lead that slowly slipped away and sent the two teams into overtime tied at two. But Horcoff again emerged as the hero, netting the win- ner four-and-a-half minutes into overtime, setting the stage for the final later that day. The Reps matched their Merritt AAA opponent stride for stride through the first two periods, but coach Hor- coff said the effects of the ear- lier overtime game were obvi- ous in the third period. “You could see the fatigue starting to set in,” he said. Although the Reps came out on the short side of a 5-2 final, the coach said the week- end was a success. “J think the kids played ex- tremely well,” he said. think they gained a lot of con- fidence.” And it’s that confidence that Horcoff says should serve them well at this week- end’s: provincial finals in Squamish. “T think they’re believing in themselves,” he said, adding the Reps control their own destiny “They’re the ones who have to do it.” : Disabled Games set for July in Maple Ridge The B.C.
