82 Castlégar News January 3, 1968 SPORTS JUNIOR HOCKEY PLAYERS DREAM OF MAKING NHL Editor's note: Life is often tedious for players in major junior hockey — long bus trips between games, daily practices, restricted social life. But all are fuelled by a dream: making the National Hockey League. This is the first of two stories on young members of the Ontario Hockey League's Oshawa Generals. By BRUCE CHEADLE Cc Press The bus with the steamy windshield heads north into the driving snow, carrying 19 hockey players with the common goal of arriving one day in the National Hockey League. Few will find the way. The young men are members of the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League, off on a three-day, 1,400-kilometre road trip through the frozen landscape of Ontario's North. They are immersed in the world of the major junior hockey player — a life of diesel boredom and overtime exhilaration. Through it all drifts the pervasive dream of NHL glory that makes the hours on the road seem worth while. This particular trip began on a Wednesday after noon, carrying the Generals eight hours and 700 kilo- metres northwest of Toronto for a Thursday night game in Sault St. Marie} Ont., with a game in Sudbury on the return trip the following night. They are out of Oshawa for about 60 hours — 16 ina bus, 10 in a hockey arena, 16 in a hotel bed, four in team meetings ... if they're lucky they'll get a chance to visit the mall across from the hotel in the Sault. Ranging in age from 16 to 20, these hockey players travel with the lazy disinterest of well-seasoned road warriors — pounding stretches of Ontario highways in search of hockey opponents and NHL scouts. DREAM IS NHL Jeff Hackett, 19, is the Generals’ starting goaltender and a second-round choice of the New York Islanders in last June's amateur draft. Hackett wants to join such Oshawa luminaries as Bobby Orr, Alex Delvecchio, Rick Middleton and Tony Tanti on the list of NHL stars. It's the reason he plays the game. “That's where I want to be — that’s my dream,” said the native of London, Ont. ~ “It's a challenge for everyone who steps in the league,” echoed John Anderson, a third-year forward who was drafted in 1986 by the New Jersey Devils. “They want to move on.” Hackett and Andersen are fry in one of the NHL's traditional stock pools. Professional graduates from the ranks of the OHL Robinson, Wayne Gretzky, Dale Hawerchuck. Thirty-five per cent of the players currently in the NHL played in the OHE. Explaining the NHL aspirations that drive major intorested in going all the way, then he should be doing something else.” Hackett's second-round _selection makes him the top draw among the eight NHL draftees on the Oshawa roster this season. That gives the six-foot, 185-pounder a serious chance, since over half of the 420 core players in the NHL were picked in the first two rounds. By comparison, there is only one player currently playing a drafted in the 12th round. regular role who w: Andersen was an 11th-round NHL 213th overall. The 19-year-old Toronto native has the sloping muscular shoulders of a longshoreman and carries himself with a good-natured swagger. But he wears no false bravado when asked about his chances of succeeding in the pros. He knows the odds, “It's just a basic fact that the turnover in the National Hockey League isn't that great — 30 or 40 players a year,” said Andersen, pulling ndimbers out of the air that even NHL statisticians couldn't refute or corroborate. “And they're picking from every. junior player, every American League player, wherever they can get their guys from.” Officials with New Jersey will only say publicly that * Andersen “could challenge for a position” with the club. But only three players currently playing in the NHL were 11th-round picks. KEEP UP HOPE Andersen says the NHL dream remains the payoff ly drudgery of practice, the abbreviated Saturday nights, the pizza-fuelled road trips. “You always have that hope,” he said, “otherwise what's the point of for the di lacing up every game?" Hackett, drafted 34th overall, was called up by the Islanders and dressed for two NHL games in November. With his clean-cut, bespectacled good looks, he treats his junior career seriously. “Right now you've got to take this as a professional,” “Even when you don't feel like playing or practising you have to; it's going to be your job some day he said. if you keep developing.” PRACTISE DAILY The Generals practise every day and may play three games a week. They have an 11 p.m. curfew on the eve of game days and because Oshawa plays at home most Sundays, that means early Saturday nights. Players receive pocket money for expenses such as meals. The road trips are as repetitive and ultimately un- appealing as the non-stop, hard-core porn videos piped through the team's bus on two small TVs during the trek home from Sudbury. “Sometimes you wish you were just normal and going out,” said Hackett, noting that many of his friends are enjoying life in the university scene. “But with a lot of the guys here there is so much sacrificing. A normal 19-year-old doesn’t have to be in at 11:30.” Hackett sees the dedication demanded by his Hyekey dream as a character-building process that will som help outside of hockey. “It's the guys who are really dedicated wo will probably end up doing well, even if it isn't in hockey.” are legion.

What's the sen: you don't think you'll ever graduate? “We try to be up front about ties Theriault added. “Only the strong survive. But if a draft pick - day of going if layer’s not Juniors regroup following win By ALAN ADAMS MOSCOW (CP) — Canada’s junior hockey warriors ex: changed the rigors of the road for the sites and sounds of Moscow and the thrills of the Moscow Circus on Saturday, a day after they won their version of Russian roulette. “A day off after a victory like that is what was needed,” said coach Dave Chambers. “We need a day to regroup.” The Canadians wanted -time- to put the decisive pressure-packed 3-2 triumph over the Soviets at the world championships behind them. The unbeaten Canadians play West Germany today and finish the eight-team, round-robin tournament Monday against Poland. The second-place Soviets face the Poles today and West Germany on Monday. Any combination of Canadian victories and Soviet losses equalling two would give Canada its third world junior title and first since 1985. “There are two more games and we really have to earn this gold medal,” said centre Rob Dimaio. “We can't take these teams lightly. “We just have to come out and be consistent and work for 60 minutes.” The Canadians have not turned ina solid game since the championship began Dec. 26. They play in spurts. “We might not play consistent but then... we won the games,” said Theoren Fleury, “You can’t say what it is. “It just seems when we have to get the job done, we get it done.” . The Soviet-Canada game is a case in point. The Canadians looked unbeatable in the first period, dominating their hosts in every aspect of the game, scoring on their best chances and, equally as important, shutting down the neutral zone. That prevented the Soviets from getting their streamlined attack in gear. With a two-goal lead at the start of the second period, Canada appeared to lose its initiative and the Soviets took charge for the next 40 minutes. Canada led 3-2 at the end of the second period and held that margin through the third period onthe strength of goaltender Jimmy Waite's heroics. HIGH PRAISE “Only Canada could hang on to a one-goal lead against the Soviets and win,” said one Soviet hockey official after the game. “A bit like Russian roulette,” was the comeback from a Canadian. Because of the New Year's holiday weekend in the snowy Soviet capital, only one paper, Pravda, published Saturday. It didn't mention the game. Chambers, or” a one-year leave of absence from Toronto's York University where he is the athletic director, said he and ‘his assistant coaches, Ken Hitchcock of Kamloops, B.C., and Jean Begin of Drummondville, Que., still had one priority Saturday. “We still have two (games) left, but we smell it (a gold medal),” said Chambers, who has coached the Italian national team at five world championships. “Our job (now) is to bring them back down and get them relaxed for the last two. > “The circus is a great way to relax.” Before heading to ‘the circus, the Canadians had a 90-minute bus tour of the Soviet capital. Included in the tour was the University of Moscow, KGB headquarters and Novodevichy Convent, a group of 15 buildings that date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Soviets beat MONTREAL (CP) — The Soviet Union scored four unanswered goals in the third period to defeat Pacific 8-6 while Sweden edged Quebec 7-6 in overtime Saturday to advance to today’s final of the Quebec Esso Cup under-17 hockey tournament. At St. Jean, Que., Pacific, representing British Columbia and Alberta, overcame a 3-2 first-period deficit to take a 6-4 lead into the third period. But the Soviets, who remain undefeated in the tournament, scored four times — two of them by Alexander Kuzmin — in the final 20 minutes to defeat Paci At Laval, Que., the defending champion Quebec team was leading Sweden 5-3 after two periods before Team Pacific Sweden staged a comeback of their own. Sweden took the lead 6-5 but Quebec tied it to force a 10-minute overtime period. The Soviet Union plays Sweden today in the championship final at Maurice Richard Arena in Montreal while Quebec and Pacifie meet in the consolation final. In other games Saturday, Finland edged Ontario 5-4 for fifth place at St. Hubert, Que., Canada West defeated U.S. East 8-5 in overtime for seventh place at Laval and Atlantic beat U.S. West 8-5 for ninth place at St. Jean. Ken Manderville of Victoria scored twice for Pacific while Danny Sherstenka, Devin Derksen, Dave Chyzowski and Greg Benson added the other goals. No. 1 COLLEGE TEAM Miami doesn't blow it By The Associated Press This time, the Miami Hur. ricanes didn’t blow it. “It's really an unbelievable feeling to win and it’s such a relief,” Miami quarterback Steve Walsh said after lead. ing the No. 2 Hurricanes over No. 1 Oklahoma 20-14 in the Orange Bow! college football game Friday night. The victory assured Miami, 12-0, of the U.S. championship, which will be made offical in The AP's season-ending poll today, and erased two years of frustration. Two years ago in the Sugar Bowl, the Hurricanes blew a chance at the national championship when they lost 35-7 to Tennessee. Miami entered last year’s Fiesta Bow! unbeaten and ranked No. 1, but lost 14-10 to Penn State, giving the Nittany Lions the title. “It's unbelievable what this team has been through the last four years,” said coach Jimmy Johnson, whose Hurricanes won the U.S. championship for the second CASTLEGAR & AREA RECREATION DEPARTMENT JAN. 4 — Lunch Hour Hockey, 12-1; Parent and Tot Skate, 1 2. time in five years. “Every body throws rocks at us but, T'll tell you what, they've got heart. “They've been hurting for the last three or four years and so have I, so this makes the hurt a little better.” The Orange Bowl capped a busy day in which six bow] games were played.

Texas A and M routed Notre Dame in the first meeting between the schools, but the game was marred by an outburst from Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown. A frustrated Brown, who had 238 all-purpose yards at that point, lost his poise in the fourth quarter and ran across the field to tackle Warren Barhorst, a member of A and M's kickoff team who had tackled him. Brown, who was penalized 15 yards for the flagrant personal foul, never returned to the field aftergthe incident. Brown, who left the field early just before the end of the game, said an A and M player held him down while another stole a towel with his initials on it.

Brooker ready again TORONTO (CP) — Todd Brooker is getting ready for another World Cup downhill ski harness recently for the first time since the accident. “T can still go out and teach these people how to have fun skiing,” said Brooker. DIFFICULT TIME With the Olympics being staged in his own backyard, it is a difficult time to be retired. Aside from the bon anza of endorsements to be derived from a heroie per. formance on Mount Allan, the sheer thrill of winning an Olympic gold medal on home turf would make any ath lete’s career complete. Brooker knows that, yet ski season, but this time around he’s playing it safe — as a television commentator. The last time most of the ski world saw Brooker he was tumbling grotesquely down the Hahnenkamm downhill course at Kitzbuhel, Austria, helpless to control his twisting and bouncing body on the ice-hard track. A helicopter carried his limp figure off the mountain that January day, and his horrified wife, Lisa, at the finish line, wondered refuses to torture himself whether she had actually with dreams of the impos. seen her husband die on the sible. Crazy Canucks’ favorite run. “I couldn't keep racing,” he Brooker spent the next says. “I went out West skiing seven weeks in hospital a few weeks ago and I knew nursing a broken nose, a con cussion and a ripped-up knee. for sure I made the right choice. I couldn't tuck prop. erly for even a normal hill.” Agent Glen Calkins has compressed Brooker's career into a 7% minute film of inspiration for showing at. corporate soirees. But the way Brooker has it figured, if everyone is famous for 15 minutes, there's still half a career of accomplishment to come. Brooker feels there are skiing opportunities for him, even though they may have nothing to do with racing. “Last weekend I was with a bunch of guys in their 40s and I loved just showing them how they could get more fun out of it.” Brooker still lives in Paris, Ont., in a renovated cottage TODD BROOKER onTv on his parents’ 10-acre prop. erty. But he hopes soon to be in a chalet overlooking Pow der Mountain, B.C. His career included three World Cup victories jas the Canadian ski team struggled to Span generations from the Crazy Canuck era to the Weekend Wrap-up present. Brooker, 28, had already undergone three serious knee operations and knew it was time to call it quits. “What can you do?” he asks rhetorically in a New Year's Eve interview. “That's not the way I wanted to end up. “I wanted to go to the Olympics this year, win the damn thing and carry on from there. I wasn’t planning how I was going to retire and how everything would fit in.” INVESTS IN HILL Now he's part of a group of investors attempting to win .C. government approval for Powder Mountain, a planned ski resort north of Vancouver that would com- pete with Whistler and Blackcomb. He's also signed on as color analyst with TSN at the Winter Olympics in Calgary.

Religion Briefs Clarke resigns EDMONTON (CP) — Archbishop Kent Clarke of Edmonton, who is also metropolitan of the eccles iastical province of Rupert's Land, has resigned. A synod will be held March 26 to elect a successor to Clarke, 55, who has been bishop of the diocese for seven years. In his letter of resignation, Clarke cited ill health and exhaustion. Archbishop Michael Peers of Edmonton, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, said Clarke's health problems are related to alcohol abuse. “The archbishop hag recognized this and is using the next month to face up to and deal with the problem,” he said. Clarke was elected bishop of Edmonton, a district stretching from British Columbia to Saskatchewan, in 1980. He succeeded Peers as metropolitan of Rupert's Land Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and the’ Arctic. in November 1986.

Agency gets $100,000 SASKATOON (CP) — A agency will receive a $100,000 grant from the pro vineial government to begin an adoption service for Christian parents. Saskatoon-based Christian Counselling Services has been offering counselling for 12 years; supported by church donations. It has also been counselling unwed mothers and the agency says the adoption servicetis a natural extension of its current services.

As a pastor, I look at 1988 with great antici- pation and excitment, for this could be the year that God will send down a revival that will thoroughly shake our community. Presently, the, Castlegar area is a spiritual wilderness. Very little interest is shown by our community in spiritual things. Every Sunday morn ing we are reminded of this lack of interest through such a small percentage of local people attending church. Seemingly the churches in our community (including my own) have resigned them selves only to survive. Yet, Jesus Christ has called His Chureh to thrive. Something is desperately wrong with our attitude toward the com. munity. If God is to bless this com- munity through a revival, we as Christifgs need to get our act togethe®For if we do not mean business with God, how can God in turn bless us? We all need to realize that when a spiritual revival begins in a community it starts among Christians; then it spreads out to our community. Therefore, in 1988, I would like to encourage every Christian to live a more obedient and holy life (ef. Matt. 5:48; 1. Peter 1:15-16). The most effective witness a Christian has in the Castle- gar area is not by attending church functions, but b: living a holy life before an unbelieving world. A non- believer will read our lives long before that person will even read the Bible. Let’s face it, every Christian is a living Bible (cf. 1. Peter 2:5). If more Christians realized that, then we would start living differently. The un- believing segment of our community loves to point out our hypocrisy (where we do not practise what we preach). But when we get off the fence and start living for the Lord, this criticism is quickly silenced. As Christians, we must Prepare cars for winter TORONTO (CP) — With the arrival of winter, motor ists must prepare themselves and their vehicles. Vehicles should be checked by a mechanic and outfitted with safety and first-aid equipment, and motorists should adjust their driving habits, says John Yoannou, a spokesman for Peel Regional Police. “Driving in inclement wea. ther calls for smooth, precise steering, gentle acceleration and gradual application of brakes,” he says. “The most common winter accident occurs when one vehicle slides into another as motorists fail to allow for in. creased stopping distance on slippery roadways.” Police recommend lights on daytime driving, and say low beams — not high should be on in blowing snow Job openings Details of these and other job opportunities are available at Trail Canada E: Contre Hairdressers ore required in the Trail area.

Another common hazard is black ice; the road looks like clear, shiny asphalt, but in reality has a thin covering of ice. To deal with questionable traction, slow down and be ready to de-clutch or shift to neutral, Yoannou says. “If you must brake, do so smoothly and gently.” Every vehicle should carry a scraper, shovel, booster cables, flashlight and flares; sand, kitty litter and pieces of old carpet for traction; non-perishable food such’ as chocolate bars, and emer- gency prescription drugs if needed. Alcohol is not a good survival item, Yoannou says, because it causes drowsiness and loss of body heat; a stranded drinker could fall asleep and freeze to death.

How can Chris- tians keep to themselves a fe-saving message of salva tion from sin and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ? We need to wake up to the fact that the vast majority of people we see around ourselves will one day stand before God's judg- ment. How can we just let life go by without being bur- dened and concerned for them? Most of all, we as Chris. tians must commit ourselves to prayer. We may feel powerless, but we have a God in Heaven who can transform our churches and. our com munity in the wink of an eye. If God is to send down a re. vival, we, His people in the Castlegar area, must be found praying and even fast ing for our pastors, our churches, and our commun. ity. We should continually ask our God to give us an unquenchable desire and hunger for revival, as well as a driving burden for the lost. What I am proposing, as many of you know, is not easy. It's the hardest work in the universe. Yet it says this in Galations 6:9: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” I hope and pray that iy of who are reading this will commit yourselves to pray in 1988 for a revival in the Castlegar area. Personally, I discern it is not a question of “if’, but one of “when”. So when this revival comes to this community, will you be on the cutting edge of it or will you be left out in the cold? It all depends where your desires and priorities are directed in 1988. CASTLEGAR SAVINGS CREDIT UNION 5. Castlegar 365-7232 \ Children can't att VANCOUVER (CP) — A British Columbia woman has been ordered not to take her five children with her to a controversial Christian fund- amentalist church. The children, aged eight months to eight years, stayed with the mother after she and their father separated last January. But two weeks ago, a B.C. Supreme Court judge awarded custody to the father, with the mother given access. Joseph Schwarz, the woman's lawyer, said he will be in court Jan. 13 to apply for a stay to prevent the de cision from taking effect. Madam Justice Jo-Ann Prowse expressed concerns about the woman's involve- ment in the Seattle-based Community Chapel and Bible Training Centre, which has branches in Victoria and the Vancouver suburb of Surrey. Four Sunday school tea- chers at the Seattle church have been convicted of sex- ually assaulting children and three church counsellors were found guilty of failing to report their knowledge of the sexual abuse. Practices at the church in- clude speaking in tongues, casting out demons and “spiritual dancing,” a 10-day Family Relations Act hearing was told. The dancing involves “physical contact . . . not only between adults, but also between adults and chil dren,” Prowse said in a writ ten judgment released Dec 16. TOOK CHILDREN The hearing was told the B.C. woman has been at tending the Surrey branch of the church since February 1986. Surrey pastor Don Kimbro trained in Seattle under evangelist Donald Barnett, 57, who incorpor. ated the church in 1967.

Doctors have known for a century that married people live longer than unmarried people, but a link between marital status and cancer cases had not been deter. mined, said Dr. James Good win, lead researcher. While the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found married cancer patients lived longer, Goodwin said the reason is uncertain. He speculated married people receive stronger emotional support in dealing with stressful events. “If you ask most physi PRESENTS THE * Limited time offer “SPECIAL IMBATUIRES: 1.

Goodwin and colleagues at the University of New Mex ico School of Medicine in Al- burquerque studied 27,779 cancer gases, using data from the Néw Mexico Tumor Reg. istry, which collects data on every such case in the state. The cases, which occurred between 1969 and 1982, in volved 25,706 people because some had multiple cancers.
