/ B2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, DECEMBER 16, 1981 Brothers aiming for Canadian National team By CHERYL WISHLOW Staff Sports Writer Three brothers — all aim- ing for the same goal — a member of the Canadian National ski team. The three brothers are Jim, Ken and Beaver Ross of Castlegar, all members of the Red Moun- tain Racers. It’s certainly a long-term goal for myself, says Jim, 18, a 1981 Stanley Humphries Secondary School graduate. Jim has been skiing for 18 years and racing for five years. He spent a year on the Racers’ talent squad before becoming a carded racer. The talent squad, known as the Nancy Green League, is the program's youngest division and is designed to introduce youngsters to ski races and to develop their racing abil- ities. . As a cardholder, Jim started off with local races, then went on to the B.C. Fleishmann’s Cup (formerly the Pontiac Cup) and is now racing in Federation Inter- national du Ski (FIS) races. Last year Jim won the giant slalom in the B.C. Cup and came third in the B.C. overall standings. LIKES THE CHALLENGES He also took first in the Red Mountain Racers team race and finished 28rd in the FIS Pontiac Cup slalom. Why does he race? It’s the challenge. But Jim says the hardest part of skiing is the technical portant in skiing,” “You have to be in the right frame of mind to win — that’s the hardest part. “That's the difference be- tween winners and losers,” he adds. “If you are going to win a race you really have to think about it. You have to be in the best mental and physical condition you can be if you are going to win.” Jim admits skiing is a big commitment, especially if you're going to do well. “There's not too much social life,” he says, “except with the guys on the team.” Jim has taken a year off to ski before continuing his education. He skiis 30-40 hours per week, in addition to his dryland training. In the summer he keeps in shape by cycling competitive- I ly. MAKES IT OR BREAKS IT He chose cycling to keep fit —and he hates running. Jim also enjoys hiking, canoeing and other outdoor sports. He skis downhill, giant sla- lom and slalom, but tends to do better in giant slalom and slalom. This year is a “make-it- break-it” year for Jim. “If I can do well this year it will make a difference, he pect. 5 “Mental preparation is im- he says. & says. “At 18 Ishould be somewhere pretty quick.” Jim is hoping to do some racing in Washington, Or- egon and Colorado this year. He's also hoping to impress B.C. Ski Team coach Glen Wurtelle, in order that he may grab a spot on the team. If he doesn't do well this Red Mountain Races (from left) Jim, Ken and Steven Ross. year, Jim is thinking about taking coaching and instruc- ting courses next year. As for new coach Tim Gilhooly, Jim says he thinks hte former World Cup down- hill skier is going to do well. “He's really a confident guy and that attitude runs over on the team. “He a really good technical coach and he can really ski well,” Jim adds. Jim says there are some coaches who can tell one how to ski well and yet they can't ski themselves, He also says Gilhooly lets every skier do his own thing — especially the older skiers. racer. He spent a year on the talent squad before moving up the ladder. Why skiing? “Jim has done it and he enjoyed it so I thought I would try it,” he says. Says Jim, “The whole family enjoys it and it's just a natural to want to do it.” Kens put in six hours per week of dryland training and skiis all day Saturdays and > Sundays. —CosNewsPhoto. “He guides them, but pret- ty well lets them make their own decisions.” Gilhooly also has a lot of connections, Jim says. Jim's brother, Ken, agrees about Gilhooly. Ken, 16, has also been skiing for 13 years and is in his third year as a carded Junior Rockettes season underway Stanley Humphries Secondary School Homecoming Basketball s+ Game RY Wed., Dec. 23 | All Ex-Rockers and Rockettes are in- vited to play.

Coach Doug Pilatzke is op- tomistic about this year's crop of rookies. SUE POPOFF “Some of the girls, like Patty Plotnikoff, Debbie Boolinoff, Tanya Rogers, Linda King, Laura Adams, and Gayle Wigen are prod- ucts of our local elementary and junior high basketball programs, and although they are new to the Rockettes, they have been playing for two or three years and pos- sess some fine skills,” he says. “Our only real rookies this In the summer he water- skiis competitively and wind. surfs, The main disadvantage to racing for him is the cost. The average racer pays $800 for coaching, $100 for a lift ticket, plus clothing, skiis and a number of miscellan- eous items. Ken's credits include third place in the B.C. Winter Games Zone 2 (Okanagan) trials last year in which he entered to pick up points. He also finished second in the dual slalom Red Mountain Racers team race. Ken will be racing in divisional and national events this year, and trying to get into FIS races. Racing all events, Ken tends to do better in slalom than downhill. On the average, he'll be racing every second week- end, but there are times when he'll go for an entire week. “['ve got a number of years ahead of me,” he sayd, “but it” helps... to get into a lot of big races.” Last in line of the “com- potitive three” is 14-year-old Steven (Beaver), who is in his fourth year of racing and his second as a carded member. Steven has been skiing since he was three years old. “When I was three I was forced to ski and I hated it,” he sayd. ya. ‘ Jim adds, “That's what it was like with all of us. Now our parents can't keep us off (the hill).” Steven, a Grade 9 student at Stanley Humphries, put in three hours of dryland train- ing a week and 12 hours on the slopes, In the summer he waterskiis and windsurfs, like brother Ken. He likes skiing for the speed, but hates the fact the hill is so far away. Last year Steven was the most improved male carded Racer. He also came eighth last year in the B.C. Winter . Games Zone 1 trials. Steven will be competing in divisional races this year. He also races in all events, but admits that his best points are in giant slalom, with downhill second and slalom last.

All of those names were applied to Philadelphia Fly- ers in the 1970s, They beat you up, then they beat you.

And now, says coach Pat Quinn, they are victims of their past. “Our reputation has held us at a high penalty level,” Quinn said in a recent inter- view. “But we're not a grind- ing team that should get a lot of penalties. “We suffer from our repu- tation.

MUST CHANGE STYLE Linseman, Ron Flockhart and Brian Propp among the for- wards can keep up in a {ree heelne game. None of are suited “In our we may have jumped in some positions too soon,” admitted Quinn, who seems to realize the Flyers must change their style to conform with the quicker pace and puck-con- trol style that has taken over the NHL. What worries Quinn is that: these Flyers are not winning the battles in the corners, while previous Flyer teams dominated that kind of ac- tion. And the Flyers cer- tainly. can’t skate with speedy opponents like Ed- monton Oilers, Buffalo Sa- bres and Montreal diens. They couldn't even keep up with lowly Washing- ton last.weekend, dropping 10-4 and 3-2 decisions over the weekend. 3 When the Flyers try to play a skating game, they have even more problems. Only Leach, Barber, Ken Cana- | ae that style. Nor is Quinn happy with his goaltending. He has al- ternated Pete Peeters, Rick St. Croix and rookie Pelle Lindbergh without getting the desired results. Quinn hag been looking to deal away one of his goal- tenders — Peeters appears the No, 1 candidate to go. At one point, the Flyers were bombed in four straight games, losing 8-4,.6-2, 6-2 and 7-2. They also fell 11-2 to Montreal for their first loss of the season after a 7-0-1 start. Quinn ‘is smart enough to realize the Flyers won't rebuild overnight. And he likes much of what he sees in youngsters like Flockhart (21, Kerr (21), Propp (22), Linseman (23), and Finnish import Ilkka Sinisalo, 23, He i steadly giving them more work, High-scoring season for Martin Castlegar's Bruce Martin points on the season (9-16= and Dave Kaniganarehaving 25). a good season at Northern Michigan University in Mar- quette.
