For seconds, the right winger for the Mi Tech Huskies was also 's most i athletic honor Tuesday at the school’s Var- sity Awards banquet. Hurd, who just completed his final selected as the Merv Youngs award winner as the team’s most valuable player. And just when he- thought he couldn’t top that, Hurd probably won't have to figure out what he'll be doing in his first year out of college, because the NHL's Detroit Red Wings are expected to sign him to @ contract any day now. “My wife (Castlegar native Sherry) thought you were them (the Red Wings),”" said Hurd when-contacted Thursday by the Castlegar News at his apartment in Mishigan.

The bad news in Davidoff’s and Chernoff’s case is the Under 18 Kootenay team, which was expected to place high in the provincial-like tournament, came seventh with an 0- 3-3 record. “They had the potential to be in the gold medal,"’ said Stanley Hum- Phries field hockey coach Verna Chernoff, who was an official at the tournament and had predicted a top three finish for the team. “Six out of the 11 starters were selected to the trials for the B.C. team, that shows you the kind of KELLY DAVIDOFF . . . off to Burnaby calibre they had,”* said Chernoff. Back to the good news though, the other Kootenay representative in the other division of the tournament, the Under 16 team, surpassed expec- tations by finishing fourth. Wendy Closkey, Trudy Clow, Janet Kalesnikoff, Jennifer Fayart and Jeanette Kitchen of Castlegar played on that team which compiled a 1-3-1 record in the tourney, which included an overtime penalty shot AIMIE CHERNOFF - «, other commitments loss in the semifinal Under 16 team coach Marcie Silva said she knew her girls were better than anyone thought “I had faith in them, after that last practise | knew they were going to do pretty good,"’ said Silva, 20, who was making her coaching debut in Chilliwack. “Those are the best teams in Un- der 16 (in the province), so yeah, I was pretty happy about it,” she said. Rangers are hot on B.C. boy, even if he can TORONTO (CP) — Kevin Reimer has never had trouble getting his bat On the ball. Getting his glove on that little white thing was a different mat- ‘ter, however. But countless hours shagging fly balls and an ‘‘awesome”’ work ethic endeared the pride of Enderby, B.C., “(Reimer) was a major factor,” said Valentine before the Rangers’ 4 2 loss Wednesday to the Toronto Blue Jays. “We thought he could contribute and fit better in the pic- ture than Incaviglia."* It’s proven to be a tight fit so far for the six-foot-two, 220-pound friendly giant, who was promoted to the big-league club from Class AAA Oklahoma City iast June and hit two oe 413 runs-batted in 100 at- s. ‘ 't catch a thing Reimer was expected to be the Rangers’ designated hitter against right-handed pitching while getting the odd start in left field. So far, Reimer has two homers with six RBIs and a .271 average. But he’s had only 48 at bats, With $0 many other Rangers Well, playing time is at a premium. “it’s the kind of situation where we have too many good players,” said Valentine, then continuing, it that Annette Kempston of Trail and Cathy Drysdale and Tera Vicker of Rossland were invited to the Under 16 provincial team trials after the tournament. Despite what Chernoff said, Under 18 coach Libby Martin of Rossland said the competition doesn’t get any better than it was in the tournament, which featured select teams from across the province. Given a couple of breaks,’ said Martin, the under 18s could have easily gone from the bottom three to the top. “It doesn’t look that great but I As for the Red Wings, Hurd, who was drafted by the Wings in 1988, said he had been hoping and the team to sign him for the last two weeks, “I was supposed to know by the end of last week, but I should know tomorrow (Friday) for sure,” said the Stanley Humphries secondary school graduate who was majoring in business administration at MTU. Hurd led the Huskies in goal scoring during the season with 29 in 32 games. That total was the most by a Husky player since 1985. His Si points was second on the team and Collegiate Hockey Association second team all-star selection. Martini led all Huskies defen- cemen in scoring with 23 points in- cluding 10 goals. He was also tied for the team lead in powerplay goals with seven and Jed the team in Penalty minutes with 176 minutes in 32 games. Martini, 22, said the award is special because of the people who selected the winner. “The team and coaches select that award, so that’s sort of nice, because your peers vote on it,’’ said Martini. Martini, also a business ad- ministration major at MTU, still has a year left on his scholarship and was drafted 162nd overall by the Edmon- ton Oilers in 1989. Both athletes are expected to be back in Castlegar in two weeks. Goon pools growing TORONTO (CP) — Like most Canadian hockey fans involved in playoff pools, Ted Yoannou had his eyes on a member of the Los Angeles Kings when it came time to draft his team. But unlike most pool players, Yoannou had no interest in Wayne Gretzky. He was after Marty Mc- Sorley. Yoannou, 24, and five friends are in a goon pool, where penalty minutes are golden and goals and assists are worse than worthless — you actually lose points for offensive productivity “The beauty of a (regular) pool is that every time there’s a goal, you learn forward to try and hear who got the assists,’ says Yoannou, who’s also in a conventional points pool. “‘But when there's a big brawl and there’s five minutes of dead time while the ref is sorting out the penalties, usually you're bored. Yoannou, who recently graduated from the University of Toronto law school, says with the goon pool, “you lean forward, kind of hoping ‘Come on, give (Bob) Probert the in- was actually not di with the way they played “It’s really stiff competition at that level and I think they did quite credibly, I really do,"’ said Martin. What both team’s had in common at the tournament is that they both played to a tie the teams that even- tually went to the final in each division. The Under 18 girls tied Fraser Valley 1-1 during the round robin Portion of the tournament while the Under 16 girls tied Victoria 0-0 in the semifinals (eventually losing on Penalty strokes). every manager wants to be in.”* Reimer’s bulging arms and tree- trunk legs immediately beg questions about his ability to patrol the out- field. But he said his repuration as a defensive liability is undeserved. undeserved. “His defence has gone from being ‘a lot. to be desired’ to ‘very adequate’,”’ said Valentine. “He can play pow without any mére worries than any other defensive player."’ “which is exactly the stigating penalty. Give my guy the 10. IS oe.” So, rather than drafting Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Cam Neely, Yoannou and friends went after Mc- Sorley, Chris Nilan and Mike Peluso. “*There’s a lot more Strategy than in a regular pool when you’re deter- mining which teams are going (to the finals),’’ says Yoannou. Following goons is the latest variation on the pools theme, says Gerry Sheanh, co-author of Sharks and Prey: A Guide to Hockey Pools. ““We've heard about as many dif- ferent kinds of pools as there are people,"’ Sheanh said recently in a telephone interview from his home in Prince George, B.C. In fact, because of increased in- terest in pools based on fighting, Sheanh said next year’s edition of Sharks and Prey will list the top goons from each team. Both Sheanh and Scott Abbott, co-author of Hockey Pool Fever, estimate there are 100,000 hockey Pools in Canada. Abbott says he first came across goon pools in the '84-"85 season when he got involved in one for the playoffs. (He won, thanks to Dale Hunter — then of the Quebec Nor diques — and his 97 penalty minutes.) ‘
