Instead the p ‘Comes every night they put ona ‘Team Canada jersey and go out : to prove to their fans and their + foes that the country still pro- i: duces some of the best hockey } talent in. the world. That task was put to the Cana- dian National Team once again on : Saturday night at the Cominco, and, as if Us \ue, the club responded with an exciting, 5-4 win over the U.S, National {in front of 1,500 enthuciastic Games, such as ‘Sararday night's, hold several connotations for fans and players. For the fans, they want to see a win, while the players are using the to show the coaches what they can do. Either way, once a Team Canada jersey goes on, so-do the expectations. ‘ “In my mind that's good,” said Team Canada coach Tom Renney, who was returning to the site of his days as coach of the Trail Junior Smoke Eaters: “I like that motivation, being that we don’t compete for an Olympic medal every year you try to find ways to make sure you're team is prepared.” Defenceman Jamie Heward, who scored Canada’s first goal agreed. “It's tough being a hockey super power. Every time we go out on the ice people expect us not only to win but to dominate : games. But that’s not going to be ‘y the case every night.” Heward energized Team Cana- :, da early on Saturday as he blasted +a point shot that U.S. goalie Jason Mitchell never saw to put the home feam up 1-0 and get the crowd on its feet. Heward is one of the players in Saturday's game that may soon be seen again on a Saturday night, only next time it will be on televi- sion. Prior to the team's trip through B.C., Heward inked a deal {swith the. Toronto Maple Leafs. “When I decided to give Team », Canada a try I hoped it would open some new doors and it did. However, I’m prepared to fulfil my obligation to Team Canada. I made a commitment to them and I owe them that. If it wasn’t for Team Canada I probably wouldn’t have had the opportuni- ty with Torontg, But once April 1 rolls around who knows what Toronto may want.” Either way, added Heward, it's . going to be a memorable season . whether he’s playing in the NHL or at the World Championships in Sweden. The U.S. wanted a win situa- tion as well on Saturday and answered with two goals before . the end of the first as Andy Wei- denbach, at the midway mark, and Jeff Mikesch, with three min- utes to play, jammed home loose pucks near the Canadian goal. U.S. coach Jerry York said that both teams use these exhibition games to get a feel for the talent. He added the coaching staff had “only one game and two practices ¢ to look over his current squad. “It’s a look see trip. It's a good “chance for us to observe and & —= See us for all your natural gas or. yin aes eres ees P tu es ale 8 LaFace Contracting *Roofing Vinyl Siding “Soffit & Fascia Decorative Trims eViny!

This is a collection of players that haven't had a real impact on U.S. hockey just yet.” The motivation on both sides was apparent especially in the second period as the tempo picked up a notch. Team Canada struck quickly when Joel Savage netted the tying goal a minute {nto the mid- dle frame. A minute later, Canada was up one when Mike Maneluk scored his first of two goals of the night. “ But the Uk mounted arally of its ov@before the end of the + 0s as Tim Harberts and Dean Campanale scored two minutes apart to give the visitors a 4-3 lead with 20 minutes to play.\ As the game wore on, neither team backed away from the phys- ical part Of the match. And with both teams icing some sizable players, the Cominco Arena ice surface looked smaller than usual. “We're both the same style hockey teams,” explained Heward. “It's North American style hockey not European style and that's going to happen.” Canada carried ,the play in the third as Lee Leslie capitalized on a tumover and beat Mitchell to tie the game once again. The with less than four min- utes to play, Canada's Chris Bright was given a chance to put his team ahead when he was awarded a penalty shot. Mitchell came up the winner in this encounter to push the game clos- er to a shootout. However, with exactly two minutés to play, Claude Vilgrain fed the puck out to Maneluk who wristed into the U.S. goal to lift Canada to victory. For Vilgrain, the game proved to be a homecoming of sorts. Married to a Castlegar native, Vil- grain returns to the area every summer and is a familiar face at a number of charity golf games. Yet this trip back to the West Koote- nay had nothing to do with golf. “I got the call last Monday to come here and play,” said Vil- grain who was playing in Switzer- land at the time the phone rang. He boarded a plane and joined the team for its Friday night game in Fernie which Canada won 6-1. Following the game, Renney admitted that, while he's trying to evaluate each player over a series of games, each win still provides thrill. “The by-product of every- thing you do as a coach is to win. But our ultimate objective is to make sure that the players get better by it.” A belly slap-shot! They weren't the Olympic team but the Castlegar Bantam Rep team were flying just as high at the Complex last weekend when they beat Midway 5- 2 to claim their own tournament title.
