Slo-pitch in paradise

That water is cold as hell! - New Jersey Devil Claude

Team work was paying off for
the Woodland Park Shell slo-
pitch team last kend.

Tassone said that all the fun
working towards the trip has
translated into a better on-field
performance.

to the main island of Hawaii for a
bit of a vacation a week before
the Can-Am Slo-Pitch Tourna;
ment starts on Dec. 4.

And they weren't even playing.

This year’s champs in the
Castlegar Slo-Pitch petitive
division have been working the
concession stands at this yéar's
ball tourneys to help pay for a
trip to a ball tournament.

In Hawaii.

“Our goal was to raise half of
everyone's air fare,” said team
member Kim Tassone.

“We now have about three-
quarters of each fare.” Besides
working the tourneys, they have
also held bake sales, garage
sales, and are planning a fire
wood sale. :

Kalesnikoff Lumber donated a
load of birch to the team, and
they will be splitting the wood
and delivering it to anyone who
wants to buy some. (If you want
to buy some fire wood, contact
Sue Conroy at 365-5265.)

But the best fund raiser, in
terms of fun,' was the dunk tank at
last weekend's slo-pitch wind-up.

For a couple of bucks, people
were able to give their best throw
and try and dunk local notables
who donated their time and
warmth to take a plunge in the
chilly waters.

New Jersey Devil Claude Vil-
grain, Rossland-Trail MLA Ed
Conroy, and the Adminisftator
of the Kootenay Columbia
Child Care Society, Katrine
Conroy, all got wet to help out
the team.

Steelers come back to take slo-pitch wind-up

Margo Wright helped her team come back from their

the tourney title.

mitrager of the Steelers.

“We didn’t get down on our-
selves. The first game was over,
SO we got on with it and got on
the bats.”

‘Base hit after base hit.
You can't defend against that’

— TOM CAMBELL

Manager of the runner-up Unknowns.

It’s just that no one expects
them both to happen two weeks
before the end of August. And
that was okay with one tourney
organizer.

“I'd have liked to have seen
snow this weekend,” joked Tom
Campbell.

The Trail Steelers toughed it
out as the mercury dipped into
the single digits at the finals last
Sunday. They were undefeated
when they rolled into the finals.
The Unknowns would have to
win twice to take the title.

In the first game, the Steelers
came out flat, and only had two run-
ners cross the plate. The Unknowns

But the Steelers rallied back in
the second game, and showed
their usual form.

“Our bats came alive in the

every batter hit straight to the
holes. Victory was a matter of
team work, and all parts coming
together.

“It’s not always the 10 best
players that win for you,”
explained Mota, “It's the people
that get along and play well
together.

“That's half the battle.”

A long day caught up with the
Unknowns, and by the final game,
their sixth in a row since 9 a.m.

“Base hit after base hit. You
can't defend against that,” said
Campbell, wearing his other hat
last weekend as the Unknowns’
Manager. Slo-Pitch success is a
matter of out-hitting your opposi-
tion. But Campbell was only slight-
ly disappointed with the result.

“Hey, we'll take second
place.”

Nelson native to join newest NHL broadcast team

Nelson Daily News Staff

Danny Gare has joined the
fledgling Tampa Bay Lightning,
an NHL expansion team.

Gare, formerly of Nelson,
played with the Buffalo Sabres
until his retirement in the 1986-87
season. He joins the Lightning as a
color commentator for all the
Lightning telecasts on the Sun-
shine Network (35 games in 1992-
93) and the Lightning Television
Network, including WTOG-TV in
Tampa, Florida (10 games). He
‘will also be assisting the Lightning

ig dep in spr
ship and ticket sales.

“Danny will be a tremendous
asset to our organization,” Phil
Esposito, President and General
Manager of the Lightning said
“His personality, dedication and

Perseverance made him a success-
ful and popular player. Those same
characteristics will enable him to
help us successfully introduce the
game and reach a few fans.”

Gare will also be working
closely with the Lightning’s
youth street hockey program, as
well as a school program and

Since his retirement following
the 1986-87 season, Gare has made
his home in Buffalo, where he was
a member of the Sabres’ radio and
television broadcast crew.

Few players made as dramatic
debut as Gare. Drafted in the sec-
ond round of the 1974 Amateur
Draft by the Buffalo Sabres, Gare
scored a goal just 18 seconds into
his first NHL game, ironically
against Phil Esposito and the
Boston Bruins. He went om (&
become one of the most popular

players ever to wear a Sabres’
uniform, scoring 50 goals in
1975-76 and then tying for the
League lead with 56 in 1979-80.
He was also named to the NHL's
second all-star team in 1979-80.
At the age of 23, Gare was named
team captain, a post he held until
December 2, 1981 when he was
the key figure in the biggest trade
in Sabres’ history.

Gare went on to play four and
one-half seasons with the Red
Wings before completing his
NHL career in 1986-87 with the
Edmonton Oilers.

He retired from the NHL with
354 goals, 331 assists, and 684
points in 827 games. In 64 Stan-
ley Cup Playoff games, Gare net-
ted 25 goals and added 21 assists
for 46 points. In all, Gare had
nine 20-or-more goal seasons in
his 13-season career.

The Lightning will play their
first regular season game in

Sep after being
their franchise in December 1990.
