Wednesday, December 11, 1991 One-way team gets 17-goal CRHL split News Staff Putting goals in the oppo- sition’s net has never been a problem for Castlegar Pres- sure in the Castlegar Recre- ational Hockey League. Keeping goals out if its own net is another story all togeth- er. Pressure Wash scored a to- tal of 17 goals in two games at the Community Complex over the week but got just one win. Pressure Wash scored eight times against Castlegar Sports Centre Monday but still needed more in an 11-8 loss. Against Woodland Park Shell Thursday, Pressure Wash scored nine goals but had to hold off Shell in the fi- nal minutes to escape with a one-goal win. In the other game over the week, Banjo’s Pub got a goal and two assists from Clay Martini to beat Kootenay Computers 6-4. League scoring leader Gord Walker, who provides much of the offensive punch for Pres- sure Wash on most nights, had three goals and two assists in the loss to Sports Centre, and four goals and one assist in the win over Shell. But Sports Centre’s Lorne Anderson outdid Walker with four goals and five assists, while Niki Hyson had hat trick and three helpers. Dwayne Weir scored twice and set up three while Dan Walker had. the other two goals for Sports Centre. Pressure Wash got two goals and two assists from Tom Trubetskoff, a goal and two assists from Sheldon Sookachoff and Steve Simo- nen, and a goal and an assist from George Roberts. Bob Larsh led Computers with a goal and three assists” in its loss to Banjo’s. Garry Sauer, Ralph Humphrey and Dave Terhune also scored for Computers. Ian Stewart, Frank Costa and Wayne Salekin also scored for Banjo’s. Shell got a two-goal, three assist performance from Al Staub in its loss to Pressure Wash, while Al Conroy had two goals and two assists. Total team effort gives Atoms win over Nelson News Staff Strong defence, outstand- ing individual performances and a solid team effort — the Castlegar Atoms No. 4 got ev- erything at team could ask for in a 15-7 road win over Nelson Nov. 30. Brian McCormack scored eight goals to lead Castlegar offensively, while Reed Byers had a hat trick. Ryan Byers scored twice for Castlegar while Chris Hutchi- Ceigar Pulp son and Aaron Bebelman had one each, Blueliners Mary Short, Mike Angrinon, Ian Mosby and Daniel Evdokimoff pro- vided tough defence in front of goaltender Bruce Davis.

Special Show for Employees’ Children — 12.and under SATURDAY Bi 14 DOORS OPEN 9:30 a.m. SHOW STARTS Rebels falter at Forks in road News Staff The Forks in the road once again led the Castlegar Rebels to defeat in the Koote- nay International Junior Hockey League last weekend. The Grand Forks Border Bruins beat the Rebels 8-4 in Grand Forks Saturday. It’s the fifth time in as many meetings this season the Border Bruins have beat- en the Rebels. The Rebels began the weekend with a 14-7 win Fri- day over the the Golden Rockets at the Community Complex. The Rebels, like the three other West Division teams, are feasting on East Division competition. But it’s the division-rival Border Bruins, the only team Castlegar hasn't beaten this year (excluding Spokane, who they haven't played), who re- main the Rebels nemesis this season. “We've beaten Nelson and Beaver Valley, and they've both beaten Grand Forks by big-goal spreads,” said Rebels veteran defenceman Dave Dybal. “So I don’t know what our problem is against them really.” Dybal said the loss was doubly dejecting in that it snapped the Rebels six-game unbeaten streak and kept them one game below .500 at 8-9. “I can’t pinpoint it, the -coach (Kevin Cheveldave) can’t pinpoint it. They always seem to come out flying against us and have a pretty commanding lead in the first period.” Dybal and the Rebels have this week to think about it be- fore getting another crack at Grand Forks in the Complex Saturday. Dybal said the Rebels are under no illusi as to the importance of the game. “We have to beat them, it’s ado or die situation.” The Rebels play the Nelson Maple Leafs in Nelson Fri- day. The Rebels have four games in hand on Beaver Val- ley and the Border Bruins and two in hand on Nelson. Against the Rockets, Dy- bal said the Rebels got away with a bad game because the competition was so weak. SAT., DEC. 14TH Castlegar Complex 6°": Early Bird 7°"Reg.

Another killer was the loss of Rory Perrier, who fouled-out at the beginning of the fourth quarter with 16 points. “That hurt us big time,” Closkey said. Rhonda Dawes had 14 points against Fernie and played “super,” said Closkey. Wendy Closkey had 11 points and Laurel Closkey had nine. Kelly Davidoff, who usual- ly can be counted on for 15 to 20 points a game, “had a bit of an off game” against Fernie with just four points. Oestrich was named the tourney’s most valuable play- er, while Laurel Closkey was one of five players named to the all-star team.

Skip Otto Walker and third Otto Anderson make up half the rink that has com- piled a 5-0 record and leads the second draw at the at the Castlegar Curling Club. Lead George Moxam and second Frank Steenvoorden round out the Otto rink. Steenvoorden was also on the winning rink in the first draw. Allin all a talented rink in more ways than one, as Walker is also known as one of the best senior golfers in Castlegar — one of the best low gross shooters. Anderson is another octo- genarian , which, as has been mentioned before, is not a se- rious condition. The Ottos rule the draw so far, but they are being hotly pursued by the Archambault and Molnar rinks, which have lost just once. McGillivray’s rink has on- ly one loss and one tie in five outings.

The senior Rockettes beat Seng 47-26 to advance to the fi- nal. Davidoff had nine points to lead SHSS in an uncharacter- istically low-scoring game in senior basketball. “Yeah, it was a funny game,” Closkey said. “We just didn’t score like we usually do, we missed layup after layup after layup, it was ridiculous.” In their opening game of the tourney, SHSS demolished L.V. Rogers of Nelson 85-18. Davidoff had 20 points, Per- rier had 14 and Laurel Closkey had 12 in the win over LVR. The senior girls are in Cal- gary this weekend for a 24- The SHSS senior boys hit the road early in the season with a three-game swing on the coast last weekend. The boys returned home with two wins, a loss and some praise from coach John Ritchie to show for their efforts. The Rockers beat Princeton 66-49 Thursday night, then lost to a AAA school out of Steveston 87-48 Friday, before beating Mission 51-48 the next day. Seniors carried most of the weight offensively for the Rockers as Dan Kooznetsoff, Marcel Dusseault and Bob Baulne were consistently in double figures. Kooznetsoff put up the best one-game numbers of the trip with 22 points against Prince- ton. The senior boys warmed up for the trip with a 66-51 win over J.L Crowe in Trail Wednesday night. Ritchie said he was im- pressed with the play of junior Jeff Moffat, who had 10 points against in the win over Crowe.
