The eight team draw also allows us to invite two. additional ‘teams ‘which the local fans: might not see during the regular season. With Friday's four winners advancing to the championship round andthe four losers going into the consolation round all games will be meaningful and competition should be keen for all final positions.” Tournament ‘83 will feature some old familiar faces as well as some new teams: LAURIE TIGERETTES Not only ‘have Coach Ray DeAnna’s Tigerettes won the last four Hi-Arrow Classics in a row, but last year they won the B.C. Junior Girls Provincial Championships as well. Led by Leigh McGovern: and Ann Barr, the Tigerettes will display their usual stingy defense and patient, well-drilled offense. Look for the Laurie girls to be quietly effective and fundamentally solid. DAVID THOMPSON LAKETTES Coach Shelley Atwell's Invermere squad finished second to Laurie last year and ve most of last season's Dave Langevin added to squad | » MONTREAL (CP) — ‘one of New York Islanders’ less- heralded veterans and a former Islander who had to leave to get recognition have made the Prince of Wales ,squad for the 35th National ‘Hockey League all-star game.

A highlight in club curling occured last Thursday night, when Lorne Trickey's rink achieved an eight-ender. Al- though this was the second time for Lorne, it was similar to being struck twice by lightning, and Lorne must have had some interesting thoughts as he settled into the hack to draw his last rock to the eight foot circle and the perfect score. Third Lyle Roberts, second Stan Part- ridge, and Forrest Drinnan at lead, along with Lorne, will receive sweaters from Craven A to mark their ac- complishment. A few familiar faces will be missing from the rink during February. The Dale Hockley rink wil be in Vernon for the B.C. Police Provincial com- petition. ing i who play host for the all-star game next Tuesday’ night at Nassau Coliseum, was added to the Wales team Tuesday by Is- lander coach Al Arbour. So was right winger Hector Marini, dealt to New Jersey Devils by the Islanders prior to the season. 4 “I was very surprised,” said Langevin. “I've only got 10 points this season. “I didn’t think Al would do it. I really didn't expect this but I've given my best and my teammates knew I was giving my best.” The addition of Langevin and centre Bryan Trottier gives Arbour four Islanders on his squad. The others are starting defenceman Denis Potvin and right winger Mike Bossy. Marini, who has 15 goals and 34 points including three winning goals for the lowly Devils, was just as thrilled. “It's a shock . . . un- believable,” said Marini. “I always said Al was a great coach. “It’s good to know someone from Sudbury.” Both Marini and Arbour are natives of Sudbury, Ont. Also added to the Wales’ team were: forwards, Don Maloney of New York Rang- ers, Darryl Sittler of Philad- elphia Flyers, Rick Kehoe of Pittsburgh Penguins and Ron Francis of Hartford Whalers; and defenceman Mike Ram- sey of Buffalo Sabres. Joining. the Clarence Campbell Conference squad as additional selections by Vancouver Canucks coach Roger Neilson, who will han- dle the Campbell team, were: defencemen Bob Murray of Chicago Black Hawks and Willie Huber of Detroit Red Wings; and forwards Neal Broten and Tom McCarthy of, Minnesota North Stars, Jari Kurri of Edmonton Oilers, Brian Sutter of St. Louis Blues, Rick Vaive of Toronto Maple Leafs and Marcel Di- onne of Los Angeles Kings.
