A jubilant Castlegar Rebel
team returned home Monday
night having downed the Ross-
land Jr. Warriors 13-1, their
fourth win in the semi-finals of
the Kootenay International
Junior Hockey League.

Wednesday night in the.

first game of the seven-game
semi-final, the Rossland Junior
Warriors surprised a lot of
people and put up a valiant
effort, but were unable to
contain their opponents,in the
third period, as the Castlegar
Rebels skated to a 4-2 victory
on home ice.

The Warriors held on to a
slim 1-0 lead for most of the
first two periods, but began to
tire in the third, The Rebels
tallied three times in the final
20 minutes to take the win.

By far the most outstand-
ing player of the game was
Rossland netminder Dan Mc-
Farland, who left the crowd
gasping with’ his acrobatics
between the pipes. Many times
he thwarted the Rebels on what
seemed like sure goals. Mc-
Farland blocked 52 shots in
total as the Castlegar Rebels
outshot the visitors 14-6 in the
first and 24-9 in the second
frame.

Rick Woodhouse opened
the scoring early in the opening
period with the first goal of his
junior hockey career. The

later, when Makaroff notehed
an unassisted marker.

Bozek scored the insurance
marker on a weary McFarland
at 16:11 on another solo effort
in which the Rossland netmind-
er was completely screened by
several players,

The Rebels outshot Ross-
land 52-28 and were assessed
nine of 19 minor penalties,

Friday's contest was score-
less after the firat frame. Steve
Bozek put the Rebels on the
scoreboard at 12:06 of the
middle period, but the Warriors
eame back and John Caron tied
it up just one minute later.

Bruce Martin put the Reb-
els ahead ‘again at 14:57,
sending his team to the dress-
ing room with a 2-1 lead after
two periods.

Martin scored what proved
to be the winner just 53 seconds
gone in the final period, putting
the Rebels up by two. But
Bruce McKay put Rossland
back in the game at 16:45 and
the Warriors put the pressure
on until the final buzzer,

Both Jim Godfrey and
Mike Oliver had breakaways in
the final minute of the game,
but Rebel netminder Chris
Vianich rose to the occasion,

-foiling both scoring attempts

and preserving the win.

some exciting hockey on the
part of both clubs as first
Rossland and then Castlegar
applied the pressure. The Reb-
els swarmed around McFarland

"several times, doing everything

but putting the puck in the net.

‘The Warriors also missed a
golden opportunity midway
through the period when Hloo-
koff went down but couldn't
smother the puck. The net was
open and the puck loose, but
the Warriors just couldn't get a
shot away.

With less than two minutes
to go, Brian Verigin let loose
with a blast from the point that

The Rebels’ persistence
paid off, however, when John
Makaroff took a pass from Ron
Sherstobitoff and tucked it into
the net to even the count at 1-1
and draw a standing ovation
from an enthusiastic crowd.

The bruising pace of the
first two periods began to tell
on both clubs in the final 20
minutes. The Rebels drew
blood with a mere 80 seconds
goneas Bruno Tassone circled
the Rossland net and dumped
the puck to Steve Bozek in
front. Bozek tapped it in to give
the home team a 2-1 lead.

The Warriors were still

Oliver tapped in a pass from
John Caron to know the score

Bruno Tassone and Ken Schis-

Other penalties through-
out the game saw the Rebels sit

Farland again played a strong
game for the Warriors, block-
ing 40. shots, while Chris
Vianich stopped 28,

Saturday the teams again
battled to a scoreless tie after
the first period. McFarland had
to block 14 shots, many of them
sensational,

It wasn't until 19:64 that
the scoreless. deadlock was
broken, when Castlegar's Glen
Sorenson found the mark. The.
Rebels built up a two-goal lead
after Gord Pace scored several
minutes later.

Dave Kanigan and John

McFarland had another
busy night in goal, making 51
saves, while Rick Hlookoff
stopped 23 in the Castlegar
nets. It was a cleanly-played
game, with Castlegar sitting
out five of seven minor penal-
ties,

Rossland's second penalty
was a costly one, since the’
Rebels scored what proved to
be the winner on that power

“The return of Tim Paul
has given us a little relief on
left-wing, takirig some pressure
off of Gord Pace. Put on the
left-wing spot with Ken Schis-

combined for eight goals in our
last outing against Rossland.

“Overall, I think the de-

its potential, most noticeable in

the Rossland rink. 1 felt they -

“Like any .playoff series,

has probably been our best
rookie forward. He is playing
