Sannutti vocal about all-star game ban

Sterling News Service and Sun staff

Speaking mildly, Castlegar Rebels centreman Chris Sannutti wasn't happy.

Sannutti was banned from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League's all-star game, January 25, because of a three game suspension he received on January 18.

“T think it stinks,” Sannutti said. “It wasn't a league game, just an exhibition.”

The spearing incident: came in Castlegar against Beaver Valley.

Sannutti doesn't agree with the severity of the call.

“He [the Nite Hawk speared] had my stick and wouldn't let go,” Sannutti said. “I yanked it to pull away and he fell down. The ref called it and gave me three

8.

Sannutti was the only Rebel to make the team. He was supposed to play centre on the second line.

His parents even flew out from Philidelphia to watch their son but ended up disapointed.

Two Rebels did make the trip as coaches selections

Nino Da Costa was to accom- pany Sannutti but Mike Hunter filled in.

The all-star game went last Saturday in Spokane.

The game showcased the league's best goaltenders shutting down the circuit’s top shooters as the West Division squeezed out a 3-2 win over the best in the East Division.

The game matched Beaver Val- ley Nite Hawk Scott Rideout and Brian Jones of the Nelson Maple Leafs splitting the duties guarding the West Division's net while the Elk Valley Raiders’ Shawn Valikos-

“ht was a fast-paced game with some great goaltending,” said Nelson's assistant coach Rob Wright who shared the duties behind the bench with Sam Skin« ner, coach of the Grand Forks

Border Bruins.

Wright had high praise for the four Beaver Valley representatives at the game, Rideout, Darren Moon, Noel Macri and Myles Smith.

“Moon did really well. He played steady throughout the

That set the stage for Tom Maryschak of Grand Forks tp score the eventual winner with less than five minutes a in the game.

Cage Bowl a welcome trip for SHSS seniors

JIM ZEEBEN Sun staff

- rs

The cream always rises to the top, but sometimes it forms thick- er than others.

Last weekend, both senior bas- ketball teams from Stanley Humphries Senior Secondary fin- ished first at the J.L Crowe Cage Bowl. But the way they did it was a good indicator of the depth of both clubs.

The senior girls have been ona tear all season, improving as they play, and earning a third place ranking in the province.

The Rockettes showed just

how strong they've become by beating the Fernie Falcons 52-38 in theig firdt game..It was a rematch of the championship game at the Blue and Gold tour- nament December.7..

In that game, held at SHSS, it was Fernie who came out ahead.

This time around the Rockettes picked up an easy win.

“Since then, we've improved a lot more than they have,” said Rockettes coach Jack Closkey Despite the win, Closkey didn’t think his club played to the level of which they are capable.

Kelly Davidoff regained some of the scoring touch she showed early in the season, scoring 16

points and making the all-star Aeam. Laurel Closkey, the most

‘all: year, ‘pitked up 11 points-on her way to MVP honors.

In their next game, the Castle- gar girls didn’t get a chance to push their limits as they played J.L. Crowe's junior girls team—a last minute fill-in.

Davidoff again led the team in a game in which all players scored. She had 25 points and Laurel had 17 as the Rockettes won 85-25.

“The girls are good at dealing with a team like that, we've played in a few,” the Rockettes coach said. “It gave us a chance

Rebels tattered line-up gets its due

Cinderella walked into a truck last week, as the Castlegar Rebels had a three game winning surge demolished by the Nelson Maple Leafs.

The Rebels were without offensive guns Chris Sanutti and Kevin Nisse—both suspended for three games due to seperate spearing penalties in a game on January 18. Other players were suffering from a variety of mal- adies.

“You can’t play in this league

‘It was pretty much of a collapse. We were beat even worse than the score indicated’

— GORD WALKER Rebels coach

|

The Rebels, in last place all season, had begun to play inspired hockey under new coach Gord Walker.

After losing 11 straight games, Castlegar suddenly looked like a new team. They won three in a row, including a come-from behind overtime win against Beaver Valley Nite Hawks.

But then the emotion ran out And with a line-up dilapidated by suspensions and injuries Castle- gar was pounded 6-1 by the Leafs, Friday in Nelson.

“It was pretty much of a col- lapse.” said Walker, who has only had two practises with the team. “We were beat even worse than the score indicated.”

The coach said his club could only muster two lines and four defenceman for the

Nelson, meanwhile, played with a full roster.

with only two lines,” Walker said. “We'll have Sanutti and Nisse back and if we can get three lines going it will help a lot.”

The Rebels expect Dustin Ril- coff to be back on a regular shift, and defenceman Chris Babakaiff is coming off mono.

It was Walker's first look at the

Maple Leafs, who currently sit a.

top the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League standings. The two teams are back at it, this Saturday in Castlegar.

“Nelson has a pretty good team,” he said. “But I really believe we can win on Saturday.”

Walker praised his players for their win against Beaver Valley, saying they showed character playing with a weakened line-up. However, he also said both teams came out dull.

“It was one of the worst games I've watched in a long time,” Walker said. “But that’s why a lot of these kids are in Junior A: the consistancy isn’t there. The quali- ty of play varies from night to night.”

The Rebels will finish the sea- son where they started—in last place. The one positive aspect to it [it’s a little lame) but the Rebels aren't fighting for a position in the standings. Because every team makes the play-offs in the KIJHL, Castlegar can concentrate on the next round.

“We're gearing up for Nelson,” Walker said. “They look like the best team I've seen—they were flying.”

to try different things and practise different shots.”

The domination coptinued as ,

the SHSS Bi#ls wound up the round robin tournament with a 60-29 walk over the senior girls from Crowe. Laurel and Denise Gray led scorers with 10 points each.

Again coach Closkey said the game gave his team a chance to experiment. It also gave some of the team’s non-starters a chance to pick up more experience

But the coach worried the lack of intensity might slow the team down in future games.

“The problem playing too many games against weaker

teams is that you might lose your competitive edge,” said Closkey.

The Rockettes have. their toughest tournament of the. year ahead of them as they play in ** on ** . SHSS plays its first game against Salmon Arm Senior See- ondary—currently ranked num- ber one in B.C. in triple A.

“They'll beat us up pretty good,” said the Rockettes coach. “The tournament looks like a real challenge.”

Most of the teams will be in triple A. One team that isn’t— Westsyde, a double A school from Kamloops—is currently

ranked second in B.C., just ahead See CAGE BOWL 10A

The Rockettes Rory Perrier couldn't stop Fernie when the two teams met earlier in the season. But last week- end's Cage Bow! at J.L. Crowe was a different story.
