Hockey League but not before Woodland Park Shell came up with yeoman effort to almost steal it away.

Shell beat Sandman Inn 12-6 in the final game of the round-robin format playoffs at the Community Complex Saturday night to come up two goals short of taking the title.

Shell had two tasks going into the game with Sandman: First, they had to win it to complete the playoffs with the same 3-1 record as Hi Arrow. And second, because goals for an against are used to break a tie and decide the championship, Shell had to win the game by eight goals or more.

Shell completed the first task but came up two goals short in the second only because of an unselfish display of sportsmanship.

Powered by a five-goal two-assist Performance from playoff MVP Rod Fayant, and a hat-trick by Bruno Tassone, Shell had actually tied Hi Arrow in the goals for and against stat- istic with under two minutes to go in the game against Sandman.

pull goaltender Dan Wallace and go for the winning goal.

The move backfired when San- dman’s Clay Martini scored the goal that gave Hi Arrow the champion- ship, his third of the game, with one second left to make the store 12-6 for Shell -- two short of a winning margin.

Hi Arrow addes the playoff cham- pionship to the regular season title for a 1989/90 double in the CRHL.

The other two teams didn’t go home empty handed from the Com- plex as Fayant took home the MVP award and Sandman’s Ian Stewart was selected most sportsmanlike player. The awards were-presented in ceremonies after the game.

Sandman went into the game with Shell without a win in the playoffs but after the first period Saturday it looked like that might change.

Martini and Vince Antignani scored to give Sandman a 2-0 lead which it held until five minutes to go in the period when Shell’s Dan Walker took a relay from Kelly

This is women’s hockey as never seen before.

A sport that a decade ago struggled to attract players and find ice time takes the, international stage this week in a world championship.

“When I started I never would have believed there would ever be-a national championship for women, let among a world event,”’ said Shirley Cameron, a 37-year-old centre from Edmonton who will compete in the first women’s ice hockey world championship in Ottawa.

“*Looking back I never would have thought it was possible,"’ added Kim

Kootenay,

Keraiff and Kevin Kirby to score, cut- ting the lead in half.

Stewart restored Sandman’s two- goal lead before the period was out, converting passes from Lorne Ander- son and Martini and it appeared as if the championship was going to be Hi Arrow’s uncontested.

But Shell served notice in the second that it wasn’t going to be that easy as Fayant scored three in a row, Bruno Tassone added two —- in- cluding a penalty shot —- and Jason Hughes another, to propel Shell into a 7-5 lead.

Antignani and Magtini responded for Sandman which was overh- whelmed by the Shell on slaught.

Shell added to its half-dozen second-period goals with five in the third with Fayant collecting two more, Hughes getting his second, Kirby his first, and Tassone com- pleting his héftrick with under two minutes remaining to make it 12-5 and decision time for Shell.

Had Shell decided to go to a second tiebreaker —- which is the fewest penalties minutes in thé playoffs -- Shell would have won with 44 minutes to Hi Arrow’s 52 minutes.

Canada, Sweden, West Germany, Japan, the United States, Finland, Norway and Switzerland will compete to become the first women’s hockey champion recognized by the Inter- national Ice Hockey Federation.

Canada, wearing uniforms em- blazoned with bright pink maple leaves, played Monday night again- st Sweden, then plays Germany on today and Japan on Thursday before the weekend playoffs.

It's a tough job as NHL enforcer

TORONTO (CP) — Pity the enfor- cers of the National Hockey League.

“They have the most difficult job in hockey,” said sports psychologist Cal Botterill of Winnipeg. ‘They live by the sword and they die by the sword,

“It’s the law of the jungle. It’s only @ matter of time before somebody bigger and stronger comes along and takes them out."”

Just about every NHL team has an enforcer on the roster, and another waiting in the minors. Their role is simple: intimidate, then fight. Or fight, then intimidate. It works both ways.

The majority look rough and tough, the kind of guy you wouldn't want to meet in a back alley. But in- side, say Botterill and other experts, many members of the NHL's enforcer fraternity are sensitive souls.

“Off the ice, they’re totally dif- ferent people, caring people, family people," says Botterill, who works with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Canadian Olympic team. ‘‘What they do on the ice is something that does not come naturally to them.

“Over the course of a career, it can produce tremendous guilt feelings. They’re much more prone to burnout because of the intense emotional

situation. It takes a toll, And it tran- slates to off-ice difficulties,

‘Overton has scored in the double digits in three of her five draws thus far and her rink has yet to be seriously threatened.

Addison had a tough time slipping past Denmark 7-5 in Tuesday's mor- ning draw but the Scottish skip rebounded to slam Germany 9-2 in the evening round.

Sweden trailed the leaders at 4-1, followed by Norway and the United States at 3-2, France at 2-3, Denmark and Switzerland at 1-4 and winless Germany and Italy.

While Overton ha§ been streaking through the competition, Dean

Joanisse of Victoria has been plod- ding to a 41 record and second place in the men’s standings.

The Canadian men defeated the United States 5-4 Tuesday afternoon, employing a defensive hitting game to keep the aggressive Americans in check, then needing the hammer to draw for the winning point in the 10th end.

“It’s definately our toughest game so far,"’ said Joanissee, 18. Canada is second behind defending world champion Peter Lindholm of Sweden, who defeated Finland 9-2 Tuesday night to remain undefeated in five draws.

The Canadians were helped by unexpected upsets of Norway and Scotland.

Dickerson will pay

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- If Eric Dickerson decides to retire from football, he will have to pay the Colts more_than $1 million US, general manager Jim Irsay said Tuesday.

Irsay’s comments at a news con- ference at Colts headquarters followed statements by Dickerson that he would rather quit football than stay in Indianapolis.

Dickerson’s contract with the team was structured to give the Colts “tremendous protection’’ should he decide not to play, Irsay said

Dickerson, a perennial Pro Bowl running back who came to the Colts after a dispute with the Los Angeles

Rams in 1987 —- one of the biggest swaps in NFL history —- has one year left on his contract and Irsay said the Colts expect him to honor it.

Reports of Dickerson’s contract in 1987 said the running back had a series of four one-year pacts running through the 1990 season.

Dickerson, who first dropped hints of retirement on a television talk show last fall, finished the season with 1,311 yards rushing, third-best in the NFL, despite a nagging hamstring in- jury and constant pounding by op- ponents.

He indicated one reason for his decision was the inability of the of- fensive line to protect him.

EASY TO FIGURE To determine the rate for aerobic exercises such as biking, swimming or running, experts suggest the

Subtract your age from 220, then take 72 and 87 per cent of that figure. That gives you two numbers — the low and high ends of the appropriate range.

“For these people, during exercise, it’s critical for them not to go above the rates that are set for them, otherwise they may be endangering their health.””

So the answer is to keep constant pulse checks.

WAYS TO CH

Checking the pulse is most often done manually — by using the fingers to find the pulse at the side of the throat or on the wrist, beats for 10 or 15 seconds, and then multiplying by six or four to calculate the per-minute rate.

But there's a trend toward the use of heart- monitoring equipment, readouts of pulse rates.
