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

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,

and preserving the win.

The Reb- els swarmed around McFarland

‘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 game, however and at 12:17 Oliver tapped in a pass from John Caron to know the score again. But the Rebels went ahead to stay, just 53 seconds

Rossland’s Kelly McCabe and Rick Dominici and Rebels Bruno Tassone and Ken Schis- ler all received gaine mis- conducts. As well, Wilson and Rossland'’s Ron McDougall were given gross misconducts and had to sit out Saturday night's contest.

Other penalties through- out the game saw the Rebels sit out 11 of 16 minors, Dan Me- 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.

Pat Lilburn put the War. riors on the scoreboard midway through the final period, but Rossland could not contain the Rebels, who fired two more

Dave Kanigan and John Makaroff rounded out the Reb- els’ scoring,

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 play.

“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- ler and Dave Kirby, that line combined for eight goals in our last outing against Rossland.
