CURLING It's a Classic It'll be Davids versus Goliaths at the Smithers curling rink Dec, 11-14, Among the Davids will be Terrace’s own John Heighington and Ron Townley rinks. And the Goliaths? Try Ed ‘the Wrench’ Werenich, Kevin Martin, The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, December 2, 1992 - Page C3 Tricks score tourney TKO Don Cherry would have loved it. Two goals in 28 seconds followed by complete mayhem which resulted in the game being called | with 17 seconds left on the clock. That's how the Nov. 22 final of the Norm’s Auto- A All Scasons recreational hockey tournament ended. All Scasens and the Tricks from Kitimat had been Rick Folk, Pat Ryan and Vic Peters. Peters is the odd man out in that list, of course. He only finished second at the World Championships! That's the calibre our boys will be going up against in the Smithers Curling Classic. With $69,000 total prize money and a winners “purse of $25,000, the cash spicl is among the richest cash spiels in the world, So it’s not surprising it’s attracted so many B.C., Canadian and World champions. “The Jevel of competition will be second to none,’’ declares organizer Rick MacDermott.

Cup tour, Smithers’ timing has been just about perfect, “The total purse of tour events is $1.5 million,” he points out. ‘‘This is a chance for us to grow with the tour, Who knows where this will lead?”’ So if you want to watch some world class cuzl- ing live, and cheer on Terrace’s challengers, be at the Smithers curling club, Dec. 11-14. cvenly matched throughout, the Tricks holding a 2- Ledge as the teams went into the second and final 30 minute period. And that’s the way it stayed until the final minute despite the frequent promising attacks launched by both sides, With time running out and frustration mounting, tempers on both sides began to fray and dekes were increasingly replaced by dukes. Hard on the heels of the latest bout, a miscued clearance attempt by the All Seasons goalie allawed the Tricks to break in again, A scramble at the side of the net ended with the Tricks stuffing the puck in to Jead 3-1 with 45 seconds left in the game. f However, Kitimat’s celebration was cut short when All Seasons replied just 25 seconds later.
