SOURS ae Sous This group of young players was part of the 13-team lineup in the Terrace Christmas atom minor hockey tournament, shown here during the Dec. 27 opening ceremonies. iy wo be Pepe? tree rR ae ‘Hello, good-bye’ trip for Michelle Hendry Simon Fraser University basketball star Michelle Hendry came home to Terrace at Christ- mas, but it was one of those hello-goodbye trips’ where she played a couple of exhibition games, spent time with her fami- ly and renewed old friendships before heading back to the hoop wars on Dec. 27. In our brief conversation with her, Michelle told us that al- though her team has an overall record of seven wins and four losses (five-and-one in league play), she doesn’t feel she’s off to as great a start as last season. ‘““Maybe they’ve got my Number,’’ she said in explaining the double and triple-teaming opponents have thrown up in de- fending against her skills. But she felt the Christmas break would be a big help in put- ting her game back together. “I’m certainly looking for- ward to our trip to the Bahamas to start the new year. It’s a big international college series and I expect that warm weather will boost my efforts.” It’s a long season for Michelle - with college ball from late Sep- tember continuing through to playoffs in March. Then it’s off to the Canadian National team where she’s now carded as one of the best players in Canada. Play with the Nats keeps her Sportsmanship stressed busy throughout most of the summer. ; Academically, Michelle is do- ing fine — all the games and workouts are not preventing her from keeping‘up a'solid average. — She is studying kinesiology — functions of the body which should lead up to a physio-. therapy degree. Her hope for the future is a job with the national team as physiotherapist once she hangs up her sneakers in a few years. As for the immediate future, she'll likely be adding to the vast collection of honors and awards she’s already accumulated as she enters her 20’s.
