B4 Terrace Review — Wednesday, May 1, 1991

Flaherty home for summer,

reviewing career options

Terrace’s Wade Flaherty is
back home from his second

season a$ a goaltender in pro

hockey. Unlike his award-
winning effort, the previous
season with Greensboro Monar-
chs of the Eastern Pro League,
‘he spent a rather dismal year this
past season with Kansas City of
the International League.

It’s not that he didn’t get the
playing time. 7

‘““When I went to K-C it was a
higher standard of play than
Greensboro and I went in as a
rookie figuring I’d probably
wind up playing about 20
games,” Wade told us when he
arrived home last week.

Such was not the case — he
wound up playing 57 of the
team’s §2-game schedule. ‘“This
includes three games in three
nights on occasion,”’ he said.

Despite statistics in the
neighbourhood of 4.37 goals-
against per game, and a shot
average of 86.5, Flaherty’s men-
tors were quite pleased with his
efforts.

Unfortunately, K-C finished
last in their division and out of
the playoffs.

After last season, Wade sign-
ed a three-year contract with the
NHL’s expansion San Jose en-

try, during playoffs with
Greensboro last spring.

The pact was for two years
plus an option. However, due to
San Jose not playing this season,
his contract had him compen-
sated financially for play in the
minors.

Recently, San Jose signed a
deal with Kansas City for K-C to
act as their farm team for the
next three years.

With NHL’s despersal draft
coming shortly, Wade won’t be
the lone goalie owned by San
Jose. The complicated deal that
also involves Minnesota North
Stars will likely see San Jose get
one of Minnesota’s netminders,
plus another from their farm
system.

during the season.

Jennifer Smyth and her Terrace petite ringette team recently
finished their season under the sponsorship of the Order of the
Royal Purple. OORP members Shirley Townsend and Sue Ferretti
recently presented crests to the team to acknowledge their efforts

Until June 1, Wade could sign
on with another NHL squad.
That’s the date he’s supposed to
sign for next year. ‘Actually
I’m a free agent right now with
the right to take a better deal
with someone else,” according
to Flats.

It seems he’ll be staying in the
new organization, even though
San Jose will also be picking up
a couple of veteran goalies in the
expansion draft.

They may even take some in
the rookie draft, but that
doesn’t bother Wade. ==

Like Jeff Sharples (the other
Terrace pro), Flaherty has some
options. The entire situation
should be cleared up in a few
weeks.

at nationals

— Ontario fighters came away
with most of the gold, silver and
bronze medals at April 20 week-
end’s Canadian National Junior
Boxing championships at Sar-
nia, Ontario, but Terrace and
Prince Rupert managed to pick
up their share of the goodies.

Fourteen-year-old Joey Losier
of Terrace made it to the final of
his 119-pound open class and
lost out on the gold medal by
one point,

Losier scored a second-round

knockout in his first bout, then

won his semi-final on a 3-1 deci-
sion.

At the end of Losier’s gold
medal match, computers scoring
the bout had it tied in points.
Judges then reverted to the
10-point “must”? system which
saw Joey a one-point loser. He
wound up with the silver medal.

Darren Bell, in the 147-pound

class, drew a bye to start, In his
first fight, Darren lost a close
11-6 computerized decision. The

loss put him in the spectator

status. | ;

Losier, by the way, was up
against an Opponent two years
older. This same opponent was a
two-time gold medallist for the
previous two championships.

Another star of the Northwest
was Brian Kohun of Prince
Rupert. He won his first bout on
a 4-1 decision, then came out
with the bronze medal in the
semi-final of his division.

Coach Jeff Dilley was most
pleased with his team and ex-
pects greater things at next
year’s finals.

Will Cerveras, another B.C.
fighter from the interior, weigh-
ed in at 188 pounds. He battled
the only other heavyweight from
the east and won the gold on a
first-round knockout.
