rough stuff after they got a
little tired of chasing the
Czechs in the third period

and surrendered a 7-2 loss. ©

In Kitimat, the game
drew.an estimated 1500 fans
to Tamitik despite a sudden

’ snowstorm that kept a large
.proup of Terrace fans at

’ home. .

The Kitimat junior B

team was really up for the «

game as they wanted to
show their home crowd they
could play with the
international squad. It
turned out that goaltenders

Floyd Reinfjeli and Ross -

Smith held the Hawks in the
game, though, as the Czechs
seemed to hold a wide
advantage in territorial
Play.

Kitimat got off to a fast
start, though, scoring the
first goal of the game at
11:53 of the first period
when Steve Nelson's
slapshot from the right wing

. managed to dribble in past

the Czech goaltender after
hitting his equipment.

as-‘Milan Huluk scored with
two and.a half minutes
remaining. The Czechs
autshot Kitimat 17-9 in the

first period.

goals as they finally started
putting the puck past the

game star for Kitimal,

while Kapusta was picked —

as the top Czech player In
the game. .

Jay Glass had a. goad
game for Kitimat, although
it was frustrating as he hit
two goalposts, one in the
third period that might have
tied the game. Kitimat alao
had a chance ‘in the first
period to go ahead as the
puck went into the Czech net
after a scuffie in front of the
Czech net. The goal was
disallowed.
