Totems pull team from ice, face disciplinary action

Fowler Cup series suspen

Kings 8 Smithers 3
Kings 3 Smithers 1

An incident involving Moe
Kmyta of the Prince Rupert
Atom Motor Kings and Chris
Dyer of the Smithers Totems
Sunday at the Civic Centre
arena served as the catalyst for
actions resulting in the tem-
porary suspension of the Fowler
Cup final series involving those
two clubs.

The series was suspended
when, with 8:50 gone in the
second period, the Totems
pulled their team off the ice
iotlowing referee Kim Black-
bum’s assessment of penalties
with regard to the Kmyta-Dyer
incident. .

Smithers, trailing 3-1 in the
game and 2-1 in the series as the
result of an 8-3 Saturday night
setback, placed themselves
under immediate suspension by
making such a move.

The matter is now in the
hands of the British Columbia
Amateur Hockey Association
and its president, Frank Spring.

Spring, in talking with the
Daily News, stated he expects
to make a. decision on’ the
situation by suesday,

He said he “would look into
the circumstances surrounding
the incident ... and after
studying the pros and cons of
the situation, make a decision.”

The BCAHA president also
stated that “isciplinary action

of some description would be
forthcoming, but he did not rule
oul the possibility of the series
resuming as scheduled.

The fifth game was originally
slated for Thursday night in
Smithers, with dates for games
six and seven, if necessary, yel
to be determined.

If the BCAHA disciplinary
action taken against the Totems
does not allow them to complete
the series, then Prince Rupert
will automatically be awarded
the Fowler Cup — their first
possession ever of the trophy
which goes to the Pacific North
West Hockey League playoff
champion.

Oddly enough, Sunday's game
was a much tamer affair than
the encounter of the preceeding
evening.

Up until the incident which
sparked the Totems’ with:

drawal, only eight minor.

penalties had been handed out,
although Dyer did receive a
misconduct penalty when he
protested a hooking penalty he
picked up early in the opening
stanza.

In comparison, one hundred
fifty-seven penalty minutes
(gight-six going to the Kings)
were dished out by referee Len
Trudeau in Saturday's contest.

Sunday, John Vaudry scored
the first two goals, both on the
power-play to vault the home
club into a 20 lead. by the

twelve-minute mark of the
opening frame.

Vaudry, playing the left point,
let goa wicked slap shot which
eluded Totems’ netminder Mike
Smithson with less than four
minutes gone, and then made it
24 eight minutes later when he
swung his own rebound high
into the net past a sprawling
Smithson, ;

Mike Vannier put the Kings in
front 30 with a short-handed
marker three minutes later but
Smithers closed the gap to 3-1
moments thereafter when Jim
McAloney’s long shot found its
way past a screened Jerry
Kurka.

As it turned out, McAloney’s
tally was thefinal marker of the
game — and possibly of the
series,

After the clubs played
through a tight-checking,
uneventful eight minutes at the
start of the second period,
Kmyta and Dyer got tangled up
at the side of the Kings’ goal.

The players fell to the ice,
with Kmyta on top, and as the
Kings’ defenseman started to
move away, the Smithers
player, from a prone position
and obviously upset about
something, high-sticked Kmy'ta,.
catching him either high on the
shoulder or on the helmet.

Kmyta then swung a gloved
righthand at Dyer, and ap
peared to hit him either on the
back or side of the helmet.

Dyer, who then struck his -

face on the ice as a result of the
blow, ended up, like Kmyta,
getting two minutes for
roughing, white the Rupert
player also got a five-minute
high-sticking penalty.

The Totems felt Kmyta
should have received a match
penalty for intent to injure, and
when it was not forthcoming
from referee Blackburn, they
left the ice.

Dyer was taken to hospital
following the incident and a

ihe night, and it was fitting that
he was the one-to pot it.

The Kings's most in-
spirational player this season,
Gillespie, along with netminder
Olmstead, came up with a
stellar performance in the
game, especially early in the
first period when the Kings
were almost constantly shor-

thanded.
Olmstead, for his part, held

Rupert in the game until they qa

got their offense rolling; the
veteran goaler was particularly
sharp on deflections from the

sticks of Butch Morris and’

George Lutz in the first period.
Armstrong, on his
breakaway, Don Pederson and
Russ Rerg'were the only
Smithers’ shooters to beat
Olmstead. .
Whilethe Kings now await the
BCAHA ruling to find out the
status of the Fowler Cup series,
they must still prepare them-
selves for the best-of-three
series this coming weekend in

round Coy Cup action.
