inches of snow annually, it’s not uncommon to be
skiing on 5 or 6 inches of new snow. A few
pointers for skiing new snow; .
*Distribute your weight evenly over both skis,
This will allow you to displace the snow without
catching a ski edge while turning.
*Think about being balanced over your skis with
even pressure along the entire length of your foot.
_ This will help you remain balanced in every turn.
*Finally, it’s important to use aggressive
extension and flexion of your legs to help in the
displacement of snow.
Putting these hints to work in your turns will
help you to ski in powder and other types of
snow.

Promising year for local pros

According to half-seasan statis-
tics, the young men from our area

who seek pro hockey fame are

doing just fine. In a list covering
B.C. players last week, we find the
names of five players from this
area,

Prior to the Jan. 23 loss to
Toronto (4-3), New York Islander
netminder , Mark Fitzpatrick
appeared to be fully. recovered
from last season’s muscle disorder
and was back in the NHL after
some American Hockey League
rehabilitation,

Two-week-old _ statistics
showed him with 239 minutes
played, 10 goals scored against, a
2.51 goals against average, plus a
two-win and two-loss mark with
no shutouts. Barring a relapse,
Fitzpatrick seems to be well on his

way to resuming his major career.

Terrace’s Wade Flaherty, our
other goaltending prospect,
belongs to San Jose Sharks of the
NHL but is playing this season
with Kansas City Chiefs in the
International League. He was
recently named to the league’s all-
Star team. |

Wade has played 26 pames and
holds a 3.01 goals-against average,
He has an 18-win, seven-loss
record (with one tie). Flaherty has
played 1,575 minutes and has
given up 79 goals.

Dale Kushner, the Terrace-
Smithers product, performs with
the AHL’s Hershey Bears after
flirting in the majors for a couple
of years. In 41 games he had six
goals and five assists for 11
points. Kush also has 88 penalty

minutes. .

Defenceman Rudy Poeschuk
now toils with the AHL’s Monc-
ton franchise. Rudy has played 34
games, has.a scoring mark of three
and eight (11 points) and has been
fingered for 109 minutes in penal-
ties. |

As for Terrace's Jeff Sharples,
the big defenceman is back in
hockey after half-a-season work-
ing on his pizza business in Van-
couver.

Jeff was contacted by New
York Islanders, who offered him a
10-game tryout with their AHL _
Capital District squad (the same
team Mark Fitzpatrick was work-
ing out with to regain his NHL
ability). In nine games he had one —
goal and three assists, plus eight
penalty minutes,
