took on one, five, 15 or 30 kilometre
courses.

The event saw 73 eager skiers partici-
pate and raise $2045.40 for the B.C. and
Yukon Heart and Stroke Foundation.
That's $969 more than raised last year.

The first racer in was Jake Blix, 5,
who covered the one kilometre children’s
course in 11 minutes 51 seconds. -- -

Andrew Horwood . topped the men,

doing the 30 km route in 1:36:01, with |

the playoffs get
underway.

The Feb. 25 match up saw Team Blue
look for a win against Team White. It was
a good thing for White that this game was
of no consequence, because Blue ham-
mered them by a score of 9-3. Erie Hull
had a good night, scoring three goals for
Blue in the winning cause.

Blue returned to the ice the following
night taking on Team Red. Red opened
the scoring at 11:05 on Chris Webb’s
eighth goal of the season. Red carried the
momentum for most of the period, and at
3:07 they struck again. Shawn Barg set up
Sean Casper who scored to improve the
Red lead to 2-0. Red continued early in
the second when Mike Scarborough
scored his 10th of year.

But, Red's train de-railed at 7:57 when
Blue got on the board. Branden Green set
up Brendan Harris who scored to make it
3-1. Brian Todd, Chris Schlenker, and
Branden Green each picked up back to
back goals and suddenly Blue was in
front 4-3 after two. They continued in the
third, with Green scoring his second of
the game to put his team in front 5-3.

Red wasn’t about to let the game get
away yet. At 7:17, Chris Webb scored his
second of the game and cut the Blue lead
to 5-4, setting up an exciting finish to this
hockey game, Red was pressing to tie in
the final minutes, but left Blue’s Devon
Mercer wide open. Teammate Bryan
Bandstra fed Mercer who went down the
ice and made no mistake beating the Red
goaltender. The goal capped off a game
in which Blue scored five unanswered

_ goals en route to Red’s demise. 6-4.

JAKE Blix, 5, is the first to cross the
the finish line Feb, 23 after skiing the
one kilometre course in 11 minutes
51 seconds..PAT CARSON PHOTO,

First place in the boys and girls 5 km
were David Graham in 0:28:48 and Ma-
deline Kuppers in 0:46:37,

Championship game looms

Team White took on Red in Feb. 28’s
game. Both teams had lost one and
looked to avoid going winless in this final
week of regular season play.

Opening the scoring in the game was
Red’s Sean Casper. It wasn’t long before
the score changed. At 9:56, Red went up
2-0 on a goal from Mike Scarborough.

Not even a minute later, Casper scored
his second of the game, and within a two-
minute time frame Red grabbed three
goals to take an early, commanding lead.
White finally got on the board at 3:51
when Ken Eyjolfson scored his 38th of the
season. But Red scored with 39 seconds
left in the first to regain their 3-goal lead.

The second saw White narrow the
score ance again on Dan Matthews’ 21st
of the season. What a goal too, as Mat-
thews came right in tight an the Red
goaltender and put the puck top-
shelf. Red simply wouldn’t let White get
any closer than within two goals of
them. With 1:59 left in the middie frame,
Chris Webb scored to make the score 5-2.

Barly in third, Sean Capser increased
the Red lead to 6-2 and capped off a hat
trick with a marker at 14:31 of the final
frame. Yet, Team White made a charge
at this stage of the game. At 8:16, Ken
Eyjolfson scored again to cut the lead to
6-3, At 5:25, Tysen Leblond set up Tyler
Noble on the doorstep to make the score
6-4, It appeared as if White was gaining
momentum, but at 2:37 it was all
over. Red’s Kelly Steel danced around
every White defender in their end and
scored Red’s seventh goal of the game.

Tysen Leblond scored a breakaway
goal with 1:32 remaining, but it wasn’t
nearly enough, Red played a solid game
and came away with a victory by down-
ing White 7-5. With the win, Red finished
up the regular season with 40 points, 4
behind White and four ahead of Blue.

The regular season is now in the books
and the teams are gearing up for the
playoffs, The championship game takes
place March 12 at 7:45 p.m,

Player of the Week: Team Red’s
Sean Casper, who picked up four goals in
Week 20, including a hat trick in his
team’s 7-5 win over White Feb. 28.
