Over The Edge Page 10 - SPORTS & CLUBS November 9, 1998 Bure comes to UNBC? By Brett Carels Rumour has it that the Vancouver Canucks have sent scouts up to Prince George, in what appears to be a block- buster trade. This trade involves UNBC’s Rec C hockey team. The deal seems to consist of 6 players going to Vancouver for Pavel Bure and a bag of New Sports and Clubs pucks. No confirmation is yet available but Pavel Bure has been seen checking out the ladies at school. The six players from UNBC include Ivan “no brakes” Ng, Fraser “the gouch” Simmonds, Rec C leage team goon A.J., Goalie Terry “swiss cheese” Johal, Phil “why pass” Cox, and the seasoned veteran Owen Stanyer.. The only player avail- able for comment was Kevin “Cage” Priscot, who is anxious to play with Bure. “I’ve been looking for someone to go on breakaways with me!” Director: Mike Lau by Jeremy Fung Mike Lau was recently elected to the position of Sports and Clubs director of NUGSS. He took over on November 1. He thinks that he is very capable for the job because he is interest- ed in and involved with many of the clubs. Mike feels strongly about funding the Rugby Club, as it has more members than either of the varsity bas- ketball teams. He would like to increase involve- ment in current clubs.

Mike is also interested in creating a booster club to support the UNBC varsity teams. He says that he is not going to be like past directors, he feels that they did a fine job but they had made no visi- ble changes. Though he admits that he doesn’t entirely know what the past directors did. Mike would like to expand the weight room. He feels that there is adequate equipment, but not enough room for it to be used properly. ~~ PUBLIC INTEREST RESEARCH GROUP (PIRG) Nominations for the Board of Directors are now being accepted October 26 to November 9 For more information and Nomination Forms stop by the PIRG Office Office Hours: 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday - Thursday Support your teams!!! by Mike Lau The UNBC Basketball teams are in action this weekend at Kelly Road Secondary, against Prince George all-star teams. Both men’s and women’s. teams are looking to wrap up their first semester with a by Jeremy Fung The Wolf Pack, better known as the medieval club is a new club here at UNBC. The main goal of the club is to allow mem- bers to get a taste of medieval life. The focus is from the years 600-1650, that range encompasses pre-dark ages until near the end of the Renaissance period. There are currently twenty members of the UNBC Wolf Pack. The group is connected with the Society for Creative Anachronism, which has around 40,000 members throughout f North America. Members of the Wolf Pack can focus on a number of differ- ent recreations. They can take part in com- bat, arts, science or any combination of the three. For exam- ple the president of the club has created a persona named Genevieve the sweet. Genevieve is based around the year 1200, and the area of France and she chooses to focus on the arts. Another member has a persona named Vladimir. Vladimir is from the 1250's and is based on a warrior from the Kievan Russ area (now part of Russia). The club goes on various trips to compete in all their skills. Recently 8 mem- bers journeyed to Kamloops, to join 103 other people in a festival. They got to feast on period foods, such as homemade bread and croutins (a dessert made with apple, raisins and brown sugar). There was a. Bardic sinigng competition in which Nicole Tonn came 2nd. She received a deco- rative stein as a prize. convincing win. Come down and rally behind your fellow wolves! Tip-offs are at 6pm for women and 8pm for men, on November 13th and 14th. This is your only chance this semes- ter to witness the daz- When someone chooses to specialize in arts and science, they research what it was like in their time period. Then they perform them as _ their characters would have, for instance if their goal is making mead, then they follow the processes of the day and age. The combat portion-of the club is a very important component. The combat- ants, known as heavies, put on home made armour, and use wooden weapons to practice their martial arts. There are mandatory safety limits set on what parts of the body need to be covered by armour. The helmets weigh in at approximately 15 pounds and they must be 15 gauge steel. The shields are generally made of metal or wood, while the body armour is made of plastic, metal or leather. The neck, ster- num, kidneys, groin, elbows, knees, spine, hands, and wrists must be covered to provide the safety necessary to com- pete. The weapons are made of Rattan (bamboo), zling cross-over of Nicole Kerr and the pure-muscle rebound- ing clinic offered by Zane Robinson. So get in the game. You don’t know what you're miss- ing. Club Feature: Wolf Pack usually swords are used, however various other weapons such as maces, axes, halberds, and pikes are also employed. In the fantasy world, club members live in a realm known as An Tir. This land covers all the members from Saskatchewan, Alberta, BC, Washington and Northern Oregon. Nicole Kerr applies the full court press ina close loss to UCC on November 1 Photo by Jeremy Fung Each summer there is a large battle and tourna- ment to determine the var- ious leaders throughout the realms. Clinton BC is the site of one of the largest such battles, two hundred members per side clash in a great repre- sentative battle. There is a castle to defend, archers to provide cover, tight and maneuverable troops, support such as catapults, and then of course the heavies.
