Wolfpack Hockey Rav

Submitted By: Scott Shaw-
MacLaren

The Junior Varsity Men’s
Hockey team saw hard hitting
hockey. action at UCC
(University College of the
Cariboo) over the winter
break. Saturday’s game saw
UNBC jump to a quick lead.
Team captain Craig Metcalf
scored 6 minutes into the first
on a fast break fed by center-
man Kevin Laskowski from
Luke Donnely. The dogfight
was fast and furious through-
out the first period, with the
Sun Demon’s refusing to fall
to the hungry Wolves. A late
goal by Ryan Vanderman
from Mike Thompson kept
UCC alive at the break.

UNBC started the second full
of energy, attacking the

5

weary UCC defense repeat-
edly. This forced turnovers,
which Dean Dickenson of the
Woives capitalized on with an
early goal from hard working
Leon Clarmont. This pres-
sure caved the UCC moral
leading to an addition of
goals in the second period.
After a turnover forced by
Kirby Jaques, Eric Kozijn
added the third goal, assisted
by blue liners Rob Wakelin
and Luke Donnely. Future
prospect, Kurtis Jaques, from
the Quesnel Thunder, added
to the onslaught on a quick
break initiated by Rob
Wakelin and winger Scott
Shaw-MacLaren. This closed
the second period with the
Wolf pack dominating UCC,
4-1.

The third period saw UCC

attempt to get back in the
game, but outstanding play
between the pipes by fresh-
man goaltender Derek
Lebeouf, held off the Sun
Demon’s _ efforts. Craig
Metcalf chalked up his sec-
ond of the game in the dying
seconds of the third on a
turnover forced by forward,
Aaron Michalchuck to kill
UCC’s hopes of a comeback.
Final score: UNBC- 5 UCC-
1.

Sunday saw a 6am start for
the Wolfpack to continue the
trip to 100-Mile House. Here
the road weary Wolves faced
off against the senior “AA”
Bears, dominators of the BC
Senior Men’s league. A slow
start by the Wolves allowed
the Bears to jump out to and
early two-goal lead. Craig

Metcalf would not allow 100
Mile to dominate, striking
back with a goal late in the
first with helpers from
Michalchuck and Laskowski.
The more experienced Bears
peppered tender Derek
Lebeouf throughout the sec-
ond period, adding three
more to the scoreboard. The
tired Wolfpack gave a final
burst of effort in a physical
and penalty-filled third period,
outshooting the Bears con-
siderably. After killing multi-
ple Bear powerplays, UNBC
struck back with a brilliant
five-hole ringer by Aaron
Michalchuck, with help from
Laskowski and Metcalf. The
Bears added the final goal,
late in the third bringing the
final score to 6-2 for the
Bears.

A Reduction in Tuition Fees

age UCC Sun Demons

The successful road trip saw
UNBC break the intercolle-
giate ice, with the 5-1 win
over UCC. This paves the way
for the inaugural season next
year of the BCAHA Collegiate
Hockey League, where
UNBC hopes to dominate
against the likes of the
University of Victoria,
Malaspina College,
Okanagan University
College, and other BC
College teams. Show you
support of the Wolf pack in
this year’s PGRHL++++++
playoffs, and look forward to
college hockey action next
season.

All UNBC game times are
posted at the fitness center.

On February 28 the provincial government announced that tuition fees have been reduced
by 5%, core funding has increased and 5,000 new spaces have been added for 2001-2002.

Thank-you to all those students who, over the past decade, attended the rallies, signed the
petitions and wrote their Members of the Legislative Assembly. It was your efforts that helped

shift public opinion in favour of lower tuition fees, making possible the provincial

government's decision.

However, We need to keep up the pressure. We need to make sure that all candidates in
the upcoming provincial election are fully committed to maintaining the fee reduction and
increasing access to post-secondary education.

Yours truly,

Anita Zaenker
BC Chairperson
