Winter Games 10th anniversary com- petition was held in Prince George on February 3rd, 4th and Sth 1984. The Cassiar group combined forces with Watson Lake again this year for these games. Cassiar was represented in the following sports: badminton, curling, downhill skiing (with Watson Lake), bantam hockey (with Watson Lake) and squash. The group left Cassiar on Wednesday, January 31st and stayed overnight in Smithers. The bus arrived in Prince George at 3:45p.m, on Thursday February Ist. The Cas- siar group was the first to arrive and athletes and coaches proceeded to the registration centre. However, due to a breakdown in the computer used to register participants, the Cassiar group did not leave the centre until 6:00p.m. Friday February 2nd was the first day of competition, and every athlete saw action with the exception of the downhill skiers who would not race until Saturday. The hockey team was the first to taste competition with a game scheduled at 6:00a.m. on Friday. The badminton started at 9:00a.m. and the curlers at 10:30a.m. Follow- ing are reports of these events. BANTAM HOCKEY Cassiar Bantam Hockey found the competition tough in Prince George, losing all three games. Friday, two games were played. The first against Williams Lake, 12 to 1 and the second against Houston, 7 to 0. On Saturday, the game was lost to Prince Rupert, 5 to 1. In this game, . Prince Rupert had two penalty: shots. Rick Porter stopped the first one and Garred Huber stopped the second. The goaltenders played really well in all the games, as did Jim Kollar, who scored one of Cassiars two goals, Garry Miller scoring the other with Jeff Kalles assisting. CURLING The curling team was among those who participated in this year’s Northern B. C. Winter Games. The team is composed of four enthusiastic players including Shawn Penno, skip, Lisa Joseph, lead, Rob Best, second and El- izabeth Gwilliams, third. They work in conjunction with an excellent coach, Mr: John Gwilliams. The first game took place in the old Prince George arena on February 3rd, where the team played a close — game with Chetwynd. Chetwynd prevailed with a final score of 9 to 8: The second game took place in the new arena on Feb- ruary 4th and was most enjoyed by the Cassiar team. This was not due to the intense competition, which ended in an 8 to 2 loss for Cassiar, but rather the excellent sports- manship and courtesy shown by the opponents from Wil- liams Lake. The third and most rewarding game was played on February 4th against the team from Prince Rupert which finished in a score of 9 to4 for Cassiar. This game led to the fourth and final game against Prince George, which was the most challenging team of all. It started out close, but eventually led to their victory, 11 to 3. The second and third games were played alongside _ the Labatt’s Briar which provided excellent entertainment for the audience and young players alike. Throughout our stay, great support was given by our supervisor, John Wong, and our unofficial on-sight coach, Andy Izaard. The Northern B. C. Winter Games was an ex- perience not many of us will readily forget. SQUASH On January 20 - 22, while Cassiar was being deluged with snow, Dick Chambers, Tim Carew and Jim Gilpin were competing in the Yukon Closed Squash Tournament in Whitehorse. Dick and Jim played each other for the consolation final of the Men’s Open. Jim started with a vengeance, winning the first two games 9 - 0 and 9 - 0, and hardly letting Dick even serve. Dick did not give up, however, and responded in the next two games 9 - 2 and 9 to 0. The fifth and tie-breaking game went right to the wire, with both players having several chances to win game point. Dick finally prevailed, winning 10 - 9, and thus ranking 3rd in the Yukon. Two Whitehorse players, Barry Belchambers and Peter Steele excited the spectators Continued on Page 16
