Kudos to Kamloops
by Flash Gordon

The Kamloops Rugby Club was in the Lower
Mainland for two rugby matches against the
Douglas Blues men’s sides. The only problem
was the cowboys only brought one team!
However, all 19 players managed to pull off a
feat of stamina and skill as they beat Douglas’
teams. The first game was a blow-out and by the
second round of play the Blues were able to keep
it close and only lose by four points.

 

Flash’s Weekly Five
Fitness Tips

others.

and a t-shirt, no butt-floss.

¢ Make working-out a regular part of your day.
¢ Avoid fad diets like Atkins.

¢ Don't drop weights on your toes.

The Jury is Still Out!

by Flash Gordon

 

Athletic director, Lou Renne Legge and her hir-
ing board are in the process of selecting a new
women's soccer coach for the 2004 season. The
new hire should be announced soon! Former
coach, Joh Judd’s dismissal came in the wake of
an investigation into allegations that Judd mis-
appropriated funds from a Richmond youth soc-
cer organization. Lou Renne Legge’s stance on
the issue is that Judd’s dismisal and the allega-
tions are unrelated. Judd’s tenure as the women’s
soccer coach resulted in six years of missing the
playoffs. A fresh face in athletics will be wel-

come.

Bollocks
by Flash Gordon

The events staff at Douglas College are actually
animatronics—robot-like puppets moved by
wires! After every game the events manager stows
them away in the equipment locker. When the
Cente for Sport bought a scorer’s table last year,
the scorers and timekeepers came extra for a
nominal fee. Don’t get too close though or else
loose clothing might get caught in the moving
parts!

Hello hockey
fans and wel-
come to this edi-
tion of the Canucks Corner.
Its been a busy two weeks
since last we spoke, so let’s get
right down to business. First
up on this week’s menu is the
NHLs All Star Game, which
was played on February 7 at
the Excel Energy Center in
Minneapolis, | Minnesota.
Although All-star games usu-
ally suck, the NHUs version
of a mid-season classic has its
roots in charity and goodwill.

On December 12, 1933,
Ace “Irvine” Bailey's career
was suddenly ended when
Boston’s Eddie Shore rocked
him with a vicious hit from

Canucks’ Corner

behind. As Shore was rushing
the puck up ice, Toronto's
King Clancy stood him up at
the blue line. Shore hit the ice
and while sliding, looked up
at the referee waiting for a
penalty call that never came.
Shore was unhappy with the
non-call.

Clancy, in the meantime,
had led a rush up into the
Boston zone and was fighting
for the puck deep in the
Boston defensive
Bailey's back was to Shore as
Bailey moved into position to
cover for Clancy, who obvi-
ously had left his position to
chase the puck. Shore, per-
haps to exact revenge,
checked Bailey hard from

zone.

behind, sending Bailey tum-
bling along the ice.

Bailey suffered a fractured
skull on the play and his
career was over. Eddie Shore
apologized to Bailey in the
dressing room after the game
and Bailey accepted his apol-
ogy. “That's all right, Eddie.
It’s all part of the game.”

The NHUs first All-Star
Game was held in Bailey's
honor on February 14, 1934,
to help raise money for him
and his family. Over the next
five years, two more all-star
games were held to benefit
Montreal players Howie
Morenz and Babe Siebert.
The first modern era game

was held 1947, and has been

held every year since with the
exception of 1966, and the
lockout season of 1995.
From those humble begin-
nings, the NHL All-Star
Game has grown to become
an overblown game of shinny
between multimillionaires.
One aspect of this year’s con-
test that did manage to get
and hold my attention was
the line formed by Burnaby’s
Joe Sakic between Canucks’
Markus Naslund and Todd
Bertuzzi. I’m sure I’m not
alone in wishing Sweet-Joe
Class-Act would come back
home and play for the
Canucks. As long as the
Avalanche are one of the rich-
est teams in the league, these
