TEAM DOUGLAS

Team Douglas played three games in the past two weeks, winning one and

‘losing two. On Tuesday, Feb. 12th, the team lost to BCIT Forestry at

Aldergrove Arena. Douglas started slowly and were behind 2 - 0 after the

first period and 3 - 0 after the second. The team came alive in the third
period but it was too late. They outscored BCIT 2 - 1 but the final score
was 4 - 2 for BCIT. Scoring for Douglas were Ken Zakala (assisted by Ro”

Hovey) and Al Lewis (assisted by Ken Zakala).

In the second game, Team Douglas journeyed to Abbotsford on Sat.
Feb. 16th to play Columbia Bible Institute and came away with their first
victory against CBI all season. Douglas started fast, jumping to a 2 - 0
lead but CBI evened it up by the half-way point in the game. Then Douglas
open it up in the second half, outscoring CBI 5 - 1, to take the game 7 - <.
This is a reversal of form as it was Douglas that had faded late in the
previous games. Scoring for Douglas were Ron Hovey (assisted by Pat Fon-i
and Wes Hawkes), Ron Hovey (assisted by Ron Moyer and Pat Ponti), Ron Ames
(assisted by Rick Matheson and Al Lewis), Gene Giuricich (assisted by ho:
Moyer), Pat Ponti (assisted by Ron Hovey), Ron Hovey (assisted by Pat
Ponti and Ken Zakala) and Al Lewis (assisted by Gene Giuricich and Rick
Matheson). The hat-trick for Ron Hovey boosted him back into firs! place ©
the individual scoring statistics for the team. The game sas probably the
best played by the team this season. The line of Keith Mackenzie, Ron xovey
and Pat Ponti controlled play whenever they were on the ice and had
innumerabl2 scoring chances. The line of Ron Ames, Gene Giuricich and Al
Lewis also nlaved well, especially in killing penalties, and each scored
goal, besides. All in all, it was a tea: =°‘ort and the t2an was full vai
for the win.

The third game was played on Friaay, Feb. 22 at Aopotsrord -: ana
against BCIT Forestry again. BCITF jumped to al - 0 lea: corly ir t
game but Douglas roared back to score two goals before tr- “irst perivc € -~

to lead 2- 1. In the second period, BCITF scored the ar:y two goals tc
lead 3 - 2 at the end of the period. BCITF scored again mid-way through t->
third period to lead 4 - 2 before Douglas scored agair tc make the firal
score 4 - 3 for BCITF.

Team Douglas had difficulty adjusting to the aggressive forechecking *
the BCITF team and couldn't seem to get their attack untracked. BCITF ha:
now moved solidly into first place and seem to be the team to beat in the
league and playoff championships. Scoring for Douglas were Keith Mackenz1*
(assisted by Ken Zakala and Ron Hovey ), Ken Zakala (assisted by Pat Pon:
Ron Hovey) and Al Lewis (assisted by Gene Guiricich). Gcalie John Mc: 2r_*
played an outstanding game in living up to his nickname, ‘hot Hands’.

Team Douglas has two rerzirirg league games schedules, as follows:

Mon, Mar. 4 DC vs CBI Cloverdale Arena Sour
Tue, Mar. 5 TWC vs DC Aldergrove Arena 8:00p
