Un Royal Treatment

Last Saturday’s exhibition hockey
game between the Douglas College
Royals and the PoCo Blues, at the
Port Moody Sports Centre, was slated

 

by Cynthia Kilt

 

as a rematch, but early into the game
it turned into a violent grudge match.

The Royals beat the Blues by a
score of 7 - 4 the previous Sunday in a
well-played game. The Blues entered
Saturday’s game with renewed ag-
gression, losing against the Royals by
the same score of 7 - 4, but marring
the Royals’ win by injuring two of
their players.

Scoring started 2:32 into the first
period with Daryl Pretzer (21) con-
necting with a. pass from Don
Woodley, to give the Royals a 1 - 0
lead and Pretzer his third goal in two
exhibition games. __

With approximately 15 minutes to
play in the first period, violence
erupted with the Royals’ Rob Everett
(16) getting his nose broken in a
questionable incident.

Despite the loss of Everett, the
Royals persevered with Gary Buntain
(99) making it 2 - O at 4:10. In the
sixth minute, the Blues had a three
man advantage and S. Gillian (22)

took advantage of it, scoring from

close range at 6:49, narrowing the
goal difference to one.

The first period ended with Chris
Klovan (18) of the Royals increasing
their lead to 3 - 1. The Blues scored a
goal with a second left to play, which
was later disallowed for having too
many men on the ice.

The Blues started second period
scoring at 4:46 with D. Alder (19),
making the score 3 - 2. Gary Buntain
scored for the Royals, regaining their
two goal lead, but the Blue’s K.
Burrette (14) brought them back to
within a goal. Several good scoring
opportunities by the Blues caused the
Royals’ goaltender, Jamie McCloskey
to make several outstanding saves in
order to maintain their lead.

The Royals dominated the rest of
the play in the second and third
periods, scoring three consecutive

goals: one each by Gary Buntain,
Lawrence Carslon (20) and Dave
Douglas (17). The Blues finished the
game by scoring a goal at 17:21,
losing to the Royals by the score or 7 -
4.

Visibly ‘upset with the game,
Royals’ coach Stewart Wright, with
one minute and thirty-seven seconds
left in the game, pulled his players off
the ice and the game was called.

The win was bittersweet. Not only
did Rob Everett sustain a broken

ms

nose, but Steve Govett (7) also
received a mouth injury. The Blues
has three players kicked out of the
game, and incurred 69 minutes in
penalties compared to the Royals’ 36
penalty minutes.

Gary Buntain was the leading
scorer, getting three goals in the
game. The next exhibition game for
the Royals is October 16 at 9:30 p.m.
in Port Moody.
