TEAM DOUGLAS TIES BCIT FORESTRY, 3-3

On Tuesday, November 20, Team Douglas played BCIT Forestry in the
new Langley arena and managed a tie, 3-3. The game was a see-saw battle
which saw BCITF jump off to a 2-0 lead before Pat Ponti (assisted by
Steve Yesowick and Ron Hovey) struck back for Douglas. Then, Al Lewis
(assisted by Ron Ames) tied it up at 2-2. However, BCITF scored again
to go ahead 3-2 until Gene Giuricich (assisted by Al Lewis) scored three
minutes later to tie the game at 3-3. Team Douglas has one more league
game this semester on Thursday, November 29, against Trinity Western
College at Langley Arena (20699 - 42nd Avenue). Game time: 8 p.m.

So far this season, Team Douglas has lacked two things - wins and
fan support. Although the team has only a win and a tie so far in
league play, every game has been close and the team has the potential to
win against any of the other teams on any given day. As the season
progresses, we should see Team Douglas getting its share of wins.
However, despite playing some very exciting and entertaining games, the
team has suffered from a decided lack of student fan support. A small
core of students has turned out to virtually every game and the team
appreciates their Support very much but a horde of screaming fans behind
their bench at every game would greatly improve their morale and might
even be sufficient to inspire the team on to a win in a close game. An
example of just such a situation occurred last year in the B. C. Festival
of Winter Sports Hockey Tournament when underdog, Malaspina College,
cheered on only by members of the other six hockey teams in the Tournament
were inspired to a 3-2 win over hometown Cariboo College. It was a
classical example of the power of strong fan support. So how about Lt;
Sports fans? Next Thursday, November 29, will you be behind the Team
Douglas bench at Langley Arena screaming your lungs out? See you there
at 8 p.m.
