THE NORTH Shore Winter Club
Flames’ season came to an end
Saturday at the Winter Club when
they were blanked 4-0 by the Ab-
botsford Pilots and climinated
from the West Coast Junior
Hockey League quarter-finals in
three consecutive games.

After a humiliating 9-1 blowout
in Abbotsford on March 5, the
Flames rebuunded fast Friday in
Abbotsford with 60 minutes of the
grittiest, total team play of the
season.

While they came up short with
an 8-6 oss, the game produced its
share of moments to savor during
the off-season: John Cox playing

assisted on all four by linemates
Brad Costa and Scott Gordon; the
defensive play of Wade Bartok
who also chipped in with a pair of
assists; a devastating mid-ice hit by
Kevin Buhr; the penalty k lling of
Dave Atkinson; a dazzling coast-
to-coast scoring play by Costa and
phenomenal netminding by Gary
Knight.

Unfortunately for the Flames on
Saturday at the Winter Club, the
rugged play of the earlier game
cost them Andrew Wilson out with
a shoulder separation, a concus-
sion to Tim Stoddart, and a
carry-over penalty assessment to
Rick Rougeau.

On Saturday, while the Flames
held their own for the first two
periods, the inability to finish off
on their many scoring oppor-
tunities and lack of manpower to
change off against the fast-skating
