-HOCKEY- ROOKIES SHOW DESIRE

Caps swampBreakers

in exhibition opener

Nor Wes Caps may
be short on experience
this year, but the B.C.
Junior Hockey team is

showing signs of being
long on desire.

On Wednesday evening
the young North Shore team
surprised a big, tough Seattle
Breaker entry from the
Western Hockey League
with a 5-2 win at Karen
Magnussen Arena in front of
a happy bunch of supporters.

The game was only 1:11
old and two Caps were

already sitting in the penalty
box when Seattle tallied
their first of the evening.

While most of the crowd
came up with the feeling that
it was going to be a long
evening for the younger
Caps, the team itself pulled
themselves together and
settled down to some tough
and determined play.

For their first exhibition
,encounter of the season the
Caps had a good spread of
points from both veterans
and rookies.

Doug Scissons, a returnee
from last season picked up a
goal and an assist while
Graham Kerr, another
veteran matched him.

Rookie Dwayne Potekal
picked up a pair of assists
while newcomers Leonard
Poole, and Kevin Berard
each picked up a goal.

Rod Slatten who was with
Coquitlam last year picked
up his first goal as a Nor Wes
Caps.

To help prepare the young
team for their 66 game

schedule in the new 10 team

‘British - Columbia Junior.

Hockey League the Caps will
be playing host to the
Richmond Sockeyes next
Friday evening at the Karen
Magnussen Arena after
taking on the Sockeyes in

‘Richmond on Tuesday

evening.

September 23 in Bellingham
with their home opening
