Gordon dives into springboard 2nd piace

PAIGE GORDON sprung into the
Commonwealth Games diving
team after completing her most
troublesome dive — a one-and-a-
half backwards pike — on the last
day of the four-day competition in
Edmonton.

This dive earned Gordon second
place in the one-metre springboard
event and a spot on the five-
member team. She will be the only
female Canadian diver to compete
in all three events — the spr-
ingboard, the three-metre and
10-metre tower.

A West Vancouver resident in
grade 11 at Kitsilano Secondary
School, Gordon is also the
youngest woman diver on the team
by about four years.

Megan Gordon, Paige's sister,
was also vying for a slot on the
team but missed her difficult front
three-and-a-half on the 10-metre
tower in both the preliminaries and
the finals, nnishing sixth in her
best event.

Paige finished fourth in both the
three-metre and 10-metre.

Also in the Commonwealth
Games is North Vancouver’s
Allison Sydor, already in
Tasmania to train.

Flames win

HAT TRICKS by Dave Shepard
and Brad Costa paced the scoring
as the North Shore Winter Club
Flames posted their first win on
the road this season with an 11-4
bashing of the Steelers in a West
Coast Junior Hockey League game
played Dec. 17 at Grandview.

The game was the first of two
back-to-back meetings between the
two teams before the Christmas
break.

The Flames built up a 6-1 lead in
the first period, stretched their lead
to 10-2 after two, and then were
outscored by the Steelers two goals
to one for the 11-4 final.

Scoring star for the Flames
Sunday was Shepard who picked
up four points with three goals and
an assist. Shepard’s hat-trick goal
was scored while the Flames were
playing a man short, late in the se-
cond period.

Single goals were added by Brian
Lee, Rob Tournier, John Cox,
Rich Haldane and Marcel! Desjar-
din, whose goal also scored while
the Flames were playing short-
handed.

Flame goaltender Kevin Rad-
bourne made 32 stops on Steeler
shooters who had a 36-32 edge in
shots on goal.
