Just under 4,000
North Shore - hockey
fans who attended the
Lions Gate -'League
Championships at West
Van Arena over the

weekend were treated.

to some .of the most
exciting and en-
tertaining hockey of
the season.

The two day Ckam-
pionship Jamboree, which
was hosted by West Van-
couver Minor Hockey
Association, saw ‘twenty six
teams of the Lions Gate
League battle it out for top
honors in four divisions from

Atom to Midget. |

North Van and West Van
Minor Hockey Associations
each captured five awards in
the finals, while Hollyburn
accounted for the other
three top awards.

While there were a few
one sided games, most
remained in doubt right until
the final whistle.

A combined Ringette team
from Karen Magnussen
arena and the North Shore
Winter Club have captured
the B.C. Ringette Champion-

ships for girls from eight to.

10 years of age.

The young petites team
have just completed their
first season of play—ever,
Having just been introduced
to the game early this
season, the young players
. look to the game on ice with
considerable skill.

Losing only one game in
the round robin series, the
North Shore team defeated
Aldergrove 10-8 in an exci-
ting final.

Aldergrove held a
commanding 5-2 lead at the
half before the North Shore
squad shook off their
nervousness and_ stormed
back to take the provincial
title.

Coached by Peter Griffin
and assisted by Dave
Radborne and Wally Pierce,
the youngsters finished off a
very successful season.

The game, still relatively
new to the North Shore, is
played in a hockey arena on
skates. A hockey stick minus
the blade is used to pass
around an air filled rubber
ring.

Members of the winning

team are Kathleen
McCormick, Karen Stewart,
Lisa Valleau, Candice

McPhee, Katle Drew, Lisa
MacCallum, Tammy
Soloway, Laurie Griffin, Terri
