Vanier Towhees’ athletics now into winter season The 2013-14 edition of winter sports teams got underway this week at G.P. Vanier. “With our senior volleyball teams making the provincials and playing this week, we hope their success this past season rubs off on the basketball, wrestling and ski/ snowboard teams,” said athletic director Larry Street. Starting up with league play and tournaments soon are: Grade 8 Boys Basketball - coached by Ross Jamieson and Blake Tobacca. Almost 20 boys are out for the team. Grade 8 Girls Basketball - coached by former Towhee Brittany Hanson and vice-principal Jennifer Gordon. A dozen girls are looking forward to a fun season. Grade 9 Boys Basketball Alumni coach James Shepherd, assisted by Ross Jamieson, has 10 keen students. Grade 9 Girls Basketball - Alumni coach John Lewis and community volunteer Peter Parke have a girls team in the local league for the first time in history. Grade 10 Girls Basketball - Same coaches – John and Peter have
an energetic group who are quite athletic. Grade 10 Boys Basketball - Fifthyear head coach Tony Edwards and assistant coach vice-principal Jason Cobey are
both very excited about possibly the best group of Grade 10s we’ve had in many years. Senior Girls Basketball - Coach Heidi Zirkl is starting the program up on her terms, and
has plenty of work to do with a wonderful group of young ladies who love the game. Senior Boys Basketball - Coach Larry Street and assistant Maureen Olsen are
looking forward to one of the most enthusiastic groups we’ve seen in years. Ski and Snowboard Teams Coaches Andrew Young and Ron Olson again take
the crew up on the mountain this winter to get ready for their favourite snow competitions. Wrestling Team Ken Lees again is volunteering his time to

balanced scoring from their forwards. Sunday brought a much anticipated rematch with Campbell River, who had beaten the Chiefs in three previous games. The Tyees scored on their first shift to put the Chiefs back on their heels. The Chiefs trailed 4-2 at the midway ice clean but came out with a stronger forecheck following the break, forcing C.R. into penalty trouble. A couple of powerplay goals brought the game to 5-5 midway through the third, and two tip-in deflection goals by centre Gabe Schovanek put the Chiefs ahead 7-5 with a few minutes to play. The Tyees closed the gap to 7-6, but goalie Keegan Rivett made the save of the game with an across-thecrease stop with the paddle of his goalie stick late in game to preserve the victory. – Courtenay Mazda Chiefs
