Companies eye pellet plant for Terrace TERRACE - A planned wood pellet plant here is a crucial part of the equation needed for the development of a value-added forest industry, says one of its proponents.

The plant, the planning for which is the subject of an agreement struck last week by forest tenure holder Coast Tsimshian Resources and pellet producer Pinnacle Renewable Energy, would use fibre now considered waste, says Coast Tsimshian chief executive officer Wayne Drury.

“As you know, using that part of the [forest] profile has always been a challenge,” said Drury.

That’s because the percentage of fibre in the area which can’t be used in a sawmill to manufacture lumber tends to be

higher than elsewhere, creating mountains of residue which then need to be dealt with.

“We’ve always said we’ve been looking for a way to use that waste. We really need to add value and that’s been our objective,” said Drury in explaining the reasoning behind the agreement with Pinnacle, which has six pellet plants in BC, including ones in Houston and Burns Lake.

He described the agreement between Coast Tsimshian and Pinnacle as a good fit because one can supply the fibre and the other the manufacturing expertise and both have extensive business experience in the region.

Wood pellets are formed from waste wood by applying pressure which also results in moisture being squeezed out.

They are burned in furnaces and stoves in residences and commercial buildings.

Drury said Terrace is a logical place for a wood pellet plant because of the availability of fibre, because it would complement Pinnacle’s other plants along Hwy16 and because of the closeness to an export facility Pinnacle has opened in Prince Rupert.

For now, the favoured location for the plant is the far western end of Coast Tsimshian’s Keith Ave. Poirier log yard where it is bounded by Frank St. CN’s rail line and Hwy16 run along the northern end of the property, providing easy access either by road or by rail to Pinnacle’s Prince Rupert export terminal.

“That’s where we’d like it to be but the final decision will depend upon an evaluation of it and other locations,” said Drury.

The size of the plant, how much fibre it can take in and how much it will produce and its cost has yet to be decided.

Drury said Coast Tsimshian and Pinnacle will be looking for additional fibre from other forest companies in the area and that the resulting volume will help establish the wood pellet plant’s output.

One potential customer already being talked about is Skeena Sawmills, located right across the highway from the Poirier log yard.

“What our goal is to establish something that will benefit the entire area,” said Drury.

Kitimat recycling group receives subsidy boost

By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimat Understanding the Environment (KUTE) has received their rent supplement from the District of Kitimat.

KUTE President Barb Hall had asked council at an earlier meeting for money to match the increased rent, when they would have to renew their lease with the building owner of their recycling depot.

Council asked District staff for a report following the presentation and the recommendation which came back was for council to approve the increase, which means $2,251.20 more a month.

“I think our staff is still looking at options in the longer term but this allows for KUTE operations to continue at its present location for a two year period, and if we find something better...we’ll entertain that in future discussions,” said Mario Feldhoff right before the decision.

Hall issued a statement following the decision by council, saying that they are thankful that the funding had been approved to cover their new rent. “KUTE has been at our current location since May 1994 and has enjoyed a good relationship with the landlord,” she said. “They have been very generous to us by keeping the rent down for many years.”

She said they understand that costs have risen, “and the reality of supply and demand for space in Kitimat.”

She confirmed that they and the District of Kitimat have looked for other locations but have come up empty.

Doug Hughan, a KUTE board member, explained that previous ideas such as moving

the depot to the landfill isn’t ideal given the services they need for a workplace but suggested places like Forest Avenue, another of council’s thoughts, could be better.

Even so, the current depot is well suited to their needs, he said.

Staff’s report to council also included a review of considerations of Kitimat’s former animal shelter location, on Enterprise Avenue, as a possible new recycling location, but it was found that location would be entirely too small.

The size is 40 per cent of the current KUTE depot, and only has a single garage area, with no capacity for efficient loading by forklift, the report continued.

KUTE’s new lease term is for two-years, and staff’s report said that time will give them options to explore whether they could eventually somehow team-up with a potential MultiMaterial BC depot once that program gets underway.

The MMBC program is a province-wide recycling program that aims to bring curbside recycling to communities across the province, including Kitimat.

MMBC offered municipalities the option of being the provider of recycling pickup and while many communities have signed on, Kitimat did not due to the concerns about post-collection placement of the materials and lingering questions about how much the program would actually cost.

With the District saying no, the collection program will eventually go to bid for a private contractor. Hughan said MMBC could potentially move into the old animal shelter since their materials will be lighter than what KUTE handles.

BC Ferries route cuts are widely condemned

~ RESCHEDULED ~

Retiree Site Tour

By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Over the course of 90 minutes Dec. 5 representatives from BC Ferries and the Ministry of Transportation were repeatedly told proposed service cuts on the North Coast are simply unacceptable.

The plan unveiled

by BC Ferries at the open house includes the elimination of the Monday night sailing from Prince Rupert to Skidegate and subsequent Tuesday morning sailing from Skidegate to Prince Rupert during the off-peak season and the elimination of the Saturday sailing during the peak season — cutting the schedule to two trips per week during the offpeak schedule and five sailings per week during peak season.

On the Inside Passage, the peak season would be reduced from the current May to September to a seven-week window between June and mid-September, and the mid-week sailings during the off-peak season would be eliminated so there is only the weekend sailing.

Mayor Jack Mussallem said any cuts would not easily be pushed on people, particularly in light of a $24 million agreement between the province and Nexen for land at Grassy Point.

Community grants frozen for 2014

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Community groups won’t be receiving any more money from the City of Prince Rupert this year than they did last year after council voted to fund Community Enhancement Grants in 2014 at the same level as 2013.

The total amount requested in 2014 rose from $1.41 million to $1.53 million, but council said they could not justify spending the additional money.

“The city still has a number of issues outstanding, including the sale of Watson Island, the removal of residual chemicals and city infrastructure is an ongoing concern,” said Mayor Jack Mussallem.

“I know a lot of people are looking at the [$2.1 million] the Prince Rupert Port Authority gave us and think we have a bunch more money, but I would remind

people that we did have a budget shortfall in the spring and the infrastructure challenge has not gotten better ... we are just trying to be cost efficient,” said Coun. Anna Ashley.

The decision will leave some organizations that were looking for significantly more for 2014 having to re-examine their operations in the year ahead.

The Museum of Northern BC had requested an increase from $201,500 to $244,500 in the face of “significant financial challenges” that would result in staff cuts without more money, but the museum will only receive $195,000 from the

city due to a tax exemption they were granted earlier in the year.

The Prince Rupert Library had requested a funding increase of $36,000 to cover operational costs, but will receive the same $531,000 that was provided last year. However, council reserved the right to come back to that Anna Ashley request in January.

The Lester Centre had requested $4,000 to offset insurance for the society board of directors that is no longer being covered, but will need to find the money elsewhere.

A decision on the grant for Tourism Prince Rupert, including the visitor information centre, will be delayed until January.

New face at the table…

“We did have a budget shortfall and the infrastructure challenge has not gotten better. ”

Latecomers at risk of missing their intended airline flights

Skiers assisted …

TERRACE - Northwest Regional Airport officials here are warning passengers they need to be checked in by the times indicated by their carrier or they could risk missing their flights.

With WestJet now flying out of Terrace, more flights are taking off within a few minutes of each other and that means more passengers who need to be checked in and passed through security at the same time.

So those who are late checking in or going through security risk not getting on their intended flight, says airport manager CarCONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Members of the Prince Rupert Harley Riders donated $10,000 and 617 toys to the Prince Rupert Salvation Army.

Harley Riders donate $10,000 and 617 toys for Christmas

By Martina Perry

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT The Prince Rupert Harley Riders Club made a massive donation to ensure all children have something to open on Christmas morning.

The club raised $10,000 and collected 617 toys from the 32nd annual Toy Run event that took place in October, which was donated to the Prince Rupert Salvation Army for its Christmas Hamper Program on Friday.

“We came to our goal. It took us an extra month, but we did good,” said Norm Sklapsky, president of the Prince Rupert Harley Riders.

“For 32 years the Harley Riders have been collecting toys and cash to help us with our Christmas program.

This year has been phenomenal, with over 600 toys and another $10,000. It’s such a huge help,” Capt. Gary Sheils of the Prince Rupert Salvation Army said.

The funds were raised from ticket sales

for the Toy Run dance in October, liquor sales at the dance, donation jars in Prince Rupert and Port Edward and donations from businesses and individuals.

A major money raiser comes from Toy Run T-shirt sales, with Donna Wing spearheading the efforts for the last number of years along with Sklapsky.

The Toy Run collects toys by requiring people attending the dance to donate some kind of toy along with the cost of their ticket.

“People want to give when they know it’s going to children. After 32 years being involved in the community ... people want to donate because they know it’s going to a good cause,” Sklapsky said.

“We’re a group of honest people that want to help children and the community.”

Sklapsky said the club holds the annual fundraising event for underprivileged children in Prince Rupert and Port Edward, who may not have presents to open on Christmas morning otherwise.

Sklapsky said there tends to be a lot of parents in smaller communities with alcohol or drug abuse issues.

“Sometimes kids parent’s are out there, and the kids don’t get anything for Christmas. We do this for them.”

Sklapsky has been the main organizer of the event for the past five years, taking over the responsibility after longtime president Mark Desautels (Dezi) passed away.

“My goal the first year after Mark died was to raise $10,000 and have one of our biggest fundraisers ever to honour him,” said Sklapsky, who was successful in his goal.

“I thought if I could do it the first year, I should be able to do it every year.”

Since being president of the club Sklapsky has done just that, helping to raise $50,000 in five years.

Chris Rose will be taking over the role of club president next year, with Sklapsky explaining he needs a year

“If he wants to carry on after one year that’s great.

If not, I’m willing to take over again,” said Rose.

Hotels in the works to replace run-down former motel new hotels being built on the land, as well as one new restaurant.

The two hotels would mean a collective 149 new hotel beds to town.

The main proponent to the project is MasterBUILT Hotels, while the application was made on their behalf by Rick Scheidt of R.W. Scheidt Design.

To get the hotel he has requested C5 Zones to allow for ‘hotels’ (motels are

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimat Council has been handling a number of proposals lately that’d see the construction of new hotels.

Most recently an application came through to amend the C5 zoning, which would allow the construction of a proposed Microtel unit where the Aluminum City Motel currently stands.

The proposal sees two

an existing use in the zoning) as well the applicant is seeking an increase to permitted height, from nine metres to 17 metres, as well as increasing the maximum density from .5 to .8 Floor Area Ratio.

Council unanimously voted on giving first and second reading to the proposed amendment, and referred the application to the advisory planning commission.

A public hearing is

saying the other hotel facility, a suites hotel, would likely come following that.

Councillors added a referral to the traffic committee as well for this application.

The effect of the applicant’s desire to increase building height would mean that instead of a limit of three storeys, the hotel could be up to five.

Because the proposal would increase the number of rooms on the property by

scheduled for January 6.

The motion also calls for final adoption to be conditional on the completion of a servicing study.

Kitimat planner Daniel Martin says that the applicant has indicated plans to begin work very soon on the project.

“The intent given in the application is to start construction on the Microtel portion of the site, and possibly the restaurant as well, as soon as possible,” he said,

99, staff note that additional rooms trigger a $300 a bed contribution to the Pollution Control Centre.

The servicing study which was included in the motion is to be paid for by the proponent.

That study is to look into the District’s infrastructure capacity, and identify necessary upgrades that the company would have to provide to accommodate their development.

In the last article we started a Raisin wine and racked it to a carboy to finish fermenting. It is now time to get away from the first heavy drop out.

Rack your wine to a clean and sanitized carboy. At this time add ¼ Tsp of metabisulphite put this in a cup and melt this in a small amount of the wine you are moving between carboys and then add it back into the wine as you are racking. This will help prevent the oxidization of your wine. The racking process will help knock off a lot of the CO2 from fermentation this is a good thing as fizzy wine is not what we are trying to make. When your wine is racked over and properly topped up we will put it in a cool place and let everything rest for about two months or longer without disturbing the wine. You are looking for a totally clear bright looking wine before the next step bottling.

There are two things to note in the above paragraph. First what is a properly topped off carboy? Properly topping off a carboy is where we add a wine or water to the carboy to ensure there is only the space left in the steepest part of the curve to the neck of the carboy. Wine of a similar taste is best for this process. Raisin being hard to match I suggest just using a white wine that you like. I do not recommend water as I personally always taste water when using it to top off with. But that is your choice. The second is temperature. The temperature is very important at this stage as if too warm many of the subtitle flavors and aromas will be driven off by the heat. The recommended temperature to drop to should be around 50 F or 10 C. The last thing to note here is keep your air lock full. If you do not your hard work will become drain cleaner very quickly.

TAKE NOTICE THAT, in accordance with the Community Charter, the Council of the District of Stewart is proposing the sale of the following lands: Block A, District Lot 6608, Cassiar Land District except Plan 12675 Airport Land (subdivision) As described in the attached plan and highlighted in red To: Soucie Construction Ltd. for the assessed value of $20,000 + GST, plus the Crown Grant Fee, plus survey and appraisal costs and advertising, legal fees, and 5% administrative charges (with total cost to be determined as not all costs have been incurred).

PRINCE RUPERT - Friday marked the 24th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre and the North Coast Transition Society held a vigil at Northwest Community College (NWCC) to remember the women who were murdered and raise awareness to end violence against women.

On Dec. 6, 1989, 14 women attending Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal were killed when a man entered the school with a gun, separated the men from women, and murdered female students because he believed they were feminists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They died only because they were women, for no other reason,â&#x20AC;? Treena Decker, Stopping the Vio3 5/16counsellor x5 lence of the North Coast Transition Society, said during the event.

Planning 10 students from Charles Hays Secondary Students created 14 paper silhouettes to represent victims of the Montreal Massacre, which were laid out in the Multipurpose Room at NWCC and down the hallway at the entrance of the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allowed students to have a discussion about gender violence and the realities of the world we live in. All we can hope is we keep having dialogue that will encourage change,â&#x20AC;? Decker said.

A brief biography of each of the women was read by people in attendance, while red roses was laid on the floor to represent each victim.

Then, those at the vigil shared a moment of silence to honour the lives of the 14 women and the lives of all men who died because of gender-based violence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite the important work that has been done to end violence against women, on this day we are reminded that this work is far from complete,â&#x20AC;? said North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice, noting in British Columbia more than 1,000 physical and sexual assaults against women take place each week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every such actdepends diminisheson ouryou society.â&#x20AC;?

PIN number in wallet

CUPE donates to food bank …

TERRACE - A person who lost a wallet containing a debit card learned a painful lesson about securing personal information.

The debit card was used to make various transactions. The PIN had been written down on paper and stored

in the wallet with the debit card.

Personal information such as PIN numbers should not be written down and carried around in wallets or purses in case they are stolen. Thieves then have easy access to bank accounts and credit card accounts.

We’re taking some time off to enjoy the holiday season!

TERRACE - Northern Health is starting to host pacemaker clinics in Terrace, B.C. twice a year.

The first two-day clinic was held at Mills Memorial Hospital on Nov. 6, 2013, and the next one will be on April 28, 2014. Previously residents in the Terrace area would have to travel to Smithers for the clinic. The clinic is for patients with a cardiac pacemaker to check the functioning of the pacemaker and battery life.

The new clinics were implemented after a significant increase in demand. Previously there were only a few patients in the Terrace area that needed to attend these clinics, but now about 50 patients access the service.

“Hosting these clinics in Terrace shows Northern Health responding to an increase in demand for a service,” said Chris Simms, Terrace Health Service Administrator for Northern Health. “The clinics will allow patients to receive the care closer to home, instead of having to travel to another community.”

The clinic in Terrace also had patients from surrounding communities including Dease Lake, Kitimat, and Greenville in atten-

dance.

For the past ten years the pacemaker

clinics have been held twice a year in communities across the re-

Rio Tinto Alcan wishes to advise the general public that contractors working in the company’s transmission Line Right of Way (3 km north of Kitamaat Village) will begin a blasting schedule during the week of December 16th that may involve up to two blasting occurrences daily Monday to Friday between the hours of 09:00 – 16:00 hours. This work is sheduled for completion by 30 January 2014.

This blasting is required to crack the surface rock which will allow for excavation leading to construction of the new KMP electrical sub-station. Rio Tinto Alcan does not anticipate any public inconvenience as the blasting charges will be a low impact type so that noise, vibration and dust nuisance will be minimal. In addition, the use of blasting mats will eliminate flying rock.

Betty (Elizabeth Oskey) MacDougall June 6, 1937- Nov. 21, 2013

We lost our best friend, survived by her husband, Jim MacDougall, brother Robert and Marianne Oskey, sister-in-law Christina MaCarthur. Children: Micheal (Janet), Ron (Kim) Ian, Catherine (Aaron) Ippel; Grandchildren Chris Veskaik, (Amanda) Adam MacDougall, Shaune Coburn, Cody MacDougall, Alex MacDougall, Laine Seeley, Caitlyn Seeley, Reagan Ippel, Evie MacDougall, Great granddaughter Hailey Verkaik.

Predeceased by brother Walter and brother-in-law John MacDougall.

Betty was born in Prince Rupert and attended school and graduated from the Annunciation Catholic School in Prince Rupert. She worked at the Woolworth & forestry office in Prince Rupert.

On October 1937, she married Jim MacDougall and started what she considered the most important part of her life, having a husband and family. All of her children were born in Prince Rupert. In 1968 the family moved to Terrace, BC and life continued.

As the children grew, Betty went to work at Veritas Catholic School in Terrace for 24 years.

She enjoyed gardening all through her life with petunias as her special flower. For relaxation, she knitted everything for her family and for donations. She taught her family through her quiet perseverance to find a positive in each situation. She wanted patience and understanding from everyone. Betty had a great many friends in Terrace, Prince Rupert, and around the Province. She enjoyed travelling to Scotland and meeting long lost relatives and to Rome to see the Pope. She has gone to God in Peace.

Thank you to all the friends and family for all your support.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Betty MacDougall Memorial Fund at Northern Savings Credit Union. The funds will go towards a TheraKair air mattress for either Terraceview or Mills Memorial Hospital.

Rampage keep win streak alive Volleyball

By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Rampage were looking for their fourth straight win against the Kitimat Ice Demons on Saturday night and picked up the two points in convincing fashion against a team that sits atop the Central Interior Hockey League Western Conference standings.

The Ice Demons controlled the play in the opening minutes, including two great shorthanded opportunities, but Rampage netminder Warren Hanson turned away everything that came his way. He then kept the game scoreless with a big breakaway save with 13 minutes on the clock. After withstanding Kitimat’s offensive flurry, Prince Rupert’s Brock Ward opened the scoring by chipping a loose, rolling puck over the glove of Brett Vilness.

The Demons had their opportunities to tie things up, including a five-on-three powerplay with 3:30 on the clock, but it would be the Rampage’s Kory Movold who lit the lamp next when he put a backhander from his knees between the pads of Vilness with 50 seconds left. The goal would be the last of the period and Prince Rupert took a 2-0 lead into the second frame.

The Rampage wasted no time in picking up where they left off at the start of the second. Devin Palmer picked up the puck just outside the Kitimat zone and, after dekeing out both defenders, slid the puck across the Vilness’ pads and into the bottom corner of the net just 51 seconds into the period for Prince Rupert’s third goal of the game. As Hanson continued to shine in net for Prince Rupert, Greg Sheppard put the Rampage up by three when he went

That would prove to be the final nail in the coffin for Vilness on this night as he was pulled in favour of backup Tom Mildenberger following the goal. Kitimat finally got on the board less than a minute later when Josh Slanina put a puck on net from a bad angle and it somehow squeezed between Hanson and the post. Despite a lot of back and forth play, there would be no more scoring in the period as

Prince Rupert took a 4-1 lead into the third.

The final frame was a hard fought, evenly played affair — until the final minutes when the Ice Demons took a pair of penalties to give Prince Rupert a 5-on-3 powerplay with 2:03 to go.

With 1:19 on the clock, Movold scored his second on the game with a shot from the side of the net that hit some bodies and jumped over the pads of Mildenberger and, adding a bit of insult to injury, Jordan Weir lobbed a

weak shot at the net from the top of the circle that found its way past Mildenberger with one second left to play. When the final buzzer sounded, the Rampage saluted the hometown crowd and celebrated a 6-1 victory over Kitimat.

“This really showed what coach Roger Atchison has been working on all season. The team is playing the system and playing as a team. The individualism is kept to a minimum and it is paying off ... the plan was to stick to the system, get the puck in deep and keep up the pressure,” said team president Ron German, who was behind the bench for the game.

“The team is really starting to gel. The lines are staying the same, we’re coming together to play as a team and there is a lot of talking out on the ice now, which helps,” said Palmer.

The Rampage will travel to Terrace on Saturday to play the Terrace River Kings, a team that has won four of their last five games, and both German and Palmer expect a tough battle when the teams hit the ice.

“With Terrace, we are going to have to work harder. It’s been a while since we have played that team and they have changed what the team does and how they play in the past ... they’re playing good, fast, clean hockey. They’re going to be a tough team to beat,” said German.

“They’re playing good hockey, but we’re going to keep playing the same game we play. Our dump and chase is awesome right now, and if we keep to the system we’re going to come out on top every time,” said Palmer.

Terrace fell 6-5 to Williams Lake on Sunday – recovering from a 4-0 deficit early on – after beating Lac La Hache 8-3 on Saturday.

wraps up for Terrace

By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Caledonia’s Sr. Girls and Boys volleyball teams are back from provincials, falling short of the results they were hoping for in the standings but representing the northwest with class and sportsmanship – and holding their own against teams from across the province.

The Sr. Girls lost a crucial match to College Heights to put them in the bottom pool of the tournament, and ultimately took 14th overall.

“We were close to beating so many of the top contending teams but not quite there in the mental part of the game,” said coach Carmen Didier. “I think the Grade 12s are sad that our team did not have a better placing at provincials but really they are at the beginning stages for a very strong volleyball program in Caledonia... I hope the seniors recognize how much more important that this is than winning games and tournaments,” she said, noting she is proud of the team’s performance this year, especially their placing at ‘A’ level tournaments.

And the Sr. Boys team placed 18 out of 20 with a two and four record.

“We played hard every game, we didn’t get blown out in any set, lost close matches,” said Sr. Boys coach Rich Clair, noting standout performances by Cam Netzel and Kai Davies.

The team would have benefitted from more competition throughout the regular season. “We actually matched up against most teams when it came to our play at the net, but where we suffered from lack of experience was in the deep defence and back court coverage.”

And Keel Haldane had a highlight of the tournament, placing sixth in the provincial spike competition.

Kitimat Winterhawks take first place in Salmon Arm Contributed

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Recently the Kitimat Bantam Rep Winterhawks made the long journey to Salmon Arm and returned home with gold.

The team was down to just nine skaters and one goalie, but it didn’t deter them. They came out strong against Revelstoke scoring on the first two shifts and powered their way to an 11-1 win.

The second game saw the team run into a hot Windermere goalie, but the battle was ultimately won by an equally hot Kitimat keeper, in a 3-0 shut out.

The third game was a hard hitting battle against Prince George. Prince George tried to wear down Kitimat’s defensemen with some big hits but Kitimat responded with many of their own. Down 2-0 after the first period, Kitimat regrouped and came out guns

blazing and took the game with a 5-2 victory.

The semi-final saw the team take on the host Salmon Arm, which was a step behind Kitimat the whole time.

Another strong second period propelled the team to a 5-1 win and a spot in the final against the undefeated Castlegar team. The first period was very even going back and forth in a 0-0 tie.

The second period saw some huge hits all over the ice as both teams cranked up the physical play. Kitimat pushed the pace and gained the upper hand resulting in a 1-0 lead.

The second period ended with Kitimat executing a perfect set face off and gaining a 2-0 lead.

The third period saw Castlegar come out strong and Kitimat tried to keep the lead at home. A packed arena saw the lead hold to the 11 minute mark when one of Kitimat’s three defensemen was ejected for a hard hit.

The final ten minutes was an all out frantic attack that saw Castlegar not only score on the power play, but carry on their momentum and tie the game with five minutes to go.

Kitimat then caught a break when a player was hauled down on a breakaway and a penalty shot was awarded.

While Kitimat would miss the penalty shot, the delay was crucial as it allowed the remaining players to rest. On the drop of the puck, Kitimat seized their opportunity and scored with three minutes to go.

After some amazing goaltending, blocked shots and great defensive play the team took first place with a 3-2 win.

Head coach Tim Minaker was impressed how his team was able to play with great discipline. They were the least penalized team in the tournament, while still being able to bring strong physical play when needed.

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Here are the Kitimat Bantam Rep Winterhawks, fresh off their gold medal win at a recent Salmon Arm tournament.

The team took first with a close 3-2 win in the final.
