Lions defeat Remax in girls’ U15 action Brittany Waite started the night on defence for the Remax Coast Mountain under-15 girls’ soccer team last Monday night. But as the game wore on, Waite found herself a tad more upfield, whether she was designated there or not, in the Prince Rupert Youth Soccer (PRYS) season kickoff. The striker was a constant threat for Remax, who had yet to acquire their season’s jerseys but found each other well enough. Waite managed a team-high five shots on net, with a few more going wide. One, however, found its mark past the Lions’ Club goaltender for Remax’s sole goal in a 2-1 loss. “I gotta work on my aim,” chuckled Waite after the game. Waite can be forgiven as Charles Hays’ soccer field slowly transformed into a swimming pool as the minutes ticked on and the ball lost all traction. Due to torrential downpours and frigid temperatures, Remax and their opponents, the Prince Rupert Lions Club only fielded eight or nine participants, which meant more playing time for the brave and wet, but also a better chance to keep warm by staying active.

Marc Page didn’t ride much himself this past winter at Shames Mountain. But he did get up on April 5 to help host the Loaded Sports Throwdown, a free event for skiers and snowboarders of any age to show their stuff. “I tweaked my knees and I thought they were pretty bad,” said Page last week. “But they ended up being okay. I was a little weary at first, but it turns out my knees were a little stronger than I thought they were.” He got 15 days of riding in this season, but usually likes to get between 25 and 35 days every year. Page’s Prince Rupert business, Loaded Sports, along with its many sponsors, provided prizes to the winners of each category on the table Find this link top on our website tojump, contact the editor or newsraoom… basic lift perfect for grabs or back flips and just as easy for beginners to learn on. “We got Nixon watches, Dragon goggles, Grenade gloves www.peacearchnews.and com t-shirts,” explained Page. “One thing that we enjoy doing after the event is whatever prizes we have left over, we’ll throw off the patio at Shames.” It’s like Boxing Day madness for some of the kids, trying to swipe their most coveted wants.

Joel McSorley won the Ski Open, Mason Di Leta took the Snowboard Under-12 and Paul Garry claimed first in the Ski 40+ division. The powder was a little wet for Page’s liking, but the group caught the sun before it disappeared during the following week. “It was decent, you know,” he said. “It wasn’t raining but it was borderline snow. If it was any warmer, it probably would have been too wet ... the snow was kind of moist and soft.”
