Council faced with decisions on new splash park COUNCIL MUST CONSIDER CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS OF SPLASH PARK, AS WELL AS RESOURCE CONSERVATION WHEN MAKING DECISION, SAYS STAFF REPORT ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Revelstoke splash park group is asking council to give support to its plan to build the facility in a city park — hopefully Farwell Park. "We definitely want Farwell," said Amanda Hathorn, the head of the Revelstoke Splash Park group. "It's well known to the community as a water play area. To bring the park back to that prior usage would be
great." A recommendation went to council on Tuesday, Jan. 12, to support in-principle the group's efforts to build the splash park. Approval would be conditional on the splash park group holding an open house and seeking public input on the design and location of the park. The group is forming a society in order to fundraise to build the park, however the operating and maintenance costs would be borne by the city. Council has expressed support for the
park in the past, so the recommendation was likely to go forward. The difficult part will have been deciding what type of water system would be used, and what park it should be located in. A report by Laurie Donato, the city's director of parks, recreation & culture, outlines the various costs associated with building the park. The biggest question is what kind of water system is used. The first option is a recirculating water
system that would see the water sent to the splash pad from a water tank, where the water would be filtered and treated. This is similar to what is used in a swimming pool. It would use 4,000 gallons of water per year at a cost of $26.50, but there would also be costs associated with managing the system, Donato writes. It would cost $615,000 to install and $8,000 per year to run, based on a 25-year lifespan. see Splash park, page 5

Business beat: Getting fit with Trans Canada Fitness IMOGEN WHALE
Special to the Review New Year’s Eve is a time for resolutions; one of the most common being to get into shape. Neil Jones, owner of Trans Canada Fitness, offers four simple but effective exercises that can be done in the comfort of your own home whenever you have a few minutes to spare. Jones has operated a gym in Revelstoke since 1983 with a goal of offering a comfortable, safe, non-intimidating workout atmosphere. He is both an exercise therapist and a certified personal trainer. In the Jones household, fitness is a family affair. Jones' wife Theresea and daughter Jaana are also both certified personal trainers. “Our first move is a lunge,” Neil says. “Lunges are good for everyone and anyone,
especially skiers and boarders.” Jones notes that it is important to keep your core activated, to keep all of the pressure in your heel, and to keep your front knee behind your toes and maintain a pelvic tilt. This means keeping your spine straight and not hinging forward at your waist. “If it's too difficult, step back into a lunge rather than forward,” Jones recommends, “and use the wall to touch for balance.” Next, Jones suggests grabbing a couple cans of soup as weights and trying a squat shoulder press. Keeping your knees behind your toes with the pressure in your heels, bend your knees 90 degrees so your femur is parallel to the floor. Your back is straight (which means it feels like you're sticking your butt out a bit, not tucking it in). As you stand up, bring your forearms to your shoulders in line with your ears and raise
them above your head. “Remember to keep a soft knee as you stand up, don't lock it when it’s straight,” Jones explains. Now grab a chair, table, or something that can support your weight. “We're going to do a triceps push up,” Jones says. “Bend your elbows, keep your pelvis square to the apparatus and your knees soft. Turn your core on and come down until you are 90 degrees at the elbow, then push back up.” Last, it's times to give those abs centre stage. Jones suggests finding a sofa or something you can hook your toes under. Lay on your back with your knees bent about 45 degrees. A simple way to ensure you have engaged your core is by bringing your belly button in and up, opening your chest and lengthening your back. Place your hands over your ears, look up to avoid neck strain, and bring yourself into a crunch.

Lower and repeat. “Start doing each move 10 times (this is one set) and try to work yourself up to three sets,” Jones explains. “Stop if anything hurts. These moves can be difficult; it's better to do it once slowly and correctly than thirty times wrong.” It's important to remember that media marketing of fitness isn't how fitness actually works. “I spend a lot of time dispelling rumours,” Jones says, “I'm happy to educate people to ensure they are doing what works best for their body.” Fitness is clearly both a passion and a priority for Jones. If you're unsure about doing the move correctly or have any questions, head on down to Trans Canada Fitness. The Jones family are happy to help and you may want to consider a private sessions to plan a short home routine.

Briefs: CBT increases Community Initiatives funding by 15% ALEX COOPER
gion to the Revelstoke Arts Council. To learn more about the programs visit cbt.org/cipaap.
The Columbia Basin Trust is increasing the amount of money in the Community Initiatives and Affected Areas programs by 15 per cent to more than $4 million for each of the next five years. “We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with local governments and First Nations to identify local priorities and deliver benefits to Basin communities,” said Neil Muth, President and CEO, in a news release. “The ultimate goal is to support the projects that are important to residents, and we know this increase will help communities do more.” The amount of money available across the basin is now $4.2 million, up from $3.6 million last year. For Revelstoke, this means there will be $404,269 in funding to be given out to community groups. Last year, 49 community groups applied for $707,044 in funding, with $339,519 available. “We are very pleased that CBT has decided to increase the funding for this program,” said Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee in a news release. “Over the past 18 years, the program has provided significant support for many community projects that could not have proceeded without the funds provided by the Trust, and these projects have really benefitted our residents and improved their quality of life in many ways.” The Community Initiatives and Affected Area programs support local non-profits ranging from Community Connections to the Revelstoke Cycling Association to the Le-
ARTS COUNCIL SEEKS THEATRE FUNDING
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com
The Revelstoke Arts Council is asking for $10,000 in funding to support the operation of the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. The arts council is asking the City of Revelstoke to provide the funding out of the Resort Municipality Infrastructure Fund. The money would go towards the $22,000 paid to the theatre manager each year. "There is no core funding for this position," states a staff report by Laurie Donato, the city's director of parks, recreation & culture. "Wages for this position along with the operation of this facility are dependent on fundraising throughout the year." In recent years, funding for the position has come from provincial gaming grants, the Columbia Basin Trust and tourism funding. Council was set to discuss the requestion at it's meeting on Jan. 12, after press time. Visit the Review website for a report on this debate.

Treehouse hotel annexation request approved by province ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A boutique treehouse hotel development is moving to the next stage after an annexation request was approved by the province. The provincial cabinet approved the request by David and Shelley Evans to have an 18-acre property at the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort annexed to the city on December 17. Now, the Evanses are working on putting a re-zoning package together for the city in order to move forward on the hotel development. "I hope to have the package together, concept and the initial documents back to them by the end of this month, early next month," David Evans told the Review, add-
ing that they'll be working on more detailed reports, like an infrastructure study, while things progress. "If we do an open house, we'll have documents ready," he said. The annexation approval took nearly two years and was met with opposition by the resort, who called the hotel proposal a "parasitic development" in a letter to the province opposing the annexation. Evans confirmed they are still planning on building a treehouse-style boutique hotel on the property, which is located on Camozzi Road, just south of RMR. "The idea of the unit is that they would be built off of an elevated platform around the trees using the gradient of the land," he said. "We would use different methods to elevate it to give you that feeling of being in the trees."

Skier suing RMR over injury ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A skier and the Province of Alberta are suing Revelstoke Mountain Resort after the skier was injured at the resort in December 2013. Dylan Alastair Ross and the province are suing the resort after Ross was injured on Dec. 29, 2013. The Statement of Claim filed in BC Supreme Court on Dec. 23, 2015, says he was skiing down the lower part of the mountain when he went over a blind roll and crashed suddenly into a drainage ditch. The crash resulted in multiple fractures to Ross' left leg and other injuries. The claim says he suffers from permanent, partial disability; impairment of capacity, sever pain and suffering, loss of
enjoyment of life, and more. The lawsuit claims the resort failed to properly maintain the run and warn of the hazard posed by the ditch. It says the resort should have known the hazard could lead to injury and should have closed the run. Ross is seeking compensation for the cost of past and future care, and the loss of past and future care, as well as general damages and special damages. No dollar figure is attached to the claim. The Province of Alberta is suing to recoup the medical costs it incurred to care for Ross. RMR has 21 days from the filing of the Statement of Claim to file its defense. The resort said it couldn't comment on the case as it's before the court.

Splash park group wants flow-through system
Thief targets vending machines
Splash park, from page 1 The second option is a flow-through system, which would see city water pumped onto the pad, then drained into the storm sewer. It would be substantially cheaper to install, at $378,000, but would cost more than twice as much to run — $22,000 per year — due to much higher water consumption, which is estimated at 24,000 gallons per day. A third option, for which no costing was provided, is a retain-and-reuse system, that would see grey water collected and used for things like irrigation and washroom facilities. Hathorn said she will try to convince council to chose the flow-through option due to the lower initial cost. "I would like to see it happen in two to three years versus six to 10 years. If it's a $600,000 project, it's not going to happen for some time," she said. "I think financially it makes the most sense but we'll have to see what council says and what the public says." She said she worked at a splash park before and the flow-through systems are generally easier to manage, though she is conscious of the added water use. There would also be costs associated with the various play features, ranging

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Even the vending machines aren't safe in Revelstoke these days. The Revelstoke RCMP are looking for help after a man stole more than $200 from two vending machines on Thursday, Jan. 7. The first theft took place at the Alpine Inn, where the suspect removed the lock cylinder of the vending machine and stole about $200 in change and several bottles of Coke. He then went over to the Days Inn, where he pulled the same trick and made off with an unknown amount of change. Security footage from the Days Inn may have caught the man and his vehicle in the act. He is described as being in his mid- to late50s, with sandy brown hair, and glasses. He was wearing a dark ball cap, black hooded shirt, white shirt with an image on it, and jeans, and had a cross-strap bag. His vehicle appears to be an early-2000s model Chevrolet Venture mini van, silver or beige in colour. Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP at 250-837-5255 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

"Should the project move forward, council direction on a preferred water management option is required as whichever option is chosen will have a significant impact on the proposed budget for the project," writes Donato in her report. "In making their decision, Council must consider capital and operating cost implica-

REVELSTOKE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
2015 REVIEW The Revelstoke Community Foundation is pleased to provide a highlight of activities over the last year. Great news is that the market value of the endowment is approaching 2 million dollars. It actually went over $2M earlier this year, but recent changes in the world economy have eroded some of the gains. We cannot over emphasize that most of these dollars are for the direct benefit of the residents and the Revelstoke Community. Thank-you for entrusting the Foundation to manage these monies.
WE VALUE YOUR PROPERTY AS MUCH AS YOU DO.
This year the Foundation disbursed $84,954 of investment earnings: • Eighteen grants totaling $38,385 were approved this spring to support projects that included arts, learning, environment, community events and more. • Forty scholarships amounting to $22,525 were awarded to graduating students from Revelstoke Secondary School. • Eleven charities were recipients of designated fund distributions totaling $24,044.

The House of Commons is an interesting mix of history, law-making and theater. When we took our seats on December 3 for the opening of Canada’s 42nd Parliament I couldn’t help but stop and think of Sir John A. Macdonald, our first Prime Minister in 1867, and the fact that here in the House is where Canada was “made” over the last 148 years! What a humbling experience it is, and what an honor it is to be there representing the 107,589 people who live within the 64,000-square-kilometre Kootenay Columbia riding. My sincere thanks to the 74 per cent of eligible voters who took the time to vote on October 19 — it truly is the best way to demonstrate that you care about democracy and the kind of country that you want Canada to be! The sitting of Parliament begins with tradition, from the knock on the door of the House by the Usher of the Black Rod with an invitation to walk to the Senate to meet with the Governor General to officially open the session, to the election of the Speaker of the House (Geoff Regan) who gets reluctantly dragged to the Speaker’s chair by the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. The staged reluctance comes from history where legend has it that in jolly old England if the reigning monarch didn’t like the Speaker’s decisions it was off
with his head! The next day it was down to business with the reading of the Liberal government’s Speech from the Throne by the Governor General in the Senate Chamber, which was then voted on in the House of Commons. While the Speech included hopeful initiatives that will be good for Canada (as I said during the campaign there are many similarities between the NDP and the Liberal Party Platforms) it also led to the first disappointment. As part of the debate on the Speech from the Throne we proposed a subamendment whose purpose was to benefit “some of Canada’s most vulnerable citizens, including: — Seniors through an increase to the Guaranteed Income Supplement; middle class families through reducing taxes on the first income bracket (the approved Liberal’s tax cut for the middle class benefits people making from $45,000 to $90,000, with nothing for the lowest income earners); — Low income earners by introducing a $15 per hour minimum wage for federally regulated jobs; — And support to those struggling to enter the workforce with a robust and reliable Employment Insurance program.” Our proposal was voted down by both the Liberal and Conservative parties. While Parliament only sat for seven days in December, it was a very busy time with one session finishing just before 8 p.m. I was privileged to be one of the first Members of Parliament to give their maiden speech (watch it youtu. be/1uo9wkxKCDI ). We are required to be in our seats in the House for our assigned duty days, for all votes, and for question period. The House resumes sitting on January 25 and goes until June 23, with a total of six weeks off during that period. I plan on providing you with regular
updates but also want to give you an opportunity to be a part of what happens in Parliament. While being the third party (we refer to ourselves as the Progressive Opposition, because it’s true!) limits the number of questions we are able to ask in question Period, if there a specific question you would like me to ask the Liberal government, please describe the issue and its significance to the riding and/or Canada, including references and sources, and what the specific ask is. I will do my best to get it on to the floor. The second opportunity is longer term. Government ministers introduce legislation as they see fit; for the rest of us our names go into a hat for the opportunity to put forward a private member’s bill for consideration by the House. I was drawn 111th, which means I will be able to table a bill in 2017 or 2018, as they are done sequentially. While this does seem to be a long ways away, it does take time to draft good legislation and there are many Members of Parliament who won’t get any opportunity to put forward a bill during the four years of this session of Parliament. What do you think the priority should be for our riding? To provide your input or for any other concerns please email wayne.stetski@ parl.gc.ca or phone 250-919-9104. My next update will provide a complete listing of Constituency office locations and contact information in Ottawa, Nelson and Cranbrook. In the interim I am continuing my visits to communities around the riding along with an opportunity for you to book one-on-one meetings. Prior to Christmas I met with constituents in Elkford, Sparwood, Fernie, Kimberley, Cranbrook and Nelson, with more to come. Happy New Year to all — I do hope that 2016 is a great year for you!

Lucas Myers creating play about Revelstoke ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Lucas Myers rolled up to the Taco Club on his fat bike. The Nelson-based theatre actor/writer/ director/producer asked me to meet him there after a day ski touring at the Fingers with Keith McNab. He was hungry, I wanted to get out of the office late on a Friday afternoon, so it worked for both of us. Myers was in town conducting research for his newest play, The Revelstoke Project, commissioned by the Revelstoke Arts Council. The goal is for him to use "his talent for storytelling and character work to celebrate the many facets that make up the world of Revelstoke," according to a press release sent out by Miriam Manley, the manager of the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. "I've never done anything like that and it sounded fascinating," Myers told me when I asked him how the project came about. "Then I got freaked out. I'm an outsider coming in to talk about the town. "I've let that go because that's what's fun about it." Myers is a veteran theatre professional who's best know for his one-man performances such as his solo version of the original Star Wars trilogy. He's performed in Revelstoke three times and I was fortunate to catch the last two of those. One was Deck, a play about a man who moves his family from the city to the Kootenays, and then runs into trouble trying to build a deck. The other was The Cromoli Brothers, a vaudeville production in which one of the brothers doesn't show up, leaving Myers to play all the parts. In both cases, the plays were very funny, with Myers successfully inhabiting numerous characters. "I like to find a common human experience, or a common North American experience, and use that to look at human behaviour a little bit," he tells me before ordering three tacos — pork, beef and chicken (the pork was his favourite). He hopes that background will come in handy as he works on The Revelstoke Project. Myers spent the past week in Revelstoke. He arrived last Wednesday and was quickly immersed in the community, getting a tour of the mill, going to drop-in curling, getting a history lesson from Cathy English, meeting the mayor and getting a snowboard lesson at Revelstoke Mountain Resort and more, all the while talking to people along the way.

Stranded travelers say thanks for holiday help
Editor, I have incredible gratitude to the community of Revelstoke. My husband was traveling back from Calgary to Kamloops after moving his mother into her new apartment
on Dec. 30 when our car broke down in Revelstoke. A local man came to the rescue and tried to help him get it going, which included even climbing under the car to tap on the fuel tank. Then he drove my husband
around to find an auto repair place that was open. At this stage it was 4 p.m. and everyone was shutting down for New Years. We found Silverline Auto, who immediately towed the car and diagnosed the problem. Unfortunately, we could not get the part so
A powerful connection to what matters most
we had to leave the car behind until after the holidays. The local man then proceeded to get my husband to the Greyhound before the next bus left for Kamloops. My husband got home safe and was able to spend New Years with his family. As soon as we were able to get the part to Silverline Auto he fixed it right away and under our estimated budget. So for those traveling through Revelstoke, I hope that if you ever break down you are in Revelstoke as you will be well taken care of!
.
With lots of gratitude, Shaun & Cher Doolan, Kamloops

New avalanche research looking into terrain choices ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com You're going out ski touring with friends. You've read the bulletin but now you're wondering — where should we ski? New research at Simon Fraser University (SFU) hopes to provide more information to recreational backcountry travellers by looking at the practices of professionals. "We want to better understand how mountain guides choose terrain to mitigate avalanche hazard under different types of conditions," said Pascal Haegeli, the research chair in avalanche risk management at SFU. "We're working with a number of operators to monitor how they assess the conditions, what type of terrain they chose and where they actually ski."
into very steep, very aggressive terrain. It's just a matter of deciding when that time is." Haegeli is working with with one Masters student, one PhD student, and one post-doctoral student who is also a ski guide. They will be publishing research over the course of the next five years and are also working to turn the research into practical products. Haegeli hopes the research will eventually lead to detailed terrain guides for backcountry users. He spoke of the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale, which currently divides terrain into simple, challenging and complex areas, and said he hopes that could be extended to develop maps that are condition dependent. Those maps could be accessed by the user when they head out. "If we have a persistent slab that we know is in certain areas, maybe we can come up with maps
There's social science involved in his program that is of great interest to us because we know there's more to making good decisions in the mountains than just doing hard science. ~ Karl Klassen, Avalanche Canada The goal, he said, is to study what professional ski so that recreationalists can have a baseline of what's acceptable terrain given certain avalanche conditions. "The idea is based on that information we can capture their operational expertise around that, and then hopefully extract the rules they use to make these choices," Haegeli said. "Based on that information we hope to eventually develop tools for the amateur recreationalist." The new research position was launched by SFU in December. The five-year, $1.025 million project was created through a collaboration between the university, Avalanche Canada, the Canadian Avalanche Association, and Heli-Cat Canada. It is being led by Haegeli, an avalanche researcher with more than a decade of experience in the field. Avalanche Canada is contributing $15,000 per year to the program and is also serving in an advisory capacity. "The interesting thing about Pascal's program to us is it's a multi-disciplinary program," said Karl Klassen, the avalanche warning service manager for Avalanche Canada. "It's not just hard physical science, but there's also human psychology and decision making stuff. There's social science involved in his program that is of great interest to us because we know there's more to making good decisions in the mountains than just doing hard science." The main focus of the research is a project that will track ski guides with several heli- and catskiing outfits in B.C., including CMH Revelstoke and Selkirk Tangiers Heliskiing. Guides with those companies are being equipped with GPS devices so researchers can see what runs they opened that day and what they actually skied. That information can be then be related to the avalanche conditions for that day. "The operators have well established procedures how they assess conditions and how they document their process," said Haegeli. "That provides a nice environment for doing this research." He hopes to eventually expand the program to recreationalists and other backcountry operations. "That would allow us to see what are the differences, where are the strengths and weaknesses of people, so we can start to look at developing tools that target existing users," he said. Klassen, who is one of the guides carrying a GPS this winter, said the research is an extension of the work that went into the Avaluator. In that case, guides were surveyed to see what kind of terrain choices were made depending on conditions. The research at SFU will take that to next level. "What it's doing is it's creating an expert database that will help inform when it is reasonable to be in what kind of terrain," he said. "There's certainly days where it's perfectly reasonable to go

that would take that into account," he said. "How exactly those products will look like is unclear at the moment. It depends on the results that we get." Klassen said the tracking could lead to a baseline that could be used by recreationalists. They could get an idea of what a professional would ski that day, then make their own terrain choice based on their own risk tolerance. "In a perfect world you'd be able to look at your device and see what a professional would do in these kind of conditions today in this kind of terrain," he said. "Would they go here or not? That would help you decide if you'd be willing to accept the risk presented on that day or not."

The Silent Disease -- GLAUCOMA Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness across Canada. It is most commonly an asymptomatic and painless disease that if undetected will process and lead to irreversible vision loss.
RMR hosting freeride comp
What is glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of diseases that ultimately leads to degeneration of the optic nerve leading to loss of nerve tissue and ultimately vision loss. The precise cause of glaucoma is unknown but is commonly associated with increased pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure). How is glaucoma detected? The most prevalent form of glaucoma, primary open angle glaucoma, is most commonly detected during a routine eye examination. Acute angle closure glaucoma does produce symptoms of nausea, blurred vision, red eye) and the feeling of eye pain (this is not a common type of glaucoma). During a routine eye exam we check the intraocular pressure with the known, dreaded, air puff test; we perform a visual field screening test; we closely observe the appearance of the health of the optic nerve and the drainage point of the fluid in the eye. Routine eye examinations then allow us to monitor for any changes in these test results and can determine if early glaucoma is occurring. How is glaucoma treated? The most common treatment for glaucoma is a pressure lowering eye drop that is prescribed one or two times a day. There are also different surgical procedures that can be performed and success varies depending on the type of glaucoma that the patient has. Early intervention is critical to reduce the risk of vision loss. What are some of the risk factors of glaucoma? Age - risk increases over the age of 60. Family history Medical conditions - the most common systemic conditions associated with increased glaucoma risk are diabetes, heart disease and both high and low blood pressure concerns. Previous eye injury and use of corticosteroids Regular eye examinations are highly recommended to screen for and prevent glaucoma. We are always available to answer any further questions you may have.

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com More than 100 skiers and snowboarders will descend upon Revelstoke Mountain Resort this week with the hopes of qualifying for the Freeride World Tour. The resort is playing host to the RMR Freeride Open this Thursday and Friday, Jan. 14–15. The event is a three-star qualifier event for the Freeride World Tour.
"It's basically people who are aspiring freeskiers and snowboarders participate in these events and try to gain points," said Peter Nielsen, the resort's vice president. "This is a level three event. At the top level would be the Freeride World Tour." The event takes place over two days. On Thursday, the 120 competitors take part in a qualifier on Separate Reality. On Friday, the finalists will compete in North Bowl. It's a similar format to the Freeski World Tour event that took place at RMR from 2010–2012. That event was usurped by the Freeride World tour in 2013, but they pulled out of Revelstoke after the 2014 competition was canceled due to high avalanche hazard. "The FWT is a bit of a media circus," said Nielsen. "This is more about the nitty gritty of the actual sport." The 120 competitors are divided into four categories — skiing and snowboarding for men and women. They'll earn points which will help them qualify for the Freeride World Tour. There will be terrain closures during the competition. Separate Reality will be closed on Thursday, while parts of North Bowl will be closed on Friday. "We're really excited to host this," said Nielsen. "We think Revelstoke is at the heart of the freeskiing world in many ways and we're really looking forward to hosting some of the best skiers in North America."

Grizzlies pick up big comeback win over Chase ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com There was a boisterous atmosphere in the Revelstoke Grizzlies dressing room after the team overcame a 2-1 deficit to beat the Chase Heat on Saturday. "That was amazing," said captain Kenny Batke after the game. "That's two wins this weekend, so what's there not to be excited about?" The 3-2 victory over the Chase Heat at the Forum on Saturday came on the heels of a 4-2 win over the North Okanagan Knights on Friday. The victories brought the Grizzlies to within eight poinst of the Heat for third place in the Doug Birks Division, with a game in hand. On Friday, the Grizzlies began a stretch of mostly-home games by hosting the Knights. Brady Mende scored twice, including the game winner, while Ryan Hozjan and Ullar Wiatzka also got goals to lead Revelstoke to a 4-3 win. Trevor Dilauro picked up the win for the Grizzlies. On Saturday, the Grizzlies hosted the Chase Heat for the first time this season.
A division of
The team was looking for their first win of the season against their division rivals. Michael Fidanza started the scoring for Chase with a goal nine minutes into the first period. Mende responded for Revelstoke about 10 minutes later to even the score heading into the second. The second period was scoreless until Alex Durbeniuk put one past Grizzlies goalie Aidan Doak to make it 2-1 Chase. In the third, the Grizzlies put the pressure on the Heat, delivering several big hits and generating numerous scoring chances, however they were unable to get a puck past Chase netminder Daniel Toews until the second half of the period. Finally, with the Grizzlies on a power play, Ryan Pereverzoff fired a shot home from the side of the net to tie the score with 7:30 left to play. Four minutes later, Berry knocked in a centring effort by Wyatt Gottschalk to give Revelstoke a 3-2 lead. After that, it was a matter of shutting the door the rest of the way and skating away with the victory. "We battled hard all game. We were all
over them," said Hozjan. "It was nice to bury those two in the last 10." Coach Ryan Parent said he liked the team effort the Grizzlies showed against Chase. "It felt today like we were a complete team, and that's what it takes to win in the playoffs," he said. "I felt we played playoff hockey this weekend." He said he never doubted the team would come back against the Heat. "Our bench is pretty good. Our leaders keep a calm bench and they know we can have success if we stick to the game plan," he said. The Grizzlies played the Kamloops Storm at the Forum on Tuesday, Jan., 12, after press time. The Storm lead the division with 51 points. "Kamloops is a possible matchup for playoffs, so we want to make sure we play the right way there and we come away with two points," said Parent. This weekend, the Grizzlies host the Princeton Posse on Friday before heading to Sicamous to face the Eagles on Saturday.
