▼ AUTO INSURER RELEASES ITS TOP 2015 ‘HALL OF SHAME’ FRAUD CLAIMS
Syrian refugees AbdelHamied Habiese, 13, and his brother Sadeel Habiese, 20 months, are among a group of newcomers being temporarily housed at a hotel in Surrey.

ICBC is vowing to do more to bust auto insurance fraudsters whose scams add an estimated $100 a year to the premiums all other drivers pay. The public auto insurer released its top “Hall of Shame” fraud claims for 2015 where B.C. residents tried to scam the system last year. They include: Dish Dodger – A man claimed his crash injuries were so severe he couldn’t help his wife wash the dishes, but investigators later got footage of him lifting a box of heavy floor tiles at his work site. He was fined $1,500 for fraud.

Recently landed in Surrey from the chaos and bloodshed they left behind in Syria, a dozen refugees gathered in a North Surrey hotel last week to describe their experience in Canada. They were at a press gathering as local grocer Fruiticana donated bags of groceries to the families. Fruiticana founder Tony Singh committed to
provide enough groceries to feed 500 families for seven to nine days. Ola Katabi has been here just two weeks and says she loves Canada. “It’s natural,” the 15-year-old said as she beamed. “It’s beautiful.” It’s a far cry from where she just left. “In Syria, it’s difficult,” Katabi said. It’s an understatement coming from a girl fleeing a country gripped in a complex civil
war, where thousands of innocent people are bombed indiscriminately. The world, including Canada, has started to pay attention since atrocities have come to light. As part of a federal Liberal campaign promise in last fall’s election, 25,000 refugees are heading to Canada in the coming months. continued on page 4

Many have already arrived and more are to come, with hundreds expected to settle in Surrey. Scores of them are being housed temporarily at a hotel. One of the biggest barriers, they say, is becoming familiar with a new language. Katpahi Abdelrazqe spoke through an interpreter and said language is definitely the biggest hurdle he faces. “So far, I can’t pinpoint any (significant) challenges,” he said. “Language is definitely the biggest.” His six children, aged two to 12, are content and are looking forward to getting back to school, Abdelrazque said. “God willing, they are very happy to be going to school this year and continuing their education.” The growing refugee contingent was the
subject of a public forum in Surrey last week. On Wednesday night, about 350 people packed Fleetwood Park Secondary School to discuss how they could help refugees heading to the city.

looking for ways to help. The forum was intended to provide clarity on what could be done. “We had an overwhelming level of support from the community,” Villeneuve said in an interview with The Leader on Thursday.
The forum connected those interested with agencies that could accept their assistance. The city is acting as a facilitator. Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge Bill Fordy gave a presentation to the crowd, noting the Mounties expect no security problems with the new arrivals. Most of the refugees who have arrived are women and children, Villeneuve noted. “So far, 60 per cent are under 18,” she said. “And one in four are under five. “Right now there are 80 children (in Surrey),” Villeneuve said, adding the school district has indicated it will be able to accommodate the youngsters. The city is planning to schedule another information gathering in the coming months as more refugees arrive. “In the spring, we will probably be doing a welcoming event,” Villeneuve said. “We’re just trying to be as supportive as possible.”
▶ ICBC INVESTIGATIONS TO BE EXPANDED from page 1
Double Dipper – A Vancouver woman who claimed she couldn’t go back to work because of her crash injuries. An anonymous tip helped investigators confirm she had worked since the crash, collecting two paycheques – one from her employer and one from ICBC. Her fraud conviction netted her a one-year driving suspension and $1,750 fine. Mom Cover-up – A Vancouver island mother claimed her Audi was stolen and crashed and that her sons with access to the car were home. But phone records put one son at the scene of the crash and BC Ferry terminal cameras caught the same son buying a ticket. Both were convicted of giving false statements. The mom was fined $2,300, while the son was fined $1,150 and got a one-year driving suspension, plus a 90-day jail term because his licence was already suspended.
Dash Cam Disclosure – A Lower Mainland caught another vehicle sideswiping his on dash cam video and excitedly shared the footage with ICBC. His claim was denied because the video also showed he wasn’t actually driving, as he’d claimed. An unlicensed driver was behind the wheel. Electronic Exposure – A Fraser Valley man was busted by his own BMW after he claimed the car was stolen and burnt to a crisp in a nearby park. The vehicle’s technology proved the man’s key fob had been used at the time of the incident, contrary to what he claimed. Bus Blues – A bus hit a parked fire truck while turning in a bus loop. After all passengers exited and the driver exchanged information with the fire truck driver, another man claimed to have been on board the bus and later sought compensation. Security camera video showed the man was never on the
bus. He was fined and jailed one night for fraud. ICBC conducted 7,500 fraud investigations last year and its special investigations unit has secured 550 fraud convictions since 2010. “We’re going to devote more resources than we ever have to rooting out fraud,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said, adding the special investigations unit is being expanded and a new fraud analytic tool is being deployed. An estimated 10 to 20 per cent of auto insurance claims are at least exaggerated if not fraudulent and common scenarios include embellished injuries or owners who falsely claim their car was stolen when they actually sold it. Organized fraud includes planned staged collisions and “jump-in” schemes where phoney passengers falsely claim to have been in a vehicle that crashed.

▼ EAGLE PICTURE NOT AS ROSY AS STATED Re: “Bald eagle numbers have soared over the decades,” The Leader, Jan 20. Migratory birds moving in and feeding is a much different situation from a population rise, which can only be estimated by the number of nests in the area, the number of offspring successfully reared and their survival rate. No doubt there are more eagles seen than there once were, but this does not alter the fact that in places of high human population and urban development, there are fewer eagles nesting than there once were. It also depends on how selective you are about “when” you measure from. Taking numbers for comparison from the DDT “eagle depletion” years makes the rise look very impressive, but back when this insecticide was widely used, the birds were facing possible extinction and so working from here makes a great starting point for a positive spin. During winter, increased numbers might now be up due to a change of feeding habit (more ducks – which are plentiful – and fewer fish, for example), or perhaps weather conditions elsewhere. Some years you see a lot of snowy owls coming in to over-winter, but many are starving and have come to the area because they are having trouble. The Lower Mainland is a special case in winter as it is one of the few places in Canada that doesn’t turn into an ice box, the consequence being many birds flock here to feed. The situation is therefore a good deal more complex than “whoopee – more eagles.” The truth is, in many places nesting sites are losing out to development. Stephen Bolwell, Surrey
Pipeline was here first ▼ INDUSTRIES PRODUCE OUR CONSUMER GOODS The Kinder Morgan pipeline runs through our neighbourhood. When the pipeline was built 60 years ago, this was not a residential area. The pipeline was already more than 30 years old when the city rezoned this area for housing, collecting development permit fees at the time and residential taxes ever since.

And there are people who’ve built homes near blueberry farms and are now trying to ban the propane cannons the farmers use to scare birds away from their berries. If you knew, or ought to have known, what you were getting into when you chose where to live, it’s not someone else’s responsibility to adjust the world to your taste. Those pipelines, chicken farms and propane cannons all contribute to your enjoyment of a fresh-baked blueberry muffin. Alan T. Chattaway Surrey
VIEWPOINT
This is your province on weed BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher
With unlicensed marijuana dispensaries popping up in urban areas and thousands of unregulated medical licences for home growing still in legal limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its promise to legalize recreational pot use. Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancouver with provincial ministers last week, federal Health Minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent. These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying. At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational marijuana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclusive rights do it by mail as permitted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court. That
would shut out the rash of supposedly medical storefronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate. Philpott said the question is “premature” and federal-provincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting. Ottawa will have a “task force” too. Vancouver descended into a pot store free-for-all due to benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools. Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted issuing business licences. One recent proposal in the Victoria suburb of View Royal came from a fellow who insisted marijuana extract had cured his cancer. This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot products with exotic names.
B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his just-announced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March. Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the province’s monopoly liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with non-union private stores to get in on the action. “There are public health officials that I’ve talked to who say that the co-location of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.” Yes, liquor stores check ID. But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government
stores deserves sober second thought and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use. Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades. The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak. Whatever the source of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C. For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter
and columnist for Black Press.

He said some cities in the region fuel that when they “share the view that TransLink is a bloated bureaucracy, wasting dollars and not getting much done.” The B.C. government has so far rejected further governance reforms at TransLink, but Allen’s report argues it’s needed because TransLink’s structure is “unduly complicated and confusing” and leaves the public with virtually no interest or understanding of who is accountable. Allen suggested some mayors don’t publicly support TransLink because their aim is to turn it into a regional municipal utility. He argues against giving mayors more control over TransLink, adding an independent commissioner should be reinstated to approve significant fare or tax hikes, rather than the the mayors, who should only direct regional planning and long-term investment, not operational decisions. Allen said TransLink’s structure with multiple operating subsidiaries with their own boards of directors results in an “awkward” organization with extra costs and potential for confusion. A small change won’t be enough to regain public trust, Allen predicted, adding the plebiscite result proved Premier Christy Clark’s requirement of voter approval for any new tax was doomed to fail. “You cannot ask the public to impose a tax on itself, no matter how sound the investment plan.” Peter Fassbender, the province’s minister for TransLink, rejects some of Allen’s assertions, including the call for further governance reform and removal of bridge and road authority.

Mountie back in court over firearms charges ▶ FACING EIGHT COUNTS, CONST. DAVID MATTHEW CLARKE OPTS FOR A TRIAL BY JUDGE ALONE OVER JURY KEVIN DIAKIW
A Surrey Mountie facing several gun charges has swapped a jury of his peers to a judge alone.
Surrey RCMP Const. David Matthew Clarke appeared before Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey Monday in New Westminster Supreme Court, where he faced eight gun-related charges. That’s down from 12, as Arnold-Bailey ruled the evidence from a police search of a Surrey home was inadmissible. The evidence found at a Chilliwack home is still before the courts.
Clarke is facing charges related to possession of an FN FAL semi-automatic rifle and a Colt semi-automatic handgun. The date of the alleged offenses occurred Oct. 1, 2010 in Surrey and Chilliwack. He is due back in court on Friday, when Arnold-Bailey will give her reasons for dismissing the evidence at the Surrey residence. A trial will resume from there.

Charges follow policeinvolved shooting SHEILA REYNOLDS
Two men, one of them from Surrey, have been charged in connection with a daytime police-involved shooting that took place in a store parking lot in New Westminster Jan. 15. New Westminster police were initially called for a report of a man causing a disturbance around noon near a Walmart in the Queensborough area. The man was taken into custody, but then a second incident unfolded involving a different man, and a police officer fired a gun. The second man was taken to hospital, but later released. Surrey resident Nathan McVannell, 32, has since been charged with aggravated assault, use of a firearm while attempting to commit an indictable offence, theft, resisting arrest,

possession of a prohibited firearm and breaching firearms prohibition. “Our Major Crime Unit continues to investigate the events from last week, and is asking for any witnesses to please call us,” said Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott of the New Westminster Police Department. “These are very complex investigations that require a lot of expertise, and information from witnesses is extremely valuable.” The Independent Investigations Office, which probes police involved shootings or deaths, is also investigating. Langley’s Henry Bennett Smith, 31, (the first man who was arrested) was charged with breach of probation. Anyone with information is asked to call the NWPD Major Crime Unit at 604-5255411.

B.C. economy to grow: Credit union Your Locksmith in Surrey, BC for Over 35 Years!

▶ BUT POLL FINDS PESSIMISTIC RESIDENTS PLAN TO SLASH SPENDING JEFF NAGEL
B.C.’s economy is forecast to grow at a healthy clip of three per cent this
year, despite growing global financial uncertainty that has seen stock markets plunge
and the Canadian dollar swoon in tandem with the dive in oil prices. That prediction comes from Central 1 Credit Union Senior Economist Bryan Yu, who says the province will lead Canada in growth and should weather the global economic turmoil well, thanks to improved exports and tourism due to the weak loonie. “B.C. will continue to benefit from low interest rates and a lower currency, despite challenges presented by a weak commodity sector,” Yu said. “Lifted by household demand and
housing investment, economic growth will ease slightly from 2015 but remain moderate.” Yu also expects economic growth to average three per cent from 2017 on, with steady consumer activity and higher business investment tied to major project construction. His forecast assumes one large liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal will be built in B.C. and Yu cautioned growth would be slower at about 2.5 per cent and unemployment higher by 0.5 per cent if a new LNG plant fails
to materialize. He predicts unemployment will edge up slightly in 2016 to 6.3 per cent before declining in subsequent years. The forecast is in contrast to a new Insights West poll that shows B.C. residents have become more pessimistic about the economy and many are adopting a frugal mindset. Two in five of those surveyed expect B.C.’s economy to decline and at least 40 per cent said they plan to slash spending on entertainment, new clothes or dining out.

Former finance minister Carole Taylor has signed on as an advisor to Premier Christy Clark as the B.C. government examines what to do with the carbon tax Taylor introduced in 2008. Clark announced the appointment Monday, saying she will call on Taylor’s experience on advancing the province’s greenhouse gas reduction program. Taylor will work from the premier’s Vancouver office and be paid a nominal $1 a year. As a former Vancouver city councillor and advisor to Ottawa, Taylor will also give input on the province’s effort to rein in soaring housing prices in Metro Vancouver, Clark said. Taylor told reporters she has spoken to Harvard and Stanford Universities in the U.S. on the B.C. carbon tax experience, and is looking forward to providing policy advice to B.C. on where to go from here.
The B.C. tax has been frozen at $30 a tonne since 2013, adding about seven cents to the price of a litre of gasoline with similar increases for natural gas and other heating fuels. Taylor is the latest of a series of special advisors to Clark, after former Encana CEO Gwyn Morgan and former Canfor and Finning executive Jim Shepard. Taylor served one term in former premier Gordon Campbell’s cabinet before retiring from politics in late 2008, when she was appointed Carole chair of a new federal Taylor government economic advisory panel. Since leaving B.C. politics, Taylor served on the board of directors of the TD Bank and as chancellor of Simon Fraser University.

▼ CITY OF SURREY WINS NUMBERCRUNCHING AWARD – 18TH YEAR IN A ROW Surrey’s excellence in financial reporting has been recognized again, as it scoops a national award for budgeting for the 18th year in a row. Surrey’s annual financial report for 2015 has been judged by the Canadian Review Committee for the Government Finance Officers Association for the U.S. and Canada, and is listed as a winner for the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting. Surrey was recognized as demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” designed to clearly communicate the municipality’s financial picture. “The City of Surrey goes beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted Linda accounting principles to provide full discloHepner sure and I am pleased that we have been recognized for our continued commitment to openness and accountability at city hall,” Mayor Linda Hepner said in a release. The award recognizes quality in governmental accounting and financial reporting and represents a significant accomplishment by a municipal government and its management.
▼ GUILDFORD AQUATIC CENTRE’S DESIGN GOES OVER SWIMMINGLY Wood Design & Building Magazine, in partnership with the Canadian Wood Council, has announced that Surrey’s new Guildford Aquatic Centre is a recipient of its 2015-16 North American Wood Design Award of Honour. The new 75,000-sq.-ft. Guildford Aquatic Centre, which opened March 23, 2015, was designed by Bing Thom Architects and associate firm Shape Architecture. It features an eight-lane 50m FINA-certified Olympic-size main pool; a leisure pool equipped with spray features, a lazy river and waterslide; a family-friendly hot tub, steam room and dry sauna; and a 300-seat spectator area. The centre’s specialty 29-metre-long wood trusses include built-in “up-lighting,” which simulates natural light, and a unique catwalk for convenient maintenance. “All parties involved in this project put forth exceptional work and vision in bringing this state-of-the-art facility to life, and this award certainly recognizes a commitment to excellence in our civic infrastructure projects,” said Mayor Linda Hepner. The $47.3-million upgrade includes a 2,600-sq.-ft. fitness centre expansion, redesigned lobby space, the addition of a two-level parkade and completion of a youth park. A jury of prominent architects from Canada and the U.S. selected category winners from 140 online submissions. Award criteria included creativity, distinctive and appropriate uses of wood materials, ability to satisfy building and site requirements, and overall aesthetic appeal for the use and application of wood.

Coast Capital Savings: Not your ordinary head office ▼ ‘HELP HEADQUARTERS’ FEATURES INNOVATIVE, EMPLOYEE-FRIENDLY DESIGN BLACK PRESS
After more than five years of planning and development, Coast Capital Savings, Canada’s largest credit union by membership, has now moved into its new headquarters in Surrey’s City Centre. The new building – dubbed “Help Headquarters – is the antithesis of a traditional corporate head office. Each of the six open-concept floors incorporate formal and informal community spaces, including several individual and smaller meeting rooms. In addition, there are “touch-down” zones where staff can access the latest technology to file-share and problem-solve, and “collision zones” where staff from different departments – who traditionally may not work together – can quickly collaborate and foster better working relationships. Every floor also takes into account employee needs by providing unique spaces – from themed cafes to recreational and quiet spaces, to meeting pods. “Coast Capital is not your typical financial institution,” said Mark Whitehead of Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership Architects, the firm that designed the building. “This building had to reflect that. It couldn’t be your standard monolithic skyscraper. It had to mirror the organization’s innovative, irreverent, fun-loving brand.” PCI Developments Corp. constructed the 185,000-sq.-ft. facility on King George Boulevard near 100 Avenue, which is the first of four phases of a planned mixed-used and transit-oriented community. Extensive research led to a marriage of office design, technology and work lifestyle features. Designed to appeal to the changing needs of today’s workers, in particular younger workers, the new office space reflects their values of transparency and community, and fosters collaboration. Help Headquarters is also located closer to where its employees live. With 70 per cent of its headquarters staff living
Treadmill desks are one example of Coast Capital’s aim to promote to employee health and wellness. SUBMITTED
south of the Fraser, Coast Capital Savings decided to locate its new head office in Surrey’s downtown centre near the King George SkyTrain Station. “We deliberately moved away from what is seen as a traditional head office, in every way. We chose a building with an unconventional design because we felt it was very important to align our new corporate home with our brand,” said Don Coulter, CEO of Coast Capital Savings. “The guiding principles for this project included a creative and accessible work environment, community connection, and environmental sustainability.” Help Headquarters will bring 700 full-time employees to the nine-storey development, which also includes retail and commercial businesses, plus an on-site daycare centre and full-service gym with yoga studio and lunchtime fitness classes. “Surrey is attracting an increasing number of head and regional offices,” noted Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner. “We are thrilled Coast Capital Savings has chosen to stay and grow in Surrey.” Still to come at the site – called “the HUB” – is 345,000 square feet of retail space and more than a million square feet of condos.

Hawks get a split with Cougars ▼ MAJOR MIDGET TEAM RETAINS FIRST-PLACE STANDING IN PROVINCIAL LEAGUE RICK KUPCHUK
For 12 hours last weekend, the Valley West Hawks had dropped to second place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML). But by Sunday afternoon, they were back atop the standings, making up for a poor performance Saturday with a 3-1 victory over the Cariboo Cougars. The Cougars, 9-4 winners Saturday over the Hawks in the first of two games played in Richmond as part of the MML’s Showcase Weekend, are tied for first with Valley West on points. But the 23-6-1 (win-loss-tied) Hawks have played two fewer games than Cariboo (22-7-3) and have now won the head-to-head season series. Cariboo got off to a fast start to the weekend, scoring three times in the first eight minutes of play and taking a 4-1 lead after one period of play. They were up 6-2 after 40 minutes. James Malm was in on all four Hawks goals, scoring twice and assisting on the other two from Michael Farren and Christian Bosa. The Hawks scored three times with the man advantage, but allowed one shorthanded goal. Malm was again the offensive leader Sunday, as the Hawks shut out Cariboo for much of the game. Ben Evanish gave Valley West a 1-0 lead after one period, with Malm drawing an assist. Malm tallied once each in the second and third periods, giving Valley West a 3-0 lead before the Cougars scored their lone goal with ju st two minutes remaining. With 10 games remaining on their regular season schedule, the Hawks will play twice against the fifth-place Fraser Valley Thunderbirds (14-10-6) next weekend. The first game is Friday night at 7 p.m. in the Langley Events Centre, with the rematch set for Saturday at 4 p.m. in the Abbotsford Recreation Centre.

To the casual hockey fan, the Top Prospects Game might seem like an all-star game, where the biggest names in the sport participate in a non-contact exhibition. In fact, it’s anything but. For the past two decades, the Canadian Hockey

The Vancouver Giants will host the 21st annual BMO CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game tomorrow (Thursday) at 6 p.m. at the Pacific Coliseum. It’s the second time the Giants have hosted the event, which features players from the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League, and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League competing before numerous NHL scouts. One member of the Giants, forward Tyler Benson, continued on page 15
Luka Burzan of the Hawks will represent Canada at the Winter Youth Olympic Games Feb. 12-21 in Lillehammer, Norway. Burzan, 15, is from Surrey and was drafted sixth overall by the Moose Jaw Warriors in the Western Hockey League’s Bantam Draft last spring. In 25 games played, he has scored 14 goals to go with a team-high 29 assists. “We’re excited for Luka. Every Canadian hockey player dreams of wearing the Maple Leaf on the international stage,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “To get his chance so early speaks to the countless hours of Luka Burzan training.” Last season Burzan played for the North Shore Winter Club’s Bantam A1 team, which won the Western Canada championship. He was also a member of Team BC at the Western Canada Challenge Cup in Calgary, winning a bronze medal. Five teams will compete at the Youth Olympics.

But the Edmonton native, who has eight goals and 26 points in 28 games played after missing much of the first two months of the season with an undisclosed injury, will now miss the game. “It’s been a bit frustrating this season. It’s my draft year, and I had to deal with the surgery,” Benson said last week. “But I hope to be 100 per cent for the game.” Benson is again on the injury list and will be replaced by teammate Ty Ronning, an 18 year-old from Burnaby who has netted 26 goals and 41 points in 45 games played. Hockey Night in Canada legend Don Cherry and National Hockey
League (NHL) Hall of Famer Bobby Orr are the guest coaches for the game. Benson will captain Team Cherry. This will be the 16th time in the past 21 years Cherry has been behind the bench at a Top Prospects game, and he recalled how quickly his impression of the game changed once he got involved. “My first thought was this would be an all-star game, like it is in the NHL,” he said. “But when I first walked into a room, I thought ‘Holy smoke, these guys are ready. This is no all-star game.’ “The kids took it seriously, because there were 200 scouts in the building.” Everyone selected will get a regular shift throughout the game, Cherry promised. “We just put them
out there. You can’t start favoring one guy over another, or someone else will get short-changed. You put the lines out there, and you give them some encouragement.” The Giants will
▶ “Holy smoke, these guys are ready. This is no all-star game. ” DON CHERRY
resume their Western Hockey League schedule immediately after the Top Prospects Game, hoping to end a slide which has seen them lose six of their past seven games. They visit the
Kamloops Blazers Friday night, before hosting the Lethbridge Hurricanes Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Pacific Coliseum. The Giants ended a four-game losing streak last Friday, defeating the Medicine Hat Tigers 4-1 at the Pacific Coliseum. Chase Lang gave the Giants a 1-0 lead after one period, netting his 17th goal of the season seven minutes into the game. The Tigers drew even with a powerplay tally in the second frame, sending the teams into the third tied 1-1. The Giants responded with three unanswered goals for the win. David Brumm notched a pair, including the winner, with Ben Thomas adding one. Surrey native Trevor
Cox, acquired by the Giants from Medicine Hat early this season, played in his 300th WHL game and had a pair of assists against his former team. Ryan Kubic was in the Giants goal, stopping 28 shots. Vancouver outshot Medicine Hat 30-29. The Giants traveled to the provincial capital for two games against the Victoria
Royals, and were swept, losing 8-0 Saturday night and 4-1 Sunday afternoon. Victoria outshot Vancouver 30-27, and led 1-0 and 4-0 at the period breaks Saturday. Jake Morrisey made his third start of the season for the Giants, making 22 saves. Sunday afternoon, Kubic was back in the Vancouver goal, but the Giants again struggled
to keep pace with the Royals. Outshot 45-28, Vancouver trailed 4-0 after one period and were down 5-0 late in the game when Brennan Menell scored his fifth of the season with 96 seconds left to play. The Giants have dropped to 18-27-5 (win-loss overtime loss) on the season, and are now eight points away from a playoff position.
