Abandoned pups get new mom Eight pups got a new lease on life thanks to a surrogate mom named Timber.
A family of 10 pups at LAPS includes eight abandoned dogs who are being mothered by Timber, a German shepherd who gave birth to two pups of her own earlier this month.
by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A litter of puppies abandoned in a Langley park is doing much better with a new adoptive mother at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter. The pups, eight in total, were rescued on Dec. 3, when a Good Samaritan found them in a cardboard box in Brookswood Park, said Becky Hemhill of the Langley Animal Protection Society. The pups were about 10 days old when they were abandoned. The staff at LAPS started taking them home every night, usually splitting the pups up into groups of four, and hand-feeding them every couple hours. “We had all taken turns taking them home,” said Hemphill. No one’s sure exactly what breed the dogs might be, said Hemphill. “At this age, their features are undetermined,” she said. “They look like Guinea pigs.” While the staff and volunteers were ready to hand feed the pups

for weeks, they got an assist from another dog that had recently come to the shelter. Timber, a German shepherd, had been hanging around in a Langley neighbourhood as a stray for a few weeks until a resident rounded her up and took her to the shelter in early November. When Timber started getting a little larger, the staff realized she was pregnant, and she was taken off to the vet. On Dec. 6, she gave birth by emergency caesarian section at the Mountain View Veterinary Hospital to just two puppies. With a small litter, Timber could take on the duties of mothering the abandoned pups as well, the vets suggested.
The surrogate mother woke up from her c-section to find she was nursing two smallish newborn pups and eight larger dogs. “She was probably a little surprised, waking up with 10 puppies,” said Hemphill. The staff had done everything they could to make sure that Timber would accept the abandoned puppies as part of her litter. “It sounds gross, but they rubbed some of the placenta on them,” said Hemphill. Timber decided that she was a mom to 10 pups. “She doesn’t make any distinction,” said Hemphill. “She’s a really good mom.” Once things were settled, the

puppies and mom were all moved into the food prep kitchen at the shelter, and a web cam was set up, allowing people to or online keep tabs on the family. The staff are keeping an eye on them to make sure the bigger pups don’t muscle out Timber’s biological offspring, and they’re also supplementing the bigger dogs with a little hand feeding so Timber doesn’t get exhausted. Since the dogs debuted on the web cam, there have already been a lot of calls with interest about adopting them. The older dogs will likely be adopted out starting in late January, and the younger German shepherds in February. Despite the help Timber is giving in raising the abandoned pups, the total cost of raising them will prove expensive. “By the time all’s said and one, this litter will probably cost us about $3,000,” Hemphill said. The Langley Animal Protection Society will welcome any donations that could help out. The web cam for the pups can be found at tinyurl.com/lcrnfa8.

Insulation fault caused fatal fire The Dec. 9 fire in Langley City that killed a 64-year-old woman was caused by electrical wiring, say fire investigators. The fire in the 20300 block of Grade Crescent destroyed a house, and was so fierce that firefighters took more than an hour to knock it down, and it was two more hours before the blaze was fully extinguished. The fire is now thought to have started in the home’s living room, where wiring insulation breakdown started the blaze. The victim of the fire was a longtime local resident.

The society will defend the decision if the Township proceeds with a planned appeal. The plans for the Coulter Berry building generated a large amount of controversy even by the standards of Fort Langley, a community where strong opinions on heritage and development are not uncommon. The local business community was split on the project, with some shop owners arguing for the project, and a number against. Local residents gathered hundreds of signatures on petitions against the project. At issue was the height and scale of a project that would command one of the major intersections in the Fort, at the corner of Mavis Avenue and Glover Road. The site formerly held Frontier Hardware and the old IGA, two- and one-storey buildings respectively. Coulter Berry was planned from the start to be three storeys, with commercial on the ground floor, offices on the second, and condos on the third. Neighbours complained it would tower over nearby buildings and the street, and that it was out of character with the early-20th century feel of Fort Langley. The heritage alteration permit was needed because the sizeable building would cover 67 per cent of the lot, up from 60 per cent permitted, and was above the two-storey limit for most of the Fort’s downtown.

been considerable debate with respect to the fact that TWU is a faith-based university. Now that the federation has approved the program, we can move on… and build an excellent law school to serve the Canadian public.” Kuhn said the university “is committed to fully and comprehensively teaching all aspects of law including human rights, ethics and professionalism.” While offering a range of law courses comparable to other Canadian law schools, the TWU School of Law will offer unique courses in two distinctive areas of specialization: charities/not-for-profit law and entrepreneurial law. A specialty in the non-profit sector will address a niche market in legal education. The law school will establish partnerships
with agencies that serve the under-assisted and the oppressed, giving each student hands-on opportunities to provide services to those who suffer injustice because they cannot access the legal system. While TWU’s approach to the education of law will be practical, it will be well grounded in the standard academic legal principles. Typically, law firms have to invest significant resources in order to transform newly minted law graduates into practicing lawyers. The School of Law at TWU will aspire to produce law graduates ready to enter the marketplace as practicing professionals. “A School of Law at TWU will help meet the growing need for practical and affordable legal services in Canada,” said Earl

The officer was able to grab the suspect’s arm once, but the suspect slipped off a T-shirt and kept going, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. In the end, the officers used teamwork to grab the suspect, with other officers positioning themselves ahead of the foot chase. Robert William Duncan, a 24-year-old of no fixed address, has been charged with theft under $5,000 and obstructing a peace officer. After his arrest, police also discovered that Duncan was wanted on two separate arrest warrants, and was under three different probation orders, two of which banned him from being in a Winners.

Police seek van driver
A driver who collided with a teenaged pedestrian should call the RCMP, police say. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Langley RCMP want to speak to the driver of a van that hit a teenager in a Walnut Grove intersection. On Dec. 14, an older model van collided with a 14-year-old girl who was walking north across 88th Avenue at 204th Street just after 11:30 p.m. The van was headed south on 204th and turning east onto 88th Avenue when it hit the teen, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. The driver, a woman in her 40s, got out of the van and spoke to the teen, checked on her well-being, and offered her a ride home, said Marks. The girl turned down the offer of a ride. The driver also urged the teen to go to the hospital. The girl walked home and was taken to hospital by her mother. She was not found to have broken bones or serious injuries. Police do still want to speak to the driver of the van, who is described as Caucasian with short blonde hair. She was driving an older model white and sparkly blue van, according to the witness. The woman is being encouraged to call the Langley RCMP at 604532-3200. Anyone else with information on the collision to help with the investigation can also call the same number.

Spirit of giving
Wreaths honour teens The memory of two Langley players has prompted a hockey grandma to raise money for search gear. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
Gail Dance can’t imagine the fear and uncertainty that plagued two Langley families earlier this year when a pair of local hockey players went canoeing on an Interior lake and never returned. Dance doesn’t want any other families to go through that sense of unknowing, and has consequently chosen to use her Christmas spirit and skill making wreaths to help. About 10 years ago, Dance began using fallen cedar boughs gathered up from around her Grade Crescent home to make wreaths and swags for her family and friends. The next year, her son began selling some out of the back of his truck in Squamish, and that gave Dance the idea of making and selling the Christmas decorations for charity.
In past, she’s sold some of the creations – incorporating not only cedar from her yard, but variegated laurel, junipers, and other trees and shrubs from her property – to help send a Langley baseball team to Uganda. That left her with such a great feeling of giving, that now, every year she does a few dozen to sell for her charity of choice. This year, that’s the Legacy Water Search & Recovery Society, she explained. As a Langleyite and as a hockey volunteer and player billet, off and on for more than 40 years, Dance said the story of Brendan Wilson’s and Austin Kingsborough’s disappearance last spring particularly moved her. “If I’d lost any of my own kids here in my hockey family… I can’t imagine,” she said. Wilson, 18, and Kingsborough, 17, went up to a family cabin on Nicola Lake on April 20. When they didn’t return as planned the next day, the family grew concerned, and soon a search began. Initial searches of the lake’s shoreline by family

and searchers uncovered signs the boys were lost on the lake. Their canoe was discovered, capsized and submerged a kilometre north of the family’s cabin. Despite efforts by the RCMP, divers, and other searchers, the boys could not be found. It wasn’t until weeks later that an underwater search specialist out of Idaho – Gene Ralston – was called in to try to assist that the boys’ bodies were located in 75 feet of water at the edge of the bay, near the Wilson family cabin. Thanks to his more sophisticated sonar equipment, Ralston was able to bring closure to the suffering families in less than 20 minutes of searching, Dance said. “At last, they had the boys. At last, they had answers,” she added. Dance said she was astonished that a society like the one from Idaho does not exist in Canada: “I can’t believe, with all our rivers, lakes, and oceans here, that we don’t have that piece of equipment.”

Real joy found in useful gifts
With Christmas quickly approaching, some folks are still casting about for lastminute gift ideas. Hasty decisions can sometimes result in some unsatisfying choices. Gift cards are an obvious choice – sort of like the old aunt who slips a few bills into a Christmas card for the nieces and nephews. The money may not be personal, but the kids are often genuinely appreciative – better than pink bunny pyjamas for a 14-yearold boy, a la A Christmas Story. Also consider giving gifts on behalf of (instead of to) your regular list recipients. Some folks can be deeply appreciative when you think to make a meaningful gift to charity in their name. Especially at this time of year, food banks and Christmas hamper organizations are taxed to the limit, and can use all the help they can get – help that their recipients, in turn, sorely need. While the current season inspires you to be in a giving mood, remember that many of the people who truly need a helping hand right now will continue to require some assistance throughout the year. And unfortunately, those who manage to get ahead will almost certainly be replaced in food line-ups by others who will fall behind. And there are always more millions overseas, served by a host of charitable agencies, who need assistance from immediate or ongoing disasters. While we’re at it, here is a don’t for your Christmas list, as well. Don’t give a pet for Christmas, unless you are certain that the recipient really wants and can take proper care of a cat or dog or goldfish or whatever. You’ll prevent a lot of suffering for an animal thrust into an unprepared environment, and the folks at Langley Animal Protection Society will thank you a few months down the road when families at their wits’ end aren’t forced to abandon your “gift.” Giving gifts at Christmas is about making the season joyful for everyone – and that will make you feel good, too. – B.G.

Apprecitation
Business made ice work for charity
Dear Editor, I just wanted to say how grateful I am to live in a community where we can count on local companies to step up and help those in need. On a recent weekend, Jas Singh from God’s Little Acre Farm in Cloverdale, a farm that grows produce to feed the local food banks and soup kitchens as well
as fundraisers for local schools, had the brilliant idea to flood his fields (with the help of the Surrey Fire Department) to make an outdoor skating rink. He then invited everyone to come down and enjoy a truly Canadian experience rarely found in the Lower Mainland. Jas did it as a fundraiser, to help cover the costs of next year’s seeds.
Canada Post
Cuts amount to house arrest
Dear Editor, The federal government has announced that it is phasing out door-to-door letter delivery service. My mother and father, aged 90 and 91, would have to walk to a letter box once this plan comes to fruition. Meanwhile, seniors and disabled people are being held under “house arrest” by cuts to HandyDart service hours. It seems that both the provincial and federal governments are more concerned about buying helicopters, corporate tax breaks, and P3 mega-projects than they are about providing support for those who built this country. Mark Beeching, Langley
The only problem was skates – not everyone has skates. Thankfully, the amazing staff at Sports Replay in Langley stepped up, and within hours of getting the phone call, they were at the farm with skates for all who needed them. And what about lighting? Can’t skate in the pitch black. Not to worry, the generous staff at United Rentals came out and set up some industrial lighting, allowing for the community to enjoy skating under the stars. We should count ourselves lucky when local companies will help those in need with just a moment’s notice – the catalyst of good in our society.

Christmas
Santa Claus
St. Nick’s legend began in Turkey
Santa and his Missus will be at the library
The origins of the man we know as Santa Claus dates back more than 1,600 years.
Two very special guests will be arriving at the Muriel Arnason Library on Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 18.
Dr Sarwan Singh Randhawa
Special to the Langley Advance
Exactly one week before the special day arrives, Santa Claus is coming to the library. On Wednesday, Dec. 18, the Jolly Old Elf and Mrs. Claus will be reading ’Twas The Night Before Christmas and singing Christmas songs at the Muriel Arnason Library. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at the library in the Township Civic Facility from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Parents are invited to bring a camera and get a photo of their child or children with Santa. There will also be a chance to enter a children’s Christmas book draw. The program is free, and open to the public, on a drop-in basis. Muriel Arnason Library is located at 130-20338 65th Ave., and the phone number is 604-532-3590.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will be reading ’Twas The Night Before Christmas and singing Christmas songs at the Muriel Arnason Library on Dec. 18.
The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 AD to a wealthy family in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. His parents died, and he inherited a considerable sum of money, but he kept none of it. He gave away all of his wealth and travelled the countryside helping the poor and sick. At a very young age, Nicholas was chosen a bishop by the people of Myra. But life was not always good for him. He along with many others was thrown into prison for not worshipping himself as a god as declared by the Roman emperor Diocletian. He was released in 313 AD when Diocletian resigned and Constantine came to power. He then returned to his post as Bishop of Myra continuing his good works until his death on Dec. 6, 343. After Nicholas died, he was canonized as a saint. Much admired for his piety and kindness, he became the subject of many legends. Over the course of many years, Nicholas’s popularity spread, and he became known as the protector of children and sailors. continued on page A13…

By the Renaissance, St. Nicholas was the most popular saint in Europe …continued from page A12.
His feast day is celebrated on the anniversary of his death, Dec. 6, a holiday in many countries. This was traditionally considered a lucky day to make large purchases or to get married. Many stories are told of his generosity as he gave his wealth away in the form of gifts to those in need, especially children. Legends tell of him either dropping bags of gold down chimneys or throwing the bags through the windows. One of the best known of the St. Nicholas stories is that he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prosti-
tution by their father by providing them with a dowry so that they could be married. By the Renaissance, St. Nicholas was the most popular saint in Europe. Even after the Protestant Reformation, when the veneration of saints began to be discouraged, St. Nicholas maintained a positive reputation, especially in Holland. During the Protestant Reformation, German Protestants depicted the Christ child “Chriskindl” as a giver of gifts. This helped merge the association of St. Nick with Christmas. Later, this association with Chriskindl was translated to Santa’s other name: Kris Kringle.

In England he came to be called Father Christmas, and in the Netherlands, the saint’s name, Sinter Nikolass, became shortened to Sinter Klaas. The American version of the Santa Claus figure received its inspiration and its name from the Dutch legend of Sinter Klaas, brought by settlers to New York in the 17th century, and the name evolved into what it is today – Santa Claus. As early as 1773 the name appeared in the American press as “St. A Claus”. A popular author, Washington Irving, gave Americans detailed information about the Dutch version of Saint Nicholas in his book, History of New York, pub-
lished in 1809 under the pseudonym Diedrich Knickerbocker. This Dutch-American Saint Nick achieved his fully Americanized form in 1823, in the poem, A Visit From Saint Nicholas, more commonly known as ’The Night Before Christmas, by Clement Clarke. It was further elaborated by illustrator Thomas Nast, who depicted a rotund Santa for Christmas issues of Harper’s magazine from the 1860s to the 1880s. Finally, from 1931 to 1964, Haddon Sundblom created a new Santa each Christmas for Coca-Cola advertisements that appeared world-wide on the back covers of Post and National Geographic magazines.

the Santa we know and love today with a red suit trimmed with white fur, leather boots and belt, long white beard and a pack of toys slung onto his back. In these days, Santa Claus is a symbol of hope, faith, and trust. People believe that he is a jolly, happy and really fat (in good sense) guy, who visits on Christmas Eve, entering houses through the chimney to leave presents under the Christmas tree and in the stockings of all good children. In addition, children are taught that Santa rewards the good children and leaves the bad ones emptyhanded.

Players help Food Bank The LFC U16 Cyclones collected more than 600 items for the Langley Food Bank. by Troy Landreville

They asked, and they received. The response to the Langley Football Club’s annual food bank challenge exceeded its executive members’ expectations. LFC issues a challenge to all of its members to collect food for the Langley Food Bank every December. This year, LFC offered a gift of team hoodies to the team that collected the most items. The U16 Cyclones are this year’s recipients after collecting more than 600 items as a team. The Cyclones’ players expressed their appreciation to the Buy Low Foods locations in Walnut Grove and Brookswood, which supported their efforts with case lots. Many of the LFC teams collected at their Christmas parties and some went door-to-door, asking for

s a man, I am sometimes mistakenly slotted into the stereotype of a last-minute shopper. Nothing could be further than the truth. Hurriedly pushing my way through the crowds at the mall is not how I want to spend Christmas Eve. Therefore, to help you avoid this ordeal, I am offering you some stocking stuffer ideas for the hobby chef on your list. Zester – This is a hand tool that removes the aromatic coloured segment of the peel from citrus fruits while leaving the white bitter pith part on the fruit. Great for adding extra citrus flavour to almost any recipe, or to enhance garnishing presentation. Mini whisk – Approximately the size of a ballpoint pen, it comes in handy for small whisking applications like mixing individual drinks, beating one egg, or small amounts of sauce. I have even seen ones that are attached to a key chain hoop. Melon baller – Great for its intended purpose of creating bite-size balls of melon, it also works just as well on cheeses and an assortment of fruits and vegetables. Caramelized balls of potato, for example, makes for an appealing side dish. Olive pitter – This tool resembles a pair of spring-loaded pliers. It has a circular base to hold an olive on one of the ends, and a prod on the other. When squeezed together, the prod inserts into the olive and pushes the pit through the opposite side. It works great on cherries, too. Garlic press – I have gone through many poorly made garlic presses in the past, but there is one brand that has

never let me down. I recommend the Switzerland-made “Zyliss” brand. I have crushed hundreds of cloves with this brand for the past five years, without fail. Apple corer – Simply push this tubular tool through the centre of an apple or pear, and proceed with slicing… or eating. Butcher’s twine - Not only great for trussing stuffed turkeys, it is also useful for chickens and a variety of stuffed roasts, meats, and seafood. Silicone spatula–- Silicone kitchen tools like spatulas and bowl-scrapers are great because they can withstand high heat and are very flexible. They’re fantastic for omelets, where ones made of rubber or plastic would melt in the hot pan. Dough scraper – A flat-edged tool that easily scrapes dough or flour together on the counter. They are available in metal or plastic. Great for anyone who likes to bake. Lemon reamer – A wooden, hand-held tool to efficiently juice lemons or limes. I hope this helps relieve some of your shopping burdens. The kitchen sections of department stores and smaller specialty stores are filled with many great gift ideas – and who knows, you may even run into me!

Backyard rink brings traditional fun to Wet Coast A Brookswood man used to build a backyard rink for his kids and this year was able to build it for his grandkids.
“It’s a labour of love. I feel like I’m 35 again.” Dave Mihalech
by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Dave Mihalech grew up on the West Coast, skating on the rare occasions when Mother Nature cooperated and formed ice in farmers’ fields and at Fry’s Corner at 176th Street. It wasn’t until he lived for a couple of years in Winnipeg as a newlywed that he came to an appreciation of the backyard rink and the outdoor rink. “That’s where I got the idea of outdoor ice,” he said. Another factor was the lack of arena ice in Langley. There was one rink when his family was young and playing sports. “We went to Bellingham over a whole winter every Sunday,” the longtime Brookswood resident said. That’s where there was ice time for the hockey team. Mihalech said local players would have to travel throughout the Lower Mainland and as far as Chilliwack to get ice time. Canadians in colder parts of the country can take for granted being able to head to a free outdoor rink, weather it’s on local lakes, a neighbour’s backyard or

Brady Thompson, four, is on a hockey team and got to practice being goalie with his brother Lucas, eight, and their friend Brett Bateman, also eight. Brady and Lucas’ grandfather, Dave Mihalech built the rink. in their neighbourhood park. When the Wet Coast weather cooperated, the family would have a rink. Mihalech said that was most years from about 1985 through the early 1990s. The years between then and 2013 were too warm. “I know, I tracked every win-
ter,” he said. So the boards he’s used to rim the rink remained tucked away and his kids grew up, becoming parents of their own. Mihalech had hoped to be able to rebuild the rink for his grandkids. When a cold front settled into the Lower Mainland this month, he decided to put up the rink. It
started with putting down water for a base early in the week, adding floods in between and by late last week, it was ready for skaters. “It’s a labour of love,” Mihalech said. “I feel like I’m 35 again.” The rink would end up being five inches of solid ice and
because the backyard is shaded, there can be ice chunks still slowly melting come spring. A neighbour came over and took photos, since the family puts the Christmas decorations in the backyard and Mihalech’s daughter posted something on Facebook. The posting elicited lots of reaction from people who reminisced about growing up in colder climes where there are winter outdoor rinks and kids played shinny for hours on end. The backyard rink in Brookswood has played host to hundreds of hours of kids playing, Mihalech’s son and daughter, and their friends. Even one neighbour girl who didn’t skate but would wait until the ice was melting and sail toy boats on the water. Some of the kids who’ve skated there over the years have even gone on to hockey prominence, including David Morrisset who made Team Canada and Ryan Craig of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Little wonder then why in recent years the NHL Heritage Classic and the Winter Classic outdoor hockey games has become part of Canadian hockey culture.

Christmas at Williams Park is over for another year with the decorations coming down and being stowed away until 2014.

Powell River took three consecutive minor penalties and the Rivermen made the Kings pay with powerplay goals 2:12 apart from McLain and defenceman Zach Urban. Jacob Reichert made it 3-1 Rivermen with an even strength marker at the 11:49 mark. Langley moved ahead 4-1 on Kevan Kilistoff’s powerplay goal (Langley’s third of the period with the man advantage) to finish off the period’s scoring with 3:48 to play in the middle stanza. At the 11:42 mark of the third period, Lukosevicius narrowed his team’s deficit to two goals with his second of the night. But the comeback wasn’t going to happen on this night.
With 2:09 to play in regulation time, McLain shot the puck into the empty Powell River net, after the Kings pulled goaltender Jeff Smith in favour of an extra attacker. Rivermen netminder Brock Crossthwaite made 30 saves to earn the victory, his 14th of the season. Crossthwaite, who has won three of his last four starts, is having a stellar season. The 19-year-old native of Kanata, Ont, has a 14-5 record, 2.41 goals against average, two shutouts, and a .915 save percentage.

Stunner from Stealth camp: Iannucci axed
Athan Iannucci, the National Lacrosse League record holder for goals in a single season, won’t be wearing a Vancouver Stealth uniform in January after getting cut from the team. by Steve Ewen
Special to the Langley Advance
In their first season based out of the Langley Events Centre, the Vancouver Stealth will have a homegrown goal scorer, but it won’t be Athan Iannucci. Iannucci, 31, the National Lacrosse League’s singleseason goal-scoring record holder, was one of the last cuts by the Stealth on Sunday as they got down to their 20-man active roster. The deadline for the league’s nine teams to have their players in place for opening day was Monday morning.
Iannucci, a right-hander known for his eye-popping stick skills, stars in the summers with the Langley Thunder, the Western Lacrosse Association team that plays out of the LEC. He also was an assistant coach with the Thunder juniors, and one of his players there was lefty point producer Sean Lundstrom, 21. Lundstrom, who had 29 goals and 67 points in 19 regular season games with the Thunder Juniors, was one of three rookies to make the Stealth. Iannucci set the NLL standard for goals in a

campaign in 2008, when he tallied 71 times for the Philadelphia Wings. He battled knee problems the next couple of years, including missing the entire 2010 campaign. He produced 47 points, including 22 goals, in 14 games last year with the Washington Stealth, who played out of Everett, Wash. The Stealth moved to the LEC in the off-season. The NLL, in the collective bargaining agreement signed in the off-season, brought in a $400,000 salary cap, as well as cutting its rosters from 23 to 20 players. Thunder general manager Doug Locker said that the Iannucci decision was not cash related. Team brass felt they had better options. In a Dec. 7 interview during the Stealth training camp at the LEC, Iannucci said he was in good shape heading into the season, and planned to play his game and “put up numbers of the ‘Nooch’ of old.” Besides Iannucci, other notable cuts include lefthander Dean Hill, 29. Vancouver had 41 players listed on their training camp roster. The Stealth open up league play on Jan. 4, with a visit to the Colorado Mammoth. They’re home to the Minnesota Swarm on Jan. 11.

Vancouver wouldn’t announce their players, other than to say it wouldn’t include Iannucci or Hill. Righty Brett Bucktooth, 30, and lefty Mitch McMichael, 25, will start the season on the injured list. Vancouver’s offensive righties will feature Rhys Duch, 27, their leading scorer from a season ago, along with former practice roster member Brett Hickey, 23, free-agent pickup Alex Gajic, 26, and
rookie Tyler Digby, 22. With the lefties, there are incumbents Lewis Ratcliff, 32, and Cliff Smith, 28, who finished second and fourth in team scoring, respectively, a season ago. They will be joined by rookies Lundstrom and Cody Bremner, 23. Defensively, Vancouver has incumbents: Mike Grimes, 27; Kyle Sorensen, 27; Curtis Hodgson, 32; Matt Beers, 24; Tyler Garrison, 21; Chris O’Dougherty, 27; Jeff Moleski, 31; Justin Salt, 23; and Bill Hostrawser, 22. The lone newcomer is Ilija Gajic, 28, Alex’s broth-
er who was picked up in a trade with the Mammoth for faceoff specialist Bob Snider. Gajic is equally adept at offence, and, with the new CBA cutting game-day rosters from 18 runners to 16, getting more versatility into the lineup was a mandate for Locker and coach Chris Hall. Smith, Digby and Alex Gajic could also find themselves playing both ends of the floor. In goal, Tyler Richards, 27, will be the starter, and Matt Roik, 34, will back him up.

Crossthwaite stymies Eagles in third …continued from page A23 After a scoreless first period, Langley’s Matt Ustaski opened the scoring on a powerplay 7:41 into the second frame. That was followed by a shorthanded goal off the stick of McLain at the 12:08 mark and an even-strength marker from Torrel, who scored 1:11 after McLain to give the Rivermen a 3-0 lead. The Eagles’ Nicolas Pierog cashed in on a penalty shot opportunity with 5:02 to go in the second period. Ustaski stole momentum back for his team when he tallied a shorthanded goal with 2:13 remaining in a wild middle period. The shorthanded goals from McLain and Ustaski gives them three “shorties” each, which ties them for the team lead in that category. The third period was scoreless until Surrey’s Brett Mulcahy brought his team to within a pair of goals, scoring on a powerplay at the 14:20 mark of the frame. The Eagles pulled goal-
game suspension but the Rivermen will likely appeal that, as they believe he never made contact with the head of Surrey’s Braedan Russell, but rather caught him shoulder on shoulder. Reichert did however catch Russell’s knee as the Surrey forward immediately left for the dressing room and did not return. Crossthwaite was stellar during the third period, stopping 12 of 13 Eagles’ shots. He was named third star of the game. The Eagles outshot the Rivermen 13-4 in the final 20 minutes of play, and 2826 overall.

The Rivermen made them pay as Austin Azurdia deposited the puck into the empty net to end any hopes of a miracle comeback.
Azurdia’s goal also came shorthanded, after Reichert was hit with a five-minute major and game misconduct for a blow to the head. Reichert’s penalty came with 6:22 remaining in regulation. Reichert’s penalty carries an automatic two-
