Search

Langley scoured for missing man The ground search has wrapped up without finding a young Walnut Grove man. hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

A young Walnut Grove man has not been seen since Feb. 24, and a ground search was conducted in the Derby Reach area Sunday.

Late on March 1, the Langley RCMP issued a missing person’s report on Nicholas Hannon, 19.

The search started early March 2.

He was last seen last Monday by his father.

“Police received the report of his absence in the evening of Feb. 27 when Nicholas’s vehicle was located abandoned at a dead end of McKinnon Crescent,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

The car is believed to have been there since at least 7:30 that morning. Nicholas had spoken to his father on Feb. 25.

He is described as Caucasian, 5’9”, slim build, with very short dark brown hair.

A search started at first light Sunday in the area around where Hannon’s vehicle was found on the dead-end road.

Searchers are asking homeowners for permission to search their properties, and to see if the residents can offer any assistance or keep watch for anything out of the ordinary.

Authorities waited until daylight “because we are in this area, there’s a lot of potential hazards,” said Langley RCMP Sgt. Tom James.

Snow covered the area, and it is also quite boggy.

There were more than 30 people taking part from Central Valley Search and Rescue Society, the RCMP, and auxiliary RCMP.

Nicholas Hannon was the subject of a ground search in the Derby Reach area.

He last spoke to family Feb. 25.

SAR, a non-profit organization of volunteers, has almost two dozen people taking part. As well, about six people from Metro Vancouver Parks helped.

Despite the weather and it being the day of the Heritage Classic and the Oscars, Derby Reach Regional Park was still

attracting many users.

The search command centre was set up in the park.

If people have information

about Hannon that may help locate him, they are asked to contact the RCMP detachment at 604-532-3200.

A late-winter storm with snow, freezing rain, and heavy rainfall blew through the Lower Mainland on the weekend, again leaving Langley drivers in the ditches or homes dark.

Environment Canada had issued a snowfall warning for Sunday, with between 10 and 25 centimeters of snow expected.

However, the weather changed to rain relatively early in the day for much of the Lower Mainland.

Parts of Langley, especially Aldergrove, saw freezing rain during the late afternoon and evening.

Several thousand residents in Aldergrove and Abbotsford were in the dark during parts of Sunday and into Monday mor-

ning.

BC Hydro reported that trees were down on wires causing several of the outages.

Students in Aldergrove had a partial disruption to their school day, as Aldergrove Secondary, Betty Gilbert Middle, and Shortreed Elementary all started the day without power.

School was briefly declared cancelled, but the Langley School District announced they would open again after the first block or recess.

Despite the snow and rain, there were relatively few serious traffic accidents over the weekend. In Langley City, fire chief Rory Thompson reported only one crash, of a car into a traffic pole. However, it wasn’t clear if the crash was weather-related.

In Langley Township, firefighters responded to two calls of power lines down, and seven rescue situations for crashed cars. However, there were no critical injuries, said assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson.

What you need to know about the Trans Mountain Expansion Project After nearly two years of conversations, studies and planning, Trans Mountain filed a Facilities Application with the National Energy Board (NEB) in December 2013 for its proposed $5.4 billion expansion project.

Respectful and authentic dialogue begins with transparency and a common understanding of the facts. As we move forward in the regulatory process, we are committed to making sure that people have access to the facts about our proposal and the process. The following is aimed at correcting misinformation being spread by individuals and groups in your community.

CLAIM

CLAIM

Land will be expropriated; people will lose their homes.

The route for the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project has already been determined.

REALITY Trans Mountain does not have the right to expropriate land. We have established and maintained relationships for the last 60 years with 2,200 landowners, as well as with neighbours and communities along the pipeline corridor.

Our goal is to treat all landowners fairly and equitably. In the unlikely event that we cannot reach an agreement with a landowner, the NEB can grant right of entry to allow us to build and maintain the pipeline, but not to expropriate or take away any land or homes from owners.

CLAIM The opportunity for public input into the project is limited.

REALITY In our Facilities Application, we’ve identified a proposed pipeline corridor, and in some cases an alternative. These corridors are wider than what the permanent right-of-way will be. They provide the flexibility to respond to stakeholder input or to place the pipe so as to minimize local community or environmental impacts. A final right-of-way will be determined only after regulatory approval and during the detailed design phase. It is important to note that 73 per cent of the proposed expanded pipeline will follow the existing right-of-way where the Trans Mountain pipeline has been operating safely for 60 years. An additional 17 per cent of the proposed expansion will follow existing utility corridors and only the remaining 10 per cent would require greenfield right-of-way.

REALITY To date, we’ve engaged with thousands of individuals through 63 open houses and workshops along the pipeline and marine corridors and hundreds of meetings between project team members and stakeholder groups. Our work continues, with opportunities for continued dialogue throughout the process.

The NEB will hold a public hearing on the Application before it makes a decision, allowing people or groups who have been granted permission to participate by the NEB a chance to raise issues, present evidence, test evidence and provide their input.

We want to ensure that no voice goes unheard and no concern goes unaddressed. If you hear more claims that you’d like us to address, please send them to us. Please visit our website or contact us if you have questions or would like to learn more about the proposed project.

CLAIM Property values near the pipeline have already declined and will continue to drop.

REALITY Along our existing pipeline route, which has been in place for 60 years, there is no measurable difference between properties with or without an easement. However, we appreciate that land devaluation is a concern. Looking ahead to the new pipeline, companies are required by the NEB act to compensate landowners for any new easement and pay for any impacts or inconvenience associated with the new pipeline. Included within the determination of compensation is any change in the value of the property before and after the pipeline is built.

For more information about the regulatory process and how to get involved, go to the NEB website at www.neb-one.gc.ca > Major Applications and Projects > Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC - Trans Mountain Expansion.

An auxiliary constable graduation ceremony March 1 at Langley Secondary School included a drill display and badge presentation.

They have peace officer status when on duty and are under direct supervision of a member of the RCMP. To become auxiliary constables, they had to complete roughly 90 hours of classroom training program and 70 hours of training outside a classroom environment over a four-to-six month period.

“You are part of a solution,” Inspector Murray Power told the 15 new auxiliary constables.

“You have a significant level of courage; courage to join us in uniform to ensure that the rest of the community can live in a safe and comfortable environment.”

Power told the auxiliary constables that when they are on duty, they represent the RCMP,

become paid RCMP officers, Power said, “This will turn out to be a great break from the real world. You get to be on the inside of the yellow tape, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what’s going on in your community, and you’ll get to experience lots of interesting issues.”

PAC offers investigation update The PAC has made its financial records transparent.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The Glenwood PAC says there have been no new problems, and it has made its finances transparent as the Langley RCMP look into the last five years of financial records.

The PAC met Thursday, Feb. 27 and about a dozen parents received updates from their treasurer and the head of an internal audit committee.

Beatrice Singer, who is also a member of the District PAC, went over many of the facts which have been reported in the Langley Advance recently.

The incoming PAC executive wanted financial information at the start of

the year.

It became clear over a few weeks that the information was missing.

On Nov. 22, the PAC voted to create an internal audit committee With two other PAC members, Singer went over gaming and general revenue accounts. She said that there were enough anomalies that the PAC approached the RCMP. “There is a police investigation,” said Singer.

The Canada Revenue Agency and the B.C. Gaming Policy are also looking into the financial situation.

An entire box of records is missing, covering five years of the PAC’s financial transactions, from 2009 to the end of the 2012/2013 school year, said Singer. Records from before that time were all found intact, and there have been no problems

with this year’s finances, Singer said.

She could not say anything about actual finances of the past five years. The PAC has already asked for any members who know where the missing records are to please let them know.

There was little discussion of the previous PAC executive or members who had oversight over the finances.

“Certain people left, certain people have been removed, call it what you will,” said Singer.

PAC executive member at large Dennice Debruyn heard about the investigation for the first time last week.

She is a new member of the executive, and recalls the requests for financial data early in the school year.

“There wasn’t any financial reports,” she said. “I

thought that was a little odd.”

Treasurer Sarah Vanderkerkhove said the PAC has gone from having no electronic records to online banking this year.

They have also set up a system that will allow any PAC member to view the PAC’s bank records online at any time.

Vanderkerkhove is worried about negative perceptions the investigation may cause for the PAC. As far as this year’s finances, they are in good shape, she told the PAC Thursday.

The PAC is on track to pay for its usual expenses, including hot lunches and hot dog days, and has budgeted $1,400 for teachers to purchase additional educational materials.

They are also looking into creating a “wish list” for teachers for more items.

The Langley Relay for Life won’t take place until late June, but the preparation and recruitment for the annual anti-cancer walk starts this week.

Prospective and returning teams and individual fundraisers can come to the Relay for Life Kick-off this Thursday, March 6,

to 6-8 p.m. at the Langely Events CEntre’s banquet room.

The event is for both returning relayers and those who have never taken part before, said Jenn Schroeder, a community giving coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“We want to invite the whole community to see what we’re about,” said Schroeder.

Relay for Life is a 12hour event on June 20 that sees teams raise money and walk laps at McLeod Athletic Park, to raise money for cancer research and patient support.

Picture starts touching exchange Tourism Langley’s new social media campaign reaches to Denmark.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

It’s easy to verbally claim a marketing campaign is successful.

It’s easier to back it up when you can show that at least 35 per cent of the people following Tourism Langley’s Facebook page are engaging with comments, shares, and posts.

But it speaks volumes when it can be shared how one of the photographs from the relatively new #LangleyFresh social media campaign reached one woman half way around the globe.

Late last month, during the first weekend snowfall, someone shared a picture – through #LangleyFresh – of the old school house in Campbell Valley Park surrounded by snow. Tourism Langley staff posted it to Facebook, and watched a touching story of community spirit and compassion unfold.

Shelli Wardell Rasmussen commented on the picture.

George Tsai went out Feb. 24 and took a picture of the Fort Langley Cemetery covered with snow, so a woman in Denmark could see it.

“Absolutely beautiful!!!” she said. “I live in Denmark and my parents are buried in the Fort Langley cemetery. Would be really cool to see some photos from there right now. Should be so pretty.”

Tourism Langley staff thanked Rasmussen for connecting with them, but it was the reaction of the community that moved Tourism Langley’s executive director Deborah Kulchiski to tears.

“It literally brought tears to my eyes,” she said, explaining how several people began posting pictures of Fort Langley, including several overview shots of the Glover Road cemetery.

One woman even offered

to head down to the cemetery – once the snow had cleared – and takes pictures of her parents headstones.

“WOW!!!! You guys are amazing. Thanks so much,” she replied.

This is just one example of the photos and stories that are being exchanged through the #LangleyFresh campaign.

Kulchiski said, it’s because of exchanges like this that she and her team will be able to hail #LangleyFresh as a success during the Tourism Langley annual general meeting later this week.

The concept for the campaign came out of last year’s AGM, when Kulchiski reported excess

funds that she wanted to see directed into marketing, and ways of “increasing awareness for Langley.”

“People know about Langley. They know where we are, they know generally were we’re located and some of the products we have to offer,” Kulchiski said.

But people weren’t talking about Langley enough, hence the birth of #LangleyFresh.

The campaign started last October, and is aimed at engaging residents and visitors to share how they see Langley through items on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media. A lot of the participants have been sharing landscape photos, but more and more people are engaging and sharing other aspects of life in Langley.

“We want to give people a reason to look at Langley and to place Langley at top of mind,” when planning vacations, daytrips, or backyard outings.

“This campaign has exceeded our expectations,” Kulchiski said.

“And it’s been really exciting to see Langley through other people’s eyes.”

Event singles out deserving Women’s Day event is a chance to honour three local women.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Rotary Club of Langley Central is inviting the public to spend International Women’s Day honouring women they consider unsung heroes.

The Rotary Women’s Day luncheon is Saturday and three local women will receive recognition.

“They are chosen through people who feel that they deserve to be recognized for their work in the community,” said

Linda Mross, organizing committee chair.

The luncheon is a chance to hear from guest speaker, Lauryn Oates, an advocate for women’s rights in Afghanistan.

“The speaker was chosen through a person that had heard her speak and thought she would fit to International Women’s Day, after reading her bio, we all agreed,” Mross said.

In 1996, a then 14-yearold Oates read about the Taliban and its doctrines against such things as educating girls and women.

She started a petition calling on the world to challenge the misogynist Taliban beliefs and has continued to work ever since.

There’s room for 300 people at the luncheon which takes place at Newlands Golf and Country Club, 20125 48th Ave., from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Tickets, at $35 apiece, can be purchased at internationalwomensday.ca or from Susan Parsons, therightagent@shaw.ca or 604-323-4460. This is a fundraiser for Rotary World Help Network (rotaryworldhelp.com).

“This organizations collects discarded materials such as hospital and medical equipment, computers, and educational supplies and then ships them in containers to Third World countries that need them,” said Rotarian John Peters.

New 232nd Street Overpass to Open to Traffic Beginning in early March, drivers will be able to use the new 232nd Street Overpass in Langley. Drivers are advised to follow directional signs to guide them through the new traffic pattern change.

The new overpass replaces the current street-level crossing at the Canadian Pacific Rail tracks, eliminating rail-related delays for the travelling public, and improving rail efficiency and safety for everyone.

Construction work will continue until the end of April 2014. Drivers should continue to be mindful of construction crews working in the area and obey posted signs.

About the Project The 232nd Overpass Project is part of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Program, a comprehensive package of road and rail improvements to enhance quality of life in communities through which rail traffic travels to and from Port Metro Vancouver terminals. The project is funded by 12 partners representing local, regional, provincial and federal governments, and private industry.

Opinion

Ryan McAdams PUBLISHER rmcadams@langleyadvance.com

Some wars are still invisible

The work by diplomats and world leaders to head off open war between Ukraine and Russia is admirable. But the relentless media focus on Ukraine highlights one of the ways in which the major media do not always give us a complete picture of the world.

Dozens of people have been killed in Ukraine during the revolution and fighting between protestors and riot police in the main square of Kyiv.

Compare that to the 5.4 million victims claimed over a decade by the Second Congo War between 1998 and 2008.

Western media devoted a tiny fraction of TV coverage or newspaper space to the conflict, one which caused more deaths than any conflict since the Second World War. We’re used to thinking of wars in Africa, Central America, or Southeast Asia as being unimportant, unless a European or North American power is involved.

This is a dangerous way to see the world.

The complexities of the Russian and Ukrainian political situation are many – the shared history of both regions involves multiple revolutions, invasions, ethnic cleansings, and one of the largest famines of the 20th century. Yet many of these issues will be teased out by the media over the next few days and weeks. Both the media and the general public are perfectly capable of absorbing information.

However, we will not see many stories about the continuing conflicts in countries affected by the Congo Wars or the aftermath of the Rwandan Genocide, or of the attacks of the Lord’s Resistance Army from Uganda.

The current major war in Africa, which has actually received more coverage than normal in Canadian media, is that in the Central African Republic. Like the situation in Ukraine, it is complicated, involving religious and regional tensions. It is already leading to the displacement of thousands of people.

As Canada offers aid to Ukraine, we should think of other nations where Canada’s soft powers of diplomacy, peacekeeping, and development can also help.

Coulter Berry

Fort forced to decide too quickly

Dear Editor, If council’s intention is to invite “public consultation,” wouldn’t it allow for more time to adequately discuss the implications of the Coulter Berry project on Fort Langley?

The Township has passed first and second readings of bylaws which will render heritage guidelines controlling height and density nonbinding.

Petrina Arnason, Langley

Possibilities failed

Dear Editor, The rumours were out there: a new proposal for Coulter Berry? I was thinking we might see one of three possibilities: turn the third floor into a rooftop garden/patio; a deeper underground parking lot; or a height restriction of one storey on another property

of equal size. Coulter Berry 2.0 is a visual redesign, however height and density are still very much an issue.

Andy Schildhorn, Fort Langley

Education

True cost of cuts calculated

Dear Editor, Thanks to Langley superintendent of schools Suzanne Hoffman and district staff, we now know how much has been taken out of our school district at the expense of our children [Extra teachers would be $23.5 million, Feb. 27, Langley Advance]. Schools have been closed, classrooms overcrowded, and resources minimal because of it.

Our children go to schools that have 228 fewer full time teachers than they should have, with 32.6 fewer librarians.

Over the past 12 years, children in our community have been shortchanged.

Laws just opinions

Dear Editor, Parliament, B.C.’s legislature, and the Township all make laws – opinions about how we might get along.

The courts have their own opinions about what the laws mean, and if you read the opinions carefully, you will find that sometimes you will agree with them – and sometimes you will not.

There are people demanding that “the law” be used to stop Coulter Berry. Will these people continue to be staunch defenders of “the law” if the Court of Appeals disagrees with the Supreme Court decision?

Aviation

Free air time encourages females to take flight

Women in Aviation Worldwide Week is marked locally with a two-day event.

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Ninety-Nines, an international group for women pilots, organized an event at the Langley Regional Airport in 2013. This year’s celebration, with new organizers, will be bigger.

Langley Advance files

The skies above the Langley Regional Airport are going to be buzzing with aircraft.

Local flyers have volunteered for free flights for the event The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too. There are 1,500 seats available on the free flights March 8 and 9, part of the event to encourage women and girls to consider aviation for careers and recreation.

Kirsten Brazier, a longtime commercial and bush pilot who hosted this event in the Yukon last year for 2,300 participants, said seats are assigned to girls and women with priority going to those who have not flown in small aircraft (commercial aircraft flight is not factored in).

And the organizers assign spots either in helicopters or in fixed-wing Navions piloted by members of the Fraser Blues Formation Demonstration Team.

The event is open to the public, and flights are open to girls and women from all over B.C. Now that Brazier lives in Langley Township, she’s hoping to make this event the largest women’s aviation celebration in Canada.

It marks Women of Aviation Worldwide Week and runs 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Advance registration is required for the flights.

Register at www.girlsfly2.ca.

Admission is free and there’s displays, contests and other activities as well.

“Studies show that one of the major barriers to more women

getting involved in aviation and aerospace is the perception that these industries are reserved for men, so they don’t even consider it,” Brazier said. “We want to change that. We want girls and women to seriously think about careers as pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics, or aeronautical engineers.”

as the anniversary of the first licensed female pilot worldwide, on March 8, 1910.

“This is an exciting opportunity to attract an underutilized sector to a field that has many in-demand jobs,” said Langley Regional Airport manager Guy Miller. “Our airport, for example, is home to 54 businesses and employs over 260 people. There are many opportunities here and in airports around the world, and we look forward to showing local women and girls all that is available to them.”

• During the past few decades, while the percentage of female doctors, lawyers, and busi“We want girls and ness executives skyrocketed, women to seriously the percentthink about careers age of women as pilots, air traffic involved in controllers, mechanics, the sectors of the aviation or aeronautical and aerospace engineers.” industries remains low Kirsten Brazier and mostly unchanged.

Langley’s history, as recorded in the files of the Langley Advance.

Eighty Years Ago

Forty Years Ago

• A packed house for a benefit in the old Athletic Hall raised $106 for the Langley Welfare Fund.

• Alderman Armstrong complained that having two telephone exchanges in the municipality was inconvenient. Council asked the telephone company to correct the nuisance.

• Langley School Board asked the provincial government for special consideration on a $10.6 million budget – which was 16 per cent beyond the province’s basic educational guideline.

• Langley Township agreed to give the Langley Days Committee $200, provided the City matched it.

Thirty Years Ago

• A 5.5 per cent raise, awarded to janitorial staff by a conciliation board, was rejected by school trustees.

Janitors, in turn, rejected the trustees’ subsequent offer of two per cent.

• Reeve George Brooks questioned the school board’s “huge” budget, noting that, even without the three mill tax increase it would require, Langley was already the “highest taxed municipality in B.C.”

• Langley Community Services directors apologized to their executive director, as a last act before shutting down operations.

The director had started a wrongful dismissal action against the LCS. The entire board of directors that had been in place when she was dismissed had resigned, and the formal apology came from the new board.

Twenty Years Ago

February 23, 1994

• Conversion of the Canadian Forces Naval Station in Aldergrove from a staffed facility to an automated radio installation was expect to cost the community’s economy about $8 million.

• Langley School Board decided that the old Willoughby schoolhouse would have to be moved, if it was to be preserved at all.

• A controversial proposal to inject 5,000 gallons of effluent per day deep under Aldergrove was turned down by the provincial Environment Ministry.

Ten Years Ago

February 24, 2004

• Provincial legislation put the rest of B.C. closer in line with the Langleys. The new law forced home sellers across the province to admit to prospective buyers if the home had been used to grow marijuana. In Langley, municipal bylaws required that any home busted as a grow op had to be brought back up to the building code before it could be reoccupied.

February 27, 2004

• A Langley man, John Arnason, came out and told the story of how, 60 years earlier, he and other Canadian soldiers had been subjected to poison gas experiments. He hoped that, by telling his story, others would come forward to claim due compensation.

I support sustainability, walkability and a vibrant historic village core in Fort Langley. I am in favour of the Coulter Berry Building proceeding.

Living history

Holocaust experts visit

A Holocaust survivor is one of the guests at a special symposium.

A few tickets are still available for the Holocaust Symposium this Thursday organized by the Langley Centennial Museum.

On the morning of March 6, Holocaust survivor David Ehrlich will be speaking about his experiences including being at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, and as a war orphan in Canada.

Historian Kit Krieger will be speaking about this dark period of modern history.

The symposium complements two exhibits provided courtesy of the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. The exhibits are on display at the museum in Fort Langley. More Than Just Games: Canada, and the 1936 Olympics and Framing Bodies: Sport and Spectacle in Nazi Germany are on display until March 16. Admission to see the exhibits is free.

Admission to the symposium is $5 and advance registration is required.

Gators clip Crusaders to take third in Valley

Walnut Grove’s senior boys will look to carry momentum into the B.C. championship tournament at the LEC.

by Troy Landreville

sports@langleyadvance.com

Jadon Cohee sunk the game-winning basket with under a minute to go, lifting the Walnut Grove Gators past Surrey’s Holy Cross Crusaders 66-65 on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.

The match-up decided the third and fourth place teams in the Fraser Valley senior boys Quad A basketball championship tournament.

“On a basis of one to 10, I’d say a 10,” said Gators head coach George Bergen when assessing the play of Cohee, a Grade 12 guard who finished with a teambest 30 points versus the Crusaders. “But it was a team effort.”

The game pitted the provincially No. 3-ranked Crusaders against the fifthranked Gators.

Holy Cross held a slim 65-64 lead before Cohee’s clutch shot decided the outcome.

The Crusaders’ final shot bounced around the rim but stayed out as the game clock ticked down to zero.

Walnut Grove played for third after losing 64-40 to Coquitlam’s Gleneagle Talons in one of two Fraser Valley semifinals held Friday at the LEC.

Last year, the Gators won the Fraser Valley Triple A title and went on to capture the B.C. championship.

This year, at the Quad A level, the Fraser Valley zone is considered by many to be the toughest in the province, with seven teams ranked in the top 10 in B.C. “I think the Fraser Valley is tough. It was tough when I played, it was tough 10 years ago, it’s tough now,” Bergen said.

Next up for the Gators is the B.C. senior boys Quad A championships at the LEC. The Gators’ first game

Queen Charlotte.

The tourney runs until March 15.

Asked if he thought the win over Holy Cross will give the Gators momentum going into the provincials, Bergen said, “I’d say every win gives you momentum, whether it’s early in the season or later, but certainly winning that one is a huge momentum boost.”

He added, “We Troy Landreville/Langley Advance have a tough draw Walnut Grove Gators guard Jadon Cohee drove [at the provincials], hard to the basket against the Holy Cross Crusaders but we’re going to on Saturday during third place game of the Fraser battle hard.”

Rivermen roll to first BCHL regular season title The Langley Rivermen ruled the B.C. Hockey League during the regular season. The playoffs begin Tuesday when the ’Men host the Surrey Eagles at the Langley Events Centre.

It’s official: the Langley Rivermen are the 2013/14 B.C. Hockey League regular season champions.

Wins by the Rivermen over their Mainland Division rival Prince George Spruce Kings Thursday and Friday clinched the league title, and with it, the coveted Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy.

This marks the first time in the Rivermen’s short history that they have accomplished this feat.

“It means a great deal,” Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said. “At the end of the day, they [the players] won a regular season championship and that was a goal of ours com-

ing out of the gate. It’s a nice milestone, for sure. It’s something these guys can carry with them for the rest of their hockey careers and the rest of their lives.

It’s quite an honour.”

The ’Men sealed the deal Friday with a 2-1 win over the Spruce Kings at the Prince George Coliseum.

With the victory, the Rivermen finished the season with a league-best 37-13-3-5 record for 82 points.

The next closest team in the overall standings was the Island Division champion Victoria Grizzlies (37-15-3-3), who garnered 80 points.

Henderson said that, while balanced scoring (six players with 40 or more points) and a stingy defence (their 155 goals allowed

Langley Rivermen players celebrated a goal earlier this season. The Rivermen have reason to celebrate going into their first round playoff series against the Surrey Eagles. With an outstanding 37-13-3-5 record, they won the Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy as B.C. Hockey League regular season champions.

over 58 games ranked second amongst BCHL teams) were obvious factors in the team’s success this season, team character was crucial.

“The main ingredient was the character in our [dressing] room,” Henderson said. “We battled through a lot of adversity, from our schedule, to different injuries and illnesses, to all kinds of internal stuff. For them to stay focused for 58 games says a lot

about the character in our room.”

In the Rivermen’s final regular season game on Friday, Langley’s Matt Ustaski snapped a 1-1 tie with what turned out to be the game winner at the 8:57 mark of the third period.

Ustaski’s team-leading 29th of the season was set up by defenceman Viktor Dombrovskiy and rookie forward Darien Craighead.

The ’Men trailed 1-0 after the

first period and knotted the game at a goal apiece on a goal from their captain Mitch McLain 7:31 into the middle frame.

Rivermen goaltender Brock Crossthwaite stopped 23 of 24 Spruce Kings shots to earn his 24th win of the season, second amongst BCHL goaltenders behind West Kelowna’s Andy Desautels (27). However, Crossthwaite played nine fewer games than Desautels.

Crossthwaite had an all-star calibre regular season with a 249-1 record, a 2.42 goals against average (third best in the BCHL), three shutouts (tied with four other goalies for first in the league), and a .913 save percentage (sixth in the BCHL).

Rivermen 5, Prince George Spruce Kings 3 In Thursday’s opener of their two-games-in-two-nights set at the Prince George Coliseum, McLain snapped a 3-3 tie with 6:27 to go in regulation time. continued on page A16…
