Doors of Langley School District schools opened for the start of a new school year Monday.

Students missed 14 days of this school year and time back in June during the last school year.

“The Ministry of Education has decided that time lost at the beginning of this school year will not be made up,” explained Langley superintendent Suzanne Hoffman.

There will be tweeking of the calendar.

A scheduled non-instructional half day that was to take place on Friday, Sept. 26 will be rescheduled, likely in the spring.

“Semestered secondary schools may alter their semester turnaround days to balance the two semesters but otherwise we will be implementing the current approved calendars as they are” Hoffman said. “Details of any date changes to semester turnaround will be communicated with the affected families as soon as they are available.”

Families are advised to keep a

close eye on their school’s websites for changes.

The district has done preliminary work on what the job action has meant financially.

“The Ministry of Education will be reclaiming the costs associated with the lost time,” according to Langley School District secretary-treasurer David Green.

“This includes teacher salaries and benefits and well as various operating expenses. The impact on the budget should be minimal as the money saved will be taken back by the ministry.”

The contract was ratified last week by teacher votes and by school district, which also had to vote. So on a drizzly Monday morning, Langley schools welcomed back more than 18,000 students.

“This journey has been long and challenging but the District is thankful for your patience and excited to begin a new school year,” Hoffman said in an opening day letter to parents.

Families impacted by the job action can sign up with the government to receive $40 per day for the missed time this school year from Sept. 2 to the day the contract was ratified.

The online registration site is still accepting applications (https://www.etax.gov.bc.ca/ btp/tesp/_/).

Langley athlete meets U.S. president

A Langley Special Olympics athlete and ambassador spoke in front of president Barack Obama, the first lady, and several dignitaries and celebrities on July 31.

Mr. President, meet Matthew Williams.

Williams told the White House audience how he faced seizures, brain surgery, and bullying when he was younger, but powered through with the help of the people who have believed in him.

Now he is on his way to becoming a certified personal trainer and aims to help other individuals with intellectual disabilities.

His story struck a chord with audience members such as Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo, who approached Williams to talk afterward and ask more about his experiences. Williams said he also particularly enjoyed talking with tennis star Andy Roddick and his model-actress wife Brooklyn Decker, who asked about Special Olympics and Williams’ own sports.

And then it was right back into the world of sports for Williams.

The day after the White House gala, he flew home and travelled to a three-day speed skating camp in Kelowna with fellow SOBC athlete Paige Norton.

Williams is one of three SOBC – Langley athletes who will compete for Canada at the 2015 World Games next July.

He joins his basketball teammate, Alastair Singh, and swimmer Josh Low as Langley residents chosen to compete for Canada next summer.

Team Canada consists of 115 athletes, 32 coaches, 11 mission staff, three team managers and one Chef de Mission who will be travelling to Los Angeles next July, with 85 of the athletes attending their first World Games.

“It will be an honour,” Williams said.” This will be my first time as a competitor at a World Games.”

Canadian and American emergency personnel worked alongside to help a motorist after a lunchtime rollover Friday on Zero Avenue at 266th Street.

Emergency personnel received a call about the crash just after 1 p.m.

Sept. 19. A Surrey woman in a 2000 Dodge Durango was taken away by air ambulance. It landed on the U.S. side in a field.

“The original call came in from the sheriffs on the U.S. side,” said Langley RCMP Const. Craig van Herk.

The Canadian vehicle came to rest partway in the ditch on the American side.

“Emergency services from both sides were there,” he said.

He said it’s something that happens in border communities and both sides cooperate when situations arise.

“Behind the scenes there’s a lot of communication [when there is an emergency at the border],” van Herk explained on Friday.

The narrow single lane road used to connect with the Aldergrove border crossing but was closed off as the crossing undergoes a renovation.

The crash splintered a power pole and BC Hydro crews were on scene to install a replacement.

Langley’s school board chair won’t be running for a third term.

Instead, Wendy Johnson is, after 40 years in education, semi-retiring and moving to New Westminster next year.

Johnson, who will be 65 years old in 2015, has served two terms as a school trustee and three years as board chair.

One of the longest serving Langley School District trustees will go for another term.

Rod Ross has announced a run in the Nov. 15 election as one of the Township seats. He was a trustee 1990 to 1996 and was re-elected in 1999.

“We must ensure that every student is successful... our society cannot afford to to lose even one. It may seem quaint... but I do believe... we can do great things together,” he added.

Ross was on the district through some of its worst times, such as school closings and the discovery of a $13.5 million debt which had to be repaid, and wants to continue working as a trustee.

I would highly recommend them to everyone”. 10/10 Stars - Susan from Surrey “I went to Diverse Flooring because a contractor I hired did not fulfill what he promised me. I was left in a bind with a very limited time frame to complete my space for building inspection. The staff at Diverse was not only extremely helpful and professional, they were very understanding and went beyond their call of duty ... The installers were punctual, efficient and most importantly, they did a great job and they finished on time! The staff and owners are honest and compassionate and I am very grateful and happy to have used this company.”

He said public safety has been and will continue to be a focus for him. “Our policing model in the Township is sound,” he said. “Our fire and emergency response times are excellent and make for a safe community, one that is more liveable for our families.”

He plans to continue to address growth in the Township’s recreational facilities and parks, and listed his continued commitment to building a recreation complex for Aldergrove, a need to look at “options and partnerships to see if we cannot get a fine arts performance theatre,” and a focus on parks and green space development in the Willoughby Slope area.

“The role of a Township councillor is to look after the best interests of the Township as a whole,” he said, “not those of narrowfocused interest groups.”

Lessard has spoken to many residents who feel their ideas, concerns and opinions are not heard currently at the council table. She said she would be a receptive ear to residents.

Lessard is also advocating for sustainable development “so that Langley continues to be an amazing place to live for everyone.” She said the Township’s Official Community Plan must reflect the needs and vision of the whole community.

Another focus for her is youths/young adults.

She said they need to be engaged in their community so they want to stay here and help make it a better place.

Lessard pledges to bring commitment and a positive attitude to the job of councillor if elected.

Avoid hazards in school zones

As of this week, children have again become a standard driving hazard – especially if the route for your morning commute or afternoon trip to the grocery store runs through or near a school zone.

Kids are back in school. And they’re excited about it. Both those factors will require extra caution from drivers.

Because many parents opt to drive their children to and from school, there will be a significant spike in neighbour traffic volumes and congestion on weekday mornings and afternoons from here on in.

Traffic congestion has a way of creating frustration and inciting rash behaviour – and bad decisions – in drivers who suddenly realize they are going to be late for work or appointments.

In an environment of traffic congested by parents trying to relearn the routine of getting their youngsters to the school’s front door, frustrated commuters finding their usual route to work clogged, and masses of kids bubbling with excitement, one bad decision can wreak havoc on many lives.

To create even more confusion, lots of kids will be walking to school, creating a mass of pedestrian traffic excited about their belated return to school, finally reconnecting with friends, and filled with all sorts of thoughts and ideas to distract them from the business of safely negotiating their route from home to classroom.

Throw in the growing trend to distracted driving as people who have always tried to combine their commute with breakfast or personal grooming and now split their concentration on cellphones and texting (we shudder to think what will happen when devices like Google Glass become ubiquitous), and tragedy lurks at every corner, at the edge of every sidewalk.

Try to remember, as you’re texting or chatting or trying to make up some lost time, that in any unintended contact between a vehicle and a child, the child always loses.

And so do you.

– B.G.

Seniors’ games well played

Dear Editor, Congratulations to the City and Township of Langley, and in particular, to the organizing committee of the recent BC Seniors Games for doing an excellent job in making the games such a successful and memorable event.

This was my first Seniors Games as a participant, and I was really impressed by the organization, the facilities, the preparation, the scheduling, and particularly, the hospitality that we received during our stay.

A huge thank-you goes to the organizing

committee and all the volunteers, and a special thank-you goes to Ross and his merry band of helpers who managed to coordinate and play almost 600 games of pickleball in less than five days.

I think Langley’s new motto should be: “The impossible we do immediately, miracles take a little longer!”

As a participant, it was great to meet new friends, exchange information, and build relationships. Thank you for the opportunity, and congratulations on a job well done.

Looking for issues and attention, members of the Unelection Campaign group, a political upstart, antiprogress group that hopes to unseat some incumbents with their own candidates in the Township in the November election, decided to oppose a basic setback variance application at the Sept. 8 council meeting.

Looking back…

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

Eighty Years Ago

September 20, 1934

• The new United Church Hall was officially opened in Langley Prairie.

• The telephone company offered to install and operate a fire siren in Langley Prairie, but the fire brigade could not raise enough money to buy one. Volunteers were called out individually to fire, often causing delays and heavy losses.

Seventy Years Ago

September 21, 1944

• W.C. Mainwaring, chairman of the advisory council, said

D-Day would be announced across the country with blasts of air raid sirens.

• Tea and coffee were taken off the ration lists, but sugar stayed on.

• Thirteen degrees of frost was recorded, ruining many local crops, including acres of beans off Brown Road (240th Street).

Sixty Years Ago

September 23, 1954

• The Aldergrove fire zone bylaw was passed by an overwhelming majority, allowing borrowing of $1,200 to replace a fire truck and new equipment.

LangleyAdvance

1974: Chamber barely survives disbanding motion • The ward system of electing councillors in Langley was abolished after a two-hour debate in a council meeting. Reeve (Mayor) George Brooks broke a deadlock after his earlier abstention created a tie vote. Under provincial regulations, the wards could not be re-instated after being voted out of existence.

• A record turn-out was expected among Langley Prairie’s 917 eligible voters for a plebescite on the village’s secession from the rest of Langley.

Fifty Years Ago

September 23, 1964

• Traffic lights were installed on the corners of Glover Road and New McLellan Road (56th Avenue) at Fraser Highway.

Continuing Education

Forty Years Ago

September 19, 1974

• Langley Chamber of Commerce postponed a notice of motion to disband itself.

The motion, by Joe Chesney, arose at the September meeting attended by only four members, some of whom had left by the time the topic was raised.

Chesney was spurred by apparent apathy. The motion was tabled for a month.

• Money continued to pour in after Langley Memorial Hospital’s campaign for a new wing went over the top of its $93,000 budget.

• Langley City got a $78,000 loan from the federal Winter Capital Projects Fund, most of the $95,000 needed to build a community hall in Douglas Park.

Thirty Years Ago

September 19, 1984

• Anticipated traffic jams failed to materialize in Langley, as about 150,000 people – far less than expected – went to see Pope

John Paul at a special mass at Abbotsford Airport.

• A depressed housing market was expected to keep property taxes down to the previous year’s level.

Twenty Years Ago

September 21, 1994

• A dance floor shouting match escalated to a fight that ended in a death and a second degree murder.

• A brawl on the ice between Langley’s junior hockey team and the Chilliwack Chiefs drew nearly four hours worth of penalties and serious rebukes from the head of the B.C. Junior Hockey League. Langley Thunder players were nailed for 24 penalties totalling 174 minutes, while the Chiefs picked up eight penalties for 60 minutes. Three Thunder members also got multi-game suspensions.

• Township council buried a proposal to build a funeral home and crematorium in Aldergrove.

• All federal operating fund-

ing was cut off for National Exhibition Centres across Canada – including the one in Fort Langley.

Ten Years Ago

September 21, 2004

• Langley City won the Canada-wide Communities in Bloom competition.

• Retiring general manager Ryc Fowler was replaced by publisher Liz Lynch at the helm of the Langley Advance.

• TransLink reached a deal with the Katzie First Nation over rights to build the Golden Ears Bridge.

September 24, 2004

• The 20,187 students in local schools were 481 fewer than in the previous year – and 200 fewer than expected.

• Councillor Kim Richter wanted Langley Township to pick up court costs for intervenors fighting the SE2 power plant across the border in Washington State.

• Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce was recognized nationally for its high professional standards.

Charity event

Owners cruise into Langley with prized possessions A The Langley Good Times Cruise-In on Sept. 6 was a big success, and had no shortage of Langley entrants.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

A

good number of owners of classic cars and trucks, and hot rods didn’t have to travel very far to show off their prized possessions at the Langley Good Times Cruise-In. The annual show and shine was held Sept. 6 under sunshine and clear blue skies in downtown Langley.

Langley resident Al Tecklenborg lounged in a lawn chair next to his 1913 Ford Model T at the Concours d’Elegance at Douglas Park.

Tecklenborg said he acquired the Model T from former Langley City Mayor, the late Reg Easingwood, “way back when,” around 1970.

A five passenger, four cylinder, 20 horsepower car, a Model T Touring Car retailed for $600 and included an extension top, top cover, automatic brass windshield, speedometer, two sixinch gas lamps, generator, three oil lamps, horn, tools, and jack.

Langley resident Al Underhill put his 1955 Chevy Bel Air on display along the one-way portion of Fraser Highway during the Langley Good Times Cruisein. The 17th edition of the car show was held Saturday, Sept. 6.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Al Tecklenborg, from Langley, brought his 1913 Model T Ford to the Langley Good Times Cruise-in on Saturday.

His Model T “runs good,” said Tecklenborg, who drove the vintage vehicle to Cruise-In. “We did a frame-up, I guess you would call it, took it all apart, cleaned it up, painted it,” he said.

F

urther north, along the one-way portion of Fraser Highway was where you could find Al Underhill’s 1955 Chevy Bel Air. The Bel Air has come a long way in many respects; Underhill

bought it from its previous owner from Boston, Mass., about two years back.

He found the car on a “racing junk website,” Underhill said.

Since acquiring the Bel Air, Underhill has given it a complete overhaul, including new paint, motor, transmission, rear end, suspension, and frame.

This isn’t his first classic car.

Underhill said he’s been a car collector for 30 years.

The Bel Air is a nod to Underhill’s first car, a ’55 Chevy that he purchased when he was 15 years old.

This marks the second straight year Underhill has shown the car at Cruise-In. He said he had “lots of thumbs up” from passers-by on Saturday.

“It’s amazing,” Underhill said.

“Old people like it, too. It’s noisy, but they like it.”

Parked next to the Bel Air was Underhill’s 1968 Camaro, which he is trying to sell.

couple of blocks away, Shannon MacDonald, from the Bradner area, had her hand-built hot rod on display.

“It started as a joke,” MacDonald shared. “We had an old, beat up body hanging in the rafters…”

It took MacDonald four years to collect the parts, followed by about four-and-a-half months of what she described as “intense labour” to put the car together.

MacDonald did everything on the car herself, including custom building the chassis, many of the suspension components, engine exhaust headers and fabricating the custom body.

“I did it all myself,” she said.

“Every last stinky part of it.”

She got it on the road in July 2010, and this was the third time it’s shown at Cruise-In. “I live in Abbotsford and it [Cruise-In] is lots of fun, and I’ve got lots of friends who come here, so it’s kind of a social event,” MacDonald said.

“So you wander around and you get to see new cars and see ideas on other people’s cars.”

It’s always a crowd-pleaser, MacDonald said.

“People love the thing,” she said. “They get quite a chuckle out of it because it takes them back to the old days.”

While registered as a 2010 vehicle, it’s based on a 1924 roadster pick-up.

And it has covered plenty of asphalt, racking up 17,000 miles so far. MacDonald has driven to relatively far-away places such as Ascroft and Barkerville.

The 420 horsepower fivespeeder, which weighs a scant 1,850 pounds, has a lot of giddy up and go.

“In Ashcroft, I granny shifted it and idled off the line, and it went 12 seconds flat at 116 mph, and it gets 24-and-a-half miles to the gallon on the highway,” MacDonald said. “It’s like driving a thousand horsepower Chevelle.”

WATERWEEKS EVENTS MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

MESSAGE FROM THE LEPS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Welcome to WaterWeeks 2014!

With our beautiful natural surroundings, abundant wildlife habitat, and clean, accessible drinking water, there is a lot to be grateful for in the Township of Langley.

WaterWeeks is a chance to celebrate the environment and learn about the natural assets that we are so fortunate to enjoy in our community. These are valuable resources that need to be respected and protected, and everyone can do their part to ensure they thrive for generations to come.

During WaterWeeks 2014, fun and educational events will be offered so that people of all ages and interests can find out what it takes to protect our air quality, groundwater, watercourses, and watersheds. A number of people, groups, and community organizations have committed their time and efforts to make this event a success and we appreciate their efforts to share their knowledge and help the public learn while having a great time!

WaterWeeks 2014 gets started on Sunday, September 28, with the annual BC Rivers Day Community Festival in Williams Park. Entertainment, food, streamside planting, displays, crafts, and activities will be offered, and the public is encouraged to come out and enjoy the day.

On behalf of Township of Langley Council, welcome to WaterWeeks 2014.

We hope you participate, learn, and enjoy.

Sincerely,

LEPS is excited to once again host the annual BC Rivers Day Festival and WaterWeeks 2014 in partnership with the Township of Langley.

We are delighted by the many excellent events planned just for you. BC Rivers Day, the kickoff to WaterWeeks 2014 will be a great day, and we are bringing back the Upcycled Boat Race for all ages. There is even a category for Corporate/Municipal/Business entries!

LEPS is a unique non-profit, charitable organization that encourages community participation to achieve our mission of protecting and restoring the natural environment through education, cooperation, and action.

LEPS aims to inspire Langley residents to take steps towards sustainability by conserving water, reducing waste, making greener transportation choices, and cutting chemical use in your home and garden. No effort is too small to make a big difference.

Bring your friends and family to the Rivers Day Festival and WaterWeeks events, and engage in environmental initiatives in Langley throughout the year. Together, we make Langley a healthy community, because water is in our nature.

Achievement

Trio earns accolades

Devon Chubey, David Nicomans and Robert Ouellette received with their gold awards in Victoria on Sept. 13.

It was quite an experience, and honour, for three Langley youth recently.

Devon Chubey, David Nicomans and Robert Ouellette were presented with their gold award from His Royal Highness, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, the highest honour in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Program.

They received their awards at a ceremony recognizing 87 Gold Award recipients from across B.C. The ceremony took place Sept. 13 at Government House in Victoria.

At the ceremony the Earl of Wessex spoke to the Gold achievers: “You have stretched yourselves in ways that have perhaps surprised yourselves and others, and you’ve stepped outside that comfort zone, and as a result you’ve come through feeling much more confident about your own abilities and what you can do, which will serve you in good stead in the future. I wish you the very best of luck in all of that, and, once again, congratulations.”

The Langley trio completed many endeavours on their way to their awards.

Devon completed her award with the 2nd Brookswood Eagles.

She is a competitive softball player who attended the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden.

Rams ramble to lopsided win over Raiders

A motivated Langley team thumped the visiting VI Raiders at McLeod Stadium on Saturday.

Season winding down

’Men stumble to 0-2 start to campaign The Langley Rivermen have high expectations this season, despite a tough start at the Bauer BCHL Showcase.

…continued from page A17

Alamolhoda couldn’t be more proud of his players.

“I felt everybody was committed to playing at the highest level, and that was probably due to a lot of adversity that they faced during the week,” Alamolhoda said.

The Rams bench boss added that his team was “committed to focus. They wanted to win and sacrificed what it took to get the win.

I think the guys realize now what it takes to win big games.”

The Rams have two games remaining before playoffs, and both are on the road starting this Sunday afternoon, Sept.

28, at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna, where they will visit the Sun.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Their perfect 4-0 pre-season season record has been rendered moot after the Langley Rivermen stumbled at the Bauer BCHL Showcase at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre.

The Rivermen are 0-2 to start the regular campaign after losing 2-1 to the Victoria Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon, and 4-2 to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks on Friday.

Victoria Grizzlies 2, Rivermen 1 The ’Men got off to a good start against the Grizzlies, as Evan Anderson scored his second of the season with one second left in first period to give Langley a 1-0 lead.

But that’s all the offence they could muster, thanks to some stellar goaltending by Victoria’s Michael Stiliadis, who made 34 saves in the win.

Langley Advance fiiles

Langley Rivermen second-year forward Marcus Vela, pictured here being shoved to the ice

by Nanaimo Clippers defenceman Austin Dick during B.C. Hockey League action in December 2013 at the Langley Events Centre, has confidence in his team.

“It wasn’t what we wanted to get done this weekend,” Rivermen associate head coach Jon Calvano said. “We would’ve liked to come home with four points but we saw some areas of improvement we

can strive for.”

Like Friday’s 4-2 loss to Salmon Arm, the Rivermen had plenty of scoring chances and outshot the Grizzlies 35-28, but were unable to capitalize.

KNOW THE NEW RULES

Langley was also 0-4 on the power play.

“It wasn’t very potent,” said Calvano. “We didn’t execute any of our opportunities. We had some looks but our execution isn’t where we want it to be right now.”

Victoria, which was outplayed for much of the game, tied things up in second period when PJ Conlon scored with under four minutes left in the frame.

The Grizzlies scored the eventual game winner, as Shawn McBride finished off a one-timer, 1:54 into the third period.

Despite losing key scorers from last season, the Rivermen are hoping to have a balanced attack, but so far, have struggled to find the back of the net.

“It’s only two games in,” said Calvano. “We have to minimize our turnovers in the offense zone and work with the defense on quicker transition with the puck instead of making the high risk passes.”

The ’Men split goaltending duties. After Bo Didur took the loss against Salmon Arm on Friday, Darren Martin made 26 saves in a losing cause Sunday.

Rivermen name leaders

Collision

…continued from page A18 The Rivermen will have a full week off before they head to Vernon next Sunday to take on the Vipers, who split their first two games at the BCHL Showcase.

Salmon Arm Silverbacks 4, Rivermen 2 Salmon Arm’s Andrew Farny, Thomas Plese, Carson Bolduc, and Nick Hutchison scored for the Silverbacks, while Will Campion and Evan Anderson tallied goals for the Rivermen.

Both teams had 35 shots apiece.

The Rivermen got into penalty trouble early and their lack of discipline seemed to cost them a chance at a victory, taking 12 minor penalties in the loss.

Salmon Arm got things going as Farny scored on the power play to kick off the scoring. That was followed up by Plese, who made it 2-0 for the Silverbacks after 40 minutes.

The Rivermen then cut the lead to one, as Campion scored a point blank goal on Salmon Arm goalie Angus Redmond, making it 2-1.

The Silverbacks would counter, as Bolduc would score on the man advantage making it 3-1 Salmon Arm. Anderson scored late for Langley but that’s as close as the Rivermen would come as the Silverbacks added an empty net goal from Hutchison, securing the victory.

The Rivermen have set the bar high, after winning the Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy as the league’s top point-producing team during the 2013/14 regular season.

The local juniors, however, fell short in the playoffs, losing to Coquitlam in the Mainland Division Finals.

This year, the Rivermen are hoping to take the next step.

Walnut Grove, B.C.

“We’re champing at the bit to get going here,” Rivermen head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson said.

“It was a bit of a longer off-season than we had hoped for, but it also gave us a good chance to get some good recruits. We’re ready to peak and looking to get the season going.”

“We were such a good team last year and we had so much depth up front,” said forward Evan Anderson, who’s entering his final year with the Rivermen. “We pride ourselves in being the best team in the Mainland Division and I think we’re going to follow through with that again this year.”

The Rivermen were busy in the off-season, strengthening their back end with the additions of defencemen Jacob Kearley, Jordan Schneider, Dom Masellis, as well as recently acquired Steven Duda.

“Last season the bulk of our muscle was up front,” Henderson said. “I thought on the back end we were a little small. We had tons of ability but we ran into some big bodies in the playoffs.

That was one area we decided to get a little bigger. We have a little bit different dynamic this year.

We’re faster up front and more of a balanced attack. We still plan to be fairly aggressive, take away time and space, continue to defend hard, and try to limit our opponent’s chances.”

One of the Rivermen’s newest blueliners is adjusting to the pace of the BCHL game.

“I think there’s a bit of a learning curve for me, coming from Ontario,” Schneider said. “The speed’s a bit faster than where I was playing before. It seems there’s more depth on the teams.

Back home, every team had one or two lines that they leaned on.

Here, all four lines and all six

defensemen can play.”

The Rivermen will begin the season with a young squad, including 10 rookies in the lineup.

“So far, they all have really stepped up and played big roles,” said second year forward, Marcus Vela. “The rookies are actually doing really well and it looks like they’re going to fit in nicely.”

“It’s really something where you look to the returning guys to set the tone and be that calming influence for the young guys,” Henderson added. “There’s no reason for us not to get up for games.

It’s a great building to play in and our home record over the past couple season has shown it. The guys take great pride in playing here and appreciate it.”

With two solid netminders, Henderson is going with the dual goaltending approach.

“We’ll take it game by game,” he said. “We like to share the workload, but how we delegate that will vary. It’ll be based on rest, the upcoming schedule and other times it’ll be based on who’s got the hot hand. We don’t have a set plan in place. The more flexibility we allow ourselves, the better off we’ll be.”

Includng the BCHL Bauer Showcase, the Rivermen will play their first four games away from the Langley Events Centre.

“It’s a great vehicle for our league to showcase our players,” Henderson noted, prior to the showcase. “I only wish it was a couple games in, so the guys could have a few games to squash the nerves a bit but that’s part of playing in the league, you’ve got to expect scouts to be watching all the time. They’ll just have to rise to the occasion and thrive on it. This much exposure for one weekend of hockey is great for the league.”

“The showcase is interesting because you look around and you see guys with clipboards all around the rink,” Anderson said. “It teaches you to play under pressure and I think it’s a good test to see what we can accomplish early on.”

The Rivermen will start the season with one main goal in mind.

“You talk to anybody on our team and the goal is to win the Fred Page Cup,” Anderson said.

The Rivermen have announced their alternate captains for the 2014/15 season.

Joining captain Kevin Kilistoff, will be alternates Jacob Kearley, Hunter Anderson, Brendan Gulka, and Gage Torrel.

Gulka and Torrel will split time wearing the “A” on their jerseys.

Gulka will wear the letter for home games while Torrel will wear it for away games.

The Grand Prize RV will be drawn on Oct. 5, 2014.
