ACAC Championship Game to be replayed over technicality, Oilers Voice gets NAME retired to rafters, Alberni Golf Club Update

This is just plain crazy...maybe the back up goalie was amazingly proficient at opening and closing the bench door, and as such, he was a factor in the game? 

Just plain sad, along with crazy. I hope Mount Royal wins again, and I hope if SAIT does win in the end it feels hollow and as tainted as it is. Apologies to former Bulldog Warren Muir, who plays for SAIT. 





Alberta college hockey championship game to be replayed over technicality

      CALGARY - A Calgary hockey team that won the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference championship on Sunday is now being told the game will have to be replayed.

      The Mount Royal University Cougars defeated the SAIT Trojans by 1-0, taking the series 3-2 and finally breaking the Trojans' four-year winning streak.

      But on Tuesday, the ACAC ruled the Cougars used a backup goalie who wasn't eligible and ordered another championship game be played on Saturday.

      The unusual situation came as a result of an injury to Cougars' starting goalie Justin Cote in Game 4.

      Cote wasn't available to play in the next game, so backup Brett Bothwell played instead, leading the Cougars to the win.

      But the Cougars brought in another goalie to back up Bothwell, and even though he never played in the game, he was deemed ineligible because he is only a part-time student at the university.

Now here's something different - Rod Phillips, the long time voice of the Edmonton Oilers (37 years) was honoured last night by the Oilers with his name - and the number of games he called (over 3000) raised to the rafters. Cool stuff.




 Last but not least, here's your Alberni Golf Club Men's Club update.




Seventy men teed it up on Sunday as another Men’s Club Season got under way. The weather was fine, although there was a slight shower as we headed out onto the links, but it only lasted for one hole. The sun even tried to come out at one point. So much for the weather report.


Thanks so much to the firm of Duncan, Sabine, Collyer Accountants for sponsoring the four man best ball.
This year Club Captain Fred Fredrickson has changed things around slightly, by awarding 3 gross prizes and 5 net prizes.


First low gross was won by the team of Brett Parhar, Sam Parhar, Ken Fong and Gord Cutting. Second low gross went to the team of Steve White, Jerry White, Mickey Keeley and Gene Kimoto. The final gross prize went to Wayne Johnstone, Dennis Debolt, Colin Hamilton and Pat McKay. On the net side, first place went to Jim Proteau, Cory Neilson, Darrel Van Os and Bill Morin. Second was the team of Tom Price, John Panagrot, Colin McPherson and Bill Goodman. In third spot was Dave Mann, Steve Pointon, Phil Anker and Brian Boulliard. Fourth low net went to Joe Baker, Clint Wilson, Jim Rhodes and Ron Barker. Fifth low net was won by Wolf Suhr, Ned Stewart, Don McGowan and Vic Carlton.


Closest to the pins were won by Mike Shewchuck on #2, Fred Fredrickson was the winner of the Charity Closest to the pin on #4, collecting $46 for his effort. For his second shot on #6 it was Brett Parhar, Colin Hamilton on # 13, and Jerry White on #17. The long drive on #16 was won by Chris Colclough who received a gift certificate donated by Westwind pub. There was also three draws made for those who weren’t in the prizes, but you had to be there when you name was called to win.


In the ball sweep, Jim Proteau shot an impressive 72 to win 3 balls, followed by Bruce MacDonald winning 2 balls with a gross 77. On the net side taking home 2 balls each after shooting 69 was Mickey Keeley, Gene Kimoto and Jerry White,


Next Sunday is an open day, with the option of playing blind partners for a $5 fee. It is a two man best ball but you wont know who your partner is until you finish the game. Tee times start at 8 AM. Enter in the Pro. Shop in your own foursome. Don’t forget to enter the ball sweep, money pot and the Charity closest to the pin.
