Females fantastic in Fall Face-OffBenjamin YongSooke News Mirror

Vancouver Island’s big-gest all-girls hockey tourna-ment just keeps getting big-ger, and this year’s annual Female Fall Face-Off was no exception.

Wendy Pierce, female development coordinator for Sooke Minor Hockey, said there were teams from Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland that couldn’t take part because there simply wasn’t enough space.

“We could have double the amount of teams come if we had another ice sur-face,” she said.

The event allows female hockey in B.C. to gain more exposure, have a tourna-ment that’s within their

own association, and just a chance to bond with team-mates and other players.

However, exposure isn’t generally a problem in Sooke, said Pierce.

“There are 300 members in Sooke Minor Hockey, a third are generally female.”

Even so, every year is different with girls either graduating to a higher divi-sion, or leav-ing to play in Island regional teams. This year, some jug-gling was required having some younger girls play up a division so there would be

enough players to fill out a roster. This has allowed a team to exist in every divi-sion from atom to midget

continue for the sixth consecu-tive year.

The ban-tam division, coached by Julie Lafon-taine, is one such team.

“We lost a lot of bantam play-ers this year and we have three peewees that we had to bring up so we had a squad of

11,” said Lafontaine.There are also some pee-

wees that are affiliate play-ers, meaning they play on peewee teams but if there

are no scheduling conflicts can sub in positions for ban-tam, like goalie.

Because of so many new additions, she said everyone is still getting to know each other’s strengths and weak-nesses. A good example of this was their second game of the tournament against Kelowna on Friday night.

The first period was tied 1-1 with a goal for the home team by Desiree Cumming. Kelowna scored a go ahead goal making it 2-1 and then Kendall Parkinson tied it up once more just before the halfway mark. The offence wouldn’t produce any more after that and Kelowna pulled ahead 3-2, and scored an empty net goal in the dying seconds of the fourth

SEAPARC STAR SEAPARC STAR of theof the WEEK WEEK✪✪This week’s little shining star is four year old Sophia Hallas. She attends Kingfi sher

Pre-school and is looking forward to starting Kindergarten next September. She will

be attending Ecole Poirier soon and says that her big brother Connor has already

started to teach her some French. Sophia takes swimming lessons here at SEAPARC

and is currently in the Crocodile level and says that her teacher Brandon is doing a

very good job. Sophia is in her second year of Ballet lessons and thoroughly enjoyed

playing a talking fl ower in last year’s production of Alice in Wonderland. She wants

to learn how to play soccer soon just like her big brother. She’s his biggest fan

and wears his old gear when she goes out to watch each and every of his games.

Sophia is also looking forward to taking horseback riding lessons but has to wait

until they move into their new house. The family already has 2 horses and a donkey,

but Sophia will be getting her very own pony soon and Mom will be teaching her

how to ride. She told us loves her Nana and Bubba very much and is happy that she

gets to spend lots of time with them. When she’s at home, Sophia likes to play with

her friends and her dolls. She collects rocks and is apparently a very good baker.

Her Mom tells us that Sophia can do it all when it comes to baking and has even

asked Santa for her own baking utensils for Christmas this year. She likes going

Wall Beach in the summer where their family stays in a cabin. She also likes to go

to Mount Washington where she has taken skiing lessons and loves to play in the

snow. Sophia plans on being a professional soccer player when she grows up and

we think she will be a great one! She is described as a fun loving and affectionate

young lady who loves life and the people around her. We certainly enjoyed talking

to you Sophia, thank you for being our SEAPARC Star of the Week!

quarter after Sooke pulled their goalie in a last ditch effort making the final game tally 4-2.

Lafontaine gave top performance to goalieNaomi Yasuda.

“(Kelowna) had a bigger bench (and) they certainly outshotus, that’s why Naomi played really wellbecause she probably faced twice as many shots as their goalie.”

The coach described her group as a “work-house team” that finds success when they grind out plays and try to win every little battle on the ice.

“We don’t have any fancy finesse playersthat can skate up and down the ice with a puck and get a goal. They’re the type to have to try really hard.”

Still in search of their first win this season, only having enough players to fill two lines certainly doesn’t make things any easier. It does makes the teammade up of Grade 7, 8 and 9 girls really work together though, she said.

“If they keep doing this, we’ll start winning some games.”

There have been some individual suc-cesses — on Friday’s skills competition, con-sisting of a speed race, stick handling drill, iron cross and shooting, Parkinson placed sec-ond overall in the tour-nament.

EMCS Wolverine quarterback Alex Wright hustles with the ball to get away from Timberline Wolves’ defenderKeven Brown at home in their lastregular-season game a couple of weekends ago. The Wolverines’ season has justended following a 27-8 loss against the Belmont Bulldogs on Friday afternoon.

Season ends for EMCS

football

Benjamin YongSooke News Mirror

The Wolverineshead coach Matt Morten-

son called this year “a season to be proud of.”

Following their quick playoff exit after losingto Belmont 27-8 in Fri-day’s playoff, the teamfinished fourth overall in their division (whichincludes two triple A teams: Belmont and

GP Vanier) and in the top five for their confer-ence.

The game started off excitingly with touch-downs on both sides.

“Belmont scored on the opening kickoff and EMCS returned the favour with a 70-yard reception from Alex Wright to Tyler Potter,”said Mortenson.

The Wolverines com-pleted the two-point conversion to take the

lead at the end of the first quarter 8-7.

EMCS couldn’t keep up with Belmont’s run-ning game and that was it for the boys in blue.

“We marched the ball from end to endfour times and could not finish. The gamecould have gone either way but in the end Bel-mont’s numbers and size advantaged them,”he said.

Thank you, KidSportBenjamin YongSooke News Mirror

Wearing an oversized white hockey helmet witha face cage, a pink fleece jacket and black tutu, six-year-old Calli Rae looked perfectly at home on theice while she twirled gracefully on the ice at the SEAPARC arena last Tuesday.

With instructors recognizing skating talent far beyond her years, Calli — who is in the SookeSkating Club CanSkate program — might not have had a chance to grow that talent if it wasn’t forKidSport, a non-profit Canadian organization that provides grant money to kids to play sports.

“I was concerned about the cost (of CanSkate) because it’s more money than SEAPARC (skatinglessons), and someone suggested the KidSport program,” said Nicole Rae, Calli’s stay-at-homemother.

Calli was enrolled in regular lessons about twoyears ago at the arena when she was discovered by staff. Nicole found the Victoria branch of theorganization online, printed off, filled out and sent off an application, and within a few short weeksshe was approved. Now the short skater takes part in classes with her peers who are 10 to 12years old.

“She’s the littlest one out there pretty much. I thought, she’s going to get swamped with all these big kids,” said Nicole, laughing.

“I asked if there were lessons for her age level but at her skating level, (the instructor) said no, we’ve never had anyone like Calli before.”

Nicole said the application process was painless and short, asking standard questions like where you live, which sport you’re going to join and what your family income is. Also, a community member has to “vouch” for you — Nicole asked a friend who works with the Sooke Family Resource Society.

“They just sent me a cheque in the mail saying you’ve been approved, here’s your cheque, here’s the amount and I thought ‘thank goodness!’” She said. “They will cover up to $250 per season and so they covered $250 for me which was huge, because we couldn’t afford it.”

Nicole’s husband works part-time as a general maintenance handyman. They have another tod-dler, Mason, who’s two and has “the build of a hockey player” will probably join her sister in organized sport in a couple years. The family is going to be at the arena on Nov. 24 to support theskating club’s Skate-A-Thon fundraiser, where Calli and other members will be skating laps for dona-tion starting at 5:45 p.m.

Sooke soccer player Pete McKay may have

tasted big league suc-cess, but deep down he still bleeds green and white.

Playing with the Celtic men’s div-1 team for about six years, this fall McKay moved to Nanaimo to attend the education program at Vancouver Island Uni-versity. While there, he tried out successfully for the VIU Mariners.

“It’s a little faster — the guys are a little bet-ter, a little younger,” he said of the university-level game.

McKay recognized a lot of the players and even the coach having played against them in the div-1 league where a lot of them return after the school season ends. The 28-year-old defenceman, who was in Quebec City with the Mariners last weekend for the national cham-pionships, also plans to return to the home field in time for the game against Cowichan this Friday.

In late October, the VIU team travelled to Kelowna for the pro-vincials beating out the UBC Okanagan Heat 3-0 in the semi-finals and the Capilano Blues 2-1. In a total of 14 games, McKay and the rest of his defence only con-ceded six goals in 14 games.

“These guys get pretty pumped. It’s pretty serious, it’s a big commitment — bigger than it is with Sooke. We train three days a week, runs on our off days. We’re travelling every other weekend throughout B.C. and now of course for the nationals,” he said.

While a lot of work, McKay — who has played soccer since he was five — said he is in the best shape of his career.

“My fitness is the best it’s ever been. I’ve learned a lot about soc-cer and about myself in the last three months.”

His Celtic compa-triots haven’t forgot-ten him, often sending McKay encouraging text messages. After the school season

ends, he plans to con-tinue training with the Mariners once a week while making the two- hour drive into town for div-1 games, which

he shrugged off.“There’s no place like

playing in Sooke.”The game on Friday

against Cowichan starts at 7:30 p.m. at The Log.

Lunness, PeterJuly 30, 1940 –

November 7, 2011 Eight days after being

diagnosed with brain tumours, Pete passed away peacefully at Hospice, RJH. He left us on his own terms: quickly, with no fuss, no doting, and no regrets.

Born in Bradford UK, he immigrated to Canada with his family in 1953, and joined the Navy in 1957, rather than return to England with his parents. After 25 years

in the Navy and twenty at Dockyard, he retired in 1998 to our retreat in East Sooke. He shared his love of nature, shing, and camping with his family. In retirement he and Terri enjoyed their many cruises on HAL, reaching 4-Star Mariner status.

. He was predeceased by his father, Sgt. Leslie Mitchell, 1942, his mother, Mary, and his step- father Oliver Lunness. He will be deeply missed by his children and step children: Peter and Shawn Lunness, Kim Campbell and Kevin McClellan, Suzanne Tessier (Tim Findlay), and his loving soul mate of 23 years, Terri Danbrook. He also leaves a sister, and cousins in the US and UK.

His waddling pal, Murdoch, has lost the pack leader who will likely assemble a new pack with Chance, Lady, Lass, Flint and Rommel - lots of dogs to take for walks.

No service by request. A family trip is planned to set his ashes a oat upon Lake Cowichan waters, where so many memories originated.

Midget — The Sooke Midget Rep played a Remembrance tourna-ment at the Big Stick in Cowichan this past weekend.

The first game vs. North Delta had a score-less first period, with Nick Dueck holding guard in net. Early in the second, North Delta had some luck, adding two more making it 3-0 for the visitors.

Sooke found their alarm clocks in the third period with Luke Pitrie starting off the offence and Brendan David assisting. Ryan Elder and Alfred Nelson held fast on defence and with three minutes to go in the third, Sooke scored three goals.

Tim Kirk potted two with assists from Lin-den White, Braeden Swaile, and Luke Pitrie. In an exciting finish, Luke Pitre scored the tying goal with assists from Tom Kirk and Brendan David. Game tied four all.

Second game vs. Lan-gley had Langley up 1-0 after one period. In the second, Langley scored two but Nick Pfiefer found the back of the net with assists from Braeden Swaile and Linden White, making it 3-1.

Goaltender Jacob Millward (AP player) denied Langley a pen-alty shot opportunity, but Sooke was unable to respond with Lang-ley scoring three goals in the third. Langley 6 Sooke 1.

The third game vs. Tri-Port had them lead-ing 2-0 after one period of play.

Midway through the second, Nick Pfiefer scored with assists from Tom Kirk and Brandon Cornbill, but

Tri Port came back with one of their own making in 3-1.

With one minute left in the second, Jared Pleasants found the net with the assist of Nick Pfiefer. The third period had Tri Port come up again with a goal, but not long after AP player Michael Turcotte pot-ted one for Sooke with a nice pass from Jordan Brooks (AP).

With a couple min-utes left, Nick Dueck left the net, but Sooke was unable to even things up. Tri Port 4, Sooke 3.

The last game of the tourney had Sooke playing Comox. Comox opened the scoring mid-way through the first, but was answered by Jared Pleasants unas-sisted shortly after, leaving the first period tied at one.

No score in the sec-ond thanks to the unre-lenting goal minding of Nick Dueck. Early in the third Tom Kirk passed to Luke Pitrie who found Jared Pleas-ants’ stick to send it net-ward for Sooke. Micro-seconds later, Jared Pleasants found the net again for his first hat trick of the year, Sooke 3, Comox 1.

AP goaltender Jacob

Millward took the net with three minutes left in the game and with a mere six seconds left on the clock, was able to shut down a penalty shot, keeping the score in Sooke’s favour.

Atom (girls) — Sooke’s first game at the Female Face-Off was a hard fought bat-tle with cross town rivals Peninsula.

Sooke came flying out of the gates jump-ing out to a three goal lead. A tenacious attack from Peninsula proved to be too much for the Sooke girls with the vis-itors eventually coming out on top.

Sooke’s second game was a back and forth battle with Nanaimo, as each time Sooke would take the lead Nanaimo would find a way to answer. It was mid-way through the third period when Sooke was able to net a couple of insurance goals that guaranteed them the win.

Saturday morning Sooke was at the arena long before dawn. The early start was not a problem for the Sooke girls as they came out of the gate kicking.

For Movember, manypeople grow a mus-tache to raise aware-ness for prostate can-cer. Allen Kurtz, ownerof West Coast Outdoor Adventure Rentals onthe other hand, decided to support the causea slightly different way by sailing across the Juan de Fuca Strait in a kayak.

Sounds daunting, but luckily the kayak was ofthe Hobie Cat variety — meaning it is outfittedwith a sail, traditional paddles as well as a foot-operated pedal flipper system that canpropel the small boat when there isn’t anywind.

Enlisting the com-pany of Craig Toker, the representative for Hobie Cat Canada, the two set out in two Hobies a couple of Sat-urdays ago at 8:15 a.m.

“It was an impromptu thing, an awarenessthing,” said Kurtz, who spoke to the SookeNews Mirror on his cellphone while on thewater in a kayak last week.

“I lost my dad to cancer — pancreatic cancer, but it’s cancer nonetheless.”

He said having been an athlete his whole life — wrestling in high school in his native New Zealand and then mountain biking in theU.K. for 20 years — peo-ple sometimes feel like they’re invincible. He

decided to test this on water.

Kurtz contacted the Canadian Coast Guard and Homeland Secu-rity on the other sidebefore leaving, as well as Al Kennedy fromReel Excitement Fish-ing to provide chaper-oning services in a sep-arate vessel in case ofan emergency.

The first part of the journey was a little slow as the pair foughtincoming flood tide cur-rents, but once passingWhiffin Spit and mak-ing their way towardsPossession Point it was smooth sailing.

“The wind was com-ing in at 12 to 15 knotswith our feet up,” said Kurtz.

Going into the open strait, the conditionschanged with the wind disappearing just as they were heading towards the busy ship-ping lane. A massive international container ship appeared radiat-ing out giant wavesthat luckily dissipated by the time it reachedthe kayaks.

“The (six-foot plus)wake going by from the cargo ship was kind ofneat,” he said.

Besides encounter-ing a pod of dolphins, the rest of trip was fairly uneventful. Sail-ing into the Port Ange-les airport at 1 p.m., they turned around and made it back into the Sooke Harbour in timefor dinner at 4:20 p.m. making it an eight-hour trip in total.

“I’d definitely do it again without a doubt.”

The Hobie Cats, along with other kayak mod-els, are available for rent at Kurtz’s shop at 6791West Coast Road. Until the end of the month,20 per cent of all rentals goes toward prostatecancer research.
