Jim Pllla was forced to decline the appointment Pilla said his work com mlttmrnts would not allow him to spend the time with the team as coach At the moment the team has three coaching hopefuls on the horizon but thats all they are hopefuls Three big names that will be missing from this jear s roster are Ted Sarklssian Dill fowler and Rod Gagnon Fowler and Gagnon have apprently re retired ¬ tired

Delbuccla Among the new goalies will be a couple from Al Alberta ¬ berta The Roos exp ct about 40 prospects at their camp 15 20 of whom will be new faces on the scene Tie or sL juniors are expected from across the Rockies Also among the new faces on the team Is Jens Ingstrup new general manager V illlams Lake Stampedors seem to b on solid footing at the moment Player coach Ron Darkwell Is reluctant to sa too much about the team s situation but he does sound extremely optimistic Darkwell recently hit the Samps with a demand foi a two jear contract to coach the team and was promptlj granted it He took oer the team from Dick Cusson in mid season last year His takeoer caused some dissatis dissatisfaction ¬ faction on the team last jear and It Is rumored that there are still grumblings among tie plajers Darkwell is not worried however John Margetts left the Stamps to plaj for the Quesnel Kangaroos last jear at the time of the coaching change and Dark well ex expects ¬ pects him back for sure this jear nother addition to this jear s lineup will be Dob Howse a big defenceman who played with the anderhoof Dears last season Darkwell said of Howse If he keeps his nose clean hell be atound He wants to play hockej Birkwell said that he reallj wasn t missing anjbody in particular from last jears lineup He said most of the team is back He said he hopes some of the bigger forwards will start scoring a few more goals than they were last jear citing that as their big problem last season He said he Is expecting bigger things from Gary Duthie in particular There are going to be some changes made he said but its too earlj to release anything jet He said that hes bringing in some new plajers to work on tliat weakness in the scoring department He described them as big buys good scorers Darkwell Is rumored to have three or four ex pros lined up but no details are available Drlan Purdy and Jack Legget last j ears goaltenders miy also find themselves fighting for their job Darkwellhas brought In a couple of new goalies to try out One lias one jear of pro experience and the other Is at a pro camp Again there are no details available Darkwell expects no trouble In finding jobs for his new prospects He said that the club officials restricted the tj pe of hockej plajers they were after He said thej were onlj Interested In those with a trade or college education Darkwell is expecting In the neighbor neighborhood ¬ hood of -10 plajers at training camp In Including ¬ cluding last jears plajers He described the camp as pretty well select and closed especially to local plaj ers though a couple of junior plajers from the Laketown are being considered Darkwell Is leaving soon for a two week tour of the pio camps In the Western Hockey League Thus so far the Stamps seem to be a strong well organized team going into the training camp at the end of this month or the first of October Vanderhoof Dears seem to be the CHL s rmstery club The team is somewhat up in the air at the moment according to sponsor Frank Reid Up to last week we dldn t even know whether we were going to Ice a team at all this jear so were a little late getting staited said
