Knights of Columbus place second in weekend tournament
It all came down to one final game between Fort St. John and Quensel, which unfortunately resulted in a 6-4 loss for Fort St. John. Despite some serious pressure by the Flyers, the team found themselves down 3-0, 15 seconds into the second period. The Flyers managed to score two following the second period opening goal, only to have the two goal lead restored before the conclusion of the second frame. A third period power play got the Flyers to within a single goal, as Robinson scored off a one-timer point shot. Quensel answered right back, then added an empty netter with 16 seconds remaining for the 6-4 final, wrapping up the tournament with a second place finish.The next time the Knights of Columbus Flyers will take to the ice will be the All Peace playoffs against High Prairie. Dates and time are TBA. The Knights of Columbus Flyers entered the tournament with a disadvantage, as their roster continued to be plagued with injury and illness, resulting in the team being down to a single original defenceman and one affiliated blue-liner, forcing the team to move some forwards to defence.The Flyers kicked off the weekend tournament with a 6-2 win over Grande Prairie. The team took a quick 2-0 lead with goals coming off the sticks of Breunig and Robinson. However, the two goal lead didn’t last long, as Grande Prairie scored, cutting the lead in half. However, that lead was restored thanks to Elias Thompson, who scored to conclude the first with the Flyers leading 3-1.The Flyers added three more in the last two periods, compared to a lone goal by Grande Prairie, securing the opening game victory, where Seth Hanna earned the win in net and Elias Thompson took down game MVP honours.- Advertisement -Game two against Prince George was about as lop sided as a hockey game can be, as the Knights of Columbus emerged victorious with an 11-1 win. Elias Thompson scored a hat trick in the game, while Legace and Eklund each scored a pair. Eklund earned game MVP and Lane Delfs got the win in net.Game three against Fairview resulted in the Flyers’ first loss of the tournament, losing a close 5-4 game. With the game knotted at 2-2 following the first, a lone second period goal by Fairview proved to be the deciding point, as both teams scored in the third. Despite the 5-4 loss, Bateman received game MVP.After claiming first place in the round robin, the Flyers progressed to the tournament semi-finals Sunday morning, squaring off against host Dawson Creek. The semis produced an extremely close game, which resulted in a 4-3 victory for Fort St. John. Jarod Lang took home game MVP, while Seth Hanna recorded his second win of the weekend between the pipes.Advertisement

0Shares0000South Africa’s Tiyani Mabunda tackles Nigeria’s Alexander Iwobi during the African Cup of Nations qualifierJOHANNESBURG, South Africa, June 21 – Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr is banking on Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi for goals when they face debutants Burundi on Saturday in the Africa Cup of Nations Group B opener in Egypt. “Although only 23, Alex is an experienced international and I want to see him scoring more regularly for the national team,” said German Rohr. “He, Odion (Ighalo) and Ahmed (Musa) can cause a lot of damage to opposition defences if they click at this Cup of Nations.”Rohr has cause for concern as Nigeria failed to score in two warm-up matches against fellow qualifiers, drawing 0-0 at home to Zimbabwe and losing 1-0 to Senegal in Egypt.But a favourable draw — Guinea and Madagascar complete Group B — should ensure Nigeria top the standings and book a last-16 place.Here, AFP previews the three Saturday matches with Guinea playing Madagascar in the other Group B fixture and the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda squaring off in Group A.Nigeria v BurundiNigeria are the fourth highest ranked team in Egypt and Burundi the lowest with 89 places separating them in the world rankings.But Rohr became upset the second a reporter described this match in the coastal city of Alexandria as one the three-time champions should win comfortably.“The national football association president (Amaju Pinnick) says we must win this tournament, but we have a very young side.”However, the coach can call on three of the 2013 Africa Cup-winning squad, captain John Obi Mikel, Kenneth Omeruo and Musa, to provide experience.Ranked among the no-hopers, Burundi have impressed in preparatory matches against former champions, holding Algeria and losing in stoppage time to Tunisia.Guinea v MadagascarBoth experienced Cup of Nations campaigners Guinea and newcomers Madagascar will aim to brush aside poor warm-up form and launch their campaign with maximum points in Alexandria.Guinea lost to the Gambia, Benin and Egypt while Madagascar drew with Luxembourg after conceding two stoppage-time goals before failing against Kenya and Mauritania.The Guineans hope Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita can play after injuring a thigh in the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.Keita and his team-mates can draw comfort from having Belgian Paul Put as their coach — he took outsiders Burkina Faso to the 2013 final before losing narrowly against Nigeria.Madagascar coach Nicolas Dupuis — one of seven from France at the tournament — has worked wonders to get the Indian Ocean island state to the finals, but further progress is unlikely.DR Congo v UgandaDemocratic Republic of Congo captain and Celtic midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu has raised the bar considerably by saying his country can win the competition.“Provided we can fix a few things, there is no reason why this team cannot go all the way,” he said ahead of a Cairo clash with Uganda.“We reached the semi-finals and the quarter-finals in the last two editions and I believe the team is better now under our great coach Florent (Ibenge).”With Mohamed Salah-inspired hosts Egypt expected to win Group A, a tight contest is set to unfold between DR Congo, Uganda and Zimbabwe for second place, and a guaranteed last-16 slot.Uganda coach Sebastien Desabre is less boastful than Mulumbu, saying: “We aim to achieve decent results, especially in our first match against the Congolese.”0Shares0000(Visited 2 times, 1 visits today)

LANCASTER – The Antelope Valley Hospital emergency room would be expanded and the intensive care unit nearly doubled in size as part of a master facilities plan under consideration. The hospital would increase the size of the emergency room by nearly 9,000 square feet and add 12 to 14 beds to the 20-bed ICU under the first phase of the plan. “This is phase one of the master plan for developing the campus to deal with identifying current and future space needs through year 2020,” Chief Operating Officer Edward Mirzabegian said. “We want to make sure to align the needs and projections with the business plan and also develop an effective strategy for future growth in the community.” The total cost of the first phase is about $53 million, but Mirzabegian said that figure is very preliminary. Funding the projects would depend on how much money the 379-bed hospital gets from its operations. The plan also calls for adding a second cardiac catheterization laboratory along with a recovery area and patient holding room, and relocating MRI and CAT scan equipment from a satellite building into the hospital, Mirzabegian said. The plan also includes adding more parking spaces, refiguring the entrance to the hospital and adding a large canopy that would provide cover for patients entering and leaving the hospital, and straightening the access from Avenue J to the emergency room, Mirzabegian said.

No action was taken. “It was not up for approval. It was letting the board know what we are working on,” Mirzabegian said. The ICU would expand into space freed up by the move of women’s services into the hospital’s skilled nursing facility, which is being converted into a Women and Infants Center at a cost of $30 million. The center is scheduled to open in March. Enlarging the emergency room will help with patient flow and allow for separating patients by the seriousness of their condition, Mirzabegian said.
