Coach weighs in on past, present, futureLewis gears up for this season’s dogfightGLEN GIBBSPeak Sports

Powell River Kings posted some impressive defensive numbers last year to win their third consecutive Coastal Conference title, but came up short in their bid to win the Fred Page Cup against Vernon Vipers of the Interior Conference.

Junior A is no different than other levels of hockey where players come and go with the constant being coaches, program and recruiting.

Fortunately, Kings are strong in those three areas and it looks as though they will be very competitive this year.

Players like Michael Garteig, Matt Garbowsky, Chad Niddery, Justin Dasilva and Jason Yee have moved on but new names like Evan Richards, Matt Scarth, James Neil, Jordan Paddock and Jamie

Phillips are very capable replacements.Experienced fans and coaches will

caution, though, that there are 60 games to be played in a league that has a reputation for being one of the most competitive in Canada.

Kent Lewis, general manager and head coach, is well aware of this league’s challenges and after the last three years takes nothing for granted. During an exhibition tournament in Trail he spoke about the Kings’ past, present and future.

Q: Are you happy, disappointed or both with the last three years of Kings’ hockey?

KL: Both. You look at it as being a bridesmaid, you can’t get it done. I take that negative as an individual but at the same time you know that you’re doing the best that you can. I look back and I wouldn’t really change anything, but at the end of the day it’s been really frustrating. On the other side we’ve been to the finals against one of the best teams

in the country three times and gotten a lot of kids scholarships in the process.

Q: The success and profile of the team was extremely high last year but what do you see as critical to improvement.

KL: You realize the importance of leadership in the room and there’s no such thing as over leading, but there is a handoff of leadership and it’s got to be trusted. I think this year our older guys will know what we expect out of them. Your alpha males, your letter guys—it truly is their room and obviously I’m

the overseer. I think our guys learned a lot about leadership last year.

Q: What do you take from the last three years to help you build a winner this year?

KL: First of all, I learn where I can be better. You have to because no matter if you win or lose you have to find a way to be better. You can’t over emphasize having enough depth. I think the maturity factor is crucial and I think for us to know what we want to do when we know the challenges...we’ve got a lot of work to do.

As for last year, sometimes you’ve to

be good to be lucky and lucky to be good. There was a goal in last year’s game three that went off Dasilva’s skate, over the back of Maguire and down his rear end and into the net. I looked to the heavens and said ‘I’ve never done drugs, I’ve been a good liver and I’ve always tried to take the high road.’ But, you know what? It’s all a test, and this year is going to be a great one for us.

Q: Talk about some of the roster moves you made over the summer to prepare for that test.

KL: We knew last year we were going to be faced with a lot of 91s and some tough decisions. We thought we had a really good shot last year and, although there were options in front of us at the deadline, we wanted to stick

with the kids that got us there. They deserved that, but we knew we needed to make some changes in the off-season because, just like the NHL’s salary cap, you make decisions based on numbers. We acquired Paddock for [Klay] Kachur, who was a fabulous kid but we got him back to his home province [Saskatchewan], and Paddock will be a top four guy for two

years. With Evan Richardson we’re getting a player for two years who is a very talented 17-year-old.

Q: Speaking of talent, we were treated to some great goaltending last year but this year could be even better.

KL: We have a lot of confidence in Sean [Maguire], but we felt that we wanted to bring a guy [Phillips] in so they could have a battle. It’s a great situation for two 18-year-olds and for us as well to have two solid options in net.

Q: Your defence was stellar last year and this year is looking strong too.

KL: [Craig] Dalrymple, [Jon] Jutzi and [Chris] Williams are all 20 and they are going to carry a heavy load early. We have four new guys coming

in and we’re going to rely on them early, but they are three solid guys and good defencemen too.

Q: Scoring depth became a concern last year and you worked hard to address that over the summer.

KL: I think our top two lines are capable of four goals a game so if we can hold the opposition to four goals we should be successful.

Nothing changes really, it’s not like we’re going to be wide open this year, but the key is to have the ability to outscore your opponent. I think we’ll have that ability with four lines this year.

Q: You talked about the importance of leadership and made the early appointment of the captaincy to Williams.

KL: You need someone who is willing to be at the front of the group going into every situation. I knew what I wanted to do but I also talked to the older kids and there was a pretty strong consensus. I think that’s going to be one of the strong aspects of our club this year.

Q: There have been a number of changes announced by the BC Hockey League. Which of these jumps out the most for you?

KL: I didn’t agree with the majority of them at all. A club always had the ability to go to 21 men if it wanted to. Just four teams making the playoffs is a bit much. With regard to the later start [September 23] for a developmental league, I can’t tell you how many college coaches I’ve talked to that can’t come out to watch our kids. So we have to really look at that. Are we a developmental league or a minor pro league?

I think there will be a lot of things addressed after this year and hopefully they will get a broader band of people together to do that. The BCHL is getting more challengers and there are other leagues in North America that are nipping at our heels, or maybe some surpassing us, so we’ve got more work to do. If we want to fly the flag that we’re the best league then we have to practise what we preach. We realize you have to be fiscally responsible and ice the best product, but you’ve got to develop kids.

Q: With your recent track record you must feel comfortable making top four.

KL: Well, yeah. But again we also realize that in our conference everyone is sick and tired of seeing us at the top and they are going to do everything they can to stop that. Complacency is not going to factor in because that’s focusing on what we’ve done in the past and this is a new team. We’re in a dogfight with everybody else and we can’t think that ‘oh well, we won the last three and this is going to be a lock’—that’s garbage. This is going to be a dogfight.

Q: Teams will be gunning for you once again, so how do you prepare your team for those challenges?

KL: At the end of the day, I’m only worried about one club. Being tough mentally and playing the game properly is the most important thing. Some guys want to revert back to the 70s, and we’ve seen that over the last few years in our league, but we’ve got to be mentally tougher and you’ve got to be smarter.

Q: Talk about the benefits that come with a successful program such as the Kings.

KL: It’s recognition for everybody, from the board of directors to society members to our faithful six to seven hundred fans, and for the kids as well. College commitments allow us to bring in more quality kids with them actually seeking us out. We have to work harder in getting the right kids because we don’t work on a revolving door and we don’t believe in trading.

Q: Kings’ success had been remarkable of late but that hasn’t really translated into a sold-out building. What do you say to hockey fans in Powell River?

KL: Our loyal base is fantastic but the reality is we need a hundred more people per game. Instead of watching it on the tube, come to the live game. I don’t want to hear someone say they’re a diehard hockey fan but can’t drive five minutes to go to a live game. We’re blessed to have one of the best corps of fans in the league, but we need other people to invest a little bit of time and a little bit of money to help us because it’s always a battle. If they saw the hours the volunteers put in, five or 10 games a year is nothing compared to what some people are doing to keep us here. It’s a great thing for the community, a great thing for kids to see and it comes with a big economic benefit to our city.

As for last year, sometimes you’ve to be good to be lucky and lucky to be good.KENT LEWISpowell river kings head coach and general manager

Masked man among boysGoalie crease open for Maguire to commandJOSH STATHAMPeak Contributor

It’s not just physique that makes sopho-more puck-stopper Sean Maguire ahead of his years, but it is what’s turning heads among college and pro scouts. Think Michelangelo’s statue of David, then clothe him in goalie pads.

His physical gifts are displayed with Grant Fuhr-esque diving glove saves or last-ditch goal-line stops, not that he often has to make them. He’s a big goalie and his style is technically sound, but he does have athleti-cism in spades for emergency game-saving situations.

He plays far beyond his years, and when sporting the shirt and tie of a career man from behind the counter of your local grocer, he looks it too. Maguire spent every penny of his summer earnings attending goaltend-ing camps in Victoria and Vancouver.

“That’s what I worked for. All my money went to that.”

Those who know him understand he takes the game very seriously, even keeping his

own mental statistics of his performance in practice.

“My goal this year is to start and get a scholarship,” Maguire said, but when asked to elaborate he includes making Team Canada West for the World Junior ‘A’ Challenge as another goal. He admits to even loftier aspirations: “Get drafted. Win a national championship.”

It’s that level of confidence, backed up by dedication and hard work, that illustrates the level of maturity with which Maguire prepares and plays. Teamed with a good portion of innate talent, it is sure to carry Maguire to bigger and better things.

Maguire spent his rookie season backing up Michael Garteig. When the 20-year-old was traded to Penticton the door opened for Maguire to take more control of the crease. Expectation is high but the blossoming rela-tionship with Kings’ goaltending coach Jeff Battah allows him to handle the pressures of playing in his hometown.

“Jeff’s really calm. He tells you everything straight up. You don’t have to guess. I feel like I want to impress him and the rest of our coaches as well.”

A gifted athlete, Maguire has the puck

skills to take a shift or two on one of the Kings’ top lines but shifted to goalie while in atom division. His desire to patrol the blue paint was instilled at an even younger age.

“When I was eight, maybe seven, my mom used to toss balls to me in the living room,” he says of his humble beginnings between the pipes. “I guess it’s always been in me to stop pucks.

“I got my first set of pads off eBay; a pair of Martin Brodeur Eatons. They were way too big for me. I couldn’t move at all.”

Like his marble statue parallel, Maguire has been drawing crowds of onlookers hop-ing to validate the greatness they’ve heard about. He is doing so with the same level of awe the biblical hero’s likeness invokes. It appears, like David, Maguire is ready to con-quer giants.

Defence on guardReturning bluelines form formidable barrierJOSH STATHAMPeak Contributor

Nick Lidstrom. Jack Johnson. Paul Martin.

These are the given answers of Powell River Kings’ three returning defencemen Craig Dalrymple, Chris Williams and Jon Jutzi (with some help from forward Carter Shinkaruk), to the question: What NHL defenceman are you most like?

The point of this exercise? To put in perspective the returning talent level the Kings have on the back end. If you’re a hockey fan then you know the degree of skill those three National Hockey League blueliners exhibit, and if you’re a Kings’ fan, you’re probably salivating at the prospect of having the BCHL (BC Hockey League) equivalent of those three leading your defence corps.

As it is, despite their own modest self evaluation, any of these three could be considered a top defenceman on most any other team in the league. Compounding

their potential greatness is the experience gained in last season’s playoff run and the indelible mark it has left on their collective psyche.

“When friends ask ‘How’d you do [last season]?’ I just say we lost in the final,” Dalrymple griped with a forlorn glare. “It doesn’t tell who we were. It wasn’t how it was supposed to happen.”

Dalrymple, at six feet five inches, is the biggest blueliner in the Kings’ corral and the linchpin of their powerplay with his trademark slap-shot. It’s a skill he developed, from the start of minor hockey, by shooting four to 500 pucks each day into homemade nets in his parents’ backyard in Kipling, Ontario.

“I started with wristers, then dad started passing to me and I developed a quicker release.”

Dalrymple committed to Ohio State University last season but felt another year with the Kings would better prepare him for the college game. Jutzi also committed to a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division One program last season but he too has returned for another chance at Junior A’s highest trophy.

Jutzi is a big reason why it has

been Powell River against Vernon in the finals three straight seasons. After falling behind three games to one in the second round best-of-seven series against Victoria, Jutzi elevated his game to a new level. He scored the overtime winner in an elimination game five. Then he followed that up in game six with two consecutive powerplay markers en route to a come-from-behind series win.

Jutzi has spent the off-season adding muscle to an already matured frame. He is Mr. Everything on the back end, doing all things in all zones with a level of poise and patience not often seen in junior hockey.

Williams, the American import from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, is perhaps the most fluid skater on the team. His abilities to skate the puck out of trouble and carry the zone are essential to the Kings’ transition game. His end-to-end rushes provided some of the most entertaining moments of last season, whether or not he scored.

Williams, who has been playing junior hockey in Canada since the age of 16, was named captain at the beginning of training camp.

He plays the game with a great

level of intensity and is well spoken, a good combination for a team leader.

His first love may be hockey but he’s also a big fan of his hometown Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League and Phillies of Major League Baseball, both of which are expected to vie for championships in their respective sports.

“They need their starting pitching to go deep into games,” Williams said of his Phillies’ chances this

October.In baseball it’s said pitching wins

championships. In hockey the same is said for defence. It’s an appropriate analogy for the Kings and their stable of steady returning and up-and-coming defencemen.

“It’s a team philosophy, ‘D’ first. It’s our system; keep a high guy, be responsible defensively, pickup your man, backcheck. We’re pretty mobile and strong in net again,” Williams said.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS: Chris Williams [from right], Jon Jutzi and Craig Dalrymple return to the blue line this season for Powell River Kings.
