Irbe chases long-distance dream
Arturs Irbe will wear the San Jose Sharks’ logo across his chest this season, but part of his heart will be elsewhere during the Winter Olympics. The Latvian-born goalie spent most of his summer helping his national team prepare for a chance at competing in the Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway. Should Latvia advance from a five-team qualifying tournament Aug. 28 to Sept. 5, Irbe will have fulfilled his dream. “It has always been a dream of mine to play on a team of my countrymen,” Irbe said. The breakup of the Soviet Union has allowed Latvia to ice its own national team and attempt to compete in the Olympics for the first time. Latvia, Poland, Japan, England and Slovakia are competing in a tournament in Sheffield, England to determine the team to…
Tiltgen arrives as Cougars’ offensive kingpin
The Victoria Cougars’ patience was rewarded when Dean Tiltgen finally agreed to join the Western League team. Victoria acquired the 19-year-old center from the Red Deer Rebels May 5. Tiltgen, however, spent most of the summer pondering whether he wanted to return to major junior hockey. Victoria will be Tiltgen’s third WHL team in four seasons. The Ponoka, Alta., product spent two years with the Tri-City Americans before being traded to Red Deer prior to last season. Tiltgen scored 50 goals and 111 points in 72 regular-season games for Red Deer. He was miffed over being dealt a second time despite a stellar 1992-93 season. That led to his hesitation in joining the Cougars. “He’ll be the key to our offense,” said Cougars’ owner and general manager Rick Brodsky. Brodsky acquired Tiltgen and right winger…
Option-year situation source for inspiration
Players choosing to play through the option year of their contracts normally are inspired, since a good season can translate into greater income. If there is not a slew of players signed during training camp, then the Washington Capitals should be chock full of inspiration. The contract Kelly Miller signed as a free agent under the restrictive NHL system hasn’t dampened the players’ enthusiasm to play out their options. The Capitals had nine players who were in that position–defensemen Kevin Hatcher, Sylvain Cote, Enrico Ciccone, John Slaney and forwards Mike Ridley, Dimitri Khristich, Pat Elynuik, Todd Krygier and Alan May. “We have no agreements, no disagreements and no arbitration,” said general manager David Poile. “It’s the normal course of business. There are a lot of guys around the league entering their option years.” A…
