The Victory Are Victorious

by Andrew Sagittarius

Bremerton, WA - The Vancouver Victory live up to their namesake in their 2011-12 NORPAC season opening games against Bremerton's West Sound Warriors.

Game one on Friday night ended in a 5-3 final score after Vancouver put 59 shots on net.  Avik Bordak led the opening salvos with the newly purchased and renamed franchise's first ever goal just 8 seconds into the game.  By nights end Bordak also claimed the franchise's first ever hat trick plus an assist on Jordan Tuttle's first of two goals in the third period.  The Victory showed great resilience and penalty killing ability while withstanding a barrage of questionable penalties throughout the last period.

Game two showcased more Vancouver speed and scoring as the Victory emerged from the battle with an impressive 10-1 win.  Joe Bordak matched his brother's previous game's achievement by scoring an impressive three goals.  Equally impressive was the contribution made by the other Bordak brothers; Avik scoring two goals and three assists, and Elijah making four assists and a goal.  Jordan Pascoe and Kade King added a pair of goals each to the scoreboard's final tally.

"I'm very proud of our entire team," said Vancouver Victory head coach John Nogatch.  "Every player contributed on the ice and showed a commitment to our systems and strategies" 

The Victory play again next Friday in Eugene against the Generals.  Puck drop is at 7:35 pm at the Lane Events Center-Ice.

2011-12 VICTORY JERSEYS ARE HERE

Stanley Cup set for Vancouver showing on Aug. 17

Mountain View Ice Arena will host a public viewing

The public will have several opportunities on Aug. 17 to get a look at the Stanley Cup.

The iconic hockey trophy will be at Mountain View Ice Arena in Vancouver between 3:30 and 5 p.m. on that Wednesday as part of Vancouver resident Tom McVie’s 12 hours with the Cup.

McVie is a scout for the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins.

His 12 hours with the Cup runs from noon to midnight on Aug. 17.

“I live in Vancouver, and I want to make sure the people of Vancouver get to see it,” McVie said.

McVie’s time with the Stanley Cup will begin in Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland, where the Portland Winterhawks will host a special event between noon and 1:30 p.m.

From there, McVie plans to take the Cup to a friend’s carpet store in northeast Portland before arriving at Mountain View Ice Arena. McVie later plans to take the Cup to a Portland sports tavern where he and many of his Portland Buckaroos teammates congregated in the 1960s. He will spend the last few hours of his day with the Cup with family.

Bob Knoerl, general manager at Mountain View Ice Arena, is thrilled that McVie chose to bring the cup to his rink for 90 minutes.

“I’m at a loss for words, and that doesn’t happen often,” Knoerl said. “Tom has really, really been nice to us and supportive of the arena.”

Arlene McVie, Tom’s wife, coached skating at Mountain View Arena. She died from cancer in 2003.

“I know Arlene is going crazy in heaven, she’s so happy for Tom,” Knoerl said.

Knoerl said he is finalizing details for the Cup’s visit. He said he probably will ask people who want to have their photo taken with the Cup to make a donation to support youth hockey programs at the rink.

A Vancouver resident for two decades, the 76-year-old McVie has worked for the Bruins for 17 seasons, the last 11 as a scout. He has spent 55 years in professional hockey as a player, coach and scout. This is his first Stanley Cup championship.

The Stanley Cup dates to 1893, and has been awarded to the National Hockey League champion since 1926. The 1994 New York Rangers started a tradition of giving each player and staff member the opportunity to spend a day with the Cup.

Despite working in a variety of jobs and cities, McVie has kept a home in the Vancouver-Portland area since he played for the Portland Buckaroos in the old Western Hockey League between 1961 and 1966.
