SJUSJOEN, Norway -- Canadas Brian McKeever and guide Erik Carleton teamed up to win their first IPC World Cup race together in a 10-kilometre classic-ski race Sunday. . McKeever, from Canmore, Alta., and Calgarys Carleton won three silver medals in as many races at the event, and won gold after finishing in 27 minutes 38.2 seconds in the mens visually impaired race. "We have been doing a lot of skate racing so it was nice to change the technique and get this one," said the 32-year-old McKeever. "I think we still have a little advantage over some of the guys in classic racing. The key to winning is to exploit your strengths and others weaknesses and we did that today." The track to the podium was anything but easy for the Canadian duo. Battling fatigue from a long period of racing in Europe and blowing conditions, McKeever relied heavily on the 33-year-old Carleton to find the quickest line to the finish. "Erik pulled really hard at the front in some pretty strong head winds," said McKeever. "He worked hard crossing between tracks to find the fastest line and did an awesome job for me today." The Canadians were sandwiched on the podium by two Russian teams. Nikolay Polukhin and Andrey Tokarev skied to the silver medal at 28:50.6, while Stanislav Chokhlaev and Maksim Pirogov were third with a time of 29:39.9. McKeever has become of the most accomplished para-nordic skiers in the world since being diagnosed with Stargaards disease in 1998. McKeever, along with his long-time guide and brother Robin, has won 10 medals including seven gold in his three trips to the Paralympics. Elsewhere, Colette Bourgonje of Saskatoon finished seventh in the womens five-kilometre sit-ski race. Mark Arendz of Springton, P.E.I., who won gold, silver and bronze medals in biathlon races at the event, finished 11th in the mens 10-kilometre standing class.

JOHNS, N.L. -- They didnt win a championship, but Paul Postma thinks the St. Johns IceCaps have a lot to celebrate after their first year in the American Hockey League. The IceCaps were swept out of the Eastern Conference final Tuesday by the Norfolk Admirals. Postma, an all-star defenceman, said the result was still a good one for the leagues newest team. "We had a pretty good year," he said Wednesday. "Obviously, we had more expectations going into the playoffs to go a little further. Its not how you want to go out, like I said, I think we could have played a little better." Questions had been raised about how a mix of players from the now-defunct Manitoba Moose, free agents and Winnipeg Jets prospects would play together. But it didnt take long for those questions to be answered, and Postma said he thinks the team chemistry that developed was something special to be a part of. "This year was just one of those years when the guys really gelled together, there was a lot of chemistry," he said. "We didnt really have any groups, little clicky groups or anything, we had a lot of fun together. We just worked hard and bought into systems well." St. Johns beat Syracuse in the opening round 3-1, then survived seven games against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton before falling to Norfolk. IceCaps rookie head coach Keith McCambridge, who went to the Calder Cup final with the Moose, said he knows the pain of losing after a deep playoff run. ";You pour your heart and soul into every minute of the day thinking about how to make your team better," said McCambridge.

I know the make-up of myself. When I wake up tomorrow morning its going to be hard to swallow." McCambridge said a few of the pieces the team needed to win with began crumbling near the end of the season, mostly due to injuries. "We definitely felt this was an opportunity we missed to win a Calder Cup here," he said. "Theres a lot of things that have to fall in place to win a championship, and a lot of those pieces started to crumble away when we started losing some of those pieces of the puzzle." Still, there is optimism from players and management following the first season in St. Johns. The IceCaps sold out every game at Mile One Centre, prompting praise from the team for the fan support. "To look around and see a sold-out building on a Tuesday night in November is outstanding," said McCambridge. "I played a long time professionally, and a long time in the American League, and to see these sold-out crowds and the excitement and support we got this season really is the reason why this team was put in Newfoundland and Labrador." For his part, Postma said hes excited to see what will happen in St. Johns. "Im looking forward to good things coming out of this city for hockey." ' ' '
