determining importance
Good readers recognize that not all details or events are created equal. Some information takes precedence over other information. In this challenge, you will find some excerpts from the article. Your job is to rate the importance of the events listed at the bottom of the page. You must provide a sentence to justify your position on each. If you think it is highly important, explain why. Likewise, if you feel the event or detail is not important, you must explain your opinion.
Ryshak, who lives in Vernon, was at the Vernon Civic Centre Sunday after arriving early to watch the Vernon Peewee Vipers play their final game of the season against the KC Lancers from Edmonton for third and fourth place.
There was a delay though. The Clippers were in double overtime, tied 2-2 with their Prince George opponents. The Clippers won a draw in their own zone with less than 15 seconds still showing on the clock in three-on-three overtime.
"A Clipper forward grabs the puck and they are away 2-on-1," Ryshak said, from his home in Vernon. "[They] pass across the slot, a one-timer [on the] short side hits the back of the net."
The Clippers had scored the winner.
According to spectators, a timekeeper forgot to start the clock at the face-off.
"The Cougars disputed the goal and time clock, as it showed 7.5 seconds remaining," Ryshak said. "The referees met and reviewed the goal and time remaining only to deem the goal good.
"It was a celebration for the Clippers. Prince George remained seated on the bench."
