Defenceman Carl Cibart, silver locks flowing a la Guy Lafleur, was too much for Tim Hortons to handle as he led his Kilrich team to a 6-3 win over the coffee crew in Whitehorse Oldtimers hockey action Sunday at Takhini Arena. A constantly-pinching Cibart scored thrice to pace the builder boys. Ben Kielb added two and Anthony Grottoli one. Tims' powerplay was lethal on Sunday, going 2-3, but it wasn't enough as Mark Bowen, Dave Wipf and Bernie Adilman scored in defeat.
