First Hockey Team The team began its season in early November in preparation for the Oakville Secondary School ' s Invitational Hockey Tournament. With seven rookies, the team worked very hard on skating and shooting. We sought to develop a strategy of being able to break out of our own end and hem the opposition in through an effective system of fore -checking. In the tournament we met teams which were more experienced, but managed to win the Consolation round, having been eliminated from the A series by the Sir Wilfred Laurier H .3 . of Hamilton. Prior to the Christmas break we played Lakefield at Peterborough. Here we were outskated 4-0. However, the team gathered valuable experience and went on vacation in high spirits. Early in January we beat St. George ' s 5-1 then moved on to U.C.C. To our great surprise we scored first with a blast from Thorn quite early in the period. U .C .C . scored just at the end and we went in to the second period with 1 goal apiece. The second period proved scoreless and our hopes were high. At the twelve minute mark in the third, U.C.C. scored and the game ended 2-1 in their favour. The second league game at St. Andrew ' s was a lucky break for us as we scored the winning goal with seconds left to play. The score was 4-3 in our favour. To prove that the close 2-1 decision was a fluke, U.C.C. deflated our spirits when they won 9-0 at our next encounter. At our lowest point in the season we lost the annual game with the Old Boys by a score of 5-7 and, days later, we suffered our worst defeat, losing to T.C.S. with an 11-1 score.
