Martin Kenney and Tony Stafford provided very capable and cool goaltending for the team throughout the season. Mention must be made of the six exhibition games played during the season; these were played on Monday evenings, usually against OakvUle Minor Bantam teams. Our last two games were losses to an outstanding team from Fergus Elora. The last game was played (thanks to Mr. Giffin) in Maple Leaf Gardens and proved most exciting as we were edged 4-3 by the Fergus team. In closing, I would like to say how much I enjoyed coaching the team this year. You proved eager, atten- tive, and always gave your best. You played some very fine hockey. Good luck in the future!

Senior League The senior league, which is made up of all the hockey team rejects, had an extremely successful season this year. The main objective of the league is simply to have fun, and in this it excelled. Apart from one broken nose, the odd stitch here and there, and multiple bruises, the squad was injury -free. Mr. Smith was responsible for the success of the league. From start to finish he kept its members constantly ' digging ' and his effort paid off, as our four game record of three wins and one tie shows. ippp » ' ii. .

Our first two games after returning from the holidays indicated that the boys were still filled with either turkey, or stuffing, or perhaps both! We gave the puck away countless times and skated somnolently, re- sulting in losses to Crescent (6-5) and Ridley (3-2). From this point on in the schedule, however, the team really lived up to its promise. In the remaining nine games we won eight and tied one, outscoring the combined oppo- sition 74-14. Captain Ron Withey played outstand- ing hockey both offensively and de- fensively. It was most exciting to see him take off on one of his patent- ed Bobby Orr type rushes.

L Jr. School 2nd Hockey Second Team had an excellent sea- son. All members worked hard and pulled together as a team to strive for as many wins as were possible against our often, exceedingly strong opposition. Statistically, out of our ten league games we managed three wins and one tie. Our wins were over the team from St. George ' s once and the team from Hillfield twice. Our tie was with UCC. Al- though we were beaten soundly by the teams from Ridley and Crescent, they had strong teams which played very well and the excellent efforts of our team were not powerful enough to overcome this situation. FRONT ROW: Manbert, Menzies II, Wilson II, Gallagher, Stone, Day, Piatt II, Beckett. BACK ROW: Mr. O ' Leary, Stacey, Bloemen 11, Bateman, Suchanek II, Burchmore I. Our offensive lines all played very well with the intent of maintaining a high scoring record while realizing their checking responsibilities. Our strongest and highest scoring line was a combination of Stacey (our captain), Burchmore I, and Bloeman 11 (one of our assistant captains). Another hard working line was Menzies II, Gallagher, and Day. We also had a strong line from Grade Seven com- posed of Wilson II, Beckett, and Piatt II. Two boys who joined the team at the beginning of this term- Stafford I and Webb II - have aided the team offensively as substitutes for our regular forwards. Backing up our offense, we had five defensemen who alternated to fulfill this vital role. They were Bateman (another assistant captain), McLaugh- lin, Manbert, Suchanek II, and Suchanek III. They gave good sup- port to the goaltenders and also as- sisted on many of our goals by setting up our forwards. Our goaltending duties were shared by Piatt I and Stone. They turned in many strong performances in the nets which often held our team in contention during close games. Between the games the boys used the afternoons to develop their hockey skills by hard work and training in the arena. During the games the boys always attempted to play hard and to maintain a good standard of sportsmanlike behavior and com- petition.
