McBride II, Keates II and Captain Mark Wilson, with numerous sub- situtions. This was our power line, as can be seen from the statistics below. The orange line of Day, Hickling and Stevenson (the latter being the most im- proved player on the team) was our only consistent factor, and although all three skated well and were very determined, their lack of size and strength hurt them against larger and more physical teams. The blue line was a varied mix of Stafford, Beckett I, Yustin II, Hebert II, and Hamilton II. The greatest ac- complishment of any of these fine lads was achieved by Dan Hebert, who scored four goals and gave us a 7-6 victory at Crescent, after we had been down 3 - 6 in the third period! Defensively, stalwart John Peart performed very well and gave us needed experience and puck control. Wright II, Coxon, Ap- pleby, Webb II and Harmer also patrolled the blue line, oc- casionally tripping over it, but nonetheless playing very com- petently. Coxon and Webb in par- ticular made considerable progress and Wright was an ef- fective checker and stick- handler. Toles I and Smith II performed in the nets, with Smith more often than not being the starter, although Toles played for the Lower School on numerous oc- casions when they were faced with bigger and considerably older opponents. Neither goalie fell into the Ken Dryden class but both gave their best at all times. My thanks to you all for the great deal of hard work that you put forth this season, this will even- tually stand you in good stead. A special word of thanks goes to Rob Cartotto, who so con- scientiously and effectively per- formed his duties as manager; his assistance was greatly ap- preciated.

Thirds FRONT ROW; Hickling, McBride II, Heberl II, Wilson II. Peart II, Stevenson, Toles I. CENTRE ROW: Hamilton II, Harmer, Day, Beckett I, Webb II. Coxon, Wright II. BACK ROW: Mr. Landry, Stafford, Keates II, Cartotto. Three plagues, in the form of flu, the Northern Campus, and lack of depth contributed to this year ' s mediocre 5-7-3 record. Although the squad played brilliantly on occasion, it was just as apt to play distressingly on others. The season, especially in the latter half of February, became excruciatingly long, and although we continued to enjoy ourselves, no one was par- ticularly sad to see the campaign come to an end, least of all the coach who was felled once by pneumonia and on another oc- casion by the flu. It is a pity that hockey has to be played in such cold, damp buildings! It is difficult to say much about our forward lines, since we rarely employed the samecombinations on two consecutive occasions. The red line was composed of

Senior League FRONT ROW: Stacey, Beckett II, Johnston, Parks. Redmond, Arnott, Green III, Benson II, Heuton. CENTRE ROW: Williams, Mollenhauer, Speich, Wu, Gilchrist, Johnson, Cole, Mr. O ' Leary. BACK ROW: Hubner, Bruce, McCulloch, Logan II, McCarter, Lam. Well, we did it! We made it through the season without a fatality. We did experience a number of serious collisions though most of these were bet- ween the top of the ice and the bottom of some of our less ex- perienced skaters. In fact we came out of the season ' s games with Ridley without our pride seriously injured, our records being senior squad (one tie - one loss) and junior squad (one win - one tie - one loss). It was a season that brought the best out of a lot of boys. Herman Lam showed us the drive needed to become a good skater. Guy Lafleur showed us all his blistering slapshot while Dave Wu showed the courage needed to stand in front of it! In fact, Dave says he wants to try goal again next year - look out Steve. Dave the animal showed us that Radar is not the only one from Colley House who can throw his weight around. In all the boys, the league brought out something unique, but for the sake of time and space, suffice it to say, everyone developed and tested their hockey skills in an atmosphere of enjoyment and good sportsmanship. For this reason, I must thank them all for a great season. B. O ' L 94
