Bolt, This year ' s team was made up of both the seasoned veterans and a fresh group of rookies. Under the coaching of Mr. Snowden, the team got stronger and stronger. As one member put it, Bobbles sure taught me a lot . Most of our games were fast, good, clean hockey and we sur- prised ourselves that we could keep to it all game, in fact all season. There was a great spirit on the team and very little criticism among the players. Perhaps the most memorable game was in the finale against TCS. With the acidic memory of a close loss to them earlier in the season, the team went out and we mercilessly pounded them into the ice with a 5-2 victory. It was a rough game but the puck remained in Blue possession for most of it. With tough competition coming from Crescent and St. Andrew ' s, the team closed out vnth only three losses: one to TCS and two rcB

end. The offence was very potent. Steve McBride set up many goals and played as hard as anyone on the ice. Mike Hugo showed his brilliance always on the ice, and with Steve he should make one of the better combinations on the first team next year. Mark Bunting has the qualities to be a star. He has good moves, a hard shot and he is a very good skater. Joe Ryan has a long future in College hockey, since he is in grade none and came second in goal-scoring. John Myers was a hard player to figure out. Sometimes he would throw stunning body checks and be very chippy , and other times he would be a real gentleman. Nevertheless he had a very good wrist shot and always gave his best. The next line of Dave Stevenson, Don Freeman, Rich Hickling and Mark Mull was a very deceptive line. While they never scored nearly as many goals as the others, they were very good defensively. Rich Hickling must be commended on his ability to set up his team- mates. The season was a very en- joyable one. We were lucky to have a coach as good as Mr. Manbert: he made the year much more enjoyable because he emphasized the point that hockey should be fun and that winning isn ' t everything if you give one hundred per cent. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr. Manbert for a very good hockey season.

heart-stoppers going to our arch- rivals from Upper Canada. Both of these ended up with the winning goal scored with less than thirty seconds left in the game. Next Year! Unhke most years we did not suffer greatly from Northward Bound owing to the fact that our vets were well spread out over the six weeks and that we had strong and willing support from our farm teams. No offence in- tended to the CAHA (Central African Hockey Association]. To wrap it up, I feel that we really enjoyed the season and to mention any individuals would be unfair to the others because it was a team effort from the beginning.
