Kennedy Cup Comes Hom The Varsity Hockey Team had a very competitive 1982-83 season. The team finished with a record of 12-7-2 in Catholic League, 6-0-0 in playoffs, 1-1-0 in State, and 3-5-2 in exhibition. The team played an outstanding season, taking third in Catholic League and, for the first time since 1967, brought home the Kennedy Cup. The team did this by defeating DeLaSalle in the Quarter Finals, Mt. Carmel in the Semi-Finals, and St. Rita in the Finals of the playoffs. These goals were met through a great team effort. The team was made up of outstanding players. The Vikes had 5 All- Stars, John Caprio, who was also Most Valuable Defenseman, Mark Nutile, who was the team's leading scorer, Matt Cmunt, who was named M.V.P., Jim Lindh, and Mike Vennetti. 174 Top Right: THE VARSITY HOCKEY TEAM - tFront Rowj M.

'reshmen Prove Their Worth N... .Q The St. Laurence 1983 Freshman Basketball Team closed its season with an even 10-10 record, though suffering a 6-7 record in Catholic League action. Some highlights of the season came with vic- tories over Thornridge, Providence, and a tough DeLaSa1le squad. A few key players on the team were Jack and Bob Hallberg, Paul Pultorek, and Rich Lesiak. Despite not winning the Catholic league title, the Vikes put forth a more than ad- mirable effort in their games, as well as in practice.
