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.

The Varsity Baseball Team finished its season with an outstanding record of 24-7- 1. Coach Fabrizio is satisfied and content with that record. However, he feels that the team could have won a few of the lost games, but believes in accepting the losses with the wins. Coach Fabrizio feels that the low point of the season was a hard loss of 2-1 to Leo, thus knocking the team out of Catholic League play. The Vikings were greatly led and greatly influenced by the outstanding per- formances of the team's M.V.P., pitcher Tony Lewis, and also by catching abilities of the team's most improved player, cat- cher Mark Bronke. The St. Laurence Coaching Staff would like to congratulate the Varsity Baseball Team on their outstanding performances, despite the season's cold and rainy outset. l Top: THE VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM - flfront Rowl C. .
