The defencemen had size to of- fer and Jeff Hughes, Tom Husebye, Rich Jobin, Randy Sopini ;a, Scott Guthrie and Steve Petersen hit hard all season. This defence proved to be quite strong but they had to be reminded that hitting doesn ' t win hockey games. The goaltending was fairly steady, considering that much of the time it was a shooting gallery and our three goalies (D. Bryant, S. Weisbaum, J. Charron) played well. These are the people on the ice, but what about our mild- mannered, rational coach behind the bench, the guy who put up with our mistakes without flinch- ing. When someone did make a mistake he would quietly take them aside and tell them not to do it again. During the season we had our ups and downs but overall it was a fun season. Thanks guys.

Third Team Hockey The ThirtJ Hockey Team this year had a tough season as we were hampered by injuries throughout the season. Ahhough the season was not a winning one, the general feehng of the team was one of a successful season. Even when we were behind we stuck together and never gave the game up without a rigourous fight. The team improved immensely with the help of Mr. Snowden ' s calm suggestions from the bench. Throughout the season our for- wards played steadily. Though they missed several golden opportuni- ties, they usually capitalized on good scoring chances. These men of action were J.B. Dineen, the wild Jamaican J. Bailey, and Jeff Locke. 62 -1h

First Basketbal The 78-79 basketball season was the sort of season that makes your insides clench when you think about it; the sort that makes you want to shout obscenities and then scrawl them on the wall; that makes you want to throw basketballs through the dining hall windows. It was very frustrating. At the start of the season, with fresh young players and equally fresh new warm-ups, the potential for success was great. The results and performances in the first few games bore this out. Against U.C.C, S.AC, and especially St. Georges, the team play£d with boundless energy and desire. It seemed that with a little matura- tion and concentration, the team could have gone on to play bril- liant basketball. It was that early, that the screw of frustration was first turned and it continued to be turned tighter , and tighter until the end of the season.
