THE ASHBURIAN I Z5 I Although beaten in both our maior games this year, we should not be despondent, for valuable experience was gained, and with the majority of the team returning next year, the future of Ashbury in the hockey line looks bright indeed.

MCKINLEYL Goaler. 2nd year on team. A good goalkeeper he must, however, learn to clear the puck more quickly. The experience gained this season should be to his advantage next year. C. A. WINTER: Left Wing. 3rd year on team. A good stickhandler, but must learn to backcheck and skate harder. Should prove valuable next year. H. B. HEATH. Defence. 3rd year on team. Must learn to break fast and shoot straight. Could use his weight to more advantage. R. C. BOURGET: Centre. lst year on team. A good playmaker and an effective backchecker. Has a good shot but must learm to skate faster. Should be a great asset to next year's team. RENAUD. Right Wing. Ist year on team. A good skater but could be faster.
