QV g ,,,. 5. ' ' Varsity Hockey players are talented but they have a rou h season Hockey is usually regarded as a sport which ls very rough and physically demanding. The players must be able to give their all for 45 minutes of fast moving action. A hockey player must be strong and aggressive, as well as graceful, in order to be successful. This years hockey team was not blessed with a winning season although they did have some outstanding players. Kevin Runnells was chosen as the most valuable player for his brilliant performance in front of the net. Mark Beckman, Berry Stiff, Tom Gora, and Brian Bonet also had an outstanding season.
