LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW JUNIOR Q.A.H.A. HOCKEY Loyola (0) vs. Royals (6). Two days after the close of the foot- ball season, Loyola Juniors opened the 1932-1933 hockey season with a rather decisive defeat at the hands of Royals. Barsalou's outstanding work in the nets was the only thing that kept the score down as low as it was. The Loyola team crumpled under the strong Royals in the third period. Loyola (1) vs. McGill (2). McGill iced a fairly strong team and, as usual, the two College teams turned in a rather see-saw exhibition of hockey. Dubee, the Loyola captain, led rush after rush into McGill territory and was successful in scoring the Loyola goal unassisted. Morse and McLennon were outstanding for McGill, with McLen- non getting both goals. Loyola (2) vs. Victorias (0). Loyola broke into the winning column against Victorias, their tra- ditional rivals. Poor goal-tending for Victorias and good goal-tending for Loyola were deciding factors in the Loyola victory. McIlhone played а very strong back-checking game, but was not very effective nul the nets. As usual the bounding Dubee played an important part in the game and scored both goals; Shaughnessy and Мас- Donnell made the assists. Talpin and Neville were outstanding for the Vics. Loyola (4) vs. St. Francois- Xavier (4). One of the biggest upsets in Junior Hockey was Loyola tieing the strong St. Francois outfit. The rugged tactics of Loyola's ex-football players, sterling work by Barsalou, and excellent rushes by Aubut and Fitzgibbon stopped the Flying Frenchmen. Dubee, Aubut and Tracey were the scorers for Loyola. For St. Francois, the skating of Archam- bault, the stickhandling of Watson and the shooting of Cormier were the real weapons of offense. Loyola (2) vs. Royals (9). The name Royals spelled the word ‘DEFEAT’ in capital letters for the Loyola team of this year. It was the same old tale of having to play a defen- sive game against faster skaters, and not being able to body-check them hard enough to take the speed out of them. The boys held well enough until the last half of the third period. Then the rout began with Carrie scoring four goals in quick succession and Mundey scoring another before the bell. Martin scored two; Donnelly and Bissell chalked one apiece. Aubut and Fitz- gibbon scored for Loyola, while Mac- Donnell and Dubee played a represen- tative game on the defense. Loyola (2) vs. McGill (3). A very fast game with both teams hitting the peak of their form. McLen- non and Woo were going at top speed ‘for McGill, while Shaughnessy, Thomas and Fitzgibbon did some very effective work for Loyola. Gerry Aubut deve- loped a real scoring punch and scored both goals for Loyola. Two bad lapses on the part of Barsalou in the nets gave the victory to McGill. Loyola (4) vs. Victorias (3). With most of the team just returned from Lake Placid, it was a tired but willing outfit that took the ice against the Vics, who were fighting for their first victory . Each team took the lead twice in the game with Loyola getting the final break. The game was not productive of any real hockey. The Loyola scorers were МсПпопе, Aubut, ier

LOTOLA COLLEGE REVIEW And before the period ended Art Thomas had netted Loyola's winning goal. Titcombe and Glass were the scoring threats for Bishops; Keyes, Thomas, MacDonnell and Buckley displayed а brand of hockey that earned the plau- dits of the spectators time and time again. Feb. 4th. U. of M. (2) at Loyola (4). Loyola started slowly but came through brilliantly at the end to defeat the strong University of Montreal team. The latter started the scoring early, having an apparently commanding lead at the beginning of the second period. Their two goals came as the result of the efforts of the Gouin-Demers and Pothier-Riccard combinations. In the second period Mcllhone and Tracey scored for Loyola, both on passes from Buckley. The U. of M. outfit then resorted to defensive tactics, but this proved their undoing. In the third period both teams lost a number of scoring chances; but Shaughnessy finally breezed through with the deciding goal near the end of the session. He followed it up a minute later with another, on a pass from Parker, to clinch the lead and the game. Feb. 11th. Bishops (1) at Loyola (4). By defeating their ancient rivals, Loyola went into sole possession of first place in the Intermediate Intercollegiate loop. Reversing their usual tactics, the Loyola men went on the offensive right from the first whistle. Their strong rushes were soon capped by a fine goal from the stick of MacDonnell. Daly scored soon after on a rather lucky shot from centre-ice, which the Bishops goalie helped into the nets. In the second period Bucher skated alone through the opposing team and scored on his own. Glass then put Bishops back in the scoring column on a long shot from the wing. Bishops oh threatened throughout the final period, but were unable to score. MacDonnell, however, chalked up another one for Loyola on a pass from Fitzgibbon. Feb. 18th. Loyola (3) at U. of M. (2). In the Mount Royal Arena, Loyola eked out a win over the same team which it had defeated decisively just one week before. The team was not up to the form displayed in other games, while their opponents took full ad- vantage of the Беда that came their way. Loyola opened the scoring in the first ree: with a goal by Buckley on a pass rom Shaughnessy. In the second period U. of M. tied the score, and a little later drove home what appeared to be the winning goal. However, in the final session the team made a determined attack which resulted in a goal by Buckley. And just before the final whistle blew Shaughnessy and Mac- Donnell combined to score the winning goal of the game. In this way was a seemingly sure defeat turned into a victory. Feb. 25th. McGill (3) at Loyola (1). Loyola's hopes for a title shattered by the strong McGill team in this, the last scheduled game of the league. The game was one of the best gp es on the Stadium ice this year, and it was only in the dying moments of the final period that the issue was determined. McGill held a one-goal lead until the final period. At the beginning of the final period Loyola tied the score and it looked as if overtime would be necessary to decide the winner. But McGill made a last minute drive which swept Loyola completely off their feet, and ran in two goals in rapid succession. This win gave to McGill the Eastern Intermediate Intercollegiate title and the right to enter into the Dominion playdowns. 1591

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW Shaughnessy and Thomas; Barsalou played another top-notch game in the nets. Loyola (1) vs. St. Francois Xavier (2). Two quick goals in the dying mo- ments of the game gave the victory to the fleet St. Francois team. The game was wide open and both goalers were called upon to make save after save. Tracey and Parker played well, while Aubut scored the Loyola point. The real features of the game were the back- checking of Mcllhone and the goal- tending of Barsalou. But all their good work went for nought when Cormier scored on two tricky shots near the end of the game. Loyola (2) vs. Royals (11). At this point we are almost forced to admit that this Royals outfit has a slight edge on our boys. However, we take comfort in the knowledge that the Royals were an exceptional team for that loop this year, as a glance at their record for the remainder of the season shows. Three juveniles, Brabant, Car- roll and Kane, were moved up for the game and played very well. However, they were no match for the Royals. The Loyola defense gave a good account of themselves for the first two periods, but weakened in the third when seven counters were made. Barsalou's play in the nets was really marvelous; Aubut scored the two Loyola goals. Loyola (2) vs. Victorias (4). This, the last game on the schedule, was a tather ragged affair. Both teams were definitely out of the running, so that the outcome of the game was of no practical import. As the score indicates, Victorias had a slight edge on the Loyola outfit. — SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY HE Senior High School iced a young, inexperienced team which —though it was unable to win any league games—gave every opponent a run for their money. Manager Tom Dillon had but one player from last year's team, Rolland the goaler. In spite of the handicap he turned out a team that will be a real threat for city honors next year, since practically every player has another season to play. In the League the Loyola sextette lost to Catholic High, D'Arcy McGee, and held Montreal Tech to a hard fought tie. Loyola played well defensively but lacked the necessary scoring punch and finish around the nets. Loyola played four exhibition games near the end of the season, winning three and tieing one. This showed clearly that the team was capable of playing real hockey. They tied the champion D'Arcy McGee outfit at the Ice Carnival, and then went out to defeat Notre-Dame College in a wide open, see-saw battle. The High School ended the season in a blaze af glory by defeating Bishops’ College School in one of the best games seen at the Sta- dium this year. Albert Rolland turned in some sen- sational work in the Loyola nets. The defense, consisting of Jack Shaugh- nessy, Dussault and Clifford lacked only experience. Charlie Pare uncovered a devastating poke check at centre; he was flanked by speedy Frank Ryan and hard-shooting Leo Carroll, the three forming a line which compared favour- ably with the best in the league. Holland, Hickey, Cody and Tyler im- proved rapidly as the season advanced. The players are greatly indebted to Bill Daly and to Mr. MacElligott, S.J., for their cooperation and coaching during the latter part of the season; this made itself evident in the team’s decided improvement towards the end.
