Many of the players were active in spring and summer leagues and they organized their own indoor team, the Perverted Pistons after the season’s end. Despite the mediocre 4-5-5 record the team would have been eligible for the state tournament again if they had lost just two fewer games. Erratic at times, the team came up with strong performances against heavily favored Arlington (two ties) but let down against lowly Revere. For the first time in their history they did not lose to arch-rival Medford they tied. According to the Arlington coach, Malden played his team as hard as any other in the G.B.L. The team was led by senior tri¬ captains Mike Rowe, Mike Cagno and Steve Milley. High scorer on the team was Enzo DeFilippo and goalie Bob Patrie received the team Most Valuable Player Award for his outstanding play.
