Co-captain Richie Tassinari, chosen for the All-Star Squad for the second year in a row, was again one of the finest goalies in the North Shore League, holding the oppo- sition to an average of less than two goals per game. The other co-captain, flashy left-winger, Roger Nelson, was also an All-Star nominee. Pete Tkachuk handled assignments at both center and right wing for the first line while Bill Burke took his turns on defense. Bob Zilinsky, though hampered by a bad chest cold, bolstered the attack when- ever he could play. Also carrying the colors of the class of ’60 were forwards Walt Nekoroski and John Cronin, and defenseman Barry Goldberg.
