— FIELD HOCKEY IN 1988 Field hockey is a well known sport usually played by strong willed, aggressive females. In this sport, each player is equipped with an oddly shaped stick with a flat and a curved side and is told to hit a ball across a field in- to the opposing team’s net. Thus they earn their own team a goal and start them along the way to victory. This year ' s field hockey team at St. John’s Kilmar- nock School was no exception. They trained hard and fought doggedly through wind, rain, or shine. Almost every afternoon they could be seen out on the field prac- ticing every technique possible. It all paid off too. With the encouraging help from their coach, Mr. Guy Zink, these girls, by the end of the season, had never lost a single game. Like any team, the encouragement of the coach is not the only reason an ordinary team becomes an excellent team. There has to be something inside the players themselves. That something inside these girls was spirit. They played for the love of the game, not just to win, although winning did give it a certain charm. This spirit came from their surroundings. It also helped to have a team uniform. AS one player said: Our new uniforms were an enormous asset to our moral and made us more proud to be the ambassadors in representing our school. We went into each game with lots of enthusiasm, determination, and spirit ready to prove ourselves. The season consisted of many single exhibition games against schools such as Rosseau Lake and Ridley Col- lege, and the team attended two tournaments. These tournaments were The Black and White Tournament in Exeter, and the Ontario School Girls’ Conference in Toronto. Because of the experience these games gave the girls, two members tried out for the Ontario Squad. Alison Peppier will be playing goal for Ontario in the summer. In all seriousness, however, this year’s field hockey team from a small school did a fantastic job in the season. As their coach said before every game, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog!” 82
