We 'fn xl ,ff OCKEY is undoubtedly the most mag- netic attraction in the sports' cycle at St. Sebastian's, and its advent is hailed each year with greater enthusiasm than any other athletic competition stimulates. For four years now, the School has sponsored an ice team that has carried the Red and Black colors into the forefront of Catholic League and private school ranks, and the ex- ploits of each year's sextet have been fol- lowed by an ever-increasing number of loy- al fans who have packed the Skating Club on Saturday nights and traveled to remote sections of the state to watch our gliders in action. During the first three Catholic League ice campaigns that we engaged in, we were always a potent factor that never ended up lower than third in the race and we achieved the co-championship once and the runner-up post in 1945-46. Those same three Hockey seasons were highly spiced by the brilliant play of our jack Mulhern who could always be relied upon to provide a thrilling maneuver that would pull out a victory or avert a defeat. As soon as Football departed the scene last November, Coach Vin Murphy an- nounced a meeting of all Hockey candidates and, as usual, his invitation was accepted by every St. Sebastian lad who had ever worn skates. There was just enough time, before the League season began, to hold three Friday night practice sessions at the Skating Club and to evaluate the material available. In these preliminary workouts, the coach's chief worries were to find suc- cessors to fill the shoes of Captain Paul Mc- Grath and Center Iceman jack Mulhern who had graduated the previous june. The first named problem disappeared almost at once when Bruce Harrigan of St. john, N. B., declared himself a candidate for the net-minder's job. Small in stature, but ever alert and quick to size up a situation, the newcomer proved himself a real asset from the start. To cope with his great loss in the line, the coach transferred Co-Captain Bob Murphy into Mul's spot, stationed Co-Cap- tain jack Slattery at right wing and tried out Bob Egan at left wing. That this frontier trio would have plenty of trouble in entrenching itself as the regular line was indicated by the frequency with which Joe Deignan, Frank Hennessey, Jim Ryan and Russ MacDonald saw service in the practice scrimmages. At the defense berths, Vin was fortunate to have the two regular start- ers of last season, Jack Boyle and Bill Gib- bons, back again, but this bright prospect was considerably dimmed by the possibility that injuries sustained in Football might prevent them from starting the campaign. In that event, the competition would be keen between Ed Quirk, joe Ford, Bob Joyce, Tom Hartnett and Jack Skehan. Besides the front-liners mentioned above, Belmont Bob Kelly, graduate from last year's Diaper Line, was a factor to be reck- oned with and won himself the pivot spot in the junior Line which he formed with jim Cotter and Bill Brooks. Among the new candidates, two Freshmen, Paul Gib- bons and Dick Mulhern, showed distinctive stick-handling and skating ability enough to stay with the Varsity and form a new Diaper Line with Murray Regan, holdover from last year's infant trio. To make the practice sessions complete, Harold Field took over the job of understudying Bruce in the cage, and, on occasion, Freshman John
