TAKEN FROM THE FROM THE 1942 MHS YEARBOOK

This past season, Melrose has had one of the most outstanding hockey teams in many years. They had a perfect record in league competition with seven wins, no losses or ties. Their only defeat was handed them by Hebron Academv, a group of older and experienced players.

By winning the league competition, the team became eligible to defend their title of New England champions, which they won last year at Providence. The play-offs were held in Boston this year. In the first game they defeated Athol to advance to the semi-finals. Here they won against a strong Waltham team to enter the finals against Mount St. Charles of Woonsocket. This game was probably the best and most exciting schoolboy game ever played in the Boston Garden. The final score being 1-0 with Melrose making a successful defense of their title of New England Champions.

The prospects for the coming year are bright because only four players are graduating, Tom Dockrell, Lou Spadafora, Jim Sutherland, and Bill Atkins. The 1941-42 season is, indeed, a splendid tribute to Coach Poole who is to be succeeded by Dave Gavin.
