TAKEN FROM THE 1950 MHS YEARBOOK

Hail the Champs!

Yes, 1950 was a banner year for the hockey squad as they brought three championships to M. H. S. This story of success really starts about six years ago, when Doc Marsolais started a group of boys playing hockey. The boys improved with age and, as a result, the 1950 Red Raiders became Greater Boston Interscholastic League champs, Metropolitan Tourney champs, and New England Schoolboy champs.

Coach Henry Hughes just missed a championship last year but more than made up for it this season. Dick Baker was sensational in the nets, while John Titus, Seaver Peters, and Bob Marsolais combined masterfully to give M. H. S. the most publicized line in this section. Herk Kennific and Tony Cicoria were outstanding defensemen, and Bob Cox was the mainstay of the second line. George Conn and Bob Reddish proved to be capable reserves.

The long season came to a climax at Providence, where the New England Championships were held. The Raiders breezed through the preliminary and semi-final rounds, and faced Burriville, Rhode Island in the finals. After this spectacular victory, Bob Marsolais, John Titus, Herk Kennific, and Tony Cicoria were chosen on the All New England team.

For this great year the team was rewarded with a four day trip to New York, a fitting tribute for such a team.
