Wham! The light behind the goalie cage flashes red and the M.H.S. Hockey Team scores again! Led by All-Star center, Captain Jim Umile, the hustling Red Raiders went all the way this year to win the MIDDLESEX LEAGUE, STATE and the NEW ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS! Sparked by All-Star defensemen Charlie Holden and Paul Hurley, forwards Bill Hardy and Paul Flaherty and spectacular "Mr. Goalie”, Pete Greenlaw, the Raiders dominated first place in the league and wound up the season with thirteen wins and dne tie with Belmont, the only team to present any opposition to the championship Melrose six. In the State Tournament the undefeated Raiders continued their winning streak by ousting Cambridge Latin, Catholic Memorial, and Walpole before upsetting Newton 2-1 in the finals. At Providence too, the Raiders proved they had a powerful and versatile group of skaters. At the season’s close Captain Jim Umile was presented with the Henry C. Lynch Memorial Trophy as a fine tribute to the outstanding player in the State Tournament. (Exerpt from the Class of 1962 yearbook)
