For many involved in the oeremmies it was a sad went as UPEI sent off young men who have made a large contribution to hockey, athletics and UPEI in general. M has been the custom with the hod<ey Panthers there was a lengthy ceremony preceding their final home game. The parents of the graduating players were presented with flcmers by . the team and were introduced to the 1000 people s‘trcrig crmd. Those being honored received a number of gifts.

NAMED To S“UDENT PANTHERS 6A president Paul Camolly, gave the players certificates of recognitim of their time and effort in their years as a varsity athlete. Vince Mulligan, representing the man genent of the team Ken Burton right winger Ross Yates of Nbunt Allison romded out the" first team. The second team was an even bigger joke. George Barrett of St. F.X. was in ' the nets with Mighel Bechard of Monctm and Don Maciver of SMU on defense. Up front Doug Chase of SMJ, Grant 'I‘hcxrpsm of SMU and Paul MacIean of Dalhousie rounded off the seccmd team. For Wilfred MacDonald it. marks the third straight year he has made all—confer— ence. He was the only unanimous selection and was also selected as the league's nominee for the top player in Canada. This was really not a surprise as most of the coaches around the league have ccnqeded that #18 is the league's best defenceman. * Brian Ostroski, in only his first year with the Panthers, also was named to the first team, sharing the other defence spot with Inuie Iavoie of Dalhousie. Brian led the conference (tied with MacDonald) in points for a dafenceman and enjoyed a fine year. To make an all- oonferenoe as a rookie is not an easy feat and one which even Wilf MacDonald .. did not accomplish. The dioise of Cuomo at center and Yates on right wing were solid choices as they finished one—two in the league scoring. However the choice of Greg Keating as all—star left winger is an insult to the rest of the players in the league. Certainly Keating is a fine DREAM ,just four goals all year and presented the players with engraved pucks, color actim photos of their career as well as souvenir programs autographed by all their teammates. 'Jhose graduating were Larry Mayhew of Kensingtm, P.E.I.; Dave Pineau of Rustic, P.E.I.‘ Brian Camerm of Kinkora, P.E.I.; Mike Selledc of Prescott, cnt.; Ken Burtm of Chateauguay, Que. , and Wilfred MacDonald of South— port, P.E.I. Iarry Mayhew was with the club for cnly one year but played an important role in the Panther success. Alla though he saw limited ice time he was always ready to step in. He did just that as he was pressed into hockey player but he scored in the games against UPEI was not even a factor. In discussions around the league the same was true. He did not have a good year. Still the reputation carried him through and he stole the award from somecne who truly deserved it., The second team saw a 1 goalie who had the fifth l best goals against average in the conference get ‘ selected. Add to that a 1 center who scored less 1 points in a full seascn than the Panthers David Cameron did in 13 games. Even more blatantly where was Francois Bessette, the league's third leading scorer despite only playing 12 games. Read at — things get worse. Although the defence on the secmd team are both top players who enjoyed ’fine seascns, where is Allie MacDmald, . Dalhousie's leader and top player? The Tigers are ranked 7th in Canada and nest of their success can be I. attributed to the fine play of Machnald. Well, the Eigers were not left out. 'mey had their right winger Paul MacIean selected. Yes that is the same Paul MacIean who carried his stid< at light level and who I would regard as the dirtiest player I have seen in the league in four years. He couldn't put the puck in the ocean if he was m the wharf and I won't even try to evaluate his hockey sense because it is no higher than his scoring statistics. ; g ,
