They are goaltender Clay Lover- ing, forwards Scott Wallace and Wayne Snodden, and defensemen Mike Ryan and Bob Horton. In his address, Mr. Parliament called the just completed season one of the most gratify- ing ever. He noted that the team got off to a very slow start and at one point was in last place. But he said the players and coaching staff didn't give up, kept working hard at practise, and on the final weekend of the season, the team won two back games to nail down third spot. The opening playoff round with Little/Britain went the full seven games and Mr. Parlia- guys showed up when they were down 4-0 in game seven and came back to win it," he said. The team then went down to defeat in a rugg- ed series with Bowman- ville, but Mr. Parliament said he was very proud of the players when they stayed on the ice to offer congratulations to the winners.
