Men's Hockey

Although there was some good individual play in the earlier game, lack of co-operation in the team was very noticeable. At times the backs brought the ball well up the field but the forward line was not supporting them very well. Against OU, VUC lacked co-ordination and the passing was rather wild. The condition of the field proved detrimental to good play. VUC was unable to break through the OU back line and therefore early in the game there were several near goals. The game ended in a win for OU. the score being 3-1. The game against CUC was very fast and exciting owing to a late brilliant recovery (a little too late) made by VUC. Peter Burney, our efficient goalie, made several good saves and so prevented CUC from obtaining a higher score than they did. The final score was 3-2 to CUC.

When VUC played AUC the game was fairly even. AUC had a slight advantage in that they had Rood control of the ball while VUC were noticeable for their wild passing. VUC full backs. Gill Johnston and N. Buxton played well. The game ended in a win for AUC the score being 2-1.

By the time VUC played Massey, we had improved our game but there was still lack of co-operation in the circle. The game ended in a draw.
