onship tournament.
They lost by one goal in that
game, against eventual tournament
winner Goderich Credit Union.
"It was close," Bolton said of the
team's 2-1 loss. "It could have gone
either way."
The team played well, he said,
though they were perhaps a little
tired from a game against Goderich
Silver earlier that day.
That round-robin game began in
lop -sided fashion, with St.
Columban scoring the first five
goals. They eventually allowed
three, en route to a 6-3 victory.
The team was short-handed for
much of the tournament, playing
with only two or three substitutes
Bolton said.
In Bolton's mind, however, neither
of the Goderich games matched the
quality of a round-robin game
against Clinton.
"I think the best game of the
whole season was that Clinton
game, even though we lost," Bolton
said. "The guys really put out 110
per cent."
The outcome of that contest was
decided in the last 15 minutes of
play, according to
Bolton.

Though Clinton
emerged with a 4-2
win, the game was
tied 2-2 with very lit-
tle time left in the sec-
ond half.
"I considered- Clinton
the team to beat at
the time," Bolton said.
St. Columban player
Matt Cartwright had
an especially good
playoff, scoring eight
goals.
The team's goaltend-
ing was also quite
strong, according to
Bolton.
Goaltenders Chris
Whelan and Steve
McClure "kept us in
the game pretty well,',
Bolton said.
Whelan is the team's
most valuable player
this season, chosen
because he is a good
all-around player "who
played well both as a
goaltender and in the
field, Bolton said.
Receiving the most
improved player
award this year is
Greg Murray.
"He really developed
a lot of skills and
started to put more
effort into his game,"
Bolton said. "With a
