LOFTS J.
McGUIRE
TOURNAMENT
DIRECTOR
By JOHN POWERS, Boston Globe
To the terminal hockey addict, it is Christmas Day come
two months late.
The thump of the newspaper against his storm door on
one particular February morning brings him out of bed with
a desperate longing, fueled by 10 weeks spent in freezing
rinks from Peabody to West Bridgewater.
His hands tremble. His eyes, numb with 7 o'clock blur,
strain mightily to focus. This is Pairings Day — a season-full
of fantasy and anxiety crammed into a pile of agate type in
a corner of the sports section.
Who did Melrose get? Nash, they COULDN'T have paired
Latin up with MC again — not after last year. Does Southie
play Arlington again?
Ah, Pairings Day—A winter's craziness, boiled down to
its quintessence, then set loose again to rock the old Garden
to its foundations for one magical week in March. Suddenly,
you care passionately about Revere, now that you're playing
them in the opening round at Ridge Arena. How good is
that kid DiCarlo? How many lines do they skate? Can they
shoot? Suppose we beat them — how about Burlington?
It never seems to change — if anything, the emotion
heightens every year, because they are more capable schoolboy
hockey teams than ever before.
When the tournament field is whittled down to the final
eight and the scene shifts to Causeway Street, that peculiar
insanity known as March Madness takes over. Who knows
how that fourth-line freshman center is going to react when
he hits Garden ice for the first time, and hears 10,000 people
screaming? He may have scored only two goals all winter,
both of them against Reading, but now, he's turning the hat
trick against Norwood in the big one.

Tournament fever is what Eddie Burns calls it, and he
knows the symptoms well. His Arlington teams-have been infected with it for more than a quarter of a century.
The Spy Ponders may be life-and-death during the final
two weeks of the regular season, sweating out those last two
games with Peabody and Revere, but they'll still qualify,
just as they did this year. And once they win that first one,
nothing is ever the same again.
Burns has another typically-balanced varsity this time, led
by another one of his prolific sons, junior center Brian. It is
young — a dozen sophomores and two freshmen — but wellgrounded in the basics. They forecheck with clockwork efficiency, and have one of the most effective power plays in
the state.
You don't need to be told this, of course. You've been
watching Arlington teams for years, and their style and
personality is unique. And you can say that about any of the
Elite Eight, in either division. The familiar names have a
knack of making it to the Garden — MC, Williams, Norwood, Dedham, Matignon, Southie, Hingham, Canton, ActonBoxboro, Billerica. — and they play familiar styles.

Maiden Catholic is going to show up with three or four
wizards — Dave Norton, Jim Trainor, Jack Hughes — and
enough manic forecheckers to keep you bottled up in your
zone for minutes at a time.
Southie is going to have the playmakers and the shooters—
Kevin Coughlin, who is unquestionably the finest player you'll
see all week, and linemates Mike Rowland and Mike Lydon.
They were the most productive line in Eastern Mass, this
winter, a calm, businesslike group that is good for five goals a
game, especially when the pressure is on and four thousand
of their fans are in the stands. Ask Arlington.
Norwood and Williams beat you with depth and non-stop
skating. They'll throw four fresh lines on the ice all night
long, and eventually some fourth-line sophomore will get
the goal that beats you. If those two meet in the quarterfinals, the game won't really be played with running time.
It'll just seem that way.
Peabody, the top seed this week, kills you with raw speed—
a first line of Ed Sousai Dan Bowman and Bob McKenzie
that may have more straight-ahead acceleration than anybody.
And Matignon, back again after a year's absence, has
two of the best sophomores in the state — Mark Fidler and
Bill Cotter, who've played together for nine years in Charlestown. The Warriors unseated Maiden Catholic as champion
of the tough Catholic Conference, and they've got the guns
to reach the final — provided that Southie doesn't come up
with another miracle finish.
Looking for darkhorses in the best-balanced Division I
race in memory? Try Burlington, the Middlesex champion
with the best regular-season goalie in junior Terry McSweeney.
Or Brockton, making its first tournament appearance ever.
The Boxers combine balance with depth up front, and their
first unit of Jim Tuite, Paul Spillane and Bill McGaffigan can
skate with anybody.
Or Lynn English, a first-round casualty last year, who
won the Northeastern title and has a fine scorer in Jim
Toomey.
The Division II battle, rapidly becoming a first-rate attraction in its own right, presents a clearer picture. Billerica,
with a Merrimack Valley League winning streak of nearly 40,
is by itself, and somebody will have to catch it.
The Indians have been familiar tournament faces the past
few years, reaching the semi-finals two years ago and the
final last March — losing to Acton-Boxboro each time.
They have the division's best defenseman in Mark Mastrullo and a pack of forwards — Brian Russell, Carlton

EIGHTH ANNUAL
Quinton, Bob Johansen, Mark Jenkins — who have been
producing goals at the rate of eight or nine a game. After
two years of frustration, this may be their year — unless, of
course, Acton intervenes again.
The Colonials chopped their way through a difficult draw
last year — Lynnfield, Barnstable, Hingham, Billerica— on
the strength of a swarm of buzzing forwards and a taut defense, led by All-Scholastic goalie Ken Moore,
Virtually everything — including coach Bruce Parker —
departed in June, but Moore is back, and he was enough to
produce another Dual County title and the second seed.
If Billerica is upset this week, look for A-B to be the
one responsible.
Oliver Ames, after two years of wasted trips to Boston
Arena, is finally ready to challenge, and the reasons are
a center named Randy Millen and a goalie named Jim Craig.
They spearheaded the Tigers to a Southeastern League crown,
and if they do anything at Causeway Street, they will be
the men in the middle of it.
Hingham is no stranger to either tournament. When the
Harbormen were denizens of the South Shore and Suburban
Leagues, they reached the quarterfinals of the Div. I tournament almost by instinct. Now, as masters of the Old Colony
League, their presence here is automatic. Look for Dick
Hamel, Paul Murphy and an exciting young player named
Matt LaHive to spark the Hingham challenge.
You know better than to overlook Canton. The scrappy
Bulldogs played their way to the semifinals last year, and

handed Oliver Ames their only defeat this winter. Goalie
Mark Hanson, and dangerous forwards Mark Oberlander
and Steve McNeil do the bulk of the heavy work.
Watch for Cape Ann powers Amesbury and Lynnfield
to cause an inordinate amount of trouble, too. Both were
first-round losers last year, but their forwards have matured
greatly. Amesbury, with forward George Dodier and defenseman Wayne Fournier, will be a tough quarterfinalist
And Lynnfield, the league champion, has a dynamite first
unit of Drew Taylor, Bert Burns and Matt Vacsro that simply
ate people alive this season.
There are at least half a dozen spoilers, too. Former
Cape Cod League terrors Barnstable and Falmouth ruled
the new-look Southeastern Mass. Div. I this year, and had
memorable battles with each other. One of the two is always
in the quarterfinals, even if it means overturning a league
champion to do it.
Dual County runner-up Concord-Carlisle knocked off New
Bedford, Masconomet and Arlington Catholic before losing
to Hingham in last year's quarters, and they could be dangerous — provided they survive their match with Lynnfield.
The Patriots' first line of Tim Moreau, John Tortorclla and
Brett Smith is as good as you'll find in either division.
What all of it creates is one of the most finely-tuned tournament fields ever, the sort of thing that will run you through
the emotional wringer several times before next Monday night.
That, after all, is what makes the hockey addict sprint down
his bedroom stairs with such anxiety every February.

Massachusetts Secondary School Principals Association
The Massachusetts Secondary School Principals Association is composed of heads of the Commonwealth public
and Catholic secondary schools.
M.S.S.P.A. is sponsor of the Eastern MassachusettsState Hockey Tournament held at Boston Garden on
March 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 17.
Besides the hockey tournament, the responsibility for
other types of competition includes cross-country and
soccer in the fall, basketball, indoor track, wrestling,
swimming, and gymnastics as well as hockey during the
winter and baseball, outdoor track, tennis and golf in
the spring.
Responsibility extends to the regulat'on of all sports
eligibility, all-star and other non-season competitions as
well as to the many other facets of athletics.
Until the M.S.S.P.A. took over regulation and operation
of multiple school athlet'c events in Massachusetts, the
situation aoproached near chaos. Everybody and anybody
were running post-season games and tournaments. Seasons overlapped and conflicted. In general there was mass
confusion.
pertaining to secondary schools in Massachusetts is the
interest of M.S.S.P.A.
However, sports led to the formation of the M.S.S.P.A.,
which took the initiative and brought order out of chaos.
This is an organization of voluntary members, a democratic and permissive body operated with democratic representation across the state and parliamentary procedures
whose members abide by the regulations of the organization through their own initiative in membership.
The income from tournaments such as this Boston
Garden competition, after the competing schools are reimbursed for expenses in keeping with a policy that no
school shall suffer financially from such competition, cover
expenses of the so-called 'loser* sports like cross country,
indoor and outdoor state track meets and competitions in
soccer, swimming and wrestling as well as those in golf,
tennis and baseball.
It goes, too, into an annual scholarship fund distributed
proportionately to qualifying students throughout the Commonwealth and for science fair and festivals in music and
drama as well as other programs which benefit students —
male and female —- in the state's secondary schools.
The M.S.S.P.A. took over, organized and installed rules
and regulations. School events were run by school people.
Athletes had to be school students in good standing in
their marks and citizenship. The M.S.S.P.A. sports credo
is that athletics are a privilege, not just inherited.
The M.S.S.P.A. is the Watchdog of school sports and
the Guardian of school academics.
M.S.S.P.A. is, however, much more than an athletic
organization.
The NEW Hockey School With a Difference...
That can be deduced from its other committees which
far outnumber those concerned with athletics, all under
direction of the Executive Board.
The committees are Academic Affairs, Educational
Policies, Music, Drama, Forensics and Debating; Citizenship, State High School Equivalency, Professional Standards, Legislative, Science Fair, Officials Fees, Scholarship,
National Honor Society, School and College Relations,
External Testing, N.E. Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, Student Council as well as discussional
groups.
Thus it is apparent that everything about everything
16
It also is the staunch friend of school students.
