BSHS Girls Hockey Teams 1967

GIRLS' HOCKEY CRITIQUE

Sue Bennett (Capt.): Sue has become quite a personality in the team. Not only has she been an inspiration through her capable manner of play but also with her enthusiastic interest and assistance in coaching. Very much appreciated.

Sue Swenson (Goalie): This year has reached amazing levels of development. Calm, capable and extremely reliable, Sue has been a “lifesaver” in every sense. A truly valuable player.

Vicky Rodgers (Left F.B.): First year in the High School team. Seems to be rather detached from the game, but still manages to defend well. Needs more consistency in making long passes and clearing away from the goal.

Lyn Welsh (Right F.B.): Another improved player. Has developed a much more aggressive style of play with more penetrating clearances to forwards.

Fran Osborne (Right H.B.): A dashing half-back, also useful as a goal-scoring forward. Tenacious and determined in manner. Still potentially a “star”. Sometimes careless with sticks.

Jan Roberts (Centre H.B.): A welcome return to the team. Steady and a real driving force. Excellent stickwork.

Vicki Carthew (Left H.B.): Began the season as a wing, where her sharp hard shots for goals were most needed. Recently returned to her “favourite” position and has quickly reestablished herself as a capable half-back.

Lorna Johansen (L.W.): Lorna has spent a profitable season in learning to play as a wing. Performs well most times and is particularly good on short corners where her “trick shots” have kept her opponents guessing.

Lee Campbell (L.I.): Another very successful year, highlighted by her selection, along with Sue Bennett, in the Association Country Week side. Both these players benefited from this experience, particularly Lee, who has learnt to become a part of a moving forward line. Highest goal scorer in the team.

Robyn Trainer (C.F.): Probably the most improved player in the team. Now plays her position extremely well especially in closing out the opposing goalie. Passes well to other forwards. Good attacker.

Judy Denton (R.I.): Left school in second team but continued to play in the team. Plays a much better forward now. Has scored some good goals through clever forward tactics.
