What’s a team to do? On behalf of the resi- dents of Marian Hall and the Pit Bulls: Congratulations to the Soccer Team on winning the UPEI Winter Carnival Hockey Tournament. Where did Mar- ian finish? We didn’t. We, along with The Rulers, were kicked out of the tournament for getting involved in a bench clearing incident that we hope will not have to be repeated. With just over 6 minutes to When The Rulers jumped the boards go a fight broke out. in defense of their player, our hockey team simply followed suit. No further fights occurred but the intramural council saw it in the best interests of the league that both teams be sus- tourna- pended from further ment play. We are not making ex- euses for our actions. Any team would have done the same given the circumstances, in ei- that of The The point in hand, ther our case or Rulers. however, is that it seems ev- eryone likes to point fingers at Marian Hall and say we are to blame. Granted, it takes two to tangle, but why is it that other teams like to do their tan- gling with us? Opposing teams seem to think that we are just a bunch of goons and are only capable of playing dirty hockey. Nothing could be further from the truth. From the very beginning of the intramural season our in- tentions have been, and wil continue to be, to play good, fair, competitive hockey. We are capable of giving any team in this league a run for their money, as our 10 and 2 record shows. If the other team skates hard, we try to skate harder; if they play a physical game, of course we'll hit them back; and if they want to play it dirty, we have plenty of qualified play- ers who are capable of making it rough. This is not a threat and we hope no one takes it as one. All we do is play hockey and make stire that no-one tries to deliberately harm one of our players. If other teams can’t take our jokes in this paper or our pre-game rituals with the mu- sic and chants then maybe they | —Dave Valley should stay away from the rink.

At least they had the guts to try and generate some interest in the everyday life around UPEI, which is more than most facul- ties, societies, classes, etc. can say. The Bios try once in a while, and sometimes you can hear a faint grunt from The En- gineers, but let’s face it, things just aren’t like they used to be. Well, The Pit Bulls refuse to let good times die at UPEI. If there is a cause, be it a mock funeral or the Terry Fox run, we will be there. If you want people at your pubs, issue us a challenge. We love challenges. We will take on anybody, any- place, anytime, at anything (well, almost anything). What bugs us the most are those who gripe and complain about hav- ing nothing to do or that it’s no fun here. Well, no one can ac- cuse us of not doing our part. We are having fun, we have al- ways had fun, and we will con- tinue to have fun. And by the way, the next time you see us having fun, you can do one of two things. 1} Have some fun too- there’s lots to go around, or 2) You can ply to puck off. Now that that is all out of our system let’s talk about some- thing else. The Marian Hall Pit Bulls resumed league play on Mon- day and suffered only their sec- ond defeat of the season. Blan- chard Hall struck quickly and before we knew it we were down 3 to zip. With 4 straight goals, the Pit Bulls showed their true dogged de- however, termination and a win seemed possible.

Gino “The Flying Frenchman” Cormier had 1 goal; Tony “The Weasel” MacKenzie had two goals; and Chris “Puck” Robin- son had two goals. The score was kept close by the incredi- ble moves of Bert “The Fish” Ronahan. You had to be there to appreciate it. Quote of the game goes to John “Brophy” Dalton, orary coach of the Pit Bulls. He hon- was heard to say “...it wasn’t dirty, it wasn’t rotten, and nobody got hurt. What the hell happened here, a hockey game?” LOCKER NOTES: ROOM The boys from Marian wish to thank the intramu- ral council for allowing the championship trophy for the winter carnival tournament be named in the honor of Scott Holt. student Scott was a freshman Hall who was very active in sports and at Marian noted for his sense of fairness and good sportsmanship. One month after moving into resi- dence, he was diagnosed as hav- ing leukemia and died less than one year later. Though we re- gret being suspended from the tourney, we look forward to next year.
