     award, which is selected 
     
     by the coaches themselves, 
     
     marks the first tine that 
     
     - a UPEI hockey coach has 
     
     captured the honor. 
     
     Although many students 
     
     are mayare and unfamiliar 
     
     with Jack Hynes, the 
     
     players' reaction was me 
     
     of extreme pleasure. mam 
     
     captain Larry Arsenault 
     
     felt that he was a most 
     
     deserving candidate and 
     
     stated that it was me of 
     
    
   
   
    
     the best things that 
     
     happened to the club this 
     
    
   
   
    
     ~ season. Senior netmin' der 
     
    
   
   
    
     Ron McInnis was not 
     
     surprised at the selection 
     
    
   
   
    
     _ and stated just that, 
     
    
   
   
    
     "There was no one else \ 
     
     that deserved the award 
     
     more than Jack."

     The Irish Heritage Soc- 
     
     iety was originally formed 
     
     on St. Patrick's Day 1976 
     
     by a group of 13 persons 
     
     including Prof. O'Grady. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     comes after just his 
     
     second season behind the 
     
     Panther bench. In his 
     
     two years at the helm he 
     
     has guided the club to an 
     
     overall record of 23 wins, 
     
     14 losses and three ties. 
     
     In both years the r 
     
     Panthers advanced to post 
     
     season play. For Hynes: 
     
     that is nothing new as 
     
    

    
     he has never coached a 
     
     team that has failed to 
     
     make the playoffs. 
     
    
   
   
    
     General manager John 
     
     Neville was especially 
     
     happy with the selecticn 
     
     of Hynes. "People don't 
     
     realize'hcw hard the man 
     
     worked at his job. Just 
     
     because he isn't around 
     
     campus left the 
     
     impressim that he wasn't 
     
    
   
   
    
     getting involved. This is 
     
     not the case. The players 
     
     worked very hard this 
     
     season and got a lot of 
     
     credit for their efforts; 
     
     now finally Hynes gets 
     
     the credit that he deserve 
     
     deserves. " 
     
    
   
   
    
     As expected, Hynes was 
     
     very pleased with his 
     
     selection but had to pass 
     
     on some of the credit for 
     
     the award. "Certainly I 
     
     am pleased to win this 
     
     award, especially consid— 
     
     ering that my fellow 
     
     coaches voted for it. 
     
    
   
   
    
     However a good deal of the 
     
     credit has to go to the 
     
     players and my assistant 
     
     Everett Stewart. 'Ihe club 
     
     had some rough times this

     season with injuries and 
     
     other things but they 
     
     stuck together and made 
     
    

    
     my job an awful lot easier. 
     
    
   
   
    
     As far as I am concerned, 
     
     this award is a reflection 
     
     of our hockey program. " 
     
    
   
   
    
     Although there was no 
     
     armomcen‘ent as to a 
     
     formal presentation, we 
     
     would like to extend our 
     
     congratualtions to coad'l 
     
     Hynes and say thanks for 
     
    
   
   
    
     making this year such a 
     
     success. We are confident 
     
     that with so many return.-

     a top rate show certainly 
     
     left mud'l to be desired as 
     
      Fabulous Platters ; 
     
     performed at last week's 
     
     Pig and Whistle. 
     
    

    
     The band encountered 
     
     several problems through— 
     
     outthedayandintheend 
     
     the UPEI students were the 
     
     ones to suffer most. 'Jhe

     this week's Pig &’Whistle. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In addition, the powers 
     
     that be decided that the 
     
     band should not be fully 
     
     paid and asked the band's 
     
     agent to return the next 
     
     morning for further 
     
     discussions.

     of. 
     
    
   
   
    
     All in all, it was an
