A
wild card, who showed little respect for the opposition or the officials.
Paul

His
fast and furious style turned the opposition inside out, and when lined
up with Carl Nelson and Phillip Murray, made a trio to be feared and reckoned
with.

Downing
Formerly the coach,
Frank brought back the old-time hockey style.
