"Playoffs... Here We Come"

From the 1989 Emerson yearbook...


Don't feel like squinting? I'll do it for you. It reads:

"The mens hockey team enjoyed their most successful season to date. The Lions ended the season with a 5-10-1 record and advanced past season play for the first time in the team's history. They were the fourth seeded team and gave Salve Regina (#1) a tough game, losing 3-2. Key players on the team were freshman sensation Mike Pryor and goalie Crish Kinch. Co-captains were Jason Bourgauh and Eric Vanlandran. Right (above): Team huddles for pregame pep talk"

Playoffs... Here We Come

The Lions will face off against Salve Regina College on Saturday, February 18, 1989 in West Borough, Mass. This will be the first appearance in the Commonwealth Coast Conference playoffs for the Lions... and we want to take our fans with us! So... join us Saturday for the festive occasion."

Pre-game party at Crossroads? Fan bus? Times have certainly changed...
