HockeyBoston College Goalie blocks JimShires attempt to score during semifinalaction of the NCAA play-offs.The DU pucksters used a strong defenseand a potent offense to win the 1968NCAA championship, defeating bothBoston College and North Dakota.Goaltender Gerry Powers, muchimproved over last year, set records forthe most shutouts in one season (7) andthe most shutouts in a career (8). Heshould be a unanimous choice forall-WCHA.The line of Bob Trembecky, Jim Wiste,and Craig Patrick provided most of theoffense as they scored an average oftwo goals per game.The defensive corps of Keith Magnuson,Tim Gould, Dale Zeman, Randy Ward,and Ed Hamilton should be given creditfor an outstanding job. This wasprobably one of the finest blue lineteams in the country.With only Wiste, Cliff Koroll, and JimShires graduating, Pioneer fans shouldlook for another powerful team nextyear.Goalie Gerry Powers clutches the puck aftermaking a save against Boston College.SCORESDUOPP.5 North Dakota .... . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 North Dakota . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36 Minnesota Duluth 11 Michigan Tech . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 61 Michigan Tech . . . . . . . . . . 45 Univ. of Michigan 22 Univ. of Michigan ]12 Bemidji State 02 Finland Olympic Team ..•........ 24 U.S. Olympic Team 55 Italian Olympic Team 21 RussianOlympic Team 84 Univ. of Alberta 28 Univ. of Alberta 03 Michigan State Univ 23 Michigan State Univ. . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Minnesota Duluth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ]3 Colorado College. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Colorado College. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 05 U.S. Nationals 2] 0 U.S. Nationals 37 Univ. of Wisconsin . . . . . . . . . . . . . 110 Minnesota Duluth 26 Minnesota Duluth ]7 North Dakota .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 08 North Dakota . . . . . . • . . . . . . . . . 27 Michigan Tech 25 Michigan Tech 26 Univ. of Saskatchewan 01] Minnesota Duluth .9 Univ. of Minnesota 07 Univ. of Minnesota 34 Boston College. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 North Dakota .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0Overall Record: 28-5-]--~-----.....IFront Row" Left to Right: Gerry Powers, Bob Trembecky, Jim Wiste, Jim Shires, CliffKoroll, Tom Miller, Frank Doly.
