1974 Hockey Champs ~ The Miracle Team

OCHS Saints Hockey captured the LOSSA championship and then the COSSA title. They went to Windsor to represent OCHS at the All-Ontario Hockey Finals. Only 9 teams participated. Most of the players were newcomers with very little experience. Coaches O'Brien and Lehman were really impressed with rookie goalie Mike Montgomery. Jim Nemish was the outstanding veteran. The captain of the team was Danny O'Neill.

Faces that I recognize in the back row include Brendan Lehman, Marc Adams, Bert Hoefs, Bob Hickey, Jim Nemish, Rocco Ambra and Peter Gibbs. The middle row sandwiched between coaches Lehman and Pat O'Brien are Terry Hopkins and Danny O'Neill. Goaler is Mike Montgomery.

Help me with the other names by leaving a comment.
