Berry-Kerr duo scored 410 points in Hockey play

 

By Glenn Cole

 

Quick now, who is the all time leading scorer in Sir George hockey history?

 

If you said Bob Berry, well, it was a good guess, but a wrong one.

 

In actual fact, Berry, now a member of Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League, is ranked No. 2 in the all-time list with 203 points, four behind his ex-teammate Trevor Kerr.

 

In his four years at Sir George, Kerr scored 91 goals and a record 116 assists while Berry accomplished his 203 points on 97 goals and 106 assists in three years of play. Berry holds the record for most points in a season, 89, set in the 1966-67 season when the Georgians won their fifth straight conference title.

 

Dave Dies, who once coached the Georgians to a conference title, had the most goals in his career. In his three seasons at Sir George, Dies managed 99 goals and 81 assists and holds down third spot in the all-time list with 180 points, eight ahead of Bill Ellyett, 10 in front of Jim Webster, 11 more than Toby O’Brien and 12 more than big John Murray.

 

O’Brien, who played along with Webster on McGill

Redmen last season, had 72 goals and 97 assists while

Murray, who closed out his five-year career with the

Georgians by playing on the first-ever Quebec University

Athletic Association championship team in 1971~72, had

86 goals and 82 assists.

 

Barry Cullen, a speedy winger, had 72 goals and 67 assists for 139 points, two more than Alex Matthew. But Cullen’s point total came over a four-year span, while Matthew, a former junior hockey player, fired his 66 goals and 71 assists in only 50 games over a two-year span.

Mike McNamara, now in the Quebec Nordiques organization, had 45 goals and 81 assists in 92 games in three years while Mark Shewchuk, who along with Francois Ouimet was All-Canadian on the Georgians last year, had 114 points on 61 goals and 53 assists in two years.

 

Phil Sutton and Rick Moore just missed qualifying for the 100-point club by two points. Sutton scored 45 goals and 53 assists in 54 games while Moore, the Georgians leading scorer last year, had 42 goals and 56 assists after his first two years at Sir George.
