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.
