Quotations
1963
. . . [in 1911] the forward line composed of Hunt at centre, the late "Bouncer" Brouse at rover, Leo Milian on the left rail [left wing] and Reg Boyer on the right, made their highly rated opponents look ridiculous.
1965
The team lined up in in a T-formation with the two defencemen (called "point" and "cover-point") in single file in front of the goal, then the rover, then the centre, with wing0men to right and left.
