Wholly Rollers Take Wholly Sliders 3-1
The 1914 women’s hockey team played each other and town teams from the Wolfville area. The April 1914 Athenaeum reported: “The playing of hockey by college girls is a new thing at Acadia. Much interest has been taken in it by everyone connected with the college, and when it was announced there was to be a public game on March 5, all made a special effort to be present....The girls surprised the spectators by their clever work. The teams were the ‘Wholly Rollers’ and the ‘Wholly Sliders’.” The Wholly Rollers won by a score of 3-1. “On the following Thursday evening, March 12, the college girls played a game with the town girls.” The town won 2-1. “Players on Acadia’s team were: Charlotte Layton, Elizabeth Starrett, Margaret Palmer, Dorothy Burditt, Rae Wilson, Lillian Chase and Grace Blenkhorn, while Violet Sleep, Grace Shaw, Miss Baisley, Minnie Godfrey, M. Coldwell, Marie Wilson and Ethel Mitchell played for the Wolfville town team.”
