When Jean Cartier hits some-
body, everyone knows it - Car-
tier's victim, the victim's team-
mates, and the crowd.
Cartier is known by m a n y
different names to hockey fans.
At Michigan, the novice fan
would recognize Cartier as a
number 3, the devout fan as
Punch, andthe opposing players
as that tenacious "bastard."
Aggressiveness is often the
necessary quality that deter-
mines whether or not an in-
dividual with athletic ability will
succeed under the stress of com-
petition. If there is any one-
word term to portray Cartier on
the ice, it is aggressiveness.
Head hockey coach Al Renfrew
affirms that Cartier personifies
aggressiveness, not only as a
defenseman but also on offense.
"When he hits a man you feel
it," says Renfrew. "He's ag-
gressive in that he lets other
players know that he's around.
He's got great ability to check,
to carry the puck, and is a
good shot."
According to Cartier, aggres-
siveness is a major aspect of
wining hockey. If the other
team starts thinking that they
can skate right through without
a hassle, they're going to blow
their opponents right off the ice.
"You've got to let them know
who you are," asserts Cartier,
with a moderate French accent.
"When they come around, you
shove them around. 'You can't
come on this side, Baby, 'cause
I'm here!'"
Harassing his opponents h a s
not been a complete success for
Cartier. Renfrew explains the
problem thusly: "There's a fine
line between b e i n g aggressive
and being in the penalty box half
the night. This is an important
aspect of the game. Anytime you
have a body contact sport you've
got to be aggressive or t h e
other team is going to take the
play away from you, but you've
got to do it within the limit of
the rules."
Being able to channel his
amuckness on the ice has not
been easy for Cartier. But with-
in human bounds, he has done it.
Renfrew describes Cartier's
hockey maturation: "It was a
big transition from junior hockey
to college hockey for Punch. He
was a key defenseman and a
great player in junior hockey.
But when he came down here he
didn't realize that you couldn't
fight and you couldn't spend
much time in the penalty box
and get away with it. But I
think that he's done a good job
lately of staying out of the box,
and most of his penalties have
been good penalties; in other
words, his penalties have been
ones that prevented a player
from getting a good shot on goal
or a breakaway.'
Cartier, in his final year at
Michigan, had begun his college
hockey career by leading t h e
WCHA in time in the penalty box
during his sophomore year.
Mentally, Cartier has a win- '
ning attitude throughout t h e
game. Whenever he's on rbe ice,
he concentrates on what he can
do to help his team win. Bad
breaks, teammates' mistakes
and grudges have destroyed the
positive attitude and conse-
quently the successful play of
many players, but not Cartier.
"If they score a goal while
I'm on the ice," Cartier relates,
"I just try to forget it right
away and not let it worry me.
If it had happened in the first
period, for instance, and you
keep thinking about it, you won't
play a good game the rest of
the way."
Unlike many athletes in many
different sports, Cartier is not
all hockey. When he is on the
ice he releases his pent-up hos-
tilities through aggressiveness
and concentration. Bnt once he
leaves the ice, he leaves hock-
ey.
In private life, Cartier is hap-
py-go-lucky, and says, "I don't
get aggressive with the people,
only on the ice. I'm sure that
if one got aggressive with the
ladies, it wouldn't be too good
anyway."
Questioned concerning his fu-
ture plans in respect to playing
pro hockey, Cartier sarcastically
replies, "I wouldn't mind. If
I'm good enough to play pro,
they'll come get me. If not, I
won't play."
If Punch doesn't play pro, he'd
like to "bum around for about
a year, then think again. If I
still haven't made a choice, bum
around for another year. There's
nothing happening in by head
about what I want to do or make
happen."
Cartier keeps himself busy
with all types of hobbies, and
says, "I think that everyone
should have a hobby." Cards,
chasing women, basketball, and
looking at people in bars (espe-
cially girls) are among his fa-
vorites.
Overall, Cartier accepts life
as it occurs. If things are going
right, he enjoys it; if not, he
doesn't worry about it because
he knows that he is putting forth
his best effort and things will.
be better sooner or later.

igan's Nub's Nob in quest of the
United States Ski Association's re-
gional championship.
The team, in only its second sea-
son of competition, is fresh from
a fine showing last weekend in a
meet * at Brighton. The 35 mem-
bers captured the men's first place
trophy while the girls captured
second place in their competition.
The top racer for Michigan was
Howard Richards, who copped
third place in the Class A event.
Finishing in the same class for the
women was Roberto Sonnino, who
is from Italy, and who has had
experience on the European Alpine
'circuit.
The team races almost every
weekend in meets sponsored by
the USSA or the Midwest Colle-
