John Hehir, as a standout in ice hockey and baseball you played a key role in one of Worcester State's most successful athletic eras. Your accomplishments are a tribute to your natural abilities and your determination.

You were a catcher in baseball and hit a lofty .346 for your career. You were a "defensive" defenseman in hockey and opposing players were well aware of your presence on the ice. You scored 13 goals and had 42 assists. You were a member of teams that went 55-24-2 and the 1971-72 team had an outstanding 21-3 season, the most wins in a season by a Lancer hockey team.

You were an All-City catcher in 1969 at Sacred Heart Academy and traveled around the country and Canada playing fast pitch softball for Interstate Batterymen for seven years. You were a member of the Athletic Council at Worcester State for three years. You coached youth hockey in Worcester for three years and Gehrig League baseball for four years.
