Burly ‘Chuck’ Conacher to Lead Chi Six
CHICAGO— Charlie “Chuck” Conacher, big right winger of Toronto Maple Leafs’ famed “Kid Line” of the 1930’s, is back in the National Hockey League again — but this time minus the skates and the potent war club that made him one of the big guns of the hockey world, and Leafs one of the most feared teams in the circuit. Chuck came back to the big time this week as coach of the cellar - dwelling Chicago Black Hawks, replacing Johnny Gottselig who moved “upstairs” to become General Manager of Bill Tobin’s squad. Thus the burly Chuck, starboard patrolman of the high-flying Kind Line, joins his younger brother Roy, who lined up with the Hawks this season after a salary dispute and holdout with Detroit Red Wings. Roy, after a lengthy holdout with…
I’il Take Hockey Any Time!

It was a clinch and stall and shove and “Please excuse my glove,” Till I blessed them with a healthy Irish curse. But for fighting, fast and free, grab your hat and come with…

Last season he took over the reins from C.B. Whitney and handled the club from the bench himself. Bill was born in Saskatoon, Sask., May 1920.
