<div class="byline">By LLOYD SAUNDERS</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0005-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-0143/901253-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>AB MCDOUGALL, CAPS&rsquo; ACE</b> <span class="photo-credit">(Prefers Amateur)</span></figcaption></div><p>REGINA, Sask.&mdash;</p><p>In this present day of ours, anything that happened in the world of sport wouldn&rsquo;t probably raise too many eyebrows. Last season Max Bentley and a rookie went to the Toronto Maple Leafs for five of the best hockey players on the Leaf lineup. Bob Feller in baseball picked up probably the largest salary ever paid to a baseball player. Then to climax a year of thrills, the cowboy Calgary Stampeders surmounted all the odds and triumphed over the Ottawa Roughriders to win the Grey Cup. These were all surprises in the sports world. Thus when the New York Rangers put out a call for Ab McDougall, veteran right winger of the Regina Caps in the western Canada Senior Hockey League, fans across the country weren&rsquo;t too surprised. In Regina Gus Phan was wondering why it hadn&rsquo;t happened earlier.</p><h2>Rangers Wanted Him</h2><p>At the start of the season the Rangers suffered a terrific blow when they lost the services of three stars in the automobile mishap. They needed replacements in a hurry, and they needed hockey players of N.H.L. calibre. One of the first contacted was diminutive Ab McDougall, slick right winger of the Regina Caps. However at 30 years of age, likeable Albert declined the offer, prefering to stay in the Queen City, play senior hockey, and look after his thriving Sporting Craft Business, that manufactures most of the athletic sweaters and jackets used by all sporting organizations in the province of Saskatchewan and many points in Western Canada.</p><p>McDougall, who is playing his second full season in the green and white of the Caps, is a beautiful hockey player. He skates at a terrific speed, yet manages to keep his stride rhythmic and graceful. He has a deliberate change of pace, and has the uncanny knack of being able to outwit opposing defensemen with his swivel hipped motions.</p><h2>Worries Goalkeepers</h2><p>McDougall cuts in from his right side, on the fashion of Sweeney Schriner, and during the course of game is a constant worry to rival goalkeepers. Last term the Medicine Hat product led the individual scoring parade for most of the season, giving way only in a stretch drive, to the veteran Morey Rimstad of the Allan Cup winning Edmonton Flyers.</p><p>&ldquo;Cagey Ab&rdquo; is a potent goal sniper and in his last season in the Pacific Coast League as member of Paul Thompson&rsquo;s Vancouver Canucks, drove Home no less than 64 goals to top the circuit in that department. This season he is again right up with the other pacesetters in the strong western loop, and seems headed for a banner campaign.</p><h2>Born In Calgary</h2><p>Ab was born in Calgary, Alberta, in 1919. He learned his early hockey in the foothills, city, moving to Medicine Hat when nine years old. &ldquo;Mac&rdquo; as he is sometimes called, took his hockey seriously after leaving public school, and was a star in minor ranks. He played junior for the Medicine Hat Tigers, and then joined the Calgary Stampeders in the old senior Alberta League.</p><p>After a few weeks with the Marty Burke coached club, McDougall found the going too tough, and was moved to Turner Valley Oilers in the same loop. McDougall wasn&rsquo;t good enough for the Cowboys in that year, but we imagine he would be a big cog in their machine this year, and welcomed with open arms.</p><h2>Joined Orioles</h2><p>In 1941 he headed down across the line, and joined the ranks of the Baltimore Orioles of the Eastern Amateur United States Circuit. &mdash; The Orioles of that year were handled from the bench by Elmer Piper, a onetime amateur great with the old North Battle-ford Beavers and the Saskatoon Quakers. The next season McDougall was in the service of his country as a member of the Navy, and while stationed at Calgary played with the powerful club there. That team had men like Sweeney Schriner, Eddie Wares, Doug Cairns, Sugar Jim Henry, Eddie Slowinski, Hughie Millar.</p><p>Upon discharge in 1945 Ab headed out to the Pacific Coast and played for Paul Thompson and Coley Hall.</p><p>He had his best year on the coast, but during the off season headed west and lined up with Joe Fisher in Regina. This is Ab&rsquo;s second full season with the Capitol City entry, and sport fans in the Queen City hope he&rsquo;ll be around for a long time.</p><h2>Plays To Win</h2><p>McDougall is a likeable athlete, who lives clean and plays the game to win. He&rsquo;s a serious thinker, and respected by young and old. He&rsquo;s had several chances to move into the big time, and two years ago had a chance to join the Toronto Leafs&hellip; but like the Ranger offer this year, Mac figured he&rsquo;d have a longer hockey life in amateur.</p><p>Although the Medicine Hat product has been slow getting into high gear this term, his recent performances indicate, he&rsquo;s on the road again to new scoring records. Whenever the 5&rsquo;9&rdquo;, 1751b. winger cuts in on goal there&rsquo;s trouble for the net guardian. By following the Hockey News, we&rsquo;re willing to bet you&rsquo;ll find the name McDougall right up at the top of the scoring ladder.</p><p>When we asked Ab about this year&rsquo;s edition of the Regina Caps, he answered, &ldquo;This is our year for the Allan Cup. We have the coach and players to make the grade and I certainly hope we don&rsquo;t disappoint&rdquo;. That&rsquo;s Ab McDougall speaking podner, and if you&rsquo;ve seen him in action you&rsquo;ll know he means business.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

RICHARD JOINS THE SELECT 200 CLUB

<p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Maurice &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; Richard, pride of Montreal Canadiens, became the 17 th National Hockey League player of modern times to score 200 goals in regular league play. The flying right winger turned the trick-Saturday, January 15th as his club downed Chicago Black Hawks 7-1 with Richard netting three times.</p><p>Probably no player since the late Howie Morenz has captured the immagination of Montreal fans the way Richard has. Maurice netted his double century in less time than any other N.H.L. sniper. He did it in six-and-a-half years which speaks volumes for his eagle eye and wicked shot.</p><p>The quiet-spoken French Canadien has left a trail of broken records behind him. He holds the mark for scoring the most goals in a single league season of 50 which he turned in during the 1944-45 season. He netted a goal-a-game that year.</p><h2>ANOTHER RECORD</h2><p>While playing against Detroit Red Wings, on December 28, 1944, &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; scored five times and added three assists for eight points. That record still stands as the most points for an N.H.L. player in a single game.</p><p>The Flying Habitant also has a tight grip on the most points recorded by a right wing in a single season. He did it during the 1944-45 campaign with 50 markers and 23 assists for 73 points in 50 games.</p><p>In the 1943-44 Stanley Cup playoffs, Richard scored 12 goals in nine games for another record to bear his name. He also shares the most counters registered during a single playoff contest, with &ldquo;Toe&rdquo; Blake, former Canadien, both have five.</p><h2>HART TROPHY</h2><p>In 1946-47 Maurice was the winner of the Hart Trophy awarded annually to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team.</p><p>Other players of modern times who have 200. goals of better are: Nels Stewart 323, Howie Morens 270, Aurel Joliat 270, Harvey (Busher) Jackson 243, Syd Howe 237, Bill Cook 228, Dit Clapper 228. Hector Toe Blake 226, Charlie Conacher 225, Sy Dennenny 216, Lome Carr 204, Herb Cain 202, Babe Dye 202, Dave Schriner 201, Syl Apps 201, and Reg &ldquo;Hooley&rdquo; Smith 200.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Habitant Flyer Turns In Hat Trick Against The Chicago Black Hawks

<div class="byline">By JIM VIPOND</div><p>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>&ldquo;Better drop around and see Archie Campbell!&rdquo;</p><p>That is practically the initial advice of managers, coaches and trainers whenever an athlete comes a cropper.</p><p>And it matters not that the injured competitor be male or female, pigskin star, puck chaser, fly catcher, wielder of the gutted stick, track and field adherent, cage star, boxer, swimmer or jockey. All beat a well-worn trail to the rubbing table of the chairman of the Ontario Association of Masseurs.</p><p>Not only does that trail wind through practically every playing field and sports building in the Greater Toronto area, ailing players repeatedly sweep down on the Campbell liniment headquarters by the earload from Hamilton, St Catharines and Peterborough to mention only a few localities.</p><p>Famous ballet dancers, too have Archie Campbell to thank for conditioning them for the difficult routines which their profession demands.</p><h2>Helped Leafs</h2><p>Campbell, whose supple hands played a big part in readying the world champion Toronto Maple Leafs physically for their final stretch drive to the Stanley Cup last spring, has been smoothing out the aches and pains of athletes for more than 31 years. If his health permits, he will probably still be bending over some football or hockey star another 31 years hence.</p><p>This 51-year-old self-trained conditioner of athletes, celebrity and neophyte alike, prides himself that he is not the trainer of any particular team in any particular league.</p><p>&ldquo;To me a well conditioned athlete is like a beautiful painting&rdquo;, Archie explains. &ldquo;I like to look after them all. They may be rival players in the same league but I do my utmost to get them in condition for the next game&rdquo;.</p><p>A couple of seasons ago Campbell ostensibly retired as a full time trainer with the hockey Leafs, but he has been so busy with the players ever since that he has no time to put the public announcement into effect.</p><p>Last spring, when the Stanley Cup play-offs started, he cancelled all other appointments and concentrated on the Leafs, travelling to their St. Catharines training camp and on to Boston and Detroit with his equipment. He worked day and night keeping the players in as perfect physical shape as possible.</p><p>When the final game ended in Detroit, with Toronto retaining the world championship, and the players swarmed on to the ice in the first flush of exhilarating victory, it was with a sense of personal pride that Campbell turned to this observer and said: &ldquo;That&rsquo;s the best team, mentally and physically, that I have looked after in my 31 years&rsquo; experience&rdquo;.</p><p>He later augmented those remarks when he declared that he had never seen a team like the Leafs of last spring. &ldquo;The further they went the better they became. There was no team in the world that could have beaten them in that final game&rdquo;.</p><h2>Always Busy</h2><p>It would be hard to say when Campbell&rsquo;s season starts, sufficient that it never ends. In the fall he looks after football players from high school kids to senior stars. Toronto Balmy Beach is his favorite team. He has been handling the east-enders since 1934 and it is his fervent hope that they will win him a Dominion title before he dies.</p><p>After football comes hockey, with attention divided among the pros and outstanding amateur teams. He always manages, however, to find time to work on even the most inexperienced and youngest of athletes. Many a kid in the flourishing Toronto Hockey League, with its hundreds of teams, has been rubbed down by Archie Campbell.</p><p>Basketball too claims his attention. Boxers seek his help. In the spring it&rsquo;s ball players, track and field men and women (he was invited to train Canada&rsquo;s Olympic team but could not get away in time), lacrosse enthusiasts and soccerists.</p><p>When the horses start campaigning on the Ontario tracks the jockeys regularly seek Campbell&rsquo;s services, and Archie maintains that the little guys who perch precariously on the backs of the thundering thoroughbreds take a terrific physical beating.</p><h2>First War Veteran</h2><p>Campbell was born in Toronto. He celebrated his 18th birthday in mid-Atlantic in 1914, European bound with the 48th Highlanders a few weeks after the outbreak of the first World War.</p><p>Back in eivvle street years later, he learned his trainer&rsquo;s trade under the guidance of the late Percy Ryan, well known Toronto conditioner. In 1933 he was stricken with a steptococcus infection. He was badly crippled.</p><p>&ldquo;They told me my wife would soon be drawing a widow&rsquo;s allowance,&rdquo; Archie recalls, &ldquo;but I fooled them. I started riding a bicycle and in three months I was back at work</p><p>Campbell&rsquo;s legion of friends will tell you that ne survived because he was filled with some of the same never-day-die spirit which permeates another famous sports figure who fought back to health when the odds were overwhelmingly against his ever walking again.

The Heckey News

<p>MONTREAL, Que.-</p><p>Coach Dick Irvin is astute in a good many ways. Apart from being an able hockey mentor, the silver-thatched Irvin can sense the making of a good story. And it was this consciousness of what sports scribes should pass along to their readers that prompted him recently to chide one of them with this remark:</p><p>&ldquo;How is it that you fellows are always asking us to tell you about our greatest thrill in hockey but none of you ever thinks of asking us about our biggest disappointment?&rdquo; Well, that was a challenge that could hardly be allowed to drop. What&rsquo;s more natural than that the sports scribe should reply: &ldquo;That&rsquo;s a good idea! Tell us about your biggest disappointment.&rdquo;</p><h2>Goes Way Back</h2><p>Dick didn&rsquo;t need any further urging. The glint in his eyes made it plain that he had angled for the opening. Now he intended to produce.</p><p>&ldquo;It goes back to the time that I had just started to coach in the N.H.L.,&rdquo; said Dick. &lsquo;&lsquo;It was while I was with Chicago. In the season of 1930-31 to be exact.&rdquo;</p><p>Dick hesitated a moment and you could see that he was re-living his &ldquo;most disappointing&rdquo; moment.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;d moved into the Stanley Cup final against Montreal Canadiens. That was in the days of Morenz and Aurel Joliat, the Manthas and Johnny Gagnon &mdash; the Chicoutimi Black Cat. It was a best-of-five series and it went the limit.</p><h2>Canadiens Did it</h2><p>&ldquo;Well, the final game was in Montreal and it was a humdinger. Johnny Gagnon scored for Canadiens and then Morenz came through with a clinching goal near the end on a breakaway and they beat us 2-0 in the deciding game for the Stanley Cup. That&rsquo;s the biggest disappointment I&rsquo;ve ever had in hockey.&rdquo;</p><p>Continued Dick:</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve had a lot of thrills since then. Winning the Stanley Cup with Toronto Maple Leafs. Winning it with Canadiens. But that series that we lost when I was coach of Chicago was really a heartbreaker. I&rsquo;ll never forget it.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Irvin Looks Back To Tell Of His Biggest Puck Disappointment

<div class="byline">By LEN BRAMSON</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0003-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0120/901115-1-eng-US/f0003-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>He&rsquo;s In Now!</b></p><p><b>LEONARD &ldquo;RED&rdquo; KELLY</b></p></figcaption></div><p class="dropcap"><span>W</span>hen Red Kelly stepped on the ice to play his first National Hockey League game last season a boyhood dream came true. Red&rsquo;s boyhood dreams stretch back to the days when he used to sit beside his radio in Simcoe, Ontario, on Saturday nights and listen to Foster Hewitt describe the Toronto Maple Leafs&rsquo; home games. The names of Red Horner and Syl Apps played sweet tunes in his ears and he used to dream about the time he would be able to whip up and down the huge sheet of ice in the Maple Leaf Gardens as his two favourites were doing.</p><p>Red&rsquo;s father is a tobacco farmer who graduated from St. Michael&rsquo;s College in Toronto and he wanted his son to do the same, so it was a happy day for young Kelly when he packed his grip and headed for St. Mike&rsquo;s. He knew that he was entering a college that had produced more great hockey stars than any other college in Canada.</p><p>Three years later Kelly stepped from the junior A team at St. Mike&rsquo;s to the red and white cf the Red Wings in one hop and nobody in either the Kelly family or the Wings organization is sorry for it. He is rated one of the steadiest youngsters ever to make the big jump.</p><h2>Just Lucky</h2><p>How did he do it? The young man with the flaming red hair doesn&rsquo;t know himself. He just says he&rsquo;s lucky. But actually Detroit had their eye on him for a long time and at their camp in Kitchener last season he so impressed Manager Jack Adams that he was offered a contract.</p><p>&ldquo;When I was offered that contract to play in Detroit it was the bigest surprise of my life,&rdquo; Kelly told your reporter. &ldquo;I figured that if I signed pro I would be sent to Omaha or to the Pacific Coast but never with the Wings.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;Were you nervous when you stepped on the ice for your first game?&rdquo; we asked.</p><p>&ldquo;I was as nervous as hang,&rdquo; was his reply.</p><p>On the ice Kelly is cool, calm and collected. He seldom lets his temper get the best of him and consequently makes few trips to the penalty box. Red is rated as a clever blocker. Preferring to be a poke checker, he would rather play the puck than the opposing player. It a replica of the style used by Red&rsquo;s defense mate Bill Quackenbush and evidently it pays off. Right now Detroit is on top of the National Hockey League and Quackenbush is the leading defense scorer in the loop. Playing together last season Bill and Red totalled less than 20 minutes in the sin bin.</p><h2>High Praise</h2><p>When Jolly Jawn Adams signed the young Irishman to a contract last season he described him as follows.</p><p>&ldquo;Kelly isn&rsquo;t a crasher. He&rsquo;s more the Quackenbush type. He&rsquo;s a blocker, a good rusher, puck carrier and passer, He&rsquo;s hockey smart.&rdquo;</p><p>Carson Cooper, Detroit&rsquo;s sharp-eyed talent scout, spotted Red and pinched him from the Leafs&rsquo; own back yard. When Kelly signed his professional contract it was the climax to a three year wait by the Wings while he attended college.</p><p>Young Red hasn&rsquo;t always been a defenseman. When he first joined the junior A team at St. Mike&rsquo;s he was a left winger but the club ran a little short of rearguards so coach Joe Primeau dropped him and Ed Sandford now of the Boston Bruins, back to the blueline. Later on in the season Sandford went back to the forward line but Kelly remained on defense.</p><h2>St. Mike&rsquo;s Boy</h2><p>Red attended St. Michael&rsquo;s for four years where he took a general course. It had been said that he was going to study to be a priest but he never actually had his mind set on it. His first two years at the college were spent playing junior B but the third one is the one he likes to remember. That year the powerful St. Mike&rsquo;s played a seven game Memorial Cup final series with the Winnipeg Monarchs. Not until the final period of the seventh game was the outcome determined. In that final 20 minutes George Robertson, now with the Montreal Canadiens scored two goals and gave the Monarchs the Memorial Cup.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to remember that final game for a long time,&rdquo; said Red, it was a big disappointment but it. was also the biggest thrill and suspense filling game I have ever played in.&rdquo;</p><p>The following season the Double Blue, with Kelly on defense made no mistakes and brought, the silver ware home to the college for the second time in three years.</p><h2>A Quiet Pair</h2><p>On the road Kelly and Bill Quackenbush room together and they are reputed to be the quietest twosome in the N.H.L. It was once written that an exchange of more than three words daily when they are rooming together causes one or the other to claim that there is too much conversation going on.</p><p>We turned away from hockey tor a minute and asked Red what he does during the summer months.</p><p>&ldquo;I work on my father&rsquo;s tobacco farm, but I don&rsquo;t smoke or drink,&rdquo; he hastily went on.</p><p>Red, now 26 years old, is one of five children. He has one brother and three sisters all of whom are rabid Wings fans. When Red is in Toronto the family usually make the trip to see him play. His father never misses.</p><p>&ldquo;I guess he&rsquo;d walk ten miles to see us play.&rdquo; laughed Red.</p><h2>Loves The Sport</h2><p>So much love has Red for the sport he now makes his living at that he has been known to travel miles through snowdrifts to attend practices at Port Dover and Simcoe when he was in his early teens.</p><p>Returning to hockey your reporter asked Red just whom he found the hardest players in the N.H.L. to stop.</p><p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s good players on every team in the league,&rsquo;&rsquo; he replied. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s pretty hard to stop Richard, the Bentleys are a tricky couple and so is Milt Schmidt. They&rsquo;re all good.&rdquo;</p><p>A hockey player&rsquo;s life isn&rsquo;t all skating and upper and lower berths and he knows that only too well. Probably the funniest joke ever to be played on a rookie was pulled on Kelly last season.</p><p>Following a slight car accident in Detroit a policeman handed both Red and the other offender a summons to appear in court the following morning at 8:30. He made his biggest mistake When he told Jack Adams about it. Right away Adams fixed up a phoney trial for his new rookie and had Jack Stewart volunteer as his lawyer.</p><h2>Some Trial!</h2><p>When Kelly and the other driver went to court the next morning the judge set the trial for 12:30 that day. However the other offender couldn&rsquo;t turn up and Kelly appeared alone and of course with Stewart as his attorney.</p><p>The whole team went to the court house, everybody but Kelly knowing that it was a fake trial. The judge was ushered into the court with the usual formalities and the court clerk called the case of the State versus Leonard Kelly, who by this time was getting a little worried. But Red hadn&rsquo;t seen the worst, he was to have a trial by jury and when 13 old women entered the room to act as the jury the red head nearly passed out. He wasn&rsquo;t quite sure if it was all a joke but he managed to find a big smile. But the judge apparently was a good actor and warned Red that his was a serious affair. The climax came when Jack Stewart got up to defend him. As a defense attorney big Jack would have sent his client away to jail for life.</p><p>The judge finally fined Kelly two goals and told him that his attorney acted more like a prosecutor.</p><p>All in all Red is quite a boy. He has won the hearts of players and officials throughout the league by his ability to completely express himself without the use of invective.</p><p>He may not be picked for any All-Star teams but he is certainly going to be around the N.H.L. for a long time to come.</p><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0217/901108-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="1140" height="1275"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-0310/901101-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg" title="f0003-03" width="1732" height="1277"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>NON-LOQUACIOUS ROOMMATES of the Red Wings are Red Kelly and Bill Quackenbush, shown in the photo at left.

Ridder, of St. Paul.</p><p>An ambassador of the game for many years, he is now a director of the United States Amateur Hockey Association and President of the Minnesota State Amateur Hockey Association. A former New Yorker, having been born in New York City in 1919, and graduate of the Harvard University, he always had a yen for athletics and has been a follower of hockey of the &ldquo;First Water&rdquo; from his earliest recollections of the sport. &ldquo;I know of no other game that can approach it, and 1 never cease to wonder at the speed and almost reckless abandonment of the participants,&rdquo; he commented.</p><p>While his only experience as a player was confined to his high school years as a goalie, he never missed an opportunity to further the encouragement of the game.</p><p>Evidence of his ardent enthusiasm was revealed shortly after he left college to go to Duluth and become associated with the Duluth Herald News-Tribune. He managed a team for the News-Tribune in an Industrial league one year and a Coast Guard team another.</p><p>After World War II, when the Northern Amateur Hockey league expanded, Bob was elected to the vice - presidency and in the 1946-47 season was delegated to go east to confer with officials of the United States Amateur Hockey Association with regard to the affilation of the N.A.H.A. with that body.</p><p>Upon his election as director of the U.S.A.H.A. at a meeting in Duluth in the fall of 1947, Ridder launched a campaign that was destined to make the State of Minnesota the largest of any State under the U.S.A.H.A banner from the standpoint of membership.</p><p>Questioned as to what he did to spark the enthusiasm that now sees amateur hockey moving toward its greatest heights in the mid - west, he modestly said, &ldquo;With the backing of the U.S.A.- H.A. and the Northern Amateur Hockey League, I went about organizing the Minnesota State Amateur Hockey Association with other Minnesota hockey enthusiasts such as Lyle Wright, of Minneapolis; John O&rsquo;Halloran, of St. Paul; Don Clark, of Anoka; Rus Embury, of Thief River Falls; Joe Nelson, of Eveleth; Ed Klapprick, of Wayzata; Buck Riley, of International Falls; Don Peterson, of Mankato; Ivan Holland, of Pine City; Don Near, of St. Paul; Bucky Johnson, of Minneapolis and many others.&rdquo;</p><p>In December of 1947 the Minnesota State Amateur Hockey Association came into being at a representative meeting in St. Paul with Ridder being the unanimous choice as its first president.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Amateur Hockey Booms In Minnesota Under Drive Of Bob Ridder

<p>Founded October 1, 1947</p><p>Published by Hockey News Company, 603A Sun Life Building. Montreal, Que.</p><p>Yearly Subscription Price $2.50 in Canada&mdash;$3.50 in U.S.A.</p><p>Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa.</p><p>Printed in Canada</p><p>Vol. 2 January 19, 1949 No. 16</p><h2><b>GIVE THEM A BREAK!</b></h2><p>Although hockey scorers perform their duties in obscurity and a state of anonymity to most fans, few officials with the exception of the harassed referees have so much criticism heaped upon their heads.</p><p>No matter which way they turn, it seems, they are sure to be found fault with. If a local favorite on the home team seems to be in on a scoring play and isn&rsquo;t given an assist &mdash; blame the scorer. If an opposing player high up in the point parade gets what looks like an easy assist, the scorer takes the rap for helping him along.</p><p>At the end of the season, if the scoring race is close and is decided by the high number of assists one player has collected, &mdash; then his home town scorers are accused of favoritism &mdash; they &ldquo;packed&rdquo; the assists for their man and helped him into the championship, fans in enemy cities are sure to declaim.</p><p>Yet the records belie that. Taking a close glance at the National Hockey League scoring and assist records for the current season, the observer finds that the scorers as a whole are doing a good job, with a very minimum of local favoritism being shown.</p><p>The home club players in every N.H.L. city collect more assists than the visitors, it&rsquo;s true, but with the exception of one or two cities the difference is slight. What little discrepancy there is can usually be explained by the fact that the scorers are more familiar with the home team players, since they see them more often. It isn&rsquo;t always easy to pick out the exact men taking part in any play, and unless the scorer is absolutely familiar with each and every one, some omissions are always bound to crop up.</p><p>Most often singled out for criticism are the Chicago scorers. This has been due mainly to the fact that when the play-making Bentley brothers were both in Hawk uniforms, they always racked up a large total of assists &mdash; usually enough to put them at the top of the heap or very near it. The obvious conclusion was that the scorers were giving them a home town break.</p><p>But while the Windy City scorers rank second in the league for the number of assists marked up, they actually hand out nearly as many to visiting teams and the gap between home and visitors&rsquo; assists is the smallest in the entire circuit.</p><p>The ratio of assists to goals for the home team in Chicago is 1.49. That is, for every goal scored by a Black Hawk an average of 1.49 assists are allocated. For visiting teams the assists-to-goal ratio is 1.42, both these figures being taken at the halfway mark in the schedule.</p><p>Toronto has the highest assists ratio in the league for the home club. Figures show that Leaf players get 1.52 assists for every goal scored, while the visitors had only a 1.24 ratio with the season half over. The difference was almost as pronounced in Madison Square Garden, New York, where home players get 1.45 assists for every goal, while the visitors eke out a mere 1.19.</p><p>In Boston, the half-way figures are 1.36 for the Bruins and 1.16 for the visitors, and in the Montreal Forum the homesters have an advantage of 1.30 to 1.15. The Detroit Olympia scorers stack up as the toughest in the N.H.L. to drag assists from. They allotted only 1.23 assists per goal for the local Wings, and 1.12 for the visiting firemen.</p><p>Usually the home club enjoys an advantage at the start of the season, before the visitors become well known to the scorers, but this tends to balance out as the year wears along. This is borne out by a comparison with scoring figures at the quarter mark in the schedule. In all cases except that of Montreal, the homesters had a greater advantage at the earlier stage than they have now.</p><p>In Montreal, with one-quarter of the games played, the Habs were allotted a 1.34 assists ratio and visitors 1.33. New York shows a vast improvement, since at the quarter-way stage the home players were ahead 1.53 against 1.06 in assists. Toronto &mdash; a playmaker&rsquo;s paradise this season, had a record of 1.61 and 1.36; Chicago came up with 1.44 and 1.37; Boston checked in with 1.42 and 1.13; while Detroit&rsquo;s ratios were 1.26 and 1.04 for the home team and visitors respectively.</p><p>All in all, the scorers are turning in a good job. They deserve more praise than they usually get.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

You then said that in the next four seasons he played with Detroit, Pittsburgh Hornets, Indianapolis and Providence. These are not all Detroit affiliates and if he signed a contract, how could he play for these teams?</p><p>Joseph Lechleader Ridgewood, N.Y.</p><p>(Clubs who own various player rights may rarm that player out on loan to any club so that he may gain experience).</p><h2>CAN&rsquo;T PICK &lsquo;EM ALL</h2><p>Dear Sir.</p><p>As a reader of your paper, it makes me wonder what some players have to do to be chosen your &ldquo;Player-of-the-Week&rdquo;.</p><p>I follow the N.H.L. very closely and think that Roy Conacher of Chicago Black Hawks has certainly earned your Player-of-the-Week Award with his rapid climb in the last three weeks. As the records show, he has scored some important goals.</p><p>Norman Lamont Toronto, Ont.</p><h2>FARRELL CHAMPION</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>The letter from a Prince Rupert B.C. reader regarding Dave Farrell&rsquo;s article on Milt Schmidt was amusing. Mr. MacIsaac should realize that Dave Farrell is entitled to his opinion and if he is &ldquo;enthusiastic&rdquo; in his style to watch Milt Schmidt play without reaching the conclusion that he is a super-star, one of the all-time greats of hockey. Many of us agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Farrell&rsquo;s remark, at the game time holding the greatest respect not only for those brilliant centers Syl Apps, who for years stood out for the Leafs, and Max Bentley, but also for Buddy O&rsquo;Connor Maurice Richard, Doug Bentley, Jack Stewart and other outstanding players. I&rsquo;m sure they&rsquo;re all terrific hockey stars. Should the reader from B.C. disagree with Dave Farrell&rsquo;s opinion, let him by all means plug for his own choice rather than slam Farrell&rsquo;s, for if you can&rsquo;t take part in a sport &mdash; be one anyway!</p><p>I hope THE HOCKEY NEWS sees fit to run an article at some time on the Hot Stove League and also on the hockey announcers for each N.H.L club. Best wishes for continued success.</p><p>Eileen F. Rickarby Dorchester, Mass.</p><h2>BETTER DUCK, ED</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Here&rsquo;s a letter in answer to Ed Bannett in your December 15 issue. If you think it&rsquo;s going to cause a fight, you&rsquo;d better wave me to the penalty box. I&rsquo;ve got a feeling that I&rsquo;d like to take the privilege of pulling off my gloves, dropping my stick and taking a swing at Ed.</p><p>As far as I&rsquo;m concerned, and I imagine there are lots of fans with the same opinion, stories like the one about Lolly Hopkins all add to the color of our great winter pastime. I am also pleased to see the boys of the minor league ice lanes get the greatest coverage. After all, some day some of these boys will be the big league stars.</p><p>The boys fighting it out over the bluelines of the present N.H.L. cities aren&rsquo;t going to lose any publicity. They receive pretty fair coverage in the daily newspaper.</p><p>And to all Interested in the Memorial Cup, watch the Brandon Wheat Kings this coming spring.</p><p>You can let me back on the ice, ref., I feel better now.</p><p>Wayne Frost. Fruitvale, B.C.</p><h2>NOT PUBLISHED</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>Will you please tell me where I can secure the Boston Bruin hockey book? Congrats on your fine paper and keep up the good work.</p><p>David Litvack Montreal, Que.</p><p>(The book is not being published this year).</p><h2>ALLAN STANLEY FAN</h2><p>Dear Sir.</p><p>How about a story on the newest and greatest rookie in the National Hockey League, Allan Stanley? Could you tell me the first names of Bill Mosienko&rsquo;s brothers playing hockey in the Maritimes?</p><p>June MacKay New Glasgow, N.S.</p><p>(Their names are Harry and Jim. We will have a story on Stanley shortly.)</p><h2>AND A BRICKBAT!</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I too agree with Edward Bannett&rsquo;s recent letter regarding the few short pieces you print on the N.H.L. I enjoy reading about other leagues, but not quite that much. For instance, in your December issue, I could see but three articles on the N.H.L., and very small ones at that.</p><p>I know all my friends who were greatly enthused over your paper at the start are seriously considering discontinuing it. Chuck Ashbee came up with a good suggestion about publishing two papers. In the N.H.L. paper you could leave out all but the vital statistics and team standings of other leagues and concentrate on the N.H.L. How about taking a poll?</p><p>Please tell me what happened to Jean Paul Lamirande, who played defense with New York Rangers last season. Where is he now and what is he doing?</p><p>I notice you print all letters of praise about your paper in the Fan Forum. I&rsquo;m anxious to see how fair-minded you are and if you can stand a little well-deserved criticism.</p><p>J. O&rsquo;Brien. New York, N. Y.</p><p>(Well, are we fair - minded? Lamirande is playing with New Haven Ramblers in the A.H.L., but has been a holdout until recently.</p><h2>LEAF SUPPORTER</h2><p>Dear Sir.</p><p>How about printing some pictures of Ray Timgren, Harry Taylor and Ray Ceresino? My favorite team are the Toronto Maple Leafs and my favorite player was Syl Apps. Now that Syl has retired, Ted Kennedy and Max Bentley are my favorites.</p><p>Donald MacHarvey Adams, Sask.</p><h2>PROGRAM EXCHANGE</h2><p>I would like to put in my plea for programs from either the N. H.L., A.H.L. U.S.H.L., P.C.H.L. or O.H.A.</p><p>Maybe I could send something in exchange, a souvenir of Saskatchewan.</p><p>George Hanson Shellbrook, Sask.</p><p>(George&rsquo;s address is simply, Shellbrook, Sask.).</p><h2>WANTS RECORD BOOK</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I hope you can help me out by telling me if you have any hockey guides and record books for sale, printed prior to 1948. If you haven&rsquo;t, would you be kind enough to tell me where I could purchase same?</p><p>George Gottfried. Bronx. N.Y.</p><p>(Try writing Can. Am. Publications, 524 Roanoke Bldg., Minneapolis 2, Minn.).</p><h2>WANT CONTESTS</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I agree with Herbert McDonnell who says that it&rsquo;s a good idea to boost our favorites instead of running others down. In early issues of THE HOCKEY NEWS you promised weekly contests. I have been a subscriber since your paper was first issued and I haven&rsquo;t seen a contest yet. The crosswords have been omitted much too often also.</p><p>I am hoping fora story on Murray Henderson as soon as you can find room to publish it.</p><p>Bruce C. Somers Passumpsic, Vermont.</p><p>(How about a few suggestions from you readers on ideas for a contest? We haven&rsquo;t been able to iron out the details for a decent contest so far).</p><h2>HALL OF FAME</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I would like some detailed information on all hockey players who have been admitted to the Hall of Fame, such as their teams and what positions they played, etc,</p><p>I have tried to get this information locally but it is not available so I have decided to write you. I have the &ldquo;Hockey Guide&rdquo; and &ldquo;Who&rsquo;s Who in Hockey&rdquo; (1948) but it only mentions what players have been admitted. If you cannot give me this information I would appreciate you telling me where I could obtain same. Has the Hockey Hall of Fame been built yet?</p><p>Eugene Pottratz Omaha, Neb.</p><p>(An extensive story on Hockey&rsquo;s Hall of Fame is being prepared, to appear soon in THE HOCKEY NEWS. The Hockey Hall of Fame has not been built yet).</p><h2>ONLY ONE NOW</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>During the past two years, as you probably know, a small booklet was sold in Boston and New York giving the history and statistics of the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers respectively. I found them to be very interesting reading and wonder if similar publications are available or have been written about other teams in the National Hockey League.</p><p>W. A. McCallum Valparaiso, Ind.</p><p>(Rangers and Bruins are the only N.H.L. teams to publish such a book at. the present time).</p><h2>MORE PICTURES</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I am an admirer of THE HOCKEY NEWS but I feel that something else should be added. Many of your fans have written in suggesting more pictures. I suggest that you have a full page of action pictures of games played the previous week and containing pictures from not only the National Hockey League but from others. I 1ike the National better, but there are others who prefer A.H. L., etc.</p><p>I suggest that this page of action pictures appear in or near the middle of the paper. I realize that it may bo hard to secure pictures but I really think this might increase the circulation of your paper,</p><p>Harvey Saperstein Detroit, Mich.</p><h2>PRETTY GOOD RECORD</h2><p>Dear Sir,</p><p>I am a subscriber to THE HOCKEY NEWS and I enjoy it very much. I have a question to ask concerning Toronto Maple Leafs. Could you please tell me how many times the Maple Leafs have won the Stanley Cup and what were the years?</p><p>Les Wray, Jr. Winnipeg.

Richard therefore wins the Morgan Hat Award.</p><p>His three counters gave Maurice a life time N.H.L. total of 200 goals and entered him in that select circle of all time greats who have turned in this feat. When the huge crowd, which filled Montreal Forum, were informed that &ldquo;The Rocket&rdquo; had netted his 200th counter, they gave him a tremendous ovation which lasted for several minutes.</p><p>Playing his sixth season with Montreal, Richard holds the record of netting 50 goals in one season.

As he sat in his Stratford home in the fall of 1923 awaiting the call from the Montreal Canadiens to report to the training camp, he wondered whether he would make good in professional hockey.</p><p>The Flying Frenchmen of Montreal! The famous Habitants of old Hochelaga! The thought of playing with this almost legendary club, the oldest in professional hockey, scared him.</p><p>But Howie was determined to succeed.

In the nets, the Habitants had the late Georges Vezina, known throughout Canada as &ldquo;the Chicoutimi Cucumber&rsquo;&rsquo;.</p><p>On the defense, the Canadiens had the celebrated Sprague Cleghorn, roughest and one of the best o&rsquo; all the backline hoisters, and Biliv Coutu, who was just as adept as Sprague when it came to &ldquo;laying on the wood.&rdquo;</p><p>Billy Boucher, one of the famous brothers of that name in hockey, patrolled right wing, and shifty little Aurel Joliat held down left wing.</p><p>At center, the position Howie was expected to take over, was the brilliant and popular veteran, Odie Cleghorn, brother of Sprague, and for many years mainstay of the Canadiens&rsquo; attack.</p><p>&lsquo;&lsquo;I stood dazzled for a moment near the rail as the veterans flew up and down the ice,&rdquo; Howie told me, in recalling his first day at camp. &ldquo;They looked to me like so many thoroughbreds turned out in a green pasture for the first time after long months in the barn. Back and forth they sped, passing the puck around, as I stood at the boards, wishing I was back home.&rdquo;</p><p>But he wasn&rsquo;t left dreaming very long. &ldquo;All right there, Howie,&rdquo; a rude shout awakened him. &ldquo;Get in there at center between Boucher and Joliat and let&rsquo;s see what you can do.&rdquo;</p><h2>Howie Fits In</h2><p>The speaker was Leo Dandurand, manager and part owner of the Canadiens, ordering Howie Morenz to line up with the regular forwards.</p><p>And from the moment that the Stratford Streak took up his position between the clever wings until he was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks in the fall of 1934, he was the regular center for the Flying Frenchmen.</p><p>Howie resembled a perpetually startled jack rabbit that day. He literally flew up and down the ice, working in perfectly with his wings from the start. While Odie Cleghorn sat on the sidelines resting, he said to a bystander, as Morenz tore by him along the boards:</p><p>&ldquo;There goes my job. The way that kid is travelling out there today, I&rsquo;d need a plane to catch him.&rdquo;</p><p>Eleven days after that work-out with the Habitants, Howie saw action in his first major league game. There were four clubs in the National Hockey League that year&mdash;the Ottawa Senators, the Toronto St. Pats, the Hamilton Tigers, and the Canadiens.</p><p>The Canadiens drew the Toronto St. Pats as their opponents in the first game of the season. Howie didn&rsquo;t score in the opening game, but all the papers said the next day that Leo Dandurand had come up with one of the best finds in years, and that Morenz had been the outstanding man on the ice both on the attack and defense.</p><p>But it wasn&rsquo;t in the cards for the Stratford Streak to go scoreless, and in his third game, played at Ottawa on December 28, 1923, Howie whirled his way through the mighty Senators to score his first goal as a professional.</p><p>No one can accuse Morenz of having selected a weak team to tally his first marker against. The Senators, holders of the Stanley Cup at the time, have frequently been referred to as one of the game&rsquo;s greatest teams.</p><p>Among their many stars were &ldquo;Sleepy&rdquo; Clint Benedict, George &ldquo;Buck&rdquo; Boucher, Frank Nighbor. Frank &ldquo;King&rdquo; Clancy, Lionel Hitchman, Cy Denneny, and Harry &ldquo;Punch&rdquo; Broadbent.</p><h2>Faces Clint Benedict</h2><p>Benedict was in the nets for the Senators at the time. Howie tried hard from the opening faceoff to score. He had combined with Joliat and Boucher on many promising rushes, only to see them broken up either by Nighbor, the &ldquo;poke-check king&rdquo;, at center ice, or by the hard-hitting Ottawa defense.</p><p>Howie snapped up the rubber back of his own goal. He was off like a shot on one of his headlong rushes. He tried to slip along the boards; but Broadbent, who was famous for his ability at crashing attacking players into the boards if they tried to get through that way. forced him to the center.</p><p>Here, Nighbor awaited Howie with his long sweeping stick. Nighbor was the backbone of the vaunted Ottawa defense. Seldom did a forward pass him and still retain possession of the rubber; but when Howie came up to him, there wasn&rsquo;t much Nighbor could do.</p><p>As he poked at the rubber, Howie slipped it through his skates, hurdled Nighbor&rsquo;s stick, and was around him in a flash to retrieve the puck. His task, however, had just begun. He still had Buck Boucher and Hitchman to get past.</p><p>Joliat, always thinking, was lurking on Morenz&rsquo;s left as a decoy. and Boucher kept an eye on him. As Buck moved just a fraction to his right, Morenz was through with a terrific burst of speed, splitting the defense perfectly. He fired from a few feet out without slackening speed, and the disk sped true as an arrow to a high corner of the net.</p><p>Howie finished his first season in a blaze of glory. During the regular schedule, he finished in a tie With Jack Adams, Toronto center, for seventh place in the individual scoring. But in the play-downs, Morenz really &ldquo;went to town&rdquo; and when the smoke of the play-offs had cleared he had netted the rubber seven times and made the play for seven additional tallies!</p><p>The Canadiens finished the season in second place, six points behind the Senators, considered by many certain to retain their Stanley Cup laurels.</p><h2>Flying In Playoffs</h2><p>In the play-offs, a two-out-of-three-game series between the Senators and Canadiens for the right to play the champions of the Pacific Coast and Western Canada Leagues for the Stanley Cup, Howie scored three of his team&rsquo;s five goals in the Ottawa series and furnished the assists for two other goals!</p><p>The bitterest sort of rivalry existed in those days between the Senators and the Canadiens. They were the outstanding teams in the game, and Ottawa&rsquo;s rabid rooters who followed their team to Montreal were more than matched by the frenzied Frenchmen who cheered every move in the ice by a Canadien.</p><p>Bottle throwing had its place in any series between these two clubs, and frequently a team would congratulate itself if it got out of town without leaving several members nursing their wounds in the hospital.</p><p>In such a setting, Morenz found himself when he skated out on the ice at the old Mount Royal Arena for his first Stanley Cup game. As the Flying Frenchmen came out, a terrific roar went up from the packed arena, and each player was cheered in turn. The Senators, of course also received a noisy reception; but they knew what to expect, and the catcalls and boos came as no surprise.</p><p>It didn&rsquo;t take long for the fans to see that it was going to be a close-checking battle. Both teams body-checked viciously throughout with neither team able to gain any advantage, until the Morenz-Billy Boucher-Joliat line saw an opening, the only one of the game.</p><h2>Trio Gets Going</h2><p>Howie stole the puck just inside his own defense zone and whipped it over to Joliat, and as the three of them sped up the ice, Joliat flipped a pass over to Howie who feinted Hitchman out of position and passed to Billy Boucher on his right.</p><p>Billy, who could turn on the speed himself, went around his brother Buck, on the Ottawa defense, and fired a blazing shot at Sleepy Benedict. But old Sleepy was wide awake and turned the rubber disk aside.</p><p>Morenz, lurking near by for a rebound, was in like a meteor and snapped up the puck. He had Buck Boucher and Hitchman hanging to his shoulders as he got his shot away, but had enough &ldquo;zip&rdquo; on it to beat Benedict. This was the only goal of the game.</p><p>This victory put the Canadiens one up on the Senators, but as the second game&mdash;and the third if necessary&mdash;were scheduled for Ottawa, the powerful Senators were still favorites.</p><p>Back on their home ice, the Senators were forced to open up, but they found the Canadiens&rsquo; defense almost impregnable, and the darting figures of Morenz, Joliat, and Boucher were a constant threat.</p><p>Midway in the first period. Howie blocked Nighbor at center, stole the puck from the &lsquo;&lsquo;Pembroke Peach&rdquo; &mdash; as Nighbor was called&mdash;and went through to trick Hitchman and Buck Boucher and fool Benedict with a rising shot.</p><h2>Does It Again</h2><p>Shortly after the second period started, Howie again beat the entire Senator team and once more tied Benedict in knots as he tried hopelessly to stop the Stratford Streak.</p><p>This ended Morenz&rsquo;s scoring for the night. But he fed perfect passes to both Joliat and Billy Boucher before the game ended, and neither one made any mistake.</p><p>While the Canadiens were bagging their four counters, the Senators, fighting desperately, managed to score two, hut it was not enough, and the mighty Senators, rulers of the hockey world in three out of the four previous seasons. were humbled by a youngster playing his first season in professional ranks.</p><p>One of the remarkable highlights of the two-game series was the fact that the line of Morenz. Baucher, and Joliat played through both games without once being relieved and, at the finish, they were travelling almost as fast as at the start.</p><h2>Long Trail Awinding</h2><p>But the trail to the Stanley Cup, then as now, was a long, rocky one. Their victory over the Senators merely qualified them to meet the Vancouver Maroons champions of the Pacific Coast League, and the Calgary Tigers, leaders of the Western Canada circuit.</p><p>Vancouver proved a tough opponent, but the Canadiens showed their mastery by taking them in two straight games by scores of 3-2 and 2-1.</p><p>Frankie Boucher was the outstanding star for the coast team, and while he managed to hold Morenz scoreless, he couldn&rsquo;t keep him from feeding the puck to brother Billy and Aurel Joliat, who took care of the scoring.</p><p>With the scalps of the Senators and Maroons dangling at their belts, the Canadiens now prepared to meet the tough Calgary outfit. Calgary had a pair of brilliant defensemen in &ldquo;Red&rdquo; Dutton and Herb Gardiner and one of the roughest forwards of the day in Cully Wilson.</p><p>Morenz found the Tigers much to his liking, and in the opening game, played before a packed arena in Montreal, he simply ran wild to score three of his team&rsquo;s six goals and set up the disk for Joliat and Boucher who each.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Meet The Aces… …Quebec’s Pride

<div class="byline">By HEC MacLEAN</div><p>KELOWNA. B.C.&mdash;</p><p>Hockey on artificial ice is going over in big fashion here and plenty of interest is being shown by the fans in the three-team Okanagan-Mainline Hockey League. Fed up with playing a half hearted schedule because of melting natural ice, a few sports boosters in this city got together and organized a drive which resulted in a dandy artificial ice palace known as the Kelowna Memorial Arena. The modern concrete rink is insured for $215,000 and seats a little better than 2,000 patrons.</p><p>At present, Kelowna Packers are in cellar position but playing coach Kenny Stewart has the club rapidly improving and plans to get them past the second place Vernon Canadians. Kamloops, directed by Johnny Ursacki, heads the circuit.</p><p>Laurel Harney, well known for many years in sport and last year coach of the Edmonton Cub baseball team, handles the Vernon sextet.</p><p>Calibre of hockey is about senior &lsquo;B&rsquo; but the fans eat it up and like it played rough and tough.</p><p>Despite his aging legs Stewart still has some good hockey left in him and knows how to organize a power attack when the situation demands. There are some good hockey players in the loop, such as Jack O&rsquo;Reilley and Bud Gourlay, well known for their play on the west coast in the past.</p><p>Majority of players have jobs) and find they can make ends meet nicely by working as well as earning a little money playing hockey.</p><p>Only thing we can see wrong with the circuit is the fact the fans see the same clubs in action too often.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Amateur Parade At Quick Glance

<p>Referee Vic Lindquist conies up with this one.</p><p>It involves Ken McAuley, who played goal in the Western Canada Senior League last season with Saskatoon. McAuley didn&rsquo;t like to see the game get too &ldquo;dead&rdquo; and he had his own method of livening the proceedings.</p><p>He would skate out of the nets in an apparently-belligerant mood and shaking his finger angrily at Lindquist, would say, &ldquo;Where&rsquo;ll I meet you for a cup of coffee after the game?&rdquo;</p><p>Naturally, the crowd would figure that McAuley was telling off the arbiter. The fans loved it and, as Lindquist remarks, &ldquo;a dull game would be turned into something hectic.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Well, it is &hellip; one of the fastest, toughest, roughest games there is. But, say &hellip; if you listen to some of the old timers like Eddie Shore, famous defenseman of the Boston Bruins, now owner of the Springfield Indians; Herb Gardiner, former star of the Les Canadiens and ex-coach of the Philadelphia Ramblers as well as our own Wally Kilrea, coach of the present Rocket team, the game today is a tea party compared to the hockey they played years ago.</p><p>The men were bigger, the rinks were barns, the spectators were fire-eaters and the pay was nothing say the oldsters.</p><h2>NO LUXURIES</h2><p>&ldquo;In the first place,&rdquo; said Shore recently, &ldquo;we didn&rsquo;t have nice warm rinks with superheated, comfortable dressing rooms. No one rubbed us down before the game or patched up our wounds with antiseptic and tape after the game. No clubhouse boy came along to hand out our woolen underwear, and hang up our clothes and put away our sticks. And there weren&rsquo;t any pretty young girls sitting around the penalty box to give you the eye.</p><h2>THAT&rsquo;S COLD</h2><p>Herb Gardiner, former coach of the Ramblers (Philadelphia&rsquo;s entry in the American Hockey league that preceded the Rockets) was not as biased in his comparison between the new and the old but he recalled the day it was so cold in the rink that the owner carted three wheelbarrows of snow into the dressing room so that the men could put their feet into it in between periods and thaw out their frozen toes.</p><p>&ldquo;And I remember the day in Quebec when I was coaching the old Arrows and a spectator tossed a cannon cracker behind Maury Roberts, our goal tender, just as he was about to make the save.</p><p>&ldquo;Roberts jumped about two feet in the air, the puck went into the net and we got beat. A policeman arrested the fan but when he was brought up before the judge, the judge asked who won and how. and discharged the spectator.</p><p>Wally Kilrea, is not quite as much of a veteran as Gardiner, but the coach of the Rockets smiles when he thinks of the rugged times he had, once when he played outdoors with the thermometer 20 degrees below.</p><p>&ldquo;Fans&mdash;a darn few&mdash;were wrapped from head to feet in coats and blankets&mdash;just their noses sticking out. You didn&rsquo;t dare stop skating or you&rsquo;d freeze,&rdquo; said Kilrea.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>
