Player - Of - The – Week
Twenty-four year old Bep Guidolin who sometimes answers to the nickname of “Buffalohead” has been chosen by THE Hockey News as the Player Of The Week. The curly-haired forward of the Chicago Black Hawks is the most improved player on the Windy City Club and Coach Chuck Conacher goes along with us on that. One of the highest scoring trios in hockey today are Metro Prystai, Bert Olmstead and Guidolin, appropriately named the “Boilermaker Line” and the latter’s renewed ambition to show that he has what it takes has injected the old fire into his two youthful linemates. Last week Guidolin netted four goals in his best scoring spree this season. He now has a total of 5 goals and 14 assists for 19 points. On December 14 in Chicago the Hawks…
Old Ice Rivals Glower From Bench
SYDNEY, N.S.— When Toronto Marlboros knocked off Sydney Millionaires in a torrid Allan Cup round in Toronto last Spring, Sydney Club President Dr. C. A. (Sandy) McDonald had this to say. “The spring of 1950 will see the Maritimes’ greatest Allan Cup threat of the past decade, a team five goals stronger than the Maritime champion Sydney Millionaires of 1949.” Shortly after Dr. McDonald’s declaration, a news dispatch from Montreal quoted Erwin Groves (Murph) Chamberlain. as saying he was retiring from the National Hockey League.

Immediately, the Sydney club opened negotiations with Chamberlain to replace Jack Fritz, who was forced to resign the coaching post due to pressure…
Currie Callin’ Down Helps To Cool Colin
CALGARY, Alta.— Bing Merluk is the fair haired boy of Edmonton Flyers in the Western Senior Hockey League these days. He’s been clicking home the goals with consistent regularity and in a recent game against Calgary Stampeders he bagged three and assisted on another … Flyer coach Frank Currie apparently doesn’t think much of the blueline ability of Eddie Cutts. The cause of the big hockey controversy a couple of years ago because of a difference with Conny Smythe of Toronto Maple Leafs, has been on the bench for quite a spell … Apparently the Flyer boss told Colin Kilburn to cool down because the starry Edmonton forward hasn’t been drawing as many penalties lately. In one contest in Calgary he spent 14 minutes in the sin bin and apparently this…
Mohawk Boosters Keen New Fan Club In A.H.L
CINCINNATI, 0,— Hockey’s newest spectator set got off to a rousing start at a meeting here early this month when the Cincinnati Mohawk Hockey Booster Club was formed. A large crowd, far and away above what had been expected, turned out for the meeting, with the entire Mohawk team headed by Coach King Clancy also sitting in on the proceedings. Clancy introduced the players, and then discussed the present status of the fledgling Cincinnati entry in the American Hockey League. The King said he wasn’t offering any apologies for the club’s showing to date, but said he honestly felt that with a little more experience the present lowly status of the team should be considerably improved. He pointed out that many of the players are youngsters who have just recently turned…
