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…
Unable To Fly, Kansas City Misses Game
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.— Minneapolis Millers’ hockey game with Kansas City, scheduled for the Arena Saturday night, December 10, was postponed when the Kansas City club was unable to get to Minneapolis in time. Kansas City played in Louisville Friday night December 9, and planned to fly to Minneapolis but the club was grounded by weather conditions. Refunds will be made to all ticket purchasers requesting them, or the tickets will be honored at any future Minneapolis game, Lyle Wright, president of the Millers, said. The advance sale, he reported, had been one of the heaviest of the season. An effort will be made to re-schedule the game in Minneapolis before the end of the season but neither Wright nor Carl Voss, president of the United States league, could venture to say when. A thorough check of the…
Trail Club Gets A Brand New Arena
TRAIL. B.C.— With the stirring beat of band music, the shrill wail of the pipes, speeches and the roar of the crowd providing the background, the city of Trail took possession of its new $500,000 Cominco Arena. Years of planning and months of feverish construction activity culminated in the presentation ceremony as R. W. Diamond, vice-president and general manager of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, handed over the deed to the new rink to Mayor E. G. Fletcher for the city of Trail. Rated at a seating capacity of 2500, the arena was jammed to the rafters with double that number of fans as the dedication got under way. The Trail Smoke Eaters and the Kimberley Dynamiters, both former Allan Cup and world’s championship winners, lined up across the…
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…
