THE FAN FORUM
NON RAIDERS Dear Sir, We surely enjoyed your article on the Cleveland Barons, Minneapolis, San Francisco setup out here in fact we just laughed and laughed. Especially glad to know the Barons don’t raid their affliate clubs. Please ask Mr. Hendy what he calls taking Bob Drainville from the Shamrocks. We call it raiding out here, but we are probably wrong since he says the Barons don’t do things like that. Bob Bourdeau San Francisco. PRACTICE TIME Dear Sir, THE HOCKEY NEWS gives a wonderful coverage of the man leagues but I find the articles on the National Hockey League the most interesting and to me the Fan Forum is the best part of your paper. Like many other readers I have some questions to ask. Where can I obtain a set of the N.H.L. rules for 1949-50…
AL ROLLINS Let In Four As Well
TORONTO, Ont.— For a while last weekend It looked as If the “battle of the bulge” had been resumed in Toronto, Fiery Conn Smythe, dynamic little boss of the floundering Maple Leafs, hit the hockey headlines again as he pulled Turk Broda from the goal in the middle of a game and supplemented him with Rookie A1 Rollins. However the switch netted neither Smythe nor the Leafs any satisfaction as they went down syimming, perhaps not a full swing, but they did go down swinging to the lowly Boston Bruins, 8-4. But this time Smythe, who sat on the Leafs bench, pulled his once overweight goaler from the ice for a different reason than when he sent him to the showers for being a little too fat. Smythe said he yanked Broda…
Calgary Flick Op Regular Lode Of Hockey Anecdotes
CALGARY, Alta.— You often learn a lot, and hear some entertaining things at the same time, when you sit down for a good chin wag with an oldtimer who has been connected with hockey from away-back-when days. This correspondent did this the other day with Peter D. Egan, Calgary theatre man who is known by athletes from coast to coast. Pete isn’t connected with hockey much these days as his age requires he takes things more quietly than he used to but when he started talking about the 20’s and 30’s a twinkle came into his eye. “I remember in the 1929-30 season when I was president of the Eegina Pats and we had a Memorial Cup team. A few of the fellows on the club and myself were about the only ones…
Last Minute Rush Nets New Ramblers
AMHERST, N.S.— There was good news for the fans of the cellar dwelling Amherst Ramblers last week as Coach Doggie Kuhn announced that two new defensemen had been signed to show their wares with the club. Currently floundering around the bottom of the Maritime Senior Hockey League, it has been touch and go just whether the Ramblers would be able to stick it out until the end of the season. However, with the addition of the two new players there are hopes that things will start picking up for the club. The players joined their new clubs last Friday and played their first game against the Moneton Hawks. The new rearguards are Bill MacDonald of Quebec, a Mount Allison University student at nearby Sackville, N.B. and Reg Crosby, with the Maritime intercollegiate champion Acadia…
