Player – Of – The – Week
This may come as a surprise to readers of THE HOCKEY NEW’S but we are selecting none other than ‘Battlin’ Kenny Reardon for the ‘Schaefer Award’ as the Player-Of-The-Week. You had to see Reardon in action last week to really appreciate his great work. He was outstanding on the defense as the Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings battled to two consecutive 1-1 draws in Montreal in three nights. Reardon was terrific, battling from the opening whistle until the siren sounded denoting the end of the games. Kenny doesn’t represent the perfect defenseman. In fact he makes plenty of mistakes, skates unorthodox like, trips and flashes his elbows maybe a little more than average defenseman in the league. But he gets where he wants to go and he gets there in such spectacular fashion…
OHA Finally Deal Playoff Cards As Comic Opera Ends
TORONTO, Ont.— If wore comic opera uniforms and had a six-piece brass band playing suitable sideline music, the Ontario Hockey Association’s subcommittee and the senior “A” club managers could not have been funnier when they finally got down to the business of completing their long delayed playoff arrangements. Despite the efforts by President J. J. McFadyen to have the senior “A” clubs come to some sort of an agreement by themselves, the final decision was tossed back to the sub-committee. It was evident that Toronto Marlboros and Kitchener’s Flying Dutchmen were together on insisting that three clubs only qualify.

After much bickering back and forth the sub-committee finally adopted a…

Marathon Playoff Faces Awed Jrs. In Ontario Wheel
TORONTO, Ont.— Nearing the playoff madness that grips hockey clubs yearly within a few short weeks, the senior and junior “A” competition within the Ontario Hockey Association during the closing off of the regular schedules has players, fans and officials on the jump. Except for the fact that Marlboros are sticking to their first place holdings like a first mortgage, the Junior “A” race is as jumpy as the “Jersey Bounce” with St. Catharines Tee-Pees, Guelph Biltmores and Windsor Spitfires setting their sights for second place. Top six of the nine junior “A” clubs playoff later this month, and that means a wild scramble for desired positions during the remaining scheduled games. First and second clubs meeting in the big ‘killeroo’ best-of-seven series while the third team meets the fourth and the fifth…
