‘Radiorchids’
Station C.F.C.N. Calgary, Alta. Each week THE HOCKEY’ NEWS would like its readers to meet one of the many Canadian sports announcers connected with hockey. Some are from big cities, others are from small towns but they all have one thing in common … they are hockey’s greatest boosters. Henry Viney, who was born and brought up in Lethbridge, started in sport in his spare time while working in the Bank of Commerce, and later for the Y.M.C.A. and the C.P.R. As a hockey referee he was active in the “Alberta Senior” and “Kootenay Leagues”, but he is better recognized for his work as a basketball referee, having officiated at such games as the Edmonton Grads champion basketball series with the Desmoines, (Oklahoma) Stenos. He also refereed the “Senior Mens’ Basketball” finals…

PAUL, Minn.— The Denver Falcons (last year’s Minneapolis team with some exceptions) should have the best home record of the season in the USHL — Two factors will count heavily for them … One is their preponderance of high scoring veteran material backed up by a strong enough defense … The other is the altitude in Denver which will trouble Invading teams considerably. They Help… After the first two weeks of play, Omaha—last year’s regular season champions—loom as the best conditioned team … and one of the two teams to beat for the title this campaign … Denver Is the other … The comparatively young Knights got off to victories in their first three games on the road—quite a departure from past seasons when they usually wobbled through the first extended road…
Mohawks Blast Loud Then Get Shot Down By Flyers
CINCINNATI, Ohio.— St. Louis still makes them blue, but so far the Cincinnati Mohawks haven’t seen anything else in the Western Division of the American League to make them nervous. Their early season record indicates that King Clancy’s Hawks, born into pro hockey only a year ago, are going to take an active part in the 1950-51 AHL playoffs. Before accepting a double-decked drubbing from St. Louis the weekend of October 21, Clancy’: ciouters assembled a six-game ur. beaten streak and rambled into a temporary lead in the rough Western Division. The Hawks beat Cleveland, tied and beat Pittsburgh and beat Indianapolis during those six games, and those three teams are the ones Cincinnati has to outskate to get into the playoffs. Clancy, the former NHL defenseman and referee who is a one-man Aurora…
