‘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…
Goldham’s Blast Puts Him In Doghouse
Ever since they reod Bob Goldham’s statements against Chicago in the October 7th issue of THE HOCKEY NEWS, most Windy City fans agree that trading him to Detroit was just about the best thing that Hawk President Bill Tobin has ever done.

While official hockey circles here seethed over Douglas Grimston’s decision in New Westminster, when he awarded players. Bill Heindl and Larry Zeidel to Saskatoon Quakers, ten days ago the score of the entire conflict was what Quebec executives and those of the QSHL consider a broken word. At the annual meeting at the swank Rocky Mountain resort last June, the Quebeckers claim they were given full assurance that there would be no tampering with rights of players listed on the rosters of their clubs last season consequent to the organization of the super series. It was on this…
Leafs And Richard Still Lead Loop And Scoring
MONTREAL, Que.— Toronto Maple Leafs continued their winning ways during the past week as they won two and tied one to increase their point total to 12, and remain one point ahead of the Montreal Canadiens. Canadiens have played one more game than the Leafs. Detroit Red Wings are in third place with nine points and are followed in turn by Chicago Black Hawks with six points, New York Rangers, five points and Boston Bruins, one. Maurice Richard, Montreal prolific goal scorer, tallied three times during the week to hike his record up to seven goals and three assists for 10 points. This gives the hard-shooting right wingman sole possession of first place in the individual scoring race. Gordie Howe of Detroit has taken over second plaee along with Max Bentley of…
