Palangio Turns Down Silverman’s Major Idea
NORTH BAY, Ont. The reaction here to a suggestion by Sudbury hockey mogul Max Silverman that a big North-South Major Hockey League operate next season has been frowned on by Pete Palangio, sponsor and coach of North Bay’s senior Black Hawks. Silverman proposed a league embracing Toronto, Hamilton and Kitchener in the south with Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and North Bay in the north for the 1951-52 campaign. “Under present conditions as far as I’m concerned Maxie’s big plan seems to be nothing more than a pipe dream, Palangio has remarked. “It’s just a case of Silverman being a little too over-enthused about Sudbury having a big new rink next season, he added.

’Peg Monarchs Carry Famed Name Into Hunt For 4th Memorial Cup
WINNIPEG, Man.— Take sixteen earnest young men, add one outstanding coach, one shrewd manager and equal parts of ability and tradition and you brew one of junior hockey’s most palatable concoctions — the Winnipeg Monarchs. As this is written, the Regals, seven times champions of Manitoba since they were organized in 1931, are shooting for their fourth Memorial Cup. National titlists in 1935, 1937 and 1946 and runners-up to Sudbury Wolves in 1932, the Monarchs own one of Canadian junior hockey’s finest records. This year’s squad is determined to add some gloss to the fine record set by its predecessors. They won the Manitoba League crown after finishing in second place behind Brandon Wheat Kings, and then knocked over Port Arthur in the Western semifinal. The frequent trips that chief scout Squib Walker and General…
Nobby, Ab Pals On and Off the Ice
NORTH BAY, Ont.— Two Old buddies of many gruelling hockey wars — Ab DeMarco and Grant (Nobby) Warwick really starte to relax in North Bay recently after six months of action on the ice lanes, which saw the pair wind up one-two in the American Hockey League scoring derby. And a well deserved rest it was, since DeMarco and Warwick were two of Buffalo Bisons’ most lethal scoring weapons during the season. Despite their work in the first round of the AHL playoffs, Buffalo succumbed to the power of the fast-skating Cleveland Barons. The season finished up for another year, DeMarco has returned to spend another summer with hig family. A visitor with Abner was his close pal and linemate Grant Warwick. Using a beautiful drop-pass to perfection the two former NHL’erg helped…
