Habs ’, Bruins’ Stars of 1928-29 Star Again in Hub Anniversary
BOSTON, Mass.— As much as Boston’s hockey populace enjoyed the return of heroes of the past for the Garden’s 25th anniversary of hockey, the heroes themselves probably enjoyed it more. “We played against each other for years,” Sylvio Mantha told the ex-Bruins, “and I had to wait until this reunion for some of you to speak to me.” Eight former Bruins and four former Montreal Canadiens, of whom Mantha was one, had the time of their lives bringing each other up to date and replaying bygone games. The vanguard of the old-timers arrived here two days before the anniversary game itself and Eddie Shore, the last to arrive, checked in a few hours before gametime. Perk Galbraith, a great defensive winger; Harry Oliver, the clever forward;; Cy Denneny, who could make a shot curve and…
Wings, Habs May go to Britain
MONTREAL, Que.— A proposed trip to England and the Continent is currently in the making for the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings. If the final arrangements are made then the clubs will travel at the end of the 1952-53 season. General Manager Frank Selke of Canadiens announced that he was trying to arrange the tour with rink and hockey executives in England. So far one arena manager, Percy Nicklin of Harringay has been receptive. Others are being approached and it is thought that the trip will be extended to the Continent, probably to France and maybe Switzerland. If the trip comes off it will mark the second time in history that NHL clubs have traveled overseas to play exhibition games. Both the Wings and Habs made the trip in the mid-thirties and…
Trade to Chi Hawks Best Break Gardner Ever Got, Says Cal
CHICAGO, Ill.— Cal Gardner, the auburn peaked puck pusher with the flashing smile, hasn’t been publicized as one of the sharpest additions to the new Chicago Black Hawks this season, but he has easily earned such billing. He joined the squad with Al Rollins and Gus Mortson in September as a part of the deal that sent Harry Lumley to Toronto. Things didn’t look too good for the 28-year-old center at the start. When he reported to Hawk training head-quarters at Pembroke, Ont., he was in good enough physical condition, but he just couldn’t seem to get going in drills. He went on to garner only a couple of assists in the team’s 11 pre-season exhibitioin contests. Cal was still a big question mark when the Hawks took the ice for the schedule…
Ol’ Hard Rock Finally Has His Kind of Team
HALIFAX, N.S.— The Hard Rock has his team in high gear and there is joy in Prince Edward Island. Murph Chamberlain, alias the Hard Rock, knew tough times this season before he finally iced his kind of team. As a coach Chamberlain has been in a lot of places in a short time. He lasted one season with Sydney Millionaires in his first year out of the National L e ague. Next winter he assembled a hard hitting team in Charlottetown as PEI returned to the top amateur circles after a long layoff. Mid-way in the season, with the Islanders running away from the pack, he left for Vancouver. Canucks didn’t do so well by Murph but apparently he did all right by them, for last season he was back again. First thing you…
