THE FAN FORUM
Gary a Royal Dear Sirs, First I must thank you for your fine paper THE HOCKEY NEWS. I have a few questions I would like you to answer if it’s possible for you to do so. First, how come Phil Watson played for the Habs for one season and the following season returned to N.Y. No. 2, where is Gary Edmunston who played for the Canadiens last season in the playoffs. Hope you will be able to answer these questions in the near future. Thank you, yours truly, Bruce A. MacLeod, High Bank, P.E.I. (Watson was in Montreal because he couldn’t cross the border that year. Edmonston plays for the QSHL Montreal Royals.) Kipling Sas. Where’s Syl? Dear Sirs, This is my first letter to this wonderful paper, and I hope that my letter will be printed. My favourite hockey team…
