THE FAN FORUM
Will Be Heard Dear Sirs, I have been a constant reader of THE HOCKEY NEWS for the past two or three seasons and enjoy it very much. I believe practically, every hockey league in Canada and the USA is covered by your paper at one time or another during the season, if not every week. But there is one thing that has mystified me more and more as time goes along, and that is, how come the WIHL (Western International Hockey League) doesn’t rate a write-up? It is one of the oldest hockey leagues in B.C. and can boast two Allan Cup and World Champion teams in the 1930’s and don’t be surprised if you hear something about a team from this league before the battle for the Allan Cup is over this…

Terry Sawchuk “Top Scorer”
DETROIT, Mich.—Terry Sawchuk of Detroit Red Wings failed in his bid to repeat as winner of the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goalkeeper, but he at least has the distinction of being tops in one other department. Sawchuk ended the season as top pointmaker among the big league’s goalies. His total? One point! Terrific Terry received credit for an assist on a goal by Gordie Howe as the Red wings battled to a 3-3 draw with the Boston Bruins on March 18. It happened like this. Saw chuk stopped a close-in drive from the stick of Dave Creighton, relayed the puck to Howe, who was coasting around the blueline, and the latter skated the length of the ice to register his 32nd goal of the campaign. The last time a goaler received credit…
Lonesome Teeder Pines For Partner To Make All-Star Dream A Reality
TORONTO, Ont.— Through 12 years of NHL strife, tireless Ted Kennedy has maintained a station among hockey’s elite with two strikes on him from the start and without one ranking on a first-string All-Star club. To Leaf coach King Clancy, the two strikes which have confined Teeder to the shadow of lesser centremen in All-Star balloting are the facts (1) Kennedy plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs (2) he hasn’t a great partner to share his work like Detroit’s Gord Howe has in Ted Lindsay or Montreal’s Maurice Richard has had in Elmer Lach. It was therefore in a medical report rather than in a scoring summary that Leafs scored their greatest single triumph of the season. That would be the revision of the diagnosis on the strained groin Injury Teeder suffered while…
