What Bentley Wanted He Won’t Get!
TORONTO, Ont.— How much gall can one hockey player have? That’s a question that many people close to the National Hockey League and more particular the Toronto Maple Leafs are asking these days, and the player they have in mind when they ask the question is none other than the old Dipsy Doodle Dandy himself—Maxwell Bentley. Bentley’s contract demands are nothing short of absurd and it didn’t take Canny Conn long to inform the Delisle idol that as far as the Toronto Maple Leafs were concerned he could spend the fall and winter taking part in such pleasant pastimes as shooting and curling, two sports which Mr. Bentley is better than fair at. He has also shown a great fondness for both of these participant sports. Included in the demands of Bentley’s were…
Jim Moore Breaks Leg In Ice-Lane Collision
CHICOUTIMI, P.Q.— Jimmy Moore, hard-working veteran left winger now attached to Chicoutimi Sagueneens of the Quebec Hockey League, will probably be out of action for at least a month. Moore, who started in amateur hockey with Montreal Royals of the Quebec Junior Hockey League, suffered a broken bone in his leg during a clash with Valleyfield Braves Thursday, Oct. 14, in Chicoutimi. Driving in hard, Moore collided with Kitoute Joannette of the Braves, who were beaten 7-1 in the game, and both sprawled to the ice. But Moore did not arise. He lay there, writhing in agony, and when the club trainer reached him the seriousness of the’injury was at once obvious. While the injury may put paid to Jimmy’s hockey career this season so far as records are concerned, he can look back on…
Wing’ 2nd Goalie Bobby Goldham Ageless Wonder
DETROIT, Mich.— As the National Hockey League raises the curtain for another season of drama on ice, Detroit’s mighty Red Wings skate on stage determined to renew their lease on the league title and the Stanley Cup. Playing a major role in this worthy endeavor is Bob Goldham, their 6’1”, 195 pound defenseman, who, at 32, has the dubious honor of being the team’s oldest player. Goldham has belled the theory that hockey is a game for tht youthful. He has sounded the trumpet for the veterans and hockey players, like good wine, improve with age. So much reference has been made to Goldham’s advanced years that one might expect to see a decrepit, elderly gentleman tottering around the Wings’ blueline, instead of a rugged performer who parctically swallows the puck in his…
Prince Charlie’s Charges Going At Smoking Pace
NELSON, B. C.— “Prince Charlie” Rayner’s Nelson Maple Leafs have served notice that they will be a power to be reckoned with this year. The Western International Hockey League defending champions showed very well in exhibition games against the Trail Smoke-Eaters. In a game in Trail, they battled the Smokies to a 4-4 saw-off and returned to Nelson the next night to dump Clint Albright’s charges 4-1. In the next game, Roy Mickulan in the Nelson nets had a shutout going until 19: 46 of the third period when he was beaten by Bobby Kromm from a goal-mouth scramble. Fights were the order of the day and there was a steady parade of combatants to the penalty box. Nelson’s line of Bud MacDonald, Chuck Henderson and Peter Kinasewich were the best on the ice…
