Scramble For Goaltender’s Job With Hershey Wide Open Affair
HERSHEY, Pa.— The scramble for the goaltending job with the Hershey Bears this Falls will be a wide open affair, with three top candidates in the field. General Manager Lloyd S. Blinco, of the Bears, has revealed that with the acquisition of Terry Sawchuk by the Boston Bruins, Coach Milt Schmidt has indicated he’ll probably leave long John Henderson with the Bears for further seasoning. Henderson did a creditable job for the Bruins last year after he took over for ailing Sugar Jim Henry, but Sawchuk’s arrival on the Beantown scene makes it necessary for Boston to find regular employment elsewhere for the elongated goalie. Only 22 years of age, Henderson is highly regarded by both Schmidt and Lynn Patrick, the Boston g.m., who feel that a season of work with the Bears…
Tough Tony Durable Guy
CHICAGO, Ill.—The acquisition of fiery forward Tony Leswick gives the Black Hawks a genuine “iron man” sort of skater for the first time in years. Now a 10-year NHL veteran at the age of 32, he has missed only two games out of a total of 650 as a member of the Rangers and champion Detroiters. Both of these contests that saw Tony on the sidelines were white he was with New York Rangers from 1945-51. Once came in the 1945-46 campaign, his first in the NHL, while the other was put into the league records during 1949-50. He played all the way in the past four 70-game slates of the Red Wings. In addition to this distinction, Leswick will hit his 300th scoring point the first time he assists on a…
Amateurs Seek Different Set of Rules From Those Employed By Professionals
REGINA, Sask.— Should the amateur puckmen play under different playing rules than the pros? Or would it become too confusing to people in cities where both the amateurs and pros are in action? Delegates to the recent annual convention of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association mulled over this issue for long hours. Evidently they came to the conclusion that it would be quite in order for the two groups to employ different codes of rules because they approved several rule changes which they realized would not be accepted by the pros. At present, the amateurs follow the same playing rules as those of the National Hockey League, at least during the CAHA playoffs. The respective branches of the CAHA can make minor adjustments in their rules during their branch play but must revert…
