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…
Terry Sawchuk Moves From Wings To Bruins In Hine Player Trade
DETROIT, Mich.— Terry Sawchuk, for five seasons the star netminder of the champion Detroit Red Wings, has been traded to the fourth-place Boston Bruins in a “million dollar”, nine-player exchange between the two National Hockey League clubs. General Manager Jack Adams of the Wings, one of the sharpest judges of hockey talent and never one to stand pat, even with a winner, swapped his 25-year-old ace and three forwards to the Bruins for five players, including two top-flight forwards. Sawchuk, a holler-guy goaler from Winnipeg, allowed an average of less than two goals per game in his five seasons as a Red Wing. In order to pry Sawchuk loose from Detroit, Boston GM Lynn Patrick was forced to part with top-flight forwards Eddie Sandford, the Bruin captain, Real Chevre-fils, rookie forward Norm Corcoran, defenseman…
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…
