Will Hall Deliver Goods? He’s Just As Capable As Sawchuk, Says Adams

DETROIT, Mich.— Usually there is nothing more exciting about a hockey team than a rookie goalie. That’s how important the position is. But there has been an almost complete absence of curiosity or concern about Glenn Hall since the day that the Red Wings opened their training camp. A unanimous feeling prevails, among players as well as club officials, that the 23-year-old Hall will capably replace Terry Sawchuk, who rated the All-Star squad all five years he spent in a Detroit uniform. “Glenn is just as good as Terry was when he joined us in 1950; I don’t think anyone will notice any difference,” flatly predicts General Manager Jack Adams. While the fans have a wait-and-see attitude, they are assuming that Hall probably will deliver. Detroit has had a run of great goalies—Turk Broda, Normie…

Lamirande To Pilot TR Lions

TROIS-RIVIERES, Que.— Jean-Paul Lamirande was in charge as the Trois-Rivières Lions took the ice for their first workout at the Colusee here, Monday, Sept. 26. Purchased as a player from Chicoutimi Sagueneens as the club general-manager Francois Hétu made swift moves in organizing the newest entry in the QHL, Lamirande received a pleasont surprise when Hétu negociated to have him take command. Lamirande last year played for the Cataracts at Shawinigan Falls. He captained the team and was a standout defenseman in the sweep of the Cataracts to the Triple Crown—first place, the QHL playoff winners, and the Edinburgh Trophy. He was selected from a long list of ca didates in compliance with the policy of Trois-Rivières’ club directors to engage a veteran hockey man, still durable enough to play a full shift, who…
