AHL Rinkside Revealings
NEW YORK, N.Y.— NON SHUTOUT STREAK The Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League had the most remarkable record in professional hockey for avoiding shutouts. Including their game of January 20 the Barons had not been blanked for 167 consecutive games, exclusive of playoffs. The last time the whitewash brush was applied to the Barons was on October 18, 1953, and their current record extended through the remainder of the 1953-54 season, all of 1954-55 and up to January 22.

Eastern League rosters will be frozen on February 15 th. All teams must declare and have properly registered all players who they wish to carry for the balance of…
