Regals And Americans Surprise By Grabbing WHL Section Leads
VANCOUVER. B.C.— The astounding feature of the Western Hockey League’s early skirmishes came from the most unlikely fronts of all — Brandon on the one end and Seattle on the other. As this was written the Regals led the Prairie Division and Keith Allen’s Americans the Coast Division. That may have changed even now. No matter. That these sophomores in professionalhockey’s second biggest biggest top could achieve such distinction, even fleetingly, warrants a probe from the charter members. Don Raleigh seems responsible in Brandon. Last spring the erstwhile “Bones” of New York’s National League Rangers claimed to have rattled for the last time. “I guess I’ve had it,” Raleigh confided to the Winnipeg Tribune’s Vince Leah, who had schooled Raleigh in hockey’s rudiments on the open-air rinks of Winnipeg’s minor chain. “I’m too old to start…

Renauld Confident Sags Will Be QHL Power
MONTREAL, Que.— You’ll travel far before meeting a more enthusiastic man in charge of a hockey club than Phil Renauld, slim exhuberant boss of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens. Here’s a man who approaches his chores with keen delight. Renauld talks about his players in most glowing terms, he has great confidence in the ultimate triumph of his beloved Sagueneens. In fact his fervour is almost dedicated, as if he has a silent motto which he churns over mentally four by hour: “We are mighty and shall prevail”. He’s new to the Quebec League, as a coach that is, though he gave some years of fine service to Quebec Aces, and in his sojourn at the Ancient Capital was noted as a resolute blocker, a good steady man who either took the puck away from an…
Red Wings Seven Games Ahead Of ’55-56 In Point Production
DETROIT, Mich.— It took the Red Wings only five games this season to achieve as much profit as they gained in their first 12 games a year ago. The horrendous start in ‘55-’56 saw the Wings go 12 games to get their eighth point. This year they had eight points in five games the first three victories followed by a pair of ties. So far it was one of the finest starts in team history. The ‘4 8-’4 9 outfit did slightly belter by winning four and lying one of the first five. But no Detroit team ever went through its first six games without losing, which became the target for the next outing. While pleasing, all this was somewhat surprising. Not just because it was different from a year ago but because it…
