Farm Builds New Red Wing Players From Juniors Up

(As seen in The Detroit Times) DETROIT. Mich.— (Importance of the Junior OHA in the farm system of National Hockey League hams is emphasized in this revealing article by Lewis H. Walter, veteran hockey writer of The Detroit Times.) Good news is coming to the Detroit Red Wings from Hamilton. Ont. The wing-sponsored Hamilton Tiger-Cubs give promise of developing more stars for the Big Reds, who haven’t finished worse than second in the National Hockey League for nine years.

MIDLAND. Ont.— The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, often severely critisized for its administration, won plaudits this past week with the announcement that Canada will not take part in the 1957 World Hockey Championships at Moscow.

Dudley added: “In casting their votes many of the executive members indicated that they felt…

Balanced Power Reason For Wings’ Strong Start

DETROIT, Mich.— More power … balanced power. There’s the secret of Detroit Red Wings’ strong start which has seen them in or near first place since the beginning of the season. The Detroiters skated through their first 12 games at a .750 clip, which was better than the best average in those seven straight seasons they won the National Hockey League title. In this finest start in history they were undefeated in six home games … 4-2 on the road … losers only twice in 12 starts … NHL leaders in goals-against … tied for the lead in goals-for. There is an interesting comparision with the first 12 games of a year ago which reads like this: Since the goals-against total has changed little, obviously the key is the goals-for column with its boost of…
