Switch To Centre Reason Larry Now A Boston Bruir
BOSTON— Although Larry Regan played right wing exclusively for nearly seven years before joining the Boston Bruins, he has played his old position only once this season. Forced by a sudden rash of minor injuries to shuffle his lines in a game here last fall. Coach Milt Schmidt used Regan at right wing where Larry put in an anonymous evening. Afterward Manager Lynn Patrick was asked, “Where has this fellow Regan been all these years?” Patrick laughed and replied, “Playing right wing in the minors. And if he had been playing right wing the night Milt and I saw him he’d still be there.”…

Aces Crowned QHL Champs As Imlach Works Wonders
QUEBEC, Que— From a fourth place finish, and 39 points off the pace last March to the Quebec Hockey League pennant in a surging comeback in 1956-57 is the saga of the Quebec Aces. Aces clinched first place beyond all pursuit when they tumbled Royals 5-2 before the largest Quebec loop crowd of the season — 7,262 — at the Montreal Forum last Sunday.

The audit showed that Cats had only six games remaining on their QHL calendar, representing 12 points. Aces’ bulging lead was fourteen fat ones. While the Aces this year have proved the powerhouse of the Slater circuit in a glamourous…

I agree it does not make sense in some ways. But what else are you going to do when they’re not clicking,” he sighed while toying over a pre-game meal in New York. That was after Detroit had lost four straight — something no Red Wing team had done since 1946. In the meantime the Wings’ one-time lead of 8 points (actually it was 10 points for a few hours one Saturday)…
