“You Won’t Regret It”, Ted Tells Ivan
Change Of Heart Apparently Due To Friendship, Regard For Chicago GM CH1UAUU, HIII— Although he often said he would never play for any team except the Red Wings, Ted Lindsay has been quick to promise his complete satisfaction with the trade to Chicago. “He told me on the phone that he was happy over the deal and that we’ll not regret making it,” General Manager Tommy Ivan explained moments after the big swap was announced. “He assured me that he’ll be all set to go when training camp opens in September at St. Catharines.” That Lindtsay has adopted such an attitude has already made him popular with many Chihawk followers who before, like many others in Detroit’s rival NHL cities, viewed him merely as the guy they would cheer for when he was planted…

The major league record for playing in consecutive games belongs to Murray Murdoch, hockey coach at Yale University in New Haven. Murdoch played in 508 consecutive games with the New York Rangers between the fall of 1926 and the spring of 1937. Gardner finished last season as the National league’s leading ironman, having played in 444 straight games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Black Hawks and the Bruins. Projecting Gardner’s durability into another season, the wiry center figured to break Murdoch’s record in the 65th Bruins’ game of the coming campaign. Last winter Gardner broke the Bruins’ record for consecutive games, formerly held by forward lien Smith.…
