E.H.L. Champions Jolted By Two Serious Holdouts
CHARLOTTE, N.C.— The hopes of the Charlotte Clippers to repeat last season’s feat of sweeping both the Eastern Hockey League’s regular season crown and the playoffs have suffered a severe setback. Captain Al “Bibber” O’Hearn and Doug Adam, who finished one-two in league scoring are serious holdouts and in all probability will never play another game for the Clippers. The 34-year-old veteran, who onceplayed briefly with the New York Rangers, reportedly became miffed when he was overlooked in the choosing of a new coach of the Clippers when the Charlotte organization was revamped. Last year’s coach, Andy Brown, was promoted to the general manager spot and winger Stan Warecki, former playercoach of the Washington Lions, got the coaching post. Adam apparently went into retirement. He allegedly turned down offers to coach the Lions of…
NHL 11th ANNUAL ALL-STAR GAME
FIRST TEAM GOAL, Glenn Hall, Detroit… Goaltender Glenn Hall has built himself a spectacular record in bis two years in the NHL.

Flu, Flab And Goals Dominate Leaf Camp
SUDBURY, Ont.— In just three days, the new Leafs, whose goal is goals, produced 25 per cent more scores in scrimmage than they had managed at their entire 1956 camp here. Returns to that time numbered 53, compared to the overall 42 scored in three weeks of training a year before. It nevertheless took all of these, and the fine offensive plays that made up the bulk of them, to make Billy his usual Reay of sunshine after the early disillusionments. Flu Most serious of these was the Asiatic ’flu outbreak which coincided with Leafs’ arrival at camp here, in Sudbury. More than 6,000 natives of the Sudbury district were stricken with the bug. One of them was rookie defenseman Noel Price, a Western Leaguer with Winnipeg last year, who reported 12 pounds underweight as…
Rochester Rated Contender Despite Graduation Losses
ROCHESTER, N.Y.— It’s not often that a hockey team can lose its coach, goalie and high scorer and still be rated a strong contender for league honors the following season. But that’s exactly the case with the Rochester Americans. As a first-year entry in the American Hockey League last season, the Amerks came up from the depths to finish third in the regular season standings and then go all the way to the Calder Cup finals before losing to the Cleveland Barons. Then, in rapid succession. Rochester lost Coach Billy Reay, who took the same position with the Toronto Maple Leafs; high-scoring center Bronco Horvath, drafted by the Boston Bruins; and goalie Bobby Perreault, dratted off the Shawinigan Falls roster by Hershey. As this is being written, no replacements have been found for Horvath or…
