Nine Of 18 Skaters In Chicago Lineup New Ones From Year Ago
CHICAGO, III.—The Black Hawks that launched the 1957-58 National Hockey League schedule last week in Chicago underwent a 50% face lifting from the makeup of the squad that began exactly a year ago with no less than 9 new skaters in the lineup of 18. Most notable and publicized newcomers are, of course, left wing great Ted Lindsay and All-Star goalie Glenn Hall, both from Detroit, as well as veteran Toronto defenseman Jim Thomson and forward Ron Murphy, secured in the trade that sent Hank Ciesla to New York. Then too there are winger Bob Bailey, drafted during the off season from Springfield, and 17-year old Bobby Hull, the center candidate who has become the youngest Black Hawk in history. Three others joined the Chicago squad later, but were not around this…

BRUINS BUY DEFENSEMAN
BOSTON, Mass.— The Boston Bruins eased a pinching forward situation a week before the opening of their 34th National league season by purchasing a defenseman. How’s that again? When Forward Jack Caffery was sidelined for several weeks with a knee injury the Bruins’ forward squad was cut to 1.0 players. They bought Defenseman Larry Hillman from the Chicago Black Hawks to ease the pinch. The added development taking the move out of the mad class was Coach Milt Schmidt’s announcement that he’d use Defenseman Leo Boivin as a spare forward. Boivin, who played forward frequently as an amateur, served several hitches up front last season. He became number two spare forward behind Johnny Peirson, Hillman becoming the sixth defenseman. Hillman, 20 is a blond 183-pounder who has been tried before by both Detroit and Chicago. He…
