Red Sullivan’s “Irish” Temperament Appeals To New Yorkers And Rangers

NEW YORK, N.Y.—George “Red” Sullivan is the man with the most celebrated spleen in all hockey. He can thank an errant Montreal stick for that dubious honor. It damaged the organ and sidelined him for most of last season and deprived New York hockey fans from knowing the real Sullivan. He also is the man who made a David Harum out of Muzz Patrick. With some misgivings, Muzz gave up Wally Hergesheimer for the carrot-top. Hergy was one of the top goal scorers in New York history. But Sullivan was younger, stronger and very scrappy albeit weaker in the goal scoring department. As things turned out Hergy had an unfortunate season with Chicago last year marred by an injury. He is now playing with Buffalo of the American Hockey League. Sullivan also was sidelined for…

Boston’s Swedish Import Says There Is NHL Material In European League

MONTREAL, Que.—Noted for their durability in logging the mileage, scouts for National Hockey League clubs will soon de broadening their range if they take a tip from Sven (Tumba) Johansson. Johansson is the Swedish born international who played center for the team that nosed out the Russians for the world amateur hockey championship last March. He’s presently on a rive game trial with Quebec Aces of the Quebec Hockey League, after making quite an impression in Bruins’ early autumn muscle-flexing at Boston. His activities in the Hub were cut short when he fractured his left wrist. Now Tumba—the nickname is derived from his home town. Tumba, which is 20 miles from Stockholm—thinks there are two or three good hockey players in Europe who are worth a look by the major league sleuths. Chance Meeting When…

“3 For 1” Deal Gives Chicoutimi Depth

Sags Also Acquire Goaltender Gilles Boisvert. Boisvert Sent To QHL Because Adams Feels He Needs Plenty Of Work CHICOUTIMI, Que.—A rich harvest from a three-for-one deal may be the nub of Sagueneens’ story in the Quebec hockey League campaign of 1957-58. Only of second in importance is the acquisition of a goal-keeper of unquestioned talent and class. The “3 for 1” is the transaction which landed Stan Smrke, for many seasons one of the Chicoutimi club’s most prolific scorers as well as a sound defensive performer on his wing lanes with NHL Canadiens. In return Sagueneens received forwards Jackie Leclair and Guy Rousseau as well as all-star rearguard Jacques Deslauriers. Injuries detracted from Stan Smrke’s production last season. When he was sidelined with a damaged knee he appeared in only 33 Quebec League games.…
