Squad Shooting Skating Impress At Ist Practice
TORONTO, Ont. — People who have wondered how Russia became a world hockey power in 10 short years got some of the answers as the Soviet team practised at Maple Leaf Gardens recently. Col.

Instead the Russians plan a morning practice and an afternoon soccer game to the University of Toronto. Korotkov ordered his players to drink nothing but milk during their stay here but otherwise gave their appetites a free rein.

Prince Albert Broadcaster Likes Hometown Mintos In SJHL
PRINCE ALBERT. Sask. There promises to be more interest in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey league during the 1957-58 hockey season, than there has been for years. The reason for this being the six clubs operating in the league will more than likely be much closer to one another come Feb., when the season ends, than they have been for years.
