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. Last season, there wasn’t any doubt as to which team was to finish 1st. the Flin Flon Bombers, and no doubt about which team would end up dead last, the Saskatoon Quakers. Both finished in their respective positions with room to spare. REGINA Before this season got underway, there was much noise out of Regina, building the Pats up as the Western winner, and right winger Bill Hicke as the new scoring champion.…

On The Sidelines SHAWINIGAN FALLS, Que. — A trip up here with the Montreal Royals gives a fellow a chance to renew touches with old friends. The management is hospitable, with Arthur Lacoursiere, Joe Tremblay and the other directors of the club bounteous hosts. They have a gallery-like room behind the first tier of seats, what would be called the amphi-theatre in more pretentious rinks. This gallery is enclosed and fronted with glass. Perhaps the directors of another era got the idea from the well-appointed Shawinigan Falls Curling Club a couple of blocks up the street. This directors’ room is used for entertaining. Suitable potables are offered to visitors who care to indulge, which makes it a natural rendez-vous for scribes who travel with the other QHI teams. Earl Sharpe, publicist for the Quebec…
Paille And Worsley Provide Trade-Bait
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Whether Marcel Paille or Gump Worsley permanently captures the New York goaltending job, the fact remains that one of the two is trade-bait for the “good fifth defenseman” New York needs. When Bill Gadsby was injured two weeks ago coach Phil Watson said he was “in trouble.” Gads formed the key to the Ranger power play aside from his notable defensive work. Watson replaced him with Larry Cahan and added that this was Gahan’s “big chance.” Dame Rumor In their first three games without Gadsby, New York won two and dropped one, a commendable effort. But with the enticement of a Jim Morrison. Dollar St. Laurent or, perhaps, Leo Boivin, the trade-winds (blown my Dame Rumor) continue to flow. It appears that either Toronto. Montreal or Boston — and not necessarily…
Manitoba Junior Hassle Settled
WINNIPEG, Man. — Action on the ice and in the committee rooms highlighted play in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League during the first week of the season. The big news was the suspension, first, of President Mo Simovitch and General Manager Denis Ball of the Brandon Rangers, and then the suspension of the entire team including manager Ray Frost and coach Paul Platz. The suspension of the team and coach was lifted three days later, however, as this was being written both Simovitch and Ball were still suspended. The suspension of Ball and Simovitch arose when they used player Dave Richardson, a 16 year-old left-winger, who had been ruled ineligible to play junior hockey by the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association. The M.A.H.A. had backed a move by the Greater Winnipeg Minor Hockey…
