Seattle scored 11 goals in their week-end game series with Saskatoon-St, Paul in the Minnesota city. Unwanted Regals Find Some Hope In St. Paul, But None In Saskatoon WINNIPEG, Man.— Gentleman Jim Piggott, a veritable bear in construction business, will tell you it’s easier to build the Saskatchewan River Dam in one night than to fill a hockey rink with real, live fans. Jim signs the cheques for the team that nobody wants — the…
Little Scoring Gives Amerks Big Headache
ROCHESTER. N.Y.— This just seems to be one of those seasons for the Rochester Americans. Everything the club tries to do turns out to backfire in one way or another—although the latest move may prove a good one in the long run. Desperate for centremen all season, the Amerks finally negociated a trade with the Providence Reds late one Friday afternoon—December 27 to be exact. The trade, which was to take effect following that weekend’s games, gave the Rochester club center Ray Cyr in exchange for winger Gary Collins. It was a trade just for the balance of the season. Gary Clicks Before Shift Yep, you can guess what happened. The trade was completed about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and that night Collins tallied two goals and three assists as Rochester belted Buffalo. 8-4. here. Gary…

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, — Indianapolis’ Chiefs, struggling in, and out of the cellar during the 1957 side of the current campaign, have suddenly come alive as genuine contenders in the International Hockey League. Coach Leo Lamoureux’s skaters were only three points out of second place as the New Year approached and enjoying a three game winning streak slowed only by a 3-3 tie here Sunday (Dec. 28) against the Toledo Mercurys. The Chiefs, carrying more allaround potential than their record indicates, have more than held their own with the fivetime champion Cincinnati Mohawks this year. Split With Cincinnati Lamoureux’s ice athletes have divided six games with the Mohawks and twice overcome a 2-1 deficit in the third period to gain the decision. Unfortunately, the Hoosier club floundered miserably against the likes of Toledo and Ft. Wayne’s…
Rangers’ Fan Club Grows Up To 2,000; May Sponsor Loop
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The biggest hockey fan club in the world, the Rangers Fan Club, is eight years old today, but the Blues boosters won’t start celebrating until January 25 th. That’s when approximately 300 members embark on their greatest venture, a 500mile trip to Toronto to see their favorites battle the Maple Leafs. Chances are there would be more aboard but Maple Leaf Gardens, with most seats sold on a season plan, can accomodate only a limited number of visitors. There are more than 2,000 members in the Rangers Fan Club with 3,000 the membership goal for 1958. Such an imposing registration would have been unthinkable during the 19 50-51’ campaign when the Fan Club was founded. Boucher Started It All The fact that the club was able to get off the ground is a tribute…
