Player-of-the-week

PROVIDENCE, R. I. — Goaler Marcel Paille must have liked playing in the National Hockey League for the New York Rangers.

Fontinato returned the cheque, asking that it be donated to the Italian orphanage here. In a speech following the presentation. Lou had his audience in stitches. “When I first joined the Rangers I never earned a cent,” he said. “Everytime I met some Italiens I would ask them if they ever saw a game. When they said no I would give them two tickets — on me. “I would tell them to go see a game, but don’t forget to yell ‘we want Fontinato’. It cost me so much…
