Dutchies Send SOS For McKenzie When Wolf Pack Springs At Them
STRATFORD. Ont.— While the Belleville, Pembroke, Kingston and Cornwall teams in the eastern Ontario group of the senior “A” OHA are waging torrid tussles in the semi-finals, with the teams squared at two wins each at the time of writing, circumstances in the NOHA-OHA semi-finals are not too similar, because Windsor Bulldogs, who made the last group playoff berth solely by having a better goal average, sprang the real surprise by knocking off Soo Greyhounds in four straight games, the last two by lopsided 7-0 and 8-2 scores. The Greyhounds, who finished a good second in the regular schedule, can attribute their defeat largely to being plagued with injuries, while the Bulldogs were almost devoid of them. After dropping the first two games at Sault SteMarie by close scores, the Greyhounds were…
Haley, Perreault Best Bargains Bears Ever Pulled From Draft
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Two of the best investments the Hershey Bears brass ever made were in a smoke-filled hotel room in Montreal last summer during the annual player draft. The first was to grab goalie Bobby Perreault and the second to latch on to Len Haley, one of the best looking rookies to wheel down American Hockey League ice from a right wing spot. Hershey laid out a total of $15.000 for the pair, a bargain that would shame Macy’s. The 27-year-old Perreault is one in the same chap who stole the headlines in Rochester last year when he came on in relief at the tailend of the season and backstopped the club clear to the Calder Cup finals. Rochester, for some unexplained reason, stuck him on the Shawinigan Falls list when draft time…
Reay Sees Ray Of Hope In Rougher Duffer As Leader
TORONTO, Ont. — As if things were not rough enough through his rookie season as coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Billy Reay wound up the campaign promoting a rougher Duffer. Dick Duff, the pride of Leafs’ left wing corps, was alternately one of the disappointments, then one of the major consolations in Toronto’s unsuccessful campaign to avert a record two straight seasons out of the Stanley Cup playoffs. He ran into the most serious slump of his three-year-old professional career when he travelled 12 mid-season games with only one goal. And he also encountered his first major league injury, suffering a pulled groin that sidelined him through five games during Leafs’ last ditch stand. Yet all this did not prevent him from retaining his position as Leafs’ most successful goal-scorer and point-getter. And…
Lynn Angling With Soviets; Has A Chance
BOSTON, Maus.— Several of Russia’s top hockey prospects may be trying out for the Boston Bruins in the future. Lynn Patrick. General Manager of the Boston club, may be the super salesman of all time if he turns the trick, but he’s angling wiih Soviet officials to allow several highly-promising players to come here and try to make the N.H.L. Announcers Frank Fallon and Joe Costanza won’t be very happy if Patrick succeeds. Boston fans may be, though. “Russia has some fine players,” said Patrick, arriving home from the World championships at Oslo, Norway. “Russia has a very good centerman named Alexandrov. He and another center, Nilsen of Sweden, are definite N.H.L. prospects.” Did Patrick honestly feel there was a chance Russia would allow players to come here? “Yes I do,” he replied. “I…
