Habs, Leafs Feud Over Rochester Player Deals
THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY WEEKLY VOL. II—No. 3 Entered as Second Class Matter Post Office, Rouses Point. N.Y. MONTREAL, OCTOBER 25, 1958 PRICE: FIFTEEN CENTS Back In The Same Old Bin ROCHESTER, N.Y.— Overshadowing the early-season play of the Rochester Americans has been a “quarrel” between the “coparents” of the Amerks. Even before the Amerks opened their home schedule on October 12 there were rumors that Rochester probably wouldn’t finish the 1958-59 American Hockey League season with both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens owning part of the team. First evidence of another rhubarb (there were several such incidents last season) came to light in a story appealing in The Toronto Globe and Mail. Staff Smythe, chairman of the Maple Leafs, was quoted in reference to Rochester, as saying: “It’s an untenable situation. The only solution is…
Hawks-Rangers Opener First In 28 Years, Ends The Same
CHICAGO, III.— When the Black Hawks opened the National Hockey League season for 1958-59 October 8 by hosting the Rangers it marked the first, time these two teams had skated in the opener at the Chicago Stadium in 28 years. The last time was November 16, 1930. No one can deny that the NHL has gone through a countless number of changes in these nearly three decades and higher scoring has been one of the major changes in play. Be this as it may, both games wound up in the same score—a 1-all tie. This was just about the only tiling common between the two games, however, and while we are at it, here are a few of the differences between then and now… There were 10 teams in action in 30—five each in…
Till In Pembroke Goes Broke, Lenser Tosses In Kings’ Towel
CORNWALL. Ont.— Pembroke, a name long associated with senior A hockey in Canada, has followed many other cities, like Stratford and Owen Sound, to senior extinction. The Lumber Kings threw in the sponge this week in the Eastern Division of the Senior OHA. This reduces the league roster to five teams, Whitby Dunlops, Belleville MacFarlands, Kingston Merchants, Cornwall Chevies and Ottawa-Hull Canadiens. Since Belleville is leaving for the World Tournament, the other four clubs will compete in the playoffs. The Pembroke move came as no surprise to the senior hockey operators. Wally Lenser took over the club last winter and guided them to a second place finish and the league playoff finals. He was rumoured to have dropped close to ten thousand dollars on his first venture in senior hockey. However after the season…
