Hendy. who has awakened from a horrible nightmare to discover that it wasn’t a nightmare, is not standing still with a team that has nearly forgotten how to win.

After 10 games, he made a deal for Bob Robertson, Providence defenseman noted for his muscle work. After 11 games, he made a deal for George McAvoy, another Providence defenseman who has been serving with the New Westminster Royals of the Western Hockey League. And Hendy is not through. He’ll keep looking and keep talking. Hendy,…
