‘Ukes’ With McKenney At Centre, Still Tough ‘Ukes’
King… BOSTON, Mass.— For most of last season the Boston Bruins’ scoring load was carried by a line which was named in error. The line was composed of Bronco Horvath, Johnny Bucyk and Vic Stasiuk. Someone dubbed it the “Uke Line”, supposing all three to be of Ukranian origin. But Horvath’s ancestry is Croatian, not Ukranian. For last season Horvath scored 30 goals, Buryk and Stasiuk 21 apiece. That’s 72 goals for the line.

Barrie Flyers proved St. Kitt’s were human knocking them off 5-2 right in St. Catharines, the first game Teepees have lost on home ice. The Flyers win snapped St. Kitt’s five game winning steak that they embarked on after Guelph had ended their first skein at seven. It also moved Hap Emm’s team into third place…

During the first 46 games of the current season, the AHL had only one tie. More Honors Frank Mathers, playing coach of Hershey who seems to pile up new honors each game, added another on November 8 against Rochester then he scored the 300th assist of his career.
