Eastern OHA Sr. Set To Lei OHA-NOHA Go Their Own Way
CORNWALL, Ont.— One day last spring, the two seanior ‘A’ hockey leagues in Ontario got together to make some big moves designed at cutting the rising costs of senior A hockey that was threatening the teams with extinction. At the meeting the clubs took some big moves. They set a salary limit. They put through a rule that made professionals sit out a year after their reinstatement before being able to return to the Ontario Senior teams. Other rules all designed to cut costs included limits to what an overage junior could make and no affiliated clubs. That was last June. Here it is the first of December and a couple of the rules have already been broken or done away with. The trouble all started at an OHA-NOHA meeting last week. They had adopted…
Lehman Last, Broda Next Goaler To Coach In NHL
Is He Next Coach? CHICAGO, Ill.— They are saying just about everywhere except in the Toronto front office that Turk Broda will be handed the Maple Leaf coaching reins any day now. If and when it happens (if it hasn’t already), the stocky Broda will only be the second goalie in NHL history to serve as a bench leader… The first netminder to acquire a coaching job was Hughie Lehman with the Black Hawks in 1927-28—only the teams second year in the NHL. In all fairness to Mr. Broda it should be hoped that his tenure of duty will last longer than Lehman’s who lasted a full 12 games. Lehman was Chicago’s regular man in the cage in the team’s inaugural year in the big league—1926-27 and did a creditable job as the club…
Player-of-the-Week
ROCHESTER. N. Y.—Little Gerry McNeil, who gave up a National Hockey League career to go into business some five years ago and then made a comeback, is playing some of the greatest hockey of his career with the Rochester Americans at the moment. In fact the experts are crediting McNeil with keeping the Americans in the thick of the AHL race. Gerry, who had some amazing hockey seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, including one Vezina Trophy year, last week came up with two brilliant games os the Americans picked up three of a possible four points. They defeated the Springfield Indians 8-4 in Rochester on Friday night, December 5th and then held the powerful Hershey Bears to a 1-1 overtime tie at Rochester to jump out of the AHL cellar. Their three points…
