Hab Cast-Off Hits 20-Goal Club Annually Andy Has Been In Every Blue Game Since’55
NEW YORK, N.Y.— Andy Hebenton plays hockey like a bashful rhinoceros. That is why, while nobody seems to have noticed him, the right wing Scot has scored more than 20 goals in each of his three straight NHL years. Plunging up and down right wing like the forceful rhino, Andy is a skater who is hard to stop because of his strength and determination. But despite these manly attributes, Hebenton is a placid type who avoids fighting in a manner that would have pleased Mahatma Ghandi. “It doesn’t pay for me to fight,” Andy explained as his patented sheepish grin broke over his face. “I can think of two, maybe three, battles I’ve been in during my entire career. One was with Warren Godfrey when he was with Tacoma and I was with…
Schmidt’s In Solid, But GM May Put New Bruins In Bs’ Hive
BOSTON, Mass.— The year 1958 was a happy one for the Bruins for the greater part of its 12-month run. On the basis of its beginning 1959 may not be as happy. Last February the Bruins shook off an epidemic of injuries and broke out as one of the strong teams of the National League. In March they belted the New York Rangers out of the Stanley Cup playoffs with a record-setting offense and a hard hitting defense. In April they collaborated with the Montreal Canadiens to provide hockey fans with one of the most colorful Stanley Cup finals ever. Although their record this fall was only me diocre the Bruins found the hockey flame still burning hot here, tor attendances were running at a record rate. Generally speaking, ol’ 1958 seemed likely to go down as a…
Only Coley Can’t See East-West In Cup Series Again
CALGARY, Ata.—East is east and west is west and ne’er the twail shall meet. The old cliche’ has gone round and round but this coming spring it might have to meet plenty of contradictions. The talk of both the Western and Quebec Hockey League has been lately the proposed continuation of the Edinburgh cup series but the question brought to mind is it possible in the season lateness. Most folks would rather be planting their garden in May than watching “shinny” in a warm ice palace. Words of challenge came from the East when Frank Carlin, genial GM of the Montreal Royals said his front-running quintet are ready to meet all comers. “I think it would be a great thing for hockey to meet the champs of the West. I believe…
Player-of-the-Week
CHICAGO, III.—It’s been a long time since the Chicago Black Hawks have created such interest in their club, not only in Chicago but throughout the NHL. Many players are contributing to their current success, but none more than Goaler Glenn Hall. It was only last week that Glenn was reported to be in the dog house in Chicago. In fact the rumors had him on his way to Toronto in a trade. But then he snapped back into his old ways. When he did the club started to go. At this writing they had gone five straight without a loss, racking up four wins and a tie. Even more unbelievable was the fact they won two of those games on the road. Last week, in four games, the Hawks won three and…
