Underdog Chicks Bare Teeth As Glaude Puts Sock Into Northerners
MONTREAL, Que.— Chicoutimi Sagueneens, hottest club over the holiday period in the Quebec Hockey League, were well-chilled when they hit the Forum, Sunday, Jan. 4. They had won four straight games, but they met a “Waterloo” for their winning streak when they succombed to a 9-2 blistering by the Royals.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.—When they sit down to consider the player who was the most valuable to his team in the current American Hockey League season they’ll have a hard job skipping over Rochester’s Rudy Migay. Migay, the slim center star of the Amerks, has been up and down between the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL and Rochester twice this season. At one time the Leafs recalled him in an emergency and then they won two and the story broke that the Leafs couldn’t win without him. But when the emergency call was up the Leafs returned him to Rochester with plans to fake him back to Toronto on a regular basis. It never happened. And Rochester fans are happy for that. Migay, a tenacious checker and one of the best penalty killers…
