Another Southener Joins EHL: Loop Brass Vote To Bring In Greensboro, N.C.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.— After three years of trying, Greensboro North Carolina has finally been admitted to the Eastern Hockey League. Along with the expected addition of New York, this will bring the EHL membership to a healthy eight teams next season. All of the six clubs presently in the loop have announced plans to return in 1959-60. Greensboro was voted into the league at a meeting in Johnstown. Only the formalities remain to make it official. They are: The necessary entrance fee and performance bond must be posted by May 1; a list of names of those who will operate the team must also be submitted for approval; 75 per cent of the team’s financing must be done by Greensboro residents, and a commission established to sponsor the club. A delegation of nine represented Greensboro at…
Rough Series Is Predicted If Maroons, Dutchies Meet
STRATFORD, Ont.— The injury-riddled North Bay Trappers and the shorthanded Windsor Bulldogs failed to make the playoff grade in the NOHA OHA group, leaving Chatham Maroons, Kitchener Dutchmen, Soo Greyhounds and Sudbury Wolves to battle it out for group honors, and should Chatham and Kitchener qualify for the finals, the fur may fly, according to reports from both cities, which intimate that there is considerable bad blood between the two clubs, as the result of some lusty, hard-hitting battles in their last two games. The first cry emanated from Kit chener, where the charge was made that teams like Chatham Maroons and Windsor Bulldogs were deliberately trying to injure some of the Dutchmen, especially highscoring Ken Laufman and veteran Bill Wylie. From Chatham comes the quote of Johnny Horeck, coach of the Maroons,…

CLEVELAND, O.— A “gag rule” was invoked on an American Hockey League player for the first time in the memory of this writer when Hershey’s Larry Zeidel was banished from a game in Cleveland the night of Wednesday Feb. 18. More than likely it was the first time in the history of the American Hockey League that a player was put under orders to keep quiet in his contacts with the newspaper reporters. Riotous Bruin Hershey’s Bears won the game from the Barons by a score of 2-1 in “sudden death” overtime. Zeidel, back in action against Cleveland for the first time since he was suspended for three games against Cleveland on Dec. 17, lasted only five minutes in this one. Referee Lou Farelli ordered him to the dressing room at 4:51 of the second period…
