All Out Fight For EPL Jobs On
MONTREAL, Que.— From all accounts Gilles Boisvert, the experienced custodian who was handed to Sudbury Wolves by Jack Adams, in line with Detroit Red Wings project to give the Eastern Pro loop entry from Northern Ontario a lift, is going to have a real hassle to hold the goal-keeping job. Boisvert was expected to be first stringer, and it is on the cards that Murph Chamberlain will be inclined to go with an old hand. But Cesare Maniago, the over-age junior from Toronto St. Michaels, has been showing such a flair in practice and exhibitions that it is likely to be battle between the two twine-tenders until Chamberlain tips his mitt a few days before the new pro circuit gets underway. The Wolves are late starters. Though Montreal Royals traveled to Sault Ste.…
Milt Must Find Aid For McKenney For Bruins To Pick Up 1st Place Scent
BOSTON, Mass.— If the Boston Bruins finished second last season while lacking two of their key players for more than one-third of their games, where are they likely to finish this season? Since the Montreal Canadiens are still in the National League the Brains are not likely to finish first. But they may finish a stronger second than they did a year ago. How well the Bruins fare seems contingent upon two developments. One is whether or not they can produce another line to complement their line of Bronco Horvath, Johnny Bucyk and Vic Stasiuk. The other is how fortunate they are in escaping injuries to their many veterans. Two years ago, until a line of Don McKenney, Fleming Mackell and Jerry Toppazzini broke out late in the schedule, Horvath, Bucyk and Stasiuk carried the Bruins…
Four Newcomers Set To Polish Up Phil’s Tarnished Rangers
NEW YORK, N.Y.— Treading on thin ice, the Rangers open the NHL season in Chicago, Oct. 7th with four newcomers and a prayer. Replacing the departed Hank Ciesla, Les Colwill and Jack Bownass are defensemen Ian “Crash” Cushenan, Irwin Spencer, center Brian Cullen and right wing Ken Schinkel. Following a training period studded with surprises, the Blues also announced that rookie—almost—Art Stratton would be farmed to Springfield for further seasoning. Stratton, a center, cost the Rangers in excess of $20,000 but was found wanting during pre-season workouts. The brass felt he’d do the club more good by getting AHL experience. Asked what Stratton lacked, a member of the Ranger front office replied: “It’s not that Art was bad but rather a case of his being not as good as what we have on the club.” Ingarfield No.…
Lynn Gets Fed Up Seeing Habs Take Home The Loot
MONTREAL, Que.—The Montreal Canadiens took home most of the loot at the All-Star dinner held in Montreal last week. One gentleman who wasn’t on hand to see them receive their awards was General Manager Lynn Patrick of the Boston Bruins. Lynn was at the dinner, but when awards time came around he left the room. “I’ve been watching those guys taking home the spoils for four straight years now,” said Patrick. “I’m just fed up watching them do it.” Lynn, a tough competitor as a player, is just as tough a competitor as a general manager. “The only time I’ll be in that room watching is when the Boston Bruins are taking home the spoils,” he said.…
