ON THE SIDELINES
ON THE SIDELINES • THE NOVEMBER SENSATION in the EPHL has been the performance of Trois-Rivieres Lions and general-manager Del Dugre and coach Gerry Desaulniers are modestly taking the bows. While it’s apparent to outsiders that the acquisition of goaler Claude Evans and defenseman Dino Mascotto put much needed glue into the back division, coach Desaulniers claims that the entire team has taken on new life. Through a stretch of 12 games the Lions roared and clawed their way to seven triumphs, and steeled for two draws while taking only two setbacks. In this surge the Trifluvians trounced every club in the league and Royals got their comeuppance three times succumbing to two calsominings in the gargain. In 13 games Evans permitted only 31 goals for an average of 2.3 per, while Desaulniers and…
‘Meatball’ Putting Polish On Knights’ Kids In IHL Fight
OMAHA, Neb.— A thrice broken left leg abbreviated Metro Prystai’s major league hockey career, but there is no argument that he will be putting his best foot forward this year in his freshman year as coach of the Omaha Knights. Prystai, a native of Yorkton, Sask., spent 10 years in the National Hockey League—the early seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks and six with the Detroit Red Wings. “Meatball” as he is known, is confident his Knights will prove a popular addition to Omaha’s sports scene. “We have a real young club,” commented Prystai, “but I think we have a club that no one is going to push around. The average age of our club is 22 and what they might lack in experience at this stage, -is overshadowed by their hustling and…
Phil Short On Brawn, Long On Brain At Pivot Toe Rates Him Solid Centre On The Canucks
MONTREAL, Que.— What’s the secret of the “Thin Man”? Brain, and not brawn, that’s what’s keeping the “phantom” of the Montreal Canadiens, Phil Goyette, in hockey’s gruelling big time today. Goyette, a David among the goliaths of the National Hockey League, has developed into one of the most dependable defensive players in the game despite his frail-looking exterior. Phil has been rated the soundest all-round centre with the four-time world champions by Coach Toe Blake, which is saying a lot when you consider the Habs also have some pretty fair pivots named Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard, Ralph Backstrom and Donnie Marshall. But Goyette doesn’t overhelm his audiences like the Canadiens’ “super stars”, and he’s not likely to win any plaudits as a goal scorer either. However, behind his almost lacklustre style of play revolves probably…
