Three Bears Hit 600 Pts In Month
HERSHEY, Pa.— Three Hershey Bears skaters made American League history within a span of a month when the trio all reached the 600 point mark in their careers. They are Willie Marshall, Dunc Fisher and Arnie Kullman whose combined years of AHL service totals 29 seasons. It marked the first time in the loop’s 24 year history that three skaters from the same club attained the coveted 600 circle in the same season. Prior to the start of the 1959-60 campaign only seven players showed a career record of 600 points. Only two, Fred Glover, Cleveland, and Harry Pidhirny, Springfield, were still active. Kullman, a native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, was the first of the Bears to hit the mark. He nailed his 600th point Jan. 20 against Springfield. His career record as of Feb. 24…
Big Kick Gets St. Boniface Junior A Year Suspension
WINNIPEG, Man.— Eighteen-year-old Paul Sexsmith, St. Boniface Canadien goalkeeper, was suspended for the 1960-61 season by the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, following an attack on Ranger’s Don McKenzie in the fifth and deciding game of their league semi-final. Sexsmith, who had previously drawn two minors and a misconduct in the same game, kicked McKenzie when the Ranger player fell by the goal crease. He was given a match penalty by Referee Vic Lindquist. Earlier in the season Sexsmith drew a three-game suspension for going into the crowd after a heckler. During the league season he had 36 minutes in penalties and in the fourth game of the series with Rangers he picked up another 16. Altogether it was a sad ending for Canadiens. Highly-rated in the Memorial Cup chase, the Habitants took a…
Rochester Players In Goal Rush, Score 21 In One Week
ROCHESTER, Minn.— A 21-goal weekend scoring barrage has pushed six Rochester Mustangs into the top 10 positions of the U.S. Central Hockey League’s individual scoring race. Mustang Coach Ken Johannson accounted for four goals and five assists to boost his point total to 76, just one fewer than the front-running total of 77 posted by Dick Dougherty of Green Bay. Dougherty has finished his regular-season play; Johannson has one game to go. Joining the top 10 for the first time this season was the Mustangs’ Gordy Gosselin, who now ranks seventh with 39 points. The scoring leaders: In last weekend’s only action, the Mustangs boosted their second-place record to 17-6 with 11-1 and 10-4 triumphs over last-place Des Moines. It was the final action of the season for the Ice Hawks. Here…

ON THE SIDELINES • AMID ACID CRITICISM LEVELLED at the Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen for their failure to land the Olympic hockey championship for Canada again, it was left to Bob Wilson, veteran scout for the Chicago Black Hawks to come up with the only tangible idea that made sense. Wilson, of course, is the man responsible for the build-up of Sault Ste. Marie Thunderbirds as a contending force in the EPHL after a somewhat dreary start—but as Rudyard Kipling used to say “that’s another story”. In Montreal when the T-Birds last met the Royals, both in pregame discussions, and on the air between periods of tall Harry Wolfe’s broadcast back to the Soo, Wilson revealed his plan. “I could pick a better team than the Dutchmen out of this here Eastern Pro League. And I…
