Reay Shows Fire As T-Birds Big Leader
MONTREAL, Que.— Billy Reay couldn’t have digested those early rave reports about the blitz forecasted for the Hull Ottawa Canadiens in the early action in the Eastern Pro Hockey League. If the Sault St. Marie coach read the glowing accounts about the vaunted speed and class of the shock troops Sammy Pollock has mustered under playing coach Glen Skov, it’s obvious that he (Reay) took it for granted the other team leaders were merely trying to alibi defeat by building up the EPHL Habs. Whereas it had been written here and in many other journals that the H-0 forces were unlikely to meet defeat in their first ten games, the T-Birds of the Soo, buried that myth when they humbled the Habs 5-3 in the sixth league outing of the latter team.…
NATIONAL LEAGUE
HAWKS LOOKING FOR FIRST Perhaps the excitement around Chicago these days stems from frustration. The Black Hawks, on top in the NHL, have never won the Prince Of Wales Trophy, symbolic of the National Hockey League championship. The Hawks entered the NHL on September 25th 1926. HART WELL SPREAD While Gordie Howe of the Red Wings seems to have a monopoly on the Hart Trophy, actually it isn’t so. In the last seven season five different players have been named MVP. They are Howe, three times, Andy Bathgate, Rangers, Jean Beliveau, Montreal, Ted Kennedy, Toronto and Al Rollins, Chicago.

‘It’s Pressure,’ He Says Of The Rash Of Fights
MONTREAL, Que.— The early weeks of the new National Hockey League season has been highlighted by the fast start of the Chicago and the unexpected poor showing of the champion Montreal Canadiens. But the young season has also been punctuated by what seems to be more than a normal amount of fighting, brawling, high-sticking injuries, spectator incidents and “chippy” hockey in general. The defending champion Montreal Canadiens have been the victims of what coach Toe Blake considers more than just accidental injures. He claims at least two of his players — Phil Goyette and Henri Richard — were deliberately injured by opposing players. In other instances there were major brawls at Madison Square Garden between the Rangers and Chicago, an another between Detroit and Boston. In Boston, a fan tossed a used flash bulb…
Estevan Bruins Surprise SJHL Funs By Romping Into First
SASKATOON. Sask.— Howie Milford’s Estevan Bruins are the rage of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League at the moment, boasting a five-game unbeaten record after testing four of six opponents. Conceded an inside track in the 1960-61 title race following a five-for-one summer player swap, Bruins have exeeded all expectations and have easily beat back every early threat. At times in the opening weeks Estevan has been deadlocked with both Regina Pats and Flin Flon Bombers, considered the two main threats, but promptly breezed through crucial games. Bruins whipped Pats, 7-4, and followed up with a 5-1 trimming of Bombers. Estevan manager Scotty Munro still has some fine import talent riding the bench, and if a special request by him for “import” considerations goes through, he’ll be stronger than ever. Bruins picked up five Manitoba players…
