Bruins Shift Mohns Back To Defense To Beef Up Thin Corps
BOSTON, Mass.— The most recent experiment with Doug Mohns as a forward may be over for this season. Then again, the latest experiment with Mohns as a defense man may be only temporary. If Mohns finds his hockey life with the Bruins slightly confusing at times, his finding is understandable. Mohns has gone home from Boston Garden as a left wing, only to find on his return the next day he has become a left defenseman. Or a right wing… or a combination of two or more. Mohns was put back on defense the other day after injuries to Defensemen Leo Boivin and Bob Armstrong. He had started his previous 11 games this season as a forward. The Bruins’ Mr. Versatility has done some traveling in his eight seasons here. 1953—Started with the Bruins as a 19-year old left…
NSSHL Gets Set For Lid Opener: Fahey Quits Job
NEW GLASGOW, N.S.— With the opening of the Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League rapidly approaching, news from the five participating clubs was still on the quiet side. Most news during the past few days made here in New Glasgow where the New Glasgow Rangers were making changes they hoped would boost the club out of the league cellar. Rumors circulated in this Pictou County that Rangers were negotiating for the services of former National Hockey League goalie Al Rollins but the executive of the team would not commit themselves on the matter. It is believed, however, that it is only a rumor. Rangers are planning to bring in a goalie from outside the Maritimes, as well as a defenceman and centre. Most of last year’s club is back to form the nucleus of…
Teepees Creep To Top Spot In OHA
ST. CATHARINES, Ont— After less than two weeks of play the Ontario Hockey Association junior “A” series has already had its first “rumble”. Late in the third period of a game in Maple Leaf Gardens, with St. Michael’s leading Peterborough Petes 5-4, Jack Cole of the Dukes stepped out of the i penalty box, picked up an intended “iced puck” and headed for the Peterborough goal. Cole was checked and brought down by Peterborough’s persuing Reg Mulholland and Referee Merle Glassford awarded a penalty shot. This precipitated one of the biggest rhubarbs on Gardens ice in many a season. The Petes’ Hugh McGonial staged a temper tanstrum and fired the puck at the referee. The Petes’ Coach Scotty Bowman threw a bundle of stick on the ice and it was 15 minutes before order was…
Canucks Barrel Ahead In SJHL
SASKATOON, Sask.— Metro Prys-tai’s hard-working Moose Jaw Canucks are determined to use Melville Millionaires as a stepping stone to Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League recognition. Canucks, dismal cellar-dwellers each of the past two seasons, have shown many signs of new life this fall, and much of their success revolves around a surprising jinx they hold over the Moneymen. As a matter of fact, if it wasn’t for Moose Jaw, the Millionaires and their rookie pilot, Don Abel, would be having themselves quite a ball in the league standings. With nine games under their belts, Melville has easily mastered all club except Moose Jaw — presently ranked fifth. Millionaires have only two defeats and a tie against them and all are the responsibility of Prystai’s Canucks. The clubs fought to a 6-6 deadlock during their first meeting…
