Player - of - the - Week
BOSTON, Mass.— Hats off to Leo Labine of the Boston Bruins this week. Not only has the fiery Labine been playing some of the finest hockey of his career, but he has been an nspiration to his two linemates Charlie Burns and Jim Bartlett.

After finishing dead last in the seven-team Ontario Hockey Association junior “A” league the past two seasons and getting away to a dismal start this year, Hamilton has suddenly caught fire. With a new coach (Eddie Bush from Guelph) and a new name (they took the name of Red Wings from the sponsoring Detroit club, replacing their former “handle” Red Wings) Hamilton has accumulated its longest winning streak since entering junior “A” hockey in the 1953-54 season. The Red Wings “warmed up” with two ties with the league-leading Guelph Royals, then swept to double victories over the slumping St. Catharines Teepees and Peterborough Petes.
