EASTERN PRO LEAGUE
Hard on Goalers And even 19 goalers performed for clubs in the Eastern Professional League last season. The Kingston Frontenacs used five while the Montreal Royals and Sudbury Wolves each used four goalers. Kitchener-WaterIoo summoned three, Sault Ste. Marie two and Hull-Ottawa used the same goaler for the season. Pennington’s Record Starry Cliff Pennington’s record in the EPHL last season reads like a record book on its own. He won the league scoring crown; set a record for assists in a season (69); won the league rookie award; won the league’s ability and good conduct award; tied Skipp Burchell as the MVP in the league.

Rudy Names His Loafers-- Bobby Heads The List
CHICAGO, Ill.— It had been another tough weekend for the struggling Stanley Cup champion Black Hawks. After winning their second and third road games of the season (in New York and Boston during the week) they completely flubbed a chance to take a firm hold on fourth place when they lost twice to Detroit’s Red Wings in a home-and-home series, 3-0 and 3-2.

The home loss, 3-2 to Detroit when Gordie Howe stole the puck, faked out the Chicago defense and passed off to wingmate Vic Stasiuk…
Schedule Mixup Causes Problem In NOHA Senior
TIMMINS, Ont.— Travel is the one big item that eats into any profit that might be made in senior hockey today. Here in the North, winter travel is just that much more difficult than in other parts of the country with the heavy snow storms and freezing weather. In the Northern Ontario Hockey Association, the four clubs are well spread. The longest hop is a 225mile trip from Kapuskasing to Noranda, Quebec. The Kapsters are scheduled to make the trip seven times during the regular season, which means 3.000 miles to and from Noranda for the year. But last week they made a worthless trip. The GM’s journeyed to Noranda only to find the Recreational Centre in darkness. The angered Kapsters produced a schedule which had them in Noranda that night. Noranda officials…
