Yackel Calls His Millers For Flag
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.— Ken Yackel, Minneapolis Millers’ personable player-coach is both confident and optimistic about his club winning the International Hockey League regular season championship and postseason crown.. “In addition to us having three games in hand over St. Paul,” commented Yackel, “Seven out of our last ten games are at home. This should put us in pretty good position to hold onto our leaguelead.” As this story is being sent-off to THE HOCKEY NEWS, Minneapolis holds a one-point margin over St. Paul, with Muskegon four points behind the Millers; Omaha, five; and Ft. Wayne, nine. Yackel felt that, “Anyone of the four top clubs can finish on top, with Ft. Wayne the only club having a slim chance in making the playoffs.” The acquisition of Danny Summers and Des Maroney, defenseman and forward respectively, will…
Estevan Wraps Up 1st Pennant; Playoffs Open Up
SASKATOON, Sask.— The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League will introduce a new playoff system this month. Commissioner Frank Boucher of Saskatoon has announced that the top six teams in the eightteam league will meet in a roundrobin series to decide two finalists. Each club will meet the other twice, once in each centre. The round-robin series will open Feb. 28 and will close March 19. The top two finishers will start a best-of-seven final on March 21. In the event of a tie in standings at the completion of the first series, placings will be decided, in order, by games won, games tied, games lost, goals for and goals against. One period of 10-minute overtime will be played in case of ties during games. Boucher said he believed it was the first time in Canada that such…
Rumor Button Pushed-Fans Snub Amherst
NEW GLASGOW, N.S.— It’s the same old story for the Maritime champion Amherst Ramblers: They’re still the biggest gate attraction on the road. And they’re still unable to attract crowds to their own rink. Ramblers, pennant winners of the Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League for the third consecutive season, jumped into a commanding lead in their best-of-seven semi-final series with the fourth place finishing Halifax - Wolverines. Amherst received a four-goal effort from scoring champ Alain Caron in the opener to win 7-3, but were beaten 7-5 by the Wolves when the clubs moved to Halifax for the second game. Ramblers moved ahead in the third tilt with a 5-3 verdict and then handed Halifax a 2-0 whitewashing in the fourth tilt. There were big crowds on hand for the second and fourth games…
Regan May Finish With New York
PITTSBURGH, Pa.— It’s quite conceivable that John H. Harris, who owns the American Hockey League franchise here, would do just about anything to improve a club which has been floundering in the western division cellar all season. But just why he would get rid of one of his better players in a move to shake up a doldrums-ridden club has the fans hereabouts buzzing around a lot more than the Hornets have in four months. Harris fired Larry Regan, his player-coach, in a sudden move February 17, following a 4-1 loss to Rochester. The loss of Regan leaves a big gap in the Hornet ranks. Aldege (Baz) Bastien, business manager, will fill in as coach for the rest of the season. But just who will fill in for Regan is a problem. The personable former Bruin…
