Your Kind Of Player
TORONTO, Ont.—Thirty six year old Allan Stanley of the Toronto Maple Leafs doesn’t have to be reminded that he’s 36, or that he’s supposed to have hung up his blades by now. But many National League fans have to be reminded that Stanley is one of the reasons the Toronto Maple Leafs have made such a great race of it this year. The veteran rearguard, despite his age and old legs is playing some of the best hockey of his career. The 13 year NHL veteran has been a standout on the Leafs defense and only his brilliant play back there, through all kinds of club injuries, has made life bearable for Johnny Bower. Just how much longer Stanley will continue to go on is not known. He was voted the number…
Habs Nix Kamloops As A Training Spot
KAMLOOPS, B. C.—The Montreal Canadiens politely turned down an offer by this city to train here in 1962. The offer was made some weeks ago and the Habs dispatched a member of their staff to look over the town’s facilities. Last week General Manager Frank Selke of the Canadiens told Mayor Jack Chilton of Kamloops that the town would not suit the Habs as a training centre.

Head Second In Oregon’s Athlete-Of-Year Voting
PORTLAND, Ore.—Don Head, goaltender for the Portland Buckaroos of the Western Hockey League who now is on the sidelines recuperating from a severe hip muscle injury, was a finalist in the quest for Oregon’s Athlete-of-the-Year for 1961 at the annual Bill Hayward Awards banquet held by the state’s Sportswriters and Sportscasters Assn. Head, netminder for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League the first half of the season, was cited for his leadership and excellent play in the 1960-61 campaign which saw him take WHL Rookie-of-the-Year honors and All-Star goaltending laurels. Head led the WHL that season with a 2.72 average. Winner of the award was Terry Baker, Oregon State University football and basketball star. Baker was called the top all-around college athlete by Sports Illustrated magazine. The Buckaroos, winners of the…
