Satisfied To Be The Playmaker 52 Assists Tied Pivot For Second
CHICAGO, Ill.— Of the top twenty scorers in the National Hockey League this past season only one—Bill (Red) Hay of the Chicago Black Hawks, had less than 20 goals. Hay’s goal total was 11 but his 52 assists, which tied him for second in the league, gave him a total of 63 points and ninth place in the individual NHL scoring list. He missed nine games during the season. Top assist man was New York’s Andy Bathgate, with 56, while All-Star center Stan Mikita. Hay’s teammate on the Black Hawks, tied Red with 52 assists. It has been said of Hay that if he shoots the puck at the net early in the game and doesn’t score a goal, he spends the rest of the evening passing the puck to his linemates. In Hay’s case,…
All Is Peaceful On The Vancouver Hockey Scene
EDMONTON, Alta.— Still nothing of any definite nature for Vancouver’s immediate Western Hockey League plans. Since lumberman L. D.

It was less than a year ago that they sorted themselves out after Detroit Red Wings and the Comets came to the parting of the ways. “I have to interpret no news as being good news,” McBride comments. “I believe that Montreal would announce its plans as quickly as possible. If the Canadiens did contemplate a…
Dollard Turns Fan Boos Into Earned Cheers
CHICAGO, Ill.— “This has to be the best game Dolly has ever played.” The speaker was Chicago Black Hawk coach Rudy Pilous after his defending Hawks had blasted their way back into contention in the Stanley Cup finals against Toronto with a 3-0 win in game No. Three and the first game of the series on Chicago ice. Stan Mikita, Ab McDonald and Bronco Horvath scored the Chicago goals and “Mr. Goalie,” Glenn Hall, picked up his second shutout of the playoffs (the other in the semi-final round finale against Montreal). But it was veteran defenseman St. Laurent, an oft-abused player during the season by the Chicago fans, who was singled out as the star of the game. As an example, Hall, who seldom comments on individual players and who praised the entire defense…
