Campbell Says Clubs Not Too Concerned Over Western League’s Anti-NHL Stand

<p>OTTAWA, Ont.&mdash;</p><p>Canada will continue to send a hockey team to the Olympic Games, delegates to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association voted here at the close of their annual meeting.</p><p>Outgoing CAHA president Jack Roxburgh, in one of his final motions before yielding office to 52-year-old Art Potter of Edmonton, attempted to have Canada not ice a team in the 1964 Olympics but the move was voted down 5-2.</p><p>Roxburgh maintained that the International Olympic Committee should broaden its Olympic oath to permit athletes competing in the Games to accept money in lieu of income losses while they are away from their jobs. It was his feeling that Canadians, notably the hockey players, could not truthfully take the oath because the CAHA permitted them to take allowances for expense, which meant his group was &lsquo;winking its eye&rsquo; at the oath.</p><p>Secretary-manager Gordon Juckes said Canada is justified in paying the allowance. He said the Olympic teams are approved solely by the International Ice Hockey Federation on behalf of the Olympic Committee which permits players to receive monies to compensate for loss of salaries.</p><p>The CAHA also decided to name the Olympic team in August and the method by which the squad will be selected. The practice in the past has been for the CAHA to select a strong senior club with reinforcements.</p><p>Bob LeBel, past president of the CAHA and head of the IIHF, said Trail Smoke Eaters, 1962 Allan Cup champions, would forego the 1963 World championships, to which they have been invited, for the Olympic trip.</p><p>In other CAHA business, Potter was named president to replace Roxburgh. Lionel Fleury of Quebec City was elected new first vice-president and Fred Page of Fort William, second vice-presidents.</p><p>Delegates voted to return to Ottawa for their 1964 convention.</p><p>The CAHA made several rule changes during their meeting the most important of which was icing the puck should be called the instant the puck crosses the goal line. The rule would cover junior A and juvenile games for the first time next year. It is subject to the approval of the CAHA and NHL rules committees.</p><p>The present rule stipulates that a player must first touch the puck before the infraction is called.</p><p><b>Say OK for O&rsquo; Keefe</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Canada To Continue Participation In Olympic Games

<div class="byline">By DINK CARROLL</div><p>(As Seen In The Montreal Gazette)</p><p>The Chicago Black Hawks&rsquo; Bobby Hull appears to be a throwback to the days when hockey players refused to be gagged. He criticized the National Hockey League for playing too long a schedule while in Ottawa recently, a charge he made originally only last February.</p><p>He got off to a slow start last season and it wasn&rsquo;t until he was in full flight in February that he explained why. The explanation included a slap at the Black Hawks&rsquo; management.</p><p>&ldquo;I was sick of hockey when the season started,&rdquo; he said at the time. &ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t wait to take my uniform off after a game. Who could blame me? They worked us to death in training camp. We played 17 exhibitions and had two tough practices a day.</p><p>&lsquo;&lsquo;My feet were so sore that after a while I had no desire to play. There&rsquo;s no question in my mind that I would have had more goals this year if they had been easier on us.&rdquo;</p><p>It was at this point in his discourse that he issued what sounded suspiciously like an ultimatum to the Chicago Club:</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01407/1977051-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg" title="f0002-01" width="573" height="564"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>Bobby Hull</b></p><p><b>&hellip;Wonts Shorter Seoson</b></p></figcaption></div><p>&lsquo;&lsquo;I&rsquo;m not going to show up in training camp this September if the same situation exists. Either that, or I&rsquo;ll fake an injury and spend most of my time on the rubbing table. I&rsquo;ll be ready to open the season, anyway.</p><p>I&rsquo;m always in good shape.&rdquo;</p><p>If the Hawks&rsquo; management censured him for those remarks it was done in private, as the management never answered him publicly. But by that time he was well-launched-on the scoring drive that enabled him to tie the record of 50 goals in a single season, and it&rsquo;s possible that the management chose to regard the criticism as an idiosyncracy of a great hockey player.</p><h2><b>Too Much Hockey</b></h2><p>But Hull brought the subject up again by estimating that the Black Hawks played 100 games last season, including exhibitions, regular scheduled games and the playoffs.</p><p>&ldquo;And that&rsquo;s simply too much hockey,&rdquo; he declared.</p><p>He added that the schedule should be cut to 50 games&mdash;without cutting the salaries of the players&mdash;and that the owners can afford a shorter season.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll bet Chicago made over $1,000,000 last year,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We were very tired against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the finals after that tough semi-final against Montreal Canadiens. I guess we just didn&rsquo;t have enough left.&rdquo;</p><p>Speaking of money, he mentioned that he had no bonus clause in his contract for goals.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d much rather command a higher salary and be without it,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;But my contract does call for a matcher from the team for any league bonuses I get.&rdquo;</p><p>The last time we recall a player criticizing management publicly in the off-season was when Ted Lindsay remarked that the Detroit Red Wings lost the Stanley Cup when they traded Glen Skov to Chicago because he was the only player who could check Jean Beliveau. When the next season started Lindsay himself was with Chicago.</p><h2><b>Let The Players Talk!</b></h2><p>The press will welcome Bobby Hull&rsquo;s forthrightness, as they have long since discounted hockey players as a source of copy. They are the most reticent of professional athletes, though football players run them a close second.</p><p>We recall a time when Morley Callaghan, the author, was writing a story in which one of the characters was a youth who had made some sudden money. What could a boy be doing that would bring him that money legitimately? We suggested that he make him a hockey player.</p><p>&ldquo;No, I&rsquo;d have to find out what motivates him and hockey players just don&rsquo;t talk,&rdquo; he replied. &ldquo;I guess I&rsquo;ll make him a fighter.&rdquo;</p><p>Baseball players make good copy because they are uninhibited, maybe because the game they play was organized on a professional basis long before the others and needed publicity in the earlier years. But even they have shown a tendency of late to become organization men.</p><p>Sam Etcheverry admitted not long ago that he was limited in what he could say for publication by a clause in his contract. We don&rsquo;t think there is any such clause in a hockey player&rsquo;s contract, but they can be fined for anything they say or do which is considered &ldquo;prejudical to hockey.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s how Andy Bathgate was nailed when his byline appeared over a magazine piece in which five or six players were fingered for spearing.</p><p>Maybe Bobby Hull will lead a movement which will make the players vocal, but we doubt it.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hockey Star Sounds Off

<p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>The National Hockey League teams&mdash;with the possible exception of the New York Rangers&mdash;don&rsquo;t intend losing any sleep over the Western Hockey League&rsquo;s attempt to cut off big league affiliation with the minor West Coast circuit.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02389/1977089-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="281" height="435"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Muzz Patrick</b></figcaption></div><p>Words to this effect were expressed here by NHL President Clarence Campbell who declared that his league had no intention of lodging a complaint against the obvious anti-NHL position taken by the WHL over the recent sale of the Vancouver Canucks hockey club.</p><p>Said Campbell, &ldquo;We have always thought the WHL was eager to have the co-operation and assistance of the NHL, but if the Western League thinks it is big enough to go it alone, that is strictly their business.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;We might consider it unusual that the WHL should take the position it seemingly has, but it operates its own business and we have no cause to complain,&rdquo; added the NHL chief executive.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03353/1977082-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="272" height="433"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Clarence Campbell</b></figcaption></div><p>Campbell was commenting on the Western League&rsquo;s unexpected rejection of a proposed 50-50 ownership of the Vancouver franchise by both the New York Rangers&mdash;who have a working agreement with the Canucks&mdash;and former Vancouver mayor Fred Hume who once owned the defunct New Westminster Royals in the WHL.</p><p>Hockey observers pointed to the WHL action as meaning that club owners did not relish any more NHL affiliation in the league.</p><p>Several of the eight teams in the WHL have high hopes for a future &lsquo;National League&rsquo; on the West Coast and wish to operate as independently as possible with little interference from the NHL.</p><p>George Agar, coach of the Los Angeles Blades and a staunch supporter of the major league hockey cause in the West, probably best expressed the feelings of the WHL at its recent meetings in San Francisco, when he said:</p><p>&ldquo;If the WHL has any hopes of going big league we must stand alone and not allow the NHL too much foothold in our business.&rdquo;</p><p>Most WHL teams reportedly agreed with the statement.</p><p>While the majority of the NHL clubs representatives apparently took the WHL action in stride, Muzz Patrick, generalmanager of the Rangers, was slightly more concerned by the Western League&rsquo;s action.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a real slap in the face,&rdquo; said Patrick, &ldquo;but I can tell you now it won&rsquo;t effect our player agreement with Vancouver. I plan on sending them the same calibre Of players I&rsquo;d send if the Rangers owned half the club,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>The WHL directors twice refused to permit the sale of the Canucks to Hume and the Rangers in a joint deal. They finally consented to allow Hume to purchase the team for a reported $160,000 from the Pacific National Exhibition, provided the Rangers remained out of the transaction. Hume agreed to the league demands provided the PNE was acceptable to the new deal.</p><p>The WHL had spurned both the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Leafs in previous bidding for the Vancouver franchise. Vancouver businessman Harry Ornest, backed by Toronto, had offered $155,000 for the Canucks.</p><p>Earlier in the week-long &lsquo;Frisco meetings, the WHL rejected applications for new franchises sought by Long Beach, Calif., and Victoria, which had been promised full support by the Toronto Maple Leafs if the team was taken back into the league.</p><p>John Basset Jr., who headed a seven-man Victoria group, and Punch Imlach, manager-coach of the Toronto Leafs both attended the WHL sessions in an effort to promote the Victoria bid lending some credence to the belief Western officials rejected the bid because of the Leafs&rsquo; interest.</p><p>A league spokesman, when pressed for a query on the WHL&rsquo;s stand, said merely, &ldquo;It was decided at this time there would be no further expansion of our league.&rdquo;</p><p>The PNE took over the club last year after Coley Hall, who had operated the Canucks for years, withdrew from the Vancouver operation to launch a new WHL team in San Francisco.</p><p>The Canucks finished in last place in the 1961-62 WHL northern division and lost an estimated $45,000.</p><p>No decision was made by the Rangers on an earlier statement that they would train in Vancouver for the 1962-63 season when the deal was completed for purchase of the Canucks in conjunction with Hume. Patrick refused to comment on it until the June hockey meetings here.</p><p>Because of the setback in the Vancouver club sale, Rangers were reported certain to continue training in the East and possibly in Quebec Province.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

WHL Slams Door On Rangers In Bid For Vancouver Club; NHL Planning No Complaint

<p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>It&rsquo;s official now that long-range plans of the Detroit Red Wings are for Gordie Howe ultimately to become a coach.</p><p>The 44-year-old Sid Abel has been extremely busy since taking over the combined post of general manager-coach after the resignation of Jack Adams. He and Scout Jim Skinner have the task of replacing Bud Poile, who resigned as manager of the Red Wings&rsquo; farm club at Edmonton after Adams&rsquo; retirement. Poile wanted the managerial job in Detroit but Bruce Norris, president of the Wings, said Abel &ldquo;deserved the chance.&rdquo; Johnny Mitchell, their former Chief Scout, has rejoined the club as assistant to Abel. Donnie Graham has been promoted to chief scout in Eastern Canada, Clarence Moher will continue to scout for the Wings in the west.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got some deadwood to trim out of our organization,&rdquo; Abel said a couple of days ago. &lsquo;We&rsquo;ve got to make room for the youngsters.&rdquo;</p><p>There are six or seven definite pro prospects on the Hamilton Red Wings and Edmonton Oil Kings, the two junior teams sponsored by the Red Wings who met in the Memorial Cup final series. Before departing for his annual vaction in Florida, Jack Adams said he felt that the cycle had turned for the Detroit club with regard to young players.</p><p>Howe revealed that Abel and Norris had talked to him about becoming a coach when his playing days are over. They talked to him the same day that Adams&rsquo; retirement was announced.</p><p>&ldquo;Bill Gadsby and I are going to become assistant coaches this fall,&rdquo; said Howe, &ldquo;backstopping Sid in the training season.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Canadiens&rsquo; coach Toe Blake wholeheartedly endorsed the selection of Jacques Plante as winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy.</p><p>&ldquo;&lsquo;Who else deserved it as much as Jacques?&rdquo; asked Blake after the colorful French-Canadian netminder was named the holder of the 1961-62 most valuable player award in the National Hockey League.</p><p>&lsquo;&lsquo;I&rsquo;m certainly happy about this, I think Plante had a wonderful season. He was most deserving of the award,&rdquo; added Blake.</p><p>&lsquo;&lsquo;We would never have finished in first place without him. He had a terrific year. I&rsquo;m really glad because, if ever a goalie merited the Hart Trophy, Plante did the past season.&rdquo;</p><p>The Canadiens&rsquo; coach wasn&rsquo;t surprised either at Plante&rsquo;s brilliant comeback from the 1960-61 season, in which the masked netminder complained of a knee injury and was shipped to the minors for a while.</p><p>&lsquo;&lsquo;Plante&rsquo;s attitude in training camp was the tipoff,&rdquo; Toe pointed out. &ldquo;It was apparent that he was really going to try for a good season so I wasn&rsquo;t too surprised that he played so well.&rdquo;</p><p>Plante, the first goalkeeper to win the award since big Al Rollins turned the trick in 195354 with Chicago Black Hawks, polled 94 points out of a possible 180 to top the voting. Doug Harvey of Rangers was runner-up with 60 points and Bobby Hull of Chicago finished third with 53.</p><p>In winning the trophy, the 32-year-old Plante, a six-time winner of the Vezina Trophy, receives $1,000 from the N.H.L.</p><p>The voting was carried out by a panel of hockey writers and broadcasters in the six N.H.L. cities and points were awarded on the basis of five for a first choice, three for a second and one for a third. Voting was divided into two halves&mdash;games up to and including those of December 29. 1961, made up for the first half and games from that date until the end of the regular championship schedule made up the second half. A perfect selection for each half is 90 points. A unanimous choice for the season would poll 180 points.</p><p>Plante picked up 40 points in the first half and 54 in the second for his 94-point total. Harvey polled 53 points in the second half, which made him the leader at that stage, and seven in the second half.

Selection Most Deserving Says Coach Of Canadiens

<p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Winning the Hart Trophy was like pennies from heaven for Canadiens&rsquo; Jacques Plante.</p><p>The brilliant Plante stood to pick up close to $9,000 in bonuses as the result of being named the most valuable player in the National League this past season.</p><p>By winning the trophy award itself. Plante was enriched by $1,000 from the NHL. In addition, the big netminder also won the Vezina Trophy and was selected to the first all-star team, both of which carried bonus money of $1,000.</p><p>Jacques also pocketed $1,500 for being a member of the team that finished the regular NHL season in first place and an additional $750 for being on the losing team in the Stanley Cup semi-final playoffs. He earned a total of $5,200 in achievement or incentive money.</p><p>It is customary for the NHL club to match a player&rsquo;s league awards and in Plante&rsquo;s case it would mean another $3,000.</p><p>Though not official, it was also understood Plante had a chance to be reimbursed for a pay cut by the Canadiens made at the start of the 1961-62 season, which would raise his total amount of winnings close to the $9,000 mark in addition to his regular salary, which reportedly ran higher than $15,000.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Hockey selectors had eyes only for Canadiens&rsquo; young Bobby Rousseau as &lsquo;rookie of the year&rsquo; in the National Hockey League this past season.</p><p>The 21-year-old right winger of the Montreal Canadiens easily won the Calder Memorial Trophy for 1961-62.

The first hall consisted of games up to and including those of December Secures 141 Out of 180 Points To Beat Pennington, Stapleton 29, 1961, while the second half was from that date until the end of the regular championship schedule.

Rousseau Wins Rookie Award Easily

<div class="byline">By KEN McKENZIE</div><p>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>Little Dave Keon of the Toronto Leafs discovered that it pays to hustle in the National Hockey League while Claude Provost of the Montreal Canadiens found out that you can&rsquo;t coast when you are in the running for an individual player award.</p><p>Keon was named winner of the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for 1961-62 as he polled 71 points out of possible 180 to beat out Provost, who finished second with 57.</p><p>The irony of it all was that Provost held the first-half voting lead with 36 points. Keon was well in arrears with only 5. Then the smooth-skating Toronto centre started to turn it on and came back strong to poll 66 of his 71 points in the second half to win the award as the player who best combined sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct with a high standard of playing ability in the NHL.</p><p>While Keon gleefully pocketed $1,000 from the NHL for winning, Provost tailed off badly in the second half of the year and ended second, getting only 21 votes. Boston&rsquo;s Don McKenney, a former winner of the trophy, was third with 47 points.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0004-05274/1977368-1-eng-US/f0004-052.jpg" title="f0004-05" width="240" height="384"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Dove Keen</b></figcaption></div><p>Voting as usual was divided into two halves. A unanimous choice for each half would poll 90 points. Points were awarded on the basis of five points for a first choice, three for a second and one for a third. Hockey writers, broadcasters and telecasters from the six National Hockey League cities did the voting.</p><p>The 22-year-old Keon was the winner of the Calder Memorial Trophy as the top rookie in the League last year. His second season in the N.H.L. has been a most successful one. He played a key role in the Maple Leafs winning the Stanley Cup after finishing second in the regular 70-game schedule.</p><p>Keon was named to a berth on the Second All-Star Team. It has been a great season for him financially. Besides earning the $1,000 for winning the Lady Byng Merorial Trophy he also won $500 for being center on the Second All-Star Team and is eligible for another $4,250 for being a member of a team that finished second during the championship schedule and then went on to win the Stanley Cup.</p><h2><b>Keeping It In The Family</b></h2><p>This is the second year in a row that a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs has won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. It was won last year by Red Kelly of the Leafs.</p><p>Keon was born at Noranda, Que. on March 22, 1940. He is five-feet, nine inches tall and weighs 163 pounds. His last amateur club was the Toronto St. Michael&rsquo;s juniors. He is a cousin of Tod Sloan, former National Leaguer with Toronto and Chicago.</p><p>The stylish Keon reminds many N.H.L. observers of Henri Richard of Canadiens. He is a beautiful player to watch in action with his effortless and smooth-as-silk movements. He was the second highest point-getter on the Leafs this past season. He scored 26 goals and had 35 assists for 61 points.</p><p>Other players besides Keon, Provost and McKenney to receive points were Red Kelly, Toronto, 38; Camille Henry, New York, 26; Alex Delvecchio, Detroit, 23; Johnny Bower, Toronto, 11; Bill Hay, Chicago. 9; Andy Bathgate, New York. 8; Dean Prentice, New York, 6; Bobby Hull, Chicago, 5; Doug Harvey, New York, 5; Doug Mohns, Boston 3; Ken Wharrem, Chicago, 3; Jacques Plante, Canadiens, 3; Andy Hebenton.

Twice he was the leading point scorer of the league.</p><p>Kent Douglas of the champion Springfield Indians was voted the Eddie Shore Plaque, as the outstanding defenseman of the American Hockey League for 1961-1962.

<p>HULL, Que.&mdash;</p><p>The Hull-Ottawa Canadiens may be playing their hockey next season in new surroundings.</p><p>The Eastern Professional Hockey League champions&mdash;they won it for the second straight year as they beat Kingston in a hectic six-game final&mdash;may be making the Ottawa Auditorium their home ice for the 1962-63 season.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not quite sure what we are going to do next season,&rdquo; said Hull-Ottawa general-manager Sam Pollock when pressed for a decision.</p><p>&ldquo;We could be interested in the Auditorium for our home games but we will have to investigate every detail first before making a switch from the Hull Arena,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>Then Pollock quickly added, &ldquo;I would say the idea of playing in the Ottawa Auditorium sounds mighty interesting&hellip;but it&rsquo;s only an idea.&rdquo;</p><p>Nevertheless, rumors persist that the Canadiens will be moved across the river to the Ottawa rink for the bulk if not all of their games next season. There is also the possibility that they will play in both places dividing their home game schedule.</p><p>What of the rest of the EPHL teams?</p><p>There will undoubtedly be shifts in other EPHL cities too, North Bay is considered only a stopgap operation by many. Sault Ste. Marie has had difficulties and Kitchener may have seen the last of pro hockey.</p><p>London wants into the league and so does Windsor so there may be changes.</p><p>Meanwhile there probably will always be good relations between the towns of Kirkland Lake, Ont. and Hull, P.Q.</p><p>And the man who has cemented the friendship is a husky defenceman-turned-forward, Chuck Hamilton.</p><p>The Kirkland Lake native scored the overtime goal to give Hull-Ottawa Canadiens their second league title in succession at Kingston, April 29.</p><p>The goal ended the longest game in the three-year history of the league, and one of the most hectic of all playoff series.</p><p>Sammy Pollock&rsquo;s Habs won the Tom Foley Memorial Trophy with a 3-2 win in two overtime periods and took the series four games to two.</p><p>The battle was staged before a full and rowdy house at Kingston. Twenty policemen were on duty and many fans had to be ejected for fighting.</p><p>Scouts from most National Hockey League teams were on hand.</p><p>&ldquo;That was the best game I&rsquo;ve seen in a long time,&rdquo; said Toe Blake, coach of the NHL Canadiens, sponsors of Hull-Ottawa.</p><p>&ldquo;I felt sorry for Wren Blair,&rdquo; said Pollock, as he discussed Kingston&rsquo;s costly penalties in the period that eventually lost them the game.</p><p>Blair, manager-coach of the Frontenaes, was disappointed but felt his team played its best.</p><p>&ldquo;I never was so tired in my life,&rdquo; said Bob Armstrong, former Bostin Bruin who became playing coach of the Canadiens last season. &ldquo;They had us hanging on the ropes.&rdquo;</p><p>Armstrong was expected to return as the Habs&rsquo; coach for next season after a few minor details were ironed out between himself and the Canadiens.</p><p>The big, balding defenceman was one of the most popular figures to ever play in the EPHL last season.</p><p>If Pollock had any qualms about selecting a green coach like Armstrong for the job last fall after training camp, they were quickly dispersed at the end of the season.</p><p>Everyone agreed, he was the ideal choice for the position.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

In 1960 when the Smokies went over, their financial backing in the main came from local supporters.</p><p>Degiasio also said that a shorter tour is something else the Smokies will demand.</p><p>&ldquo;If we go we want to go just for the championships. The last time we were away too long,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>Meanwhile, this Western city was still bubbling over the Smoke Eaters Allan Cup victory. The battered old mug was making its first appearance in this province since 1956 when George Agar led his Vernon Canadians to the title.</p><p>For the Smokies success started in 1960. When midway through the season a comparatively unknown 30-year-old Trail mainstay, Bobby Kromm, who played on the wing, stepped up to the playing coach&rsquo;s job.</p><p>Quick with the tongue, and with plenty to say, Kromm is also a dedicated coach, who believes in getting things done the way they should be. He&rsquo;s stepped on a lot of toes, but it&rsquo;s paid off.</p><p>&ldquo;I want to build a club Trail will be proud of&rdquo; Kromm once said, and his promise became a reality.</p><p>That season a new broom swept clean. In the record book went the Western International league title; the British Columbia; the Western Canada, and a chance at the Allan Cup in their own back yard&hellip;but it wasn&rsquo;t to be, the Smokies game as they were, were unable to cope with the powerful Chatham Maroons, who kept the cup in the east.</p><p>The Smokies were far from discouraged. &ldquo;Well be back, said Kromm, better and stronger, you wait and see.&rdquo; He wasn&rsquo;t kidding either.</p><p>The Maroons turned thumbs down on the world championships, and the Smokies welcomed the opportunity the following season.</p><p>Abroad they went&mdash;destination Switzerland.</p><p>They saw; they conquered, and returned home as heroes with the World crown for the second time. They first won it in 1939, with a club rated as one of the all-time great senior amateur teams.</p><p>The past season saw the Smokies play a total of 64 games including playoffs and exhibition. They won 54 of them. In their own four team Western International League, statistics show 34 wins and 4 losses.</p><p>The Western Canada finals saw the Smokies extended to the limit. The Saskatoon Quakers, dealing a line-up of former professionals, and a sprinkle of rookies, gave Smokies the scare of their lives. As the series went to the seventh and final game in Saskatoon. With the chips down, the Smokies came through to win the big one.</p><p>Allan Cup fever hit the Kootenay Valley&hellip;The East-West senior amateur hockey title was again up for grabs, this time an unknown Eastern quantity from Montreal &lsquo;labelled the Cinderella team&rsquo; journey across the country to hit head on against the Smokies.</p><p>The Olympics, in their first year of senior competition, were a game lot. They possessed hustle, and consistant checking, but their offensive power was not good enough, had it not been for Andre Binette, their agile netminder, who kept them in the game, the scores would have been double. The series went to five games.</p><p>Kromm had nothing but praise for his players following the victory. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re great, they&rsquo;re great&rdquo; he kept repeating. &ldquo;We won the Allan Cup with a fine balanced club and the fellows deserve a lot of credit for what there is in it for them today.&rdquo;</p><h2>Foley Trophy Champions Hull-Ottawa Canadiens</h2><h2>Allan Cup Champions&hellip;&hellip;Trail Smoke Eaters</h2><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/c4-02131/1978583-1-eng-US/c4-022.jpg" title="C4-02" width="2722" height="1331"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>The Trail Smoke Eaters won Canada&rsquo;s senior hockey championship again this past season and for the Smokies it was the second time.
