Time Running Out On Chicago’s OHA ‘Farmhands’
ST. CATHARINES, Ont.— Despite a record of three wins in their last four games St. Catharines Black Hawks have failed to gain an inch in their late season bid for a playoff position in the Ontario Hockey Association junior “A” league and it appeared time was running out on the Chicago farmhands. While the Hawks picked up six points, the nearest teams above them also added to their totals. Their chances of catching the Hamilton Red Wings and Peterborough Petes were considered pretty slim. The Wings and Petes are now battling for third place and the Hawks were nearly a dozen points behind with only 10 games left to play. It’s still a fairly close fit at the top, Niagara Falls Flyers leading and opening up a wider gap over Montreal Canadiens, who are…
Bucyk Aiming To Achieve Cain’s Feat
BOSTON. Mass.— Looking at Johnny Bucyk of the Bruins smack in the middle of the National Hockey League scoring race makes Boston fans chuckle and cheer because most of them can’t remember the last time a Bruin won the league point title. To be exact the last Bruin to turn the trick was a shifty little centre by the name of Herbie Cain, who led the NHL in 1943-44 with a total of 82 points. Bucyk, the ‘Big Chief’ of the lowly Bruins, is making a determined bid to equal Cain’s feat this season. The setting is much the same for the modern day Boston star as it was when Cain won it. The Bruins were fifth in the six-team league in 1943-44 and out of the playoffs just as they are this…
Hull Seen Ready To Make Big Push With Siahts Set On Third Point Title
CHICAGO, III.— The spark has been ignited for Chicago’s Bobby Hull. Though the fuse was somewhat late this season the fire is burning brightly for the two-time National Hockey League scoring champion. The Black Hawk ace left winger, with only 12 goals in Chicago’s first 43 games, suddenly erupted for 10 goals in seven games between Jan. 19 and Feb. 3. Chicago won five and tied two during this stretch. This not only gives Hull 22 goals for the season but sets him up for another strong finish—his trademark since he came into the NHL six seasons ago. It also puts him in good position for a third NHL scoring title with 48 points on 22 goals and 26 assists as of Feb. 5 — only seven points behind leader John Bucyk of Boston. Hull…
MILT DUNNELL speaking on SPORT
(As Seen In The Toronto Star) Trouble Comes Looking For Ted Green Trouble is Ted Green’s blood brother. When Ted shuns trouble, it comes looking for him. Of course, it isn’t often that he shuns it. In case you have forgotten, Ted! is the husky, fresh-faced belter whom the Boston Bruins dug out of Winnipeg last season. He was as refreshing as a Cape Cod seabreeze in an otherwise drab Boston picture. Ted was Green by name and green by big league standards. As a new Bruin, he hit the headlines early by taking a roundhouse swing at Leafs’ Frank Mahovlich—in an exhibition game, of all things. He missed the Big ‘M’ but a goal post forgot to duck. Green’s hand was broken. This was recorded as the least excusable injury since Harry…
