Prentice Trade Seen Not Last For Blues
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The earthquake that rocked Rangerville with the trade of hometown favorite Dean Prentice to Boston may be only the first of several tremors to be caused by a major revamping of the Blueshirts. Red Sullivan, local vice president in charge of quakemaking, disclosed that other changes will be in store for the Rangers unless they develop a penchant for winning. “We haven’t finished,” said Sullivan when someone asked whether the Rangers planned moves along the lines of the Prentice transfer. “There’ll be more changes to come. Just because we win a game it doesn’t mean we’re through changing.” Questioned as to whose head might roll, Sully clammed up and merely observed that all positions are open for deals. However, certain clues have been obtainable about the Rangers’ future. Namely, Red would like…
Bisons Rate CushenanBest ‘Backliner’
BUFFALO, N.Y.— From Rochester and Hershey have come stirring essays making early pitches for Al Arbour and Marc Reaume as the American Hockey League’s top defensemen this season, but if the Buffalo Bisons’ Ian Cushenan doesn’t win the Eddie Shore Plaque, the Buffalo electorate will demand a recount. Two of THE HOCKEY NEWS’ knowledgeable correspondents, Hans Tanner and John Travers, have filed flattering pieces with this journal extolling the work of Arbour and Reaume. They are both enjoying fine seasons, but two major league scouts, neither connected with the Bisons or the parent Chicago Black Hawks, have pointed to Cushenan as the No. 1 blue liner. The 29-year-old Cush, in his second term here after earlier duty with Cleveland and Springfield, and with Montreal and Chicago in the NHL, is one of few players…
Windsor’s Allard On Scoring Spree, Boasts Record-Breaking 123 Points
NEW GLASGOW, N.S.— Once trailing the scoring race leadership by 17 points, import centre Jacques Allard of the Windsor Maple Leafs went on a wild, monthlong points spree to break a Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League record that lasted for only one season. Allard, who collected a fabulous 47 points in 18 games, lifted his season record to 123 points — one better than the record set last season by Amherst Ramblers’ Alain Caron, now a member of the St. Louis Braves of the Eastern Professional Hockey League. Allard, with 50 goals and 73 assists, pulled five points ahead of young Oscar Gaudet of the Moncton Beavers, who at mid-season appeared a shoo-in for loop scoring, honors. With still four games left on the schedule, Allard held an outside chance of passing the all-time…
Willingness, Ability To Fill Any Gup For Black Hawks Wins NHL Berth For Maki
CHICAGO, Ill.— The Chicago Black Hawks had finished their morning practice session 15 minutes earlier, Still on the ice with a yellow practice jersey over his Black Hawk uniform was a slim, low-skating player named Chico Maki. “I stay out for extra ice time whenever I can,” said the hard working rookie forward after he came downstairs to the Black Hawk dressing room in the lower regions of cavernous Chicago Stadium. “I’ve always taken as much extra ice time as I could no matter what league I was playing in. You can do things when you’re alone on the ice that you can’t try in practice.” One of the things Maki has been practicing this year is how to get the draw on faceoffs. For his entire hockey career starting in pee wee…
