Howe Wins Player Of Year Award For Fifth Time

This season, Howe won the NHL scoring title for the sixth time in his illustrious big league career and he gave the impression that he was more like 25 than…
Blues Hire Sully Again For Season
NEW YORK, N.Y.—George “Red” Sullivan, the fourth Ranger coach in the last four years, has been rehired by the New York hockey club to try and ressurect the team for the 1963-64 season.

Salary terms were not disclosed. “I’m looking forward to starting the training camp fresh with the Rangers,” said the energetic coach who was promoted from Baltimore last Dec. 29th. “I learned a lot in the half season. Starting from scratch I should be a better coach.

Norm Ullman…… Detroit Red Wings
Playing in the shadow of Detroit stars like Terry Sawchuk, Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio and others hasn’t deterred Normie Ullman’s desire to take the Initiative for the Red Wings when he gets the chance. The 27-year-old centre of the Wings showed this past week that he can prove just as valuable to the team as Howe and the rest by figuring in five goals as the Wings ousted the Chicago Black Hawks In their best-of-seven Stanley Cup semi-final series. Ullman shot two goals and assisted on three others as the Wings whomped the Hawks 7-4 in the deciding sixth game of their series with Chicago. Ullman’s outburst pushed him to the front of the Stanley Cup playoff scoring race with 12 points in six games—four goals and eight assists. The curly-haired Detroit pivot,…
