Labossiere Spurts To Win Point Title
OTTAWA, Ont.— Gordon Labossiere of Sudbury Wolves, a 23 year old forward from St. Boniface, Manitoba, put together a great last week of the regular schedule and ended as the scoring champion of the EPHL for the 1962-63 season.

Lou Fontinato has been out of sight in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but not altogether out of mind. Montreal Canadiens could have used the robust rearguard who lies in a Montreal hospital, recovering from a broken neck. The question was put to Frank Selke Jr., the agreeable Montreal telecaster by Dick Beddoes, Toronto Globe and Mail sports columnist: “What’s the state of the paralysis in Fontinato’s arms?” “Paralysis isn’t the correct word,” Selke said. “He can move his hands and lower arms, but there is stiffness in his shoulders. Stiffness, not paralysis.” Fontinato has been confined flat on his back since colliding with Vic Hadfield of New York on March…
