Marshall Now AHL’s Second Highest Scorer With 359th
PROVIDENCE, R.I.— Willie Marshall, one of the American Hockey League’s greatest players, already has made his mark with the Rhode Island Reds. The 32-year old center, acquired in a trade this fall with Hershey, has played only seven games in a Providence uniform at this writing, but has reached another career milestone in his first weeks with the Reds. In his short term-with The Reds, Marshall has fired three goals, enabling him to take command of second spot on the list of all time AHL goal-scorers. The veteran forward entered the season with a life-time total of 356 goals, only one behind Harry Pidhirny, who held runner-up spot to Cleveland’s Fred Glover. Marshall’s three tallies raised his career total to 359. Marshall, a feared opponent of the Reds while wearing the spangles of Pittsburgh, Rochester…
Fielder Leads Seattle Assault On Individual WHL Point Race
VANCOUVER, B.C.— The scoring prowess of Phil Maloney, crafty Vancouver centerman, is the sole reason that three Seattle players, all members of Coach Keith Alien’s number one line, do not hold down the top three scoring positions in the league scoring statistics. Centerman Guyle Fielder, off to his fastest start in the past several years, has assisted on 12 of Seattle’s 19 goals to lead the league in scoring. The Totems have won three games and Fielder, naturally, has three game-winning assists. Following Fielder is Maloney, who has 11 points on 2 goals and 9 assists in 4 games. Tied for the number three scoring position are the right and left wingers that play on either side of Fielder. Bob Barlow, who led the league in goals last season with 47 and who…
Wings Hope MacGregor Answer To More Team Scoring Punch, ‘Redhead’ Stresses Offense’
DETROIT, Mich.— This may be the year that Bruce MacGregor, the 22-year-old redhead of the Red Wings, blossoms into a National Hockey League star. MacGregor, you’ll remember, was paid the highest price ever dealt by the Red Wings to a junior for turning professional. The Wings had to go big for their Edmonton Oil King star—he was leaning toward a college scholarship at Denver. MacGregor scored 20 goals in 54 games for the Western League Edmonton Flyers in 1960-61 before being called up by the Wings and although promising in those final 12 games and then two full seasons with Detroit, he scored only 17 goals. But this fall, there seems to be a new MacGregor. “I think I’m more offensive-minded this year,” MacGregor said. “I’m not killing so many penalties now. “I was getting so that…
Imlach’s Driving Tactics Pay Off, Leafs Most Successful NHL Team
Sheer Hard Work Punch’s Formula TORONTO, Ont.— If Punch Imlach, coach and general manager of the Maple Leafs, has one over-riding theory of hockey, it would he that sheer hard work is the key to success. No team toils more diligently, more often and for longer periods of time than the Leafs. The principle must be sound because under Imlach Leafs have never missed the Stanley Cup playoffs, have been second three times, have won the National Hockey League championship once and the Cup itself twice. Leafs work out every day when there isn’t a game scheduled. Even if they’re tired and in need of a solid rest, Imlach figures a session at Maple Leaf Gardens will keep them thinking about hockey, even if they take things easy. They don’t even observe statutory holidays. Consider Leafs’…
