Glover Displays Coaching Skill With Barons Bulk Of ‘Castoffs’
CLEVELAND, OHIO — Whether he does it with black magic, pep pills, voodoo or monkey glands, Coach Fred Glover of the Cleveland Barons seems to have the knack of turning a collection of has-beens and cast-offs into an effective, battling, winning hockey club. He did it last season. He is doing it again this year. On paper, the Barons certainly do not stack up with the Pittsburgh Hornets, Providence Reds, Rochester Americans or perhaps several other American Hockey League teams. On the ice, it is a different tory. The Barons, just as they did in the latter part of the 1962-63 season, get the winning habit once they step out on tne ice sunace.. They certainly must rank as the early-season surprise club of the AHL.. .. A glance over the Cleveland roster makes one wonder how…
Player of the week
Bobby Hull… …Chicago Black Hawks Bobby Hull, the great left winger of the Chicago Black Hawks, is off to a rousing start in the 1963-64 season and it appears the blond bullet will attain all the goals set out by him and his coach, Billy Reay, at his current pace. Hull recently collected his 400th NHL scoring point and has set his sights on becoming the next 200-goal scorer in the league. Hull last week tallied five times: — three in one game for a’hat trick’ as: the Hawks walloped Toronto 6-0 — to raise his season total to 12 goals and a career high of 194. Hull, five points behind Jean Beliveau of Canadiens last: week 23-18, this week came on with a real rush to pick i up eight while Beliveau was…
Cournoyer Seen Best Sniper Since Cullen
ST. CATHARINES, Ont.— The Ontario Hockey Association junior “A” schedule is little more than a month old but already threatening gestures are being made in the direction of a long standing goal-scoring record. Yvan Cournoyer, fleet-footed 19-year-old Montreal Canadiens right winger vaulted into a solid lead atop the scoring tables with 18 goals, nine assists for 27 points in just 10 games. At his present rate Cournoyer could score more than 90 goals which would eclipse the old mark of 68 goals scored by Brian Cullen while playing a 59-game schedule with St. Catharines Teepees during the 1953-54 season. Cullen also added 93 assists that year while partnering his brother, Barry, and Hugh Barlow for a record total of 161 points. Chasing Cournoyer for the scoring lead is St. Catharines Black Hawk Captain Fred…
Berenson Makes Blake Experiment Pay Off; Habs Stunned By Growing Injury Outbreak
MONTREAL, Que.— When Toe Blake said that there’d he openings on Canadiens, at the start of the current hockey season, his words were greeted with a certain reserve by the men of the public prints. It has become customary, after all, for coaches to author those kind of statements in pre-season interviews. It stimulates public interest, for one thing. It serves as a gentle warning to club veterans who have complacent attitudes, for another. And, to the rookies and the fringe element who are never quite certain whether they’ll make the team, or not, it sometimes increases their determination to succeed. This year, it seems to have increased the determination of Red Berenson. The rugged redhead has been seen almost exclusively in the role of penalty-killer, this season, and as such his ice time…
