‘Restless’ DeJordy Finally Gets To Play In Goal
CHICAGO, III. - After watching Chicago’s first 12 games from the press box, a restless Dennis Dejordy finally saw action in the Black Hawk nets in the Nov. 9 game in Toronto, a 3-3 tie which extended the Hawks unbeaten streak to 11 straight. DeJordy, the American Hockey League’s most valuable player at Chicago’s Buffalo farm team last season, donned the pads after regular goalie Glenn Hall reported ill after the first period. It was diagnosed as stomach flu. DeJordy finished out the game with 17 saves, Hall having made 10 in the first period. Toronto scored two of its goals off Hall and one against DeJordy. DeJordy also was in the nets for the game the following night in Boston when the Bruins ended Chicago’s unbeaten streak with a 4-2 triumph. Hall returned…
Seike Predicts NHL Expansion By ’68
Sees ‘8-Team’ Major League In Five Years MONTREAL, Que.- Frank J. Selke, managingdirector of the Montreal Canadiens, believes National Hockey League expansion is less than five years away. Selke, who has long advocated the expanding of hockey’s sole major league, declared that he sees the day coming - possibly by 1968 - when the NHL will have eight teams. Visiting Cincinnati recently to launch the new Cincinnati Wings entry in the Central Professional Hockey League, Selke said, "the NHL will consider new teams when the right parties come along with the necessary money to finance a big league club." He added the operation would cost in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. Selke was adamant that the NHL should not expand by more than two teams. He singled out Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and St. Louis…
Gendron Given Call Again To Replace Bucyk
BOSTON, Mass.— For the second time in five years, exit Johnny Bucyk, enter Guy Gendron. Several years ago the Bruins had an outstanding scoring line composed of Bronco Horvath, Vic Stasiuk and Bucyk. It was known as the Uke Line, since Bucyk and Stasiuk were both of Ukranian ancestry. One night in a game with the Montreal Canadiens here, Bucyk was checked lightly by Maurice “Rocket” Richard. The big left wing lost his balance, fell and struck the boards, sustaining a severe injury to his right shoulder. For Bucyk’s replacement Milt Schmidt chose Gendron. One of little Guy’s first acts was to dub himself “the French Uke.” While Bucyk was recovering, Gendron did a good job of substituting and the Uke Line continued to score. Horvath is now with Rochester, Stasiuk with Pittsburgh, but when…
Flaman Seeking To Improve Reds Feeble Road Play
PROVIDENCE, R.I.— Ferny Flaman, coach of the Rhode Island Reds, has warned his Roosters that they must improve their I road efforts if I they wish to repeat last year’s championship effort in the American Hockey League’s Eastern Division. Through the first 15 games of’ the season the Reds wer impressive at home with a slate of 5 victories, one tie and only one defeat. However, on the road they managed only a win and two ties in their first eight games. Compare this early record with that of last year and the Reds stand favorably at home, but on the road they’ve been a disappointment to the Providence coach. Last year the club finished 2410-2 at home, and on the road it amassed the second best record in the American League — 14-9-3. “It…
