Maki Wins Raves As Centre
CHICAGO. Illinois — “He’s a good, honest hockey player. He’s got more confidence this year,” says linemate Eric Nesterenko. “He’s been playing well all s e a s o n. Working bard. He probably was our best skater out there tonight,” says Coach Billy Reay. “I’ve always liked his guts and he knows what to do with the puck around the net. Remember, he’s playing out of his normal position,” says general manager Tommy Ivan. The man they are talking of is Chico Maki, center on Chicago Black Hawks’ third line, says: “I’m beginning to feel at heme as a center. I played right wing all my life until last year when I came up with Chicago. It takes a while to adjust but I like the position now. It gives you a chance…
Story Same In Old N.Y.,Plante Most Shot At Goalie
NEW YORK, N.Y. Camille Henry, Phil Goyette, Vic Hadfield, Jacques Plante, and Don Johns emerged most favorably from the mass of statistics compiled by the NHL for the first third of the schedule.

Similarly, Hadfield led in important points, also with a 100 per cent on his 12…

MONTREAL, Que.

They are particularly pleased with the role played by NHL President Clarence Campbell, in ruling on this dispute. Parent was the regular goalkeeper of the Rosemount Juniors last year and was signed by Niagara Falls Flyers of the OHA without getting his release from the Montreal club. The CAHA constitution is rigid and stipulates that a player must receive his release from a club he was playing with before signing with another club. Parent obtained permission to practice with the Flyers but the Rosemount owners demanded a $5,000 bonus for the young goalkeeper as a compensation to…
Bruins Eager For Win Streak Confident Of Hurdling Wings
BOSTON, Mass. “Dear Santa: “We’ve become accustomed to the hard life this season. We’re used to getting our hockey points the hard way. “And because we are. we don’t want much from you for Christmas. “As you know, we’ve been contending with the Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers for fourth place, and we think we can take them both before the season ends. “But a little gift from you in the form of a winning streak would certainly make our work easier. “We don’t want anything fancy We mean, it is all right with us. if the record for consecutive wins stays with those Bruins of 1929-30, at 14 games. “We’ll settle for a modest little streak of four or five games. It has been a long time since we’ve had one like that. It…
