Hodge Tabs Camille Henry As Most Accurate Shooter
MONTREAL, Que. According to Charlie Hodge, he has more trouble with Camille Henry of Rangers, than with any other sniper in the NHL. “Henry managed to get a fair share of goals off me in the first half of the schedule,” reflected Chairlie, recently. “In fact, I think he got about six. I sure hope he loses the habit in the second half.” Charlie, it goes without saying, is only too willing to help Camille overcome the irksome habit. Meanwhile, as far as the Montreal goalie is concerned, Henry gets his call as the most accurate shooter in the league.…
Aldo ‘Wired’ Keeps Squad In The Dark
BALTIMORE. Md.,— When Clipper coach Aldo Guidolin told his crew they were ‘’wired for sound,” no one took him literally. Rather than pursue the point, Guidolin decided to keep his secret to himself, as the team took to the ice against the Pittsburgh Hornets What Guidolin knew that none of the players or game officials knew was that every word spoken by him or to him was being recorded.

He rammed his hand into Toronto defenseman Bob Baun while following through on a shot on November 30 and it cost him one month. “The crazy thing is that you feel perfect but can’t do anything When they first put the cast 01 they had only the tips of two fingers showing. “I couldn’t tie my tie or shoe laces. Then they cut it down i couple of times so that I at least could…
Bears’ Duo Rates All-Star Look
The 1963-64 American League season is nearing the mid-point mark and two Hershey Bears’ skaters have projected themselves into the spotlight, meriting consideration for I all-star honors. Before the campaign draws to a close, there could be several other Hershey players in the running for an all-star team berth. However, at the moment, winger Pete Conacher and center Mike Nykoluk, certainly deserve attention with their sparkling early performance. The 28-year-old Nykoluk is perhaps the most underrated center in the nine-team circuit. With the exception of his first season with Hershey, he was utilized as a defensive pivotman and a penalty killer. This time around, coach Frank Mathers asked him to take over an offensive role. The popular team captain responded by becoming the circuit’s top playmaker by the 31 game mark with 28 assists.…
