Boston Rookie Dives For Puck
BOSTON, Mass, When Gary Dorn-h o e f e r scored his first National Hockey League goal in a game between the Bruins and Detroit Red Wings, he was moving across the front of the Detroit goal. Attempting to reverse direction to retrieve the puck as a souvenir, the long-legged Dorn-hoefer sprawled on the ice, then bounced to his feet and dove into the net behind little Roger Crozier for the puck. As the grinning rookie had Bruins’ teammates autograph the puck after the game he had others grinning, among them Lynn Patrick, Bruins’ manager with a long memory. “Gary had more trouble getting that puck out of the net than he had putting it in,” said Patrick. “He reminded me of Topper.” Jerry Toppazzini, a Bruins’ rookie in 1952, had a collection of first-goal…
Defenses Catch Up With Komets To Check Two Team Win Streaks
FORT WAYNE, Ind. Within the space of less than 24 hours Fort Wayne s league-leading Komets had two winning streaks broken. One was their over-all string of nine straight and the other was a record of 18 consecutive victories on home ice. The Komets hadn’t lost a game anywhere since Dec. 29 when they went into Muskegon on the night of Jan. 18. The Zephyrs halted them, 2-1, the same score by which they had turned back the Komets’ leading competition, Toledo, the night before. Then the Komets went home, seeking to capture their 19th in a row at the Coliseum. But this string was also broken off when Chatham’s revamped Maroons likewise held them to one goal and won, 4-1. The Komets, who had scored 33 goals in the previous four games, were…
NHL Opponents Still Agree Henry Slippery Performer
NEW YORK, N. Y, The man was there to interview Jean Beliveau about Jean Beliveau. But all Jean Beliveau would talk about was Camille Henry. “What a smart little hockey player he is,” said the Canadiens’ immortal.” The man wanted to do a story on Terry Sawchuk, so the all-time shut-out king says: “Life could be beautiful (more shutouts) without Camille Henrv around my net.” Ranger practice goaler, Arnee Nocks, doesn’t talk about Arnee Nocks during an Arnee Nocks interview. “Camille Henry is learning very well as I teach him new Yiddish expressions. He already can pronounce ‘Schlemeel’. Next week, he’ll know what it means.” Actually, he already does and will tell you it means somebody who is a fool, which also is a goaltender who goes for a Camille Henry deke. “That guy,” says Beliveau, “has a…
Fleming Cut Down, Mikita Speared As Black Hawk Fans Fly Into Rage
CHICAGO. III Chicago fans are up in arms over the latest “incident” involving their Black Hawks. Nobody pretends the Black Hawks are a gentle group of hockey players. They are a team of muscle … heavy and physically big and rough. Ever since the current season started they have topped the National Hockey League in penalty minutes as a team. Nobody is close to them. Nor are they “cheap” penalties. There are quite a few misconduct penalties which have added up 10 minutes at a crack. But nobody is piling up minutes for foolish mistakes. Two of the first three players to pass the 100-minute mark in penalties this year were Black Hawks - - leader Reg Fleming and All-Star center Stan Mikita. Defenseman Howie Young had 99 minutes as Chicago owned three of…
