DeFelice Sizzles With Four Shutouts, Clinton Picks Up Ex-Pro Orval Tessier
CLINTON. N.Y. No goalie in the Eastern Hockey League history ever has jumped off to the spectacular getaway that Norm De-Felice, the veteran net-minder of the Clinton Comets, has achieved this season. DeFelice created quite a stir around the EHL as he posted shutouts in his first four outings, and only allowed one goal by New Haven in his fifth start to give him an amazing 0.2 average goals allowed mark after two weeks of play. The Clinton goalie guardian hasn’t achieved his great record against any patsies either. For he opened with a 3-0 whitewash of Nashville, came back the very next night for a 2-0 win over Jacksonville. Then came a 7-0 triumph over Johnstown, regular season kings a year-ago, and No. 4 was a 2-0 blanking over the same Jets…
Western Ad Lib
LOS ANGELES, Calif.— Guyle Abner Fielder never was big—he’s 5-9 and weighs 165—and he’s getting old—he’s 34 now—but he still does a young man’s job in a big way. Others score more goals, but when you play with Guyle, you score goals, and when Guyle is on the ice, his team scores goals. It’s time he was slowing down or losing interest, but he, as much as anyone else, was responsible for the surprisingly fast start of the Seattle Totems in the shiny-new Western Hockey League race. He scored two goals and set up 10 others as Seattle captured five of its first seven outings to lead Los Angeles and Portland in the early going. Guyle has been called “The Minor League Gordie Howe,” which he is. In fact, aside from scoring…
Comets’ Goalie Sets New Mark
CLINTON, N.Y.— Norm DeFelice, of the Clinton Comets established a new shutout record for any goalie who performed in any league under the jurisdiction of the AHA. He completed 265 minutes and 57 seconds of scoreless hockey before allowing a goal by New Haven rookie Jerry Maney at 5 minutes and 57 seconds of the second period in a contest at Clinton. This total of 265:57 tops the old record of three shutouts set by Burt Gardiner in the 1934-35 season with the Crescent A.C. The National Hockey League record covers 6 consecutive shutouts and lasted for 446 minutes and 9 seconds in the 1927-28 campaign. Alex Connell of the Ottawa Senators achieved this feat However, in that period hockey rules did not permit any forward passing in the attacking zone, making it…
National League Referees Calling ’Em Closer
(As Seen In The Boston Sunday Advertiser) BOSTON, Mass. Hockey players—and coaches—earn their money the hard way. The players are prey to errant sticks, elbows, knees and the other not-so-niceties of a swift and violent professional sport. Rare, indeed, is the NHLer without cruel facial scars and still in possession of his own front teeth. Coaches? They are in constant inner ferment. The demands on their nervous system, patience and self-control are possibly greater than in any pro sport. Thus it came as no great surprise when Milton Conrad Schmidt, coach of the Bruins, finally unloaded on this sea-son’s officiating. Milt really went into orbit. What was surprising, however, was that he risked a $500 league fine to release his pent-up emotions. As mentioned, money comes hard in the NHL, and five big…
