Buffalo Scoring Whiz Art Stratton Awarded AHL’s Highest Prize As MVP
ROCHESTER, N.Y.— Art Stratton, who led the American League in scoring with 109 points and was a near unanimous choice for the allstar team, was selected as the AHL’s most valuable player and will receive the Les Cunningham Plaque along with a league bonus of $300. In the voting by the league’s writers and broadcasters, Stratton gained 29 of the possible 45 points. Rochester’s Al Arbour, the AHL’s outstanding defenseman, was second with 14 points. Now included among the AHL’s 25 all-time point scorers and 12 top assist makers, Stratton totaled 84 assists among his 109 points for Buffalo in 6465 as he captured his first AHL scoring crown. Success seems to follow the 29-year-old center wherever he goes. The past three seasons in the American League have seen him total 219 assists and…

More than 900 persons jammed their way into St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church to pay final tribute to the 28-year-old former National Hockey League star who died of cancer. Friends, relatives and hockey people who had come in contact with this vibrant hockey performer came to say goodbye and as had been the case many times in his NHL career, the crowd overflowed the church. Death seemed strangely out of place in the solemn assemblage with young strong men like Bobby Hull, Billy Hay and Bob Turner slowly pacing the casket as it was taken into the church. Hull, Hay and Turner had played with Balfour during his career and…


New York, Long Island Ponder New EHL Sites
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The status of the Eastern Hockey League is still up in the air as far as two clubs are concerned but president Tom Lockhart hopes all issues will be resolved at the league’s July meeting in Pittsburgh. Nine clubs are set for next season, but Long Island and New York are still trying to figure what to do for next season. New York’s situation became public knowledge when a New York paper reported that the parent New York Rangers wouldn’t operate the team next year. But that is not the true situation for the Rovers say no final decision has been reached on the operation of the club, according to William Jennings, Rangers’ president. New York’s problem is that the Rovers are unable to get ice for 36 home games,…
