Bush Hoping Hornets Get Few Breaks
PITTSBURGH, Pa. Four straight losses haven’t dimmed Coach Eddie Bush’s optimism for his 1965-66 Hornets. Bush’s smile isn’t as beaming or as wide as it was a week or so ago, but he’s not conceding a thing to anyone. “We just can’t seem to untrack ourselves,” said the Hornet mentor. Two straight losses on the West Coast to Vancouver (5-3) and Portland (7-2) shocked the Wasps who had visions of taking three out of four western swing. Now just San Francisco and Los Angeles remain and they are still looking for their first West Coast victory. The early season losing skein equals the longest tailspin the club went through last season. The 1964-65 squad had the dubious distinction of losing four in a row twice. “We have been making a lot of silly mistakes…
Voss Makes Final Ice Swing With New Referee-In-Chief
PITTSBURGH, Pa.— Ian (Scotty 1 Morrison, new referee-in-chief of the National Hockey League, and Carl Voss, his predecessor, made a tour of American Hockey League cities before Voss returned to his Florida home. Voss, who retired last summer after 15 years as the NHL’s supervisor of officials, spent a month with Morrison visiting NHL, AHL and CPHL cities, and helping Morrison get started. Morrison is making his headquarters in Toronto. Voss is living in Boca Raton, Fla., where he recently built a home. He says his home wasn’t harmed in the recent siege of Florida hurricanes, and is getting along well in his retirement. “Time doesn't hang heavy on my hands,” he said. “I find there is plenty to do around the house. My wife makes sure of that.”…
The Player Of The Week
There was a time when a rookie netminder coming into the NHL would hardly raise a ripple with ferns and players alike. Then along came a fellow named Roger Crozier lost season to give first-year players a new perspective. This season still another young find is making his presence felt in the big time. He’s Bernie Parent, 20-year-old custodian of the Boston nets who last season was a member of championship Canadian junior team. Parent carved his niche in the NHL this past week when he registered his first NHL shutout—a 2-0 whitewashing of the slumping Toronto Maple Leafs, Parent had been called up as an emergency replacement by the Bruins from their Oklohoma City team in the CPHL. After 6 games, he had allowed 18 goals and posted a 2-2-2 record…
Hannigan Helps-But Bisons Plight Still Grim
BUFFALO, N.Y. Pat Hannigan was back with the Buffalo Bisons after being drafted by Detroit last summer and training with the Red Wings, and the bleak look here brightened somewhat. Hannigan, the American Hockey League’s first-team all-star right winger a year ago, was taken by the Wings in the inter-league draft for $20,000. When they couldn’t get waivers in order to send him to Pittsburgh, the Wings were forced to return Hannigan to the Bisons for $15,000. It cost the Wings $5,000 to take a good look at Hannigan. Hannigan was the property of the Chicago Black Hawks, and thus the Hawks will pocket the $5,000, as well as retain rights to the player. Hannigan alone isn’t enough to make a respectable hockey club of the Bisons. However, he will add some bite to…
