Hull Eyeing Henry’s Penalty Scoring Mark
MONTREAL, Que. Bobby Hull, the dynamite in Chicago Black Hawks’ powerplay, is blasting his way to yet another record. Hull, with sights already set on records for most goals and most points in one National Hockey League season, needs eight more power-goals for the record in that department. As the league arrives at the midway point of the 1965-66 season, Hull leads in goals (32), points (55), and power-play goals (13). He is going at a record pace in all three departments. Little Camille Henry, former New York Ranger and Chicago Black Howk winger who now is with St. Louis in the Central Professional Hockey League after undergoing an operation on his back, holds the mark for most power-play goals in one season. The five-foot-ten, 152-pound Henry scored 20 power-play goals for Rangers…
Quebec City Interests Plan To Seek Franchise In Loop For Next Year
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. Although no official application has yet been made, there is a move underfoot in Quebec City to place a team next season in the Ontario Hockey Association Junior A League. The Quebec Citadels and Quebec Frontenacs at one time played interlocking games with Ontario junior clubs but in recent years only Montreal has been included in what has been described as the strongest teenage league in the country. The only deterrent to a possible Quebec City entry is the travelling factor. The eight teams in Ontario may not be too enthusiastic over the prospect of the extra 200 mile trip from Montreal to Quebec on their swing into the neighboring province. If Quebec officials do file an entre application, it is unlikely that a decision from the junior A council will be…
Fort William’s Rugged John Schella Has Look Of Big Leaguer
FORT WILLIAM, Ont. John Schella is a big, rugged 185 pounder, six feet tall, playing defense for the Thunder Bay Junior Hockey League’s Fort William Canadiens. He’ll admit though that he’s not the best skater among the league’s defensemen but he’s only 18 and improving. And that’s what really counts. The raw material — size and ruggedness — is there, the makings of a big leaguer. And what’s more he also has the ambition. The grade 12 student at Port Arthur’s Hillcrest High School is not, however, overlooking the educational possibilities that hockey may open up for him. “If I pass I think I can get a scholarship at the University of North Dakota, I’ve been approached already by an official of the university’s team,” he told THE HOCKEY NEWS recently. A native of Port Arthur,…
OHA Names 20-Man All-Star Team To Oppose Niagara In Ice Classic
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. Representing an awesome scoring total of 275 goals and a whopping 400 assists in little over half a season of play, 20 standout performers in the junior “A” OHA circuit have been selected to oppose the defending Memorial Cup champion Flyers in the league’s allstar classic to be played in this City on Wednesday, February 2nd. Manager Wren Blair of the Oshawa Generals and coach Scotty Bowman of the Montreal junior Canadiens, who will handle the respective chores for the all-star squad, made the final selections from a list of the six best players submitted by each team. The host Flyers, of course, were not included. All of the other eight clubs are represented on the select squad. Three players each were selected from Oshawa, Peterborough, Montreal and Hamilton while Toronto…
