Oshawa Lacking Little Extra Punch Says Guidolin Of Slumping Generals
OSHAWA, Ont. The continued slump by one-time leading Oshawa Generals and the improved play of the three clubs at the bottom of the group have tightened up the standings in the Ontario Hockey Association junior A league. The Generals, who held a six-point margin over their closest rivals just four weeks ago, have been unable to get untracked lately. In their last seven games they have only salvaged a single point … a 1-1 draw with the new London National entry in London. Of those six losses, four have been by one goal, the other two by a pair. “I’m convinced the team is trying,” said Coach Bep Guidolin after their defeat to St. Catharines by the basketball-like score of 19-8. “However, what we seem to lack is that little extra punch when it’s needed most.…

OHA Rejects Quebec’s Bid To Guin Junior Ice Entry
TORONTO, Ont. The Quebec Aces’ bid to gain a franchise in the super Ontario Hockey Association ‘A’ Series has been turned down. Wren Blair, general manager of Oshawa Generals, noted the nine teams in the league are affiliated with teams in the National Hockey League. “If the NHL expands to 12 teams, then we should expand to 12 with two sections. We’ve got enough players to go around in our own league but we shouldn’t consider Quebec City,” Blair said. The Aces, who play in the American Hockey League, will be advised that the league is not interested but might consider an application next year. Jim Gregory, representing Marlboros, major amateur farm team of the Toronto Maple Leafs, said his club was not interested in giving a franchise to Quebec City. “We’re flattered that the Aces…
