Double Career Ordeal For Red Says Mrs. Kelly
TORONTO. Ont. — To understand what Red Kelly went through last winter, as both hockey player and politician, you have to talk to his wife, Andra, herself a former athlete.’She was a champion speed skater and figure skater and an Ice Follies star for years and now coaches one of Canada’s top skating pairs, Alexis and Chris Shields of Toronto. She says: “After a long while, I discovered that Red wasn’t eating anything. There just wasn’t time. So I used to make lunches for him to eat on the fly. But it wasn’t the same. You ask whether the schedule he was following hurt his hockey and I tell you it had to. I really don’t know how he did it.” Neither did Imlach, and he was hoping Kelly wouldn’t try it any…
Hornets’ Gardner Rated Top Rookie Award Hope
PITTSBURGH. Pa. One down and one to go. That’s what the count is for Pittsburgh Hornet goalie George Gardner. He has tied one shutout mark and is closing in on another one. His 7-0 blanking of the high-scoring Rochester Americans was the 23-year old Gardner’s seventh shutout of the season. This ties him for the team mark in that department. Alfie Moore in 193738 and Baz Bastien, the present Hornet General Manager, in 1946-47 are the co-holders of the record. The league standard of nine shutouts in one campaign is held by Gordie Bell. Bell turned the trick in the 1942-43 season while playing with Buffalo. Gardner took a giant step toward the AHL Rookie of the Year award when he whitewashed Rochester. It marked the first time all season, a stretch of 46 games,…
Red Kelly Takes New Lease On Hockey Career After Dropping Politics To Stick With Leafs
TORONTO, Ont. — For Leafs’ Red Kelly, hockey life is beginning again at 38. just when it should be drawing to a close. Kelly’s 1964-65 season was reasonably successful but in it, both he and Leaf management thought they could detect alarming signs of decay, as if a distinguished National League career finally was ending. How, then, do you explain Kelly’s present form which finds him among Leafs’ top performers for 1965-66 and, to tell the truth, among the NHL’s best left-wingers? “It’s simple,” says coach Punch Imlach. “Kelly’s doing nothing this year but play hockey. That was all he needed. It’s made a tremendous difference.” Last winter, you’ll recall, Kelly was the Member of Parliament for York West, a Toronto constituency, as well as a Leaf left-winger. His parliamentary duties required a great deal…
