Barons’ 15-Game Mark For Most Playoff Wins May Never Be Erased
CLEVELAND, Ohio Whether they win or lose in the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup championship playoff, the Cleveland Barons will be able to look back on 1965-66 as the year they set a record that stands a good chance never of being beaten. When they lost the opener of their final series to the Rochester Americans on Toronto ice, an end came to their consecutive victory streak of 15 games in playoff competition. The streak was achieved by winning nine straight in 1963-64 over Rochester, Hershey and Quebec, then by adding six more wins this spring over Pittsburgh and Springfield.

Hoekstra Scores Winning Goal As Barons Deadlock Cup Final
CLEVELAND, Ohio— The Cleveland Barons refused to roll over and play dead for the favorite Rochester Americans in the second game of the Calder Cup finals. With Dec Hoekstra banging in the winning goal with less than two minutes to play in the game, the Barons came back from a first-game defeat to edge the Americans 2-1 and knot their best-of-seven final series at 1-1. The teams play the third game also here before moving to Buffalo for the fourth game. Fights and skirmishes on the ice delayed the game for more than 30 minutes as tempers flared between the teams.
