Finding Brewer Replacement Leafs’ Problem; Douglas Has Talent — But Not Attitude
—TORONTO, Ont. Failure to find a replacement for defenseman Carl Brewer was at the root of Maple, Leafs’ problems last season and that search was still their number one project as they got ready to open the 1966-67 National Hockey league season. Brewer’s unexpected retirement just over a year ago hurt Leafs in several different ways. Mainly, it deprived them of Brewer himself, an all-star rearguard with at least half a dozen peak seasons still ahead of him. Had they known he was going to quit, they’d have retained Pat Stapleton, instead of allowing him to be drafted from their roster. He became an all-star at Chicago. Finally, Brewer’s partner, Bobby Baun, was next to uselss without his sidekick. It appears that Jim McKenny, Brewer’s long-range replacement, isn’t ready to jump all the…
Hunt May Scuttle Two-Goalie Plan Says Hot Netminder Should Play
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Fred Hunt may do away with a good thing and shelve the Buffalo Bisons’ policy of alternating goalies on a regular basis. A year ago, under a formula adopted by Phil Watson, who has since moved on to the Quebec Aces, Ed Chadwick and Roy Edwards shared the goaltending duties. The 33-year-old Chadwick played in 34 games, compiling a 3.09 goals-against average while posting three shutouts. Edwards, 29, played in 40 games and finished with a 3.52 average and three shutouts. Neither played in enough games to be eligible for the all-star teams, and it was widely accepted the Bisons enjoyed the best back-stopping in the American Hockey League. The Herd finished a solid last in the Western Division, 16 points away from the last playoff spot, and only the superb work…

Gimpy Knees Make Carleton Question Mark For The NHL
TORONTO, Ont.— Wayne Carleton has everything he needs to become a super star in the National Hockey league — everything, that is, but a sound pair of knees. His background of knee operations and recurring problems and repeated injuries make him a gigantic question mark. If those legs hold together, it seems certain he’ll crack Leafs’ lineup this season, even though he’s still eligible for junior competition. Maple Leaf Gardens customers got proof of that recently when Carleton, replacing injured Frank Mahovlich on a line with Dave Keon and Jim Pappin, popped two goals in an exhibition game against Chicago Black Hawks. Carleton is a giant, who can skate swiftly and shoot with the power and accuracy of a Bobby Hull. His nickname, “Swoop,” accurately describes his move around a defender, one arm to…
