Hamilton, Montreal Roll Up Ice Streaks
HAMILTON, Ont. — After a hesitant start in which they tied and lost their first two games with St. Catharines Black Hawks, Hamilton Red Wings went on a seven-game unbeaten streak which took them to within a point of first place in the Ontario Hockey Association junior A league. However the string was broken in Peterborough when the in-an-out Petes trimmed Hamilton 4-1. Mickey Redmond, one of the top prospects in the Montreal Canadiens’ amateur farm system sparked the Petes with two goals bringing his total to 10 goals in his club’s first 11 games. Montreal Canadiens, dead last after the first four weeks of the schedule, continued their climb, taking five of a possible six points. Paced by their fine young American-born forward Larry Pleau, the Canadiens trounced Peterborough 6-1 in Peterborough, tied Niagara…
Bruins’ Farmhands Hodgson, Lonsberry Certain To Lift Bisons’ Puck Hopes
BUFFALO, N.Y.— The addition of rookie forwards Ted Hodgson and Ross Lonsberry gave added punch to the Buffalo Bison’s slumping attack, and figured to shore up the Herd’s overall defense, as well. Hodgson and Lonsberry were sent to the Bisons by the Boston Bruins on 24-hour recall, and both made their presence felt immediately. Lonsberry collected his first goal as professional in a 7-4 win over the Springfield Indians here, and Hodgson had an assist. Both checked with authority, and Hodgson handed out a series of stiff body-checks. “These boys will help, and we are lucky to get players of their ability,” said Fred Hunt, the Bisons’ manager-coach. “The Bruins said they would help us and Hap Emms (Boston general-manager) certainly kept his word.” Hodgson and Lonsberry joined a third Boston farm hand, defenseman Norm…
‘Hard-Lucked’ Cullen Still Bouncing Back
PITTSBURGH, Pa.— Ray Cullen’s a hard man to keep down. Twice already this young season the spunky 25-year old centerman has been sidelined with injuries. But each time he has bounced back with a bang. Now in his fourth season as a pro, Ray is the I youngest of a hockey playing family. Brothers Brian and Barry both made the NHL. Brian saw service with Toronto and New York as well as putting in a preparatory season with the Hornets back in the 1954-55 campaign. Barry made it to the big leagues with Toronto, too. Ray has already hit the big time, although it was just for an eight game stint with the New York Rangers last season. He managed to get one goal and three assists. If his minor league record is any indicator,…
Brennemam Ticketed For Toronto Minor Club Skates Way To Regular Berth With NHL Team
TORONTO, Ont.— The Maple Leafs didn’t consider Johnny Brenneman a candidate for their first-string lineup when they drafted him from New York Rangers last season. Coach Punch Imlach’s idea was to assign him to a farm team, perhaps Rochester of the American League, and leave him there until the time comes for National League teams to provide personnel for the six new teams that are to commence operations next fall. Imlach has been getting ready for the day, making sure his hockey system won’t be stripped too badly when he is called upon to produce 20 bodies for the new partners. Brenneman, a standout minor leaguer who hadn’t been quite good enough to make it in the majors, was exactly the type he wanted. Secondly, Rangers had just taken Orland Kurtenbach off Leafs for…
