Key man in the Toledo defense, of course, was goalie Glenn Ramsay, who topped off…

Representatives of the AHL met recently in this city and amalgamation of the two circuits was one of the major topics of discussion. AHL publicity chief Jack Button said, “No positive action was taken during the one-day meeting of the league's board of governors, but we should have a definite answer shortly one way or the other in regard to plans for next season.” The two leagues had a partial interlocking schedule in 1965-66. NHL expansion will cut into both leagues. The AHL will lose Pittsburgh and the WHL will be minus…
