GOYER OLD AS NHL ROOKIES GO, BUT HE FILLS EXPANSION HOLE
CHICAGO, 111.- A midst all the confusion and uncertainty surrounding the Black Hawks’ first post-expansion training camp, Manager Tommy Ivan and Coach Billy Reay have come up with an almost sure-fire cure for those pre-season fantods. Whenever the Hawks’ two bosses feel the need for something to provide a measure of security they merely devote their attention to the practice efforts of Bobby and Dennis Hull, Stan Mikita, Pierre Pilote, Eric Nesterenko … and Jerry Goyer. That’s right, Jerry Goyer, the 31-year-old center who has been carrying a “too slow” tag around the Western Hockey league since he broke in with Portland in 1959. The big blond from Belleville, Ont. might have been destined to labor for the rest of his career in the minors if the National Hockey League hadn’t decided to double…
Ravlich Eyes Early Return After Leg In Cast 6 Months
SAULT STE. MARIE, ONT.— It was inside Black Hawk Stadium at 1800 West Madison Street, Chicago, the night of March 28, 1967. Billy Reay’s pennant-bound Black Hawks were hosting Sid Abel’s gang from Detroit in the third to last game of the regular season National Hockey League schedule. The Stanley Cup playoffs, and all that dough which goes along with it, were not far off. Matt Ravlich, a Chicago defenseman for three years, was looking forward to the playoffs. The 29-year-old Sault native had experienced a rather tough season, injuries and what not. The five-foot, 10-inch 180-pounder was just beginning to round into the form Reay and the thousands of Hawk supporters were familiar with … a robust, rushing Ravlich. The puck was flipped into the Black Hawk end of the rink and Ravlich…
Portland Secures Ex-Iron Man As Charron, Smith, McVie Go
PHOENIX, Ariz.- The Phoenix Roadrunners may be new to the Western Hockey League, but there’s a wise head in command in the person of Coach Alf Pike. And Pike, in a one-for-three trade with Portland, may have scored his first victory even before the opening drop of a puck. Sent to Portland was veteran winger Andy Hebenton, a 38-year-old gentleman well known in National Hockey League circles where he once set an all-time record by playing 630 consecutive games. In return, Phoenix obtained young goalie Rick Charron and a couple of forwards, Brian Smith and Tommy McVie. Portland was delighted to obtain Hebenton. It’s been no secret that the Buckaroos have wanted Andy back ever since he provided such tremendous spark and inspiration in Portland’s drive to the 1965 Lester Patrick Cup. Said Buck Coach Hal Laycoe,…
