Five New Red Wings Make Bow
DETROIT, Mich. - Five rookies were on the 18-man, roster that opened the 1967-68 hockey season for the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings, starting the campaign in Boston, went with a lineup that includes defensemen Jim Watson and Bart Crashley; left winger Gary Jarrett; right winger Doug Roberts; and reserve goaltender George Gardner. The five rookies all played in the Detroit organization last season and four of them-all but Watson—saw limited service with the Wings. Roberts, 24, a Detroiter who was rookie-of-the-year in the Central League two seasons ago, played 13 games with Detroit at the tailend of 1966-67 and scored three goals. He is being carried as the Wings’ spare forward and probably will see service on all three lines. Jarrett, 25, has earned the left wing spot on the Wings’ top line…
Flyers’ ‘Brass’ Confident For Expansion Start
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. — The National Hockey League has returned to Philadelphia after an absence of 36 years and it’s still anybody’s guess as to how it will go over. The Flyers, one of six new expansion clubs, entertain the Pittsburgh Penguins in the ultra-modern Spectrum in their league home opener Thursday night, Oct. 19. By this time, the Flyers will have had three regular season games under their belt before showing the hometown folks exactly what they’ve got to offer on the ice. “We have the utmost confidence that major league hockey will go over big in Philadelphia,” said Ed Snider, chairman of the board and principal stockholder. “If we weren’t absolutely certain of that, we surely wouldn’t have sought a franchise. “Philadelphia is a great sports city,” continued Snider. “The fans will support…
Rookie Sur arises Hawks-Grabs Berth
CHICAGO, Ill. - Young Doug Shelton seems to have won himself a job with the Black Hawks while most observers were looking the other way. When the Hawks opened their camp in the Stadium last month, the 5-9, 170 pound right wing from Woodstock, Ont. was just another face in the crowd of rookies who were striving for spots on the expansion-depleted roster. Nothing about the 22-year-old graduate of the Central League’s St. Louis Braves indicated he was ready to step into the NHL, even under the conditions imposed by the expansion talent squeeze. He’d scored only 11 goals with the Braves in 1966 and his skating, at least during the early workouts, was far from impressive. Most of the attention, therefore, was paid to Paul Terbenche, Roger Bellerive, Wayne Smith, Tom Reid, Wayne…
