IHL Ponders All-Star Game Future; Chalmers Counts 350th Loop Goal
TOLEDO, O. — In the wake of the annual All-Star game, governors of the International Hockey League and other interested persons around the circuit were speculating about the game’s future — if any. The sixth in the series was staged in Dayton and while the attendance — 2,965 — was the second largest in history, following St. Paul’s 3,541 turnout the first year — there was the feeling that the mid-season “classic” Is still not an unqualified success. The host Dayton Gems won, 6-1, against an array of good individual but unorganized hockey players. For one thing they were far from the original selections, three of them — Mery Dubchak of Fort Wayne, Carl Brewer of Muskegon and Stan Maxwell of Toledo—were Incapacitated and had to be replaced on short notice to the…

This is precisely the same idea that I have been advocating for years. In a first class league like…
Big Home Ice Edge For Habs In January
MONTREAL, Que.— The so-called advantage of home ice will be working for the Montreal Canadiens in the first month of 1968. They play seven of 11 slated contests in the Montreal Forum, commencing with a home date against Toronto on January 3rd. Of their four away-games, three are within the space of a week, from the 7th to 11th inclusive. The other is at Boston on the 25th. Actually, home ice hasn’t proved too much of an advantage for Canadiens so far, this season. Of 13 games in the Forum, to date, they’ve won five, lost three and tied five. That’s 15 out of a possible 26 points. Their road record is much worse, however. In their first 17 games away this season, Habs won five, lost ten and tied two for 10 points…
