ESPOSITO TAKES OVER AS BRUINS’ KEY MAN
Bruin Center Scintillates After Injury Ousts Orr BOSTON, Mass. — Every time there is discussion of the key man of the Bruins the name of Bobby Orr is in the f o r e f r ont. There has been at least one other key to the Bruins this season, however. That would be Phil Esposito the acquisition from the Chicago Black Hawks who passed his 2 6th birthday on Feb. 20. When Esposito was traded to the Bruins along with Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield for Pit Martin Gilles Marotte and goalie Jack Norris it was hoped the 6’1", 198 pounder would help rectify a glaring weakness at center. Esposito has fulfilled that hope quite adequately and has developed into a team leader on the ice. Long ago, Esposito squelched the theory that he was…
Mathers Says Bears’ Road Play Key To Team’s Hopes For Title
HERSHEY, Pa. - As the Hershey Bears swing into the final month of play in the 1967-68 American League season, coach Frank Mathers is of an opinion the club’s play on the road will be a key factor in its chase for the Eastern Division flag. “We’ll have to become more consistent on the road,” he said. “The club’s lost a number of close road games and I’m hoping the breaks start to go our way for a change.” In Hershey’s first 27 road games, the club showed an 8-15-4 mark as of Feb. 23. Six of the 15 setbacks were by a single goal. The Bears play 15 games in March, the season’s final month, and eight are on foreign ice. Mathers figures if his outfit can come away with four wins,…
Kitchener Ace Walt Tkaczuk Lauded By Marlies’ Bodnar
KITCHENER, Ont. - Until the third week of February, five teams were in contention for * the Ontario Hockey Association junior A pennant. However with only the tagend of the schedule remaining the battle for first place is strictly a two-team affair between Kitchener Rangers and Montreal Canadiens. Both teams had unblemished records last week. The Canadiens, after a hesitant start, continued their winning hockey with two victories over Oshawa (8-5 and 7-2) and one over Ottawa, by a surprisingly close 5-4 score. The Rangers only played twice but were winner s on both occasions, 7-6 over Niagara Falls and 5-2 over Toronto Marlboros. The losses by the Flyers and Marlboros virtually ended their first place hopes. The Kitchener team is generally recognized as having the greatest bench strength in the league and this apparently stretches even…
