Pilote Doesn’t Deserve Fans Abuse In Chicago Hockey News Editor: Congratulations to Dan Moulton who courageously laid the facts on the table regarding the ridiculous criticism of Pierre Pilote by Chicago’s Boo-boo birds. Bonafide experts have repeatedly placed Pierre on the all-star team which certainly proves the Chicago fans lack hockey sense. His record speaks for itself. If Pierre was offered to any of the other 11 NHL teams, I’m sure the response would silence the unwarranted boos in the Chicago Stadium. JOAN ANDRY, Harrisburg, Pa. Red Wings’ Movements Baffling To Ice Fan Hockey News Editor: I have been a devout Detroit Red Wing fan, even through the ’depression’ they are now undergoing, mainly due to a porous defense. However, I am baffled and disturbed at some of the actions of the Red Wings’ management this year. First,…

Coach Frank Mathers’ present crew showed 246 In 63 games, just 31 shy of eclipsing the club’s all-time standard with nine games remaining. Hardly anyone expected Mathers to Ice such a potent striking force at the season’s outset. The defending Eastern Division champion Bears lost a half-dozen skaters from last year’s outfit, ace snipers like Gene Ubriaco, Wayne Rivers, Gary Dornhoefer, a trio of wingers who tallied a total of 87 goals before departing to the National League. However, newcomers like rookie Don Marcotte hammered home 28…

DETROIT, Mich. — Big Frank Mahovlich has stepped up to occupy a place of honor in the National Hockey League’s select 300goal club. Membership in the club is to say the least exclusive.
