Goins Offset Draft Losses For Busy Crozier
VANCOUVER, B.C.— Man, doesn’t that Joe Crozier ever rest? After all, the coach and general manager of the Vancouver Canucks won the Lester Patrick Cup championship last spring by sweeping past the Seattle Toft ms and the Portland Buckaroos in eight straight. He could have taken a couple of weeks off to relax. At last count, he had picked up nine new players while losing five from the Patrick Cup champions. Crozier, of course, couldn’t help some of this. His team was hit the hardest in the draft of any Western League club. Defenseman Darryl Sly, left winger Bob Barlow and right winger Nick Harbaruk (who actually played most of last season, for Tulsa) all were snapped up by National League clubs. Sly went to Minnesota, Barlow wound up with Minnesota after being drafted by Philadelphia…
New Ranger Era Dawns As Francis Cleans House Of Aging Ice Stars
NEW YORK, N.Y. — The recent exodus of big name players from New York is part of Emile “The Cat” Francis’ program of building up the New York sextet to Stanley Cup contention, not just participation in 1969-70. In order Francis swept 33-year-old Reg Fleming, 35-year-old Phil Goyette and 36-year-old Harry Howell from the Ranger nest. He got forwards Don Blackburn and Leon Rochefort for Fleming, a hard hitting forward who was very popular in Rangerville. The Cat then turned around and swapped Rochefort to Los Angeles for Real Lemieux, a 24 year old left winger. Lemieux, a five foot eleven inch, 170 pounder got 11 goals and 29 assists for the Kings in 1968-69. He is as tough as Fleming, once having led the Central Hockey League in penalties back in…

Canada Allowed Nine Minor Pros
MONTREAL, ue. — If you expected to see Bobby Hull or Stan Mikita or Bobby Orr or Dave Keon displaying their ice prowess against the Russians, Swedes or Czechs, forget it. It isn’t going to happen now or likely in the forseable future. That’s the way it appeared to Canadian delegates who went to the International Ice Hockey Federation meetings in Switzerland recently. The IIHF and its European president, Bunny Ahearne, stu world hockey tournaments, compromised by allowing competing countries — especially Canada — to play nine certified pros (below the NHL level of course and as many reinstated professionnals as necessary in the 1970 world tournament, which will be held in two Canadian cities — Winnipeg and Montreal. Campbell on hand Earl Dawson, president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, who went to the Swiss…
