Cross Leads U of Vermont To Ice Title
BURLINGTON— University of Vermont brought back the ECAC Division II college hockey championship when they weren’t supposed to this season. The title-winning Catamounts, coached expertly by Jim Cross, stole the division crown away from Bowdoin 41 in the championship game after assuming the underdog role. Vermont finished the 1969-70 season with a commendable 14-4 division record and a respectable 16-8 overall mark that included two decisions over Division I teams, notably New Hampshire, who were drubbed 6-3 by Cross’s Catamounts. Cross obviously had his UVM team up for the big game with Bowdoin, who went into the title game at Brunswick, Me., sporting a 13-0 division tab and 19-3 overall for the year. A 5-1 win over Middlebury sent the Catamounts into the final against Bowdoin, who disposed of little Merrimack 9-1. But Vermont…
Omaha Outraces Stars, Oilers To Wire In Grabbing Title
FORT WORTH— Jake Milford’s worth as a prophet and crystal ball gazer tripled in value on March 22 when his prediction of a first-place finish for his Omaha Knights came true. But even the wiley Milford could hardly have foreseen the strange events that were to take place in the final week in order for his prophecy to come true. The title that had been the bone of contention in a bitter and exciting four-team struggle for more than five months suddenly became a crown nobody wanted. At least that’s the way it appeared as all four clubs—Tulsa, Omaha, Iowa and Fort Worth—kicked away what seemed dead cinch chances of grabbing the brass ring. When the smoke had cleared, Omaha reigned as king of the hill, but almost as much by default as by design,…

N.Y. Leafs Win Fourth Metro Title
NEW YORK— Hockey championships and the New York Green Leafs seem to go hand in hand. The Leafs wrapped up their fourth successive New York Metropolitan Junior Hockey Association title when they defeated West New York Victorias in a three-game sweep of the finals. The first game saw Kenny Mullen register three goals as the Leafs, in command all the way, topped the Vics 5-1. Kevin Allen scored the only goal for the losers, as the Vics were otherwise stopped by goaltender Buddy Heaney. The second contest saw the Victorias putting up their best fight in the final series, playing close-checking hockey, but falling once again, 3-1. Charlie Horvath tied the score at one-all early in the second period, but Julio Acosta and Danny Condon put the game out of reach. The clincher was a…
