Fashoway Expects Buckaroos To Be Threat For WHL Title
PORTLAND— The Portland Buckaroos—most successful team in pro hockey with 404 victories in the last 10 years—will start their second decade of action confident they’ll be a top threat for the Western Hockey League title this season. Coach Gordon Fashoway believes his club is in good shape to shoot for an eighth championship in 11 seasons. “We need a right winger who can put the puck in the net and play with a center with the ability of Art Jones,” he said. And help is expected. “And we may need a defenseman,” Fashoway added, “to replace John Barber until he is ready to play.” Barber, a strong young blueliner who played last year for titlewinning clubs at both Buffalo and Omaha, is recovering from a back operation. “Otherwise, the club is in pretty good shape,” said…
Edwards, Rutherford Form Wings’ New Net Team
DETROIT— In the pecking order adhered to by most National Hockey League teams, the sweater with the “1” on it is reserved for the club’s No. 1 goalkeeper. The No. 2 man usually wears the number 30. But in Detroit 30 is No. 1 and 1 is No. 2 And both are happy about it. Coach Ned Harkness asked Roy Edwards if he’d like to switch to 1, the number worn by Roger Crozier before he was traded to Buffalo in June for Tom Webster.

Rutherford, a second-year pro, won and, surprise, the new owner of…
Bad John Brophy Returns To Ducks; Omaha Sends New Haven Stars Back
COMMACK— If the rest of Ed Stankiewiczes goals are attained as easily as his first objective, the Long Island Ducks will be a team to watch in Eastern Hockey League play this season. Stankiewicz, the new general manager-coach of the Ducks, looked over a 21-man roster and commented, “the biggest item we lack is a guy on defense to act as our ‘police-men’. That’s what our defense needs. He hadn’t uttered these words 24 hours when his wishes came true for the Ducks made a deal with New Haven that brought back John Brophy, a ‘policeman’ if there ever was one, to Long Island. Stankiewicz acquired Brophy in a straight player transaction which sent center Dwight Winters to the Blades. Brophy has played with the Ducks on several occasions in the past and always…
