St. Petersburg Likely New Entry; EHL Pours Out Heart For Guilbault
NEW YORK— If the plans at the latest Eastern Hockey League meeting materalize, there will be new team next season in St. Petersburg, Fla, and also one in Cape Cod. Mass, the following year. The Cape Cod team will join the Northern Division to expand that side to seven teams, and St. Petersburg will join the southern division whose total is questionable these days to the shaky status of Nashville and Jacksonville. Cape Cod would operate in the Mid-Cape area at a site to be determined later. The general manager of the new team is slated to be Johnny Crawford, a former Boston Bruins star. The Hynanis Port, Mass, group won’t be ready until the 1972-73 campaign because it doesn’t have a building as yet. St. Petersburg, however, is ready. It has a building…

Huge Save-the-Spurs Movement Pays Dividend — On And Off fee
DENVER— The Denver Spurs most valuable player award this year could go to a woman. The financially troubled Spurs were on the brink of folding late last month. A Western Hockey League meeting was called in San Francisco at which Spurs’ president Bennett King planned to throw in the towel. Then the team’s secretary Billye Tellinger said she wouldn’t allow it. She resigned her job so she could go to work for the club for free. “I think this silly town needs this dumb team,” says Mrs. Tellinger, who can become extremely emotional when discussing her Spurs. Together with Dan Polsby, A Denver attorney who is the penalty timekeeper and the Spurs’ No 1 fan, she began soliciting donations.

⋆⋆STARS OF THE WEEK⋆⋆
In The East John Ferguson hadn’t exactly been setting the NHL on fire as a goal scorer — at least until this past week when he scored more times in three games than he had been able to compile in 33 previous outings. The ‘bad man’ left winger broke out in a real scoring rash in Montreal’s three NHL starts counting five times including one game winning goal and the ironic part of Fergy’s scoring prowess was the fact all his goals were counted away from home. With Montreal on an extended road trip — Vancouver, California and Los Angeles — Ferguson suddenly rediscovered his scoring touch. He popped two each against Vancouver and California and added another in the Los Angeles game. THE HOCKEY NEWS has selected Ferguson as the East Division player…
