With 11 games to play, the 20-year-old Perreault was considered certain to break the record this season.</p><p>In addition, Perreault was expected to break the first-year total points record of 65, held by Grant. As this was written. Perreault had 61 points on 34 goals and 27 assists.</p><p>Perreault came within a whisper of breaking the record against the Canucks. With the Sabres a man short, and less than two minutes remaining, Perreault stole the puck from Mike Corrigan at the Canucks&rsquo; blueline and cruised in alone. Goaltender Dune Wilson made a great play when he came out to cut off the angle and blocked a blistering 10-footer.</p><p>The handsome Perreault, a graduate of Montreal Junior Canadiens and the No. 1 pick in the amateur draft last June, scored his first six goals on the road, and has 16 at home and 18 away. Four of the Sabres&rsquo; remaining 11 games were scheduled to be played in Buffalo.</p><p>Only three teams Toronto. (Chicago and St. Louis &mdash; held the brilliant speedster goal-less. At this writing, the Sabres had two games left with St. Louis and none with the others.</p><p>Here is a complete chart of Perrault&rsquo;s scoring to date:</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-0866/3205325-1-eng-US/f0002-082.jpg" title="f0002-08" width="331" height="324"></div><p>Perreault, who has insisted from the start of the season that he doesn&rsquo;t think about records, admitted he has now set his sights on 40 goals.</p><p>&ldquo;The skating and the checking is much better here, and the players have so much experience. My teamates have helped me a great deal, and so has Punch (Imlach. the Sabres&rsquo; general manager and coach).</p><p>&ldquo;The fans here are really great, and that helps.&rdquo;</p><p>The Sabres are currently the hottest ticket in Buffalo, which also has the Bills in the National Football league and the Braves in the National Basketball League.</p><p>The Sabres are expected to play before 23 sellouts in 39 home dates in their first season. The season-ticket sale, at 6,000, may go to 10,000 when 5,000 seats are added during the off-season.</p><p>Perreault needs police protection to get out of Memorial Auditorium now as thousands of fans linger to await his leave-taking.</p><p>He is well on his way toward becoming the most popular athlete in the city&rsquo;s history.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<p>MONTREAL &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>T</span>he Boston Bruins&rsquo; power-play has contributed significantly to the team&rsquo;s unprecendented ownership of three players with more than 100 points each in the National Hockey League scoring list.</p><p>Among the top five players, the only one who would be anywhere near his present total if power-plav points were discounted is Bruins&rsquo; Ken Hodge, who is fourth with 96 points. No player would be at the 100-point level vet. Phil Esposito, the current leader with a record 130 points, including a record 61 goals, has gained 39 of his points while the opposition has been shortlanded. Seventeen of his goals were off the power-play.</p><p>Defenseman Bobby Orr, who four weeks ago today was 18 points behind Esposito, had closed the gap to a slim three points. Orr, with 127 points, including a record 92 assists, has 41 power-play points, 36 of them assists.</p><p>The leading power-play pointman is Johnny Bucyk of the Bruins, who has 101 points, including 48 goals. His 22 power-plav goals tied the record set by Chicago&rsquo;s Bobby Hull in 1965-66 and he has an additional 20 assists off the power-plav for 42 points while Bruins held the advantage.</p><p>Fourth-place Hodge has 96 points but only 10 of those were off the power-play. Four of his 40 goals were scored with an opponent in the penalty box.</p><p>Of the leading 11 players&rsquo; point total of 955, 265 were accumulated from power-play scoring, or 27.7 per cent. Of the 378 goals by the 11 players. 92 were power-play efforts.</p><p>The Bruins continued their onslaught against the NHL Guide&rsquo;s record section last week and their count now is 24 records broken, two tied and another 10 which they have a good chance to break. There has been a total 27 records set by all teams so far and another six tied. Thirteen, 11 of which are by Gordie Hower of Detroit, have been extended and there are 16 records within grasp.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Just under a year ago, one of the awards, barring injury, had already been decided. I refer to the Calder Trophy and Gilbert Perreault.</p><p>Perreault, last year&rsquo;s No. 1 amateur, received great publicity and was more-or-less selected as this year&rsquo;s Calder winner by many before the season began. However, I think there are other rookies in the NHL who did not have the benefit of Perreault&rsquo;s buildup yet are equally deserving.</p><p>Granted, Perreault is a great young player, no one can deny that but two other rookies, Minnesota&rsquo;s Jude Drouin and New York&rsquo;s Gilles Villemure should also be highly considered.</p><p>Villemure has taken a great load off Ed Giacomin&rsquo;s shoulders by being able to play regularly and well. Drouin has scored .934 points per game compared to Perreault&rsquo;s .906 average. These figures show that Drouin is bettering Perreault&rsquo;s scoring power.</p><p>When the balloting starts, I hope the voters consider Drouin, Villemure and other fine rookies like Detroit&rsquo;s Tom Webster, Serge Bernier and Bill Lesuk of Philadelphia, Bob Berry of L.A., Vancouver&rsquo;s Dale Tallon and Rosaire Paiement.</p><p><b>MARK ZELLINGER, St. Louis, Mo.</b></p><h2><b>Hull Critic Way Out Claims News&rsquo; Reader</b></h2><p>Phillip Foreman&rsquo;s remarks concerning Bobby Hull in a recent issue of THE HOCKEY NEWS were absurd. He stated that Hull doesn&rsquo;t measure up to Bobby Orr, Jean Beliveau because Chicago hasn&rsquo;t won a Stanley Cup while Hull has been playing with the Hawks.</p><p>Well what about Gordie Howe at Detroit? The Wings haven&rsquo;t won a cup in 15 years or what about Ed Giacomin, Stan Miki-ta, Alex Delvecchio? Just because their teams haven&rsquo;t won a cup it shouldn&rsquo;t detract from their greatness, especially when one talks about Bobby Hull.</p><p>And concerning his comments on Hull&rsquo;s playoff record. Prior to last year, Hull played 82 playoff games, scored 44 goals and had 40 assists, not bad for a man who has been held in check.</p><p><b>RICHARD ORTISI, Somerville, Mass.</b></p><h2><b>Four-Goal Games Bewildering To Fan</b></h2><p>It has come to my attention while reading your tremendous newspaper that in the past four months a consistent error has been made.</p><p>Beginning from the Stars of the Week column, and continuing through many team columns, the point about 4,-goal games in the NHL has always been missing one name. Consistently, the name Phil Esposito has been left out. The articles, up-to-date, say, &ldquo;&hellip; only 4-goal games this season are bv Mikita. Balon and Paiement.&rdquo; One specific article but I refer to is in the March 5 HOCKEY NEWS an article about Rosaire Paiement. Phil Esposito scored the first 4-goal game this season, against the Los Angeles Kings-Oct. 14.</p><p>Please correct this error and it will set my mind at ease. I really can&rsquo;t express my gratitude for all THE HOCKEY NEWS is doing for the world of hockey. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the best!&rdquo;</p><p><b>DON SINGER West Hartford, Conn.</b></p><p>(Editor&rsquo;s note: Sorry Mr. Singer, but the NHL says there has only been three four-goal games this season &mdash; Mikita, Balon and Paiement. Esposito scored four goals in that Oct. 14 game against L.A. but before the teams left the ice, it was changed and the goal credited to another Bruin &mdash; not Espo. Thus he had only a three-goal hat trick.)<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Board Meeting

<div class="byline">BY BILL LIBBY</div><p>LOS ANGELES&mdash;</p><p>Apparently to clarify rumors printed here and elsewhere about their interest in Sid Abel, the Los Angeles Kings have formally announced that he has been added to their staff as &ldquo;scout and player consultant.&rdquo;</p><p>Clearly, however, this is only a holding operation. What it does is give the Kings first call on the highly-regarded veteran as coach or general manager later, although it does not rule out the possibility he will take an offer elsewhere.</p><p>Larry Regan, general manager of the Kings since shortly after their formation in 1967, has improved the team since taking over the coaching reins this season and says he expects to continue coaching next season, although the team has fallen out of contention for a playoff berth.</p><p>Asked about Abel, he said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been friendly with Sid for many years, respect him highly and have asked him to do some scouting for us. It involves no more than this.&rdquo;</p><p>Of course, the final decision on the Kings&rsquo; leadership in the immediate future will be made by owner Jack Kent Cooke, who was busy with his promotion of the Joe Frazier-Muhammad Ali &ldquo;fight of the century&rdquo; until recently.</p><p>At this writing, the Kings have won only one of their last eight games. With 14 games to play, they stand in sixth place, 16 games under the .500 level at 18-34-12. Last season, they finished sixth, 38 games under .500, at 14-52-10.</p><p>With 189 goals scored, the Kings were the highest scoring of the expansion teams, old or new, but with 252 surrendered, they were the second-most scored-on team in all of hockey.</p><p>Clearly, their goal-tending and defensive strength must be upgraded somehow. Even first-year teams Buffalo and Vancouver had given up slightly fewer goals. In fact, Regan admits, &ldquo;Our failures against these expansion clubs has cost us a playoff berth.&rdquo;</p><p>Incredibly, the Kings completed their seven-game season series against Buffalo with only one victory and with two games left against Vancouver had only one victory. Each came in the first meeting. They went 1-2-3 with Buffalo and are 1-3-0 with Vancouver.</p><p>Of course, the way the Kings feel about these two teams is the way other teams felt about the Kings in their first season of 1967-68 when they surprised a lot of clubs. Sadly, they began to slide after that and only began the road back this season.</p><p>In their last game against Buffalo, the Kings were at home and fired a team record 56 shots on the Sabre nets but were held to a 3-3 tie by Roger Crozier, who was injured, and Joe Daley. The tie was accomplished dramatically on a goal by Ralph Back-strom with only 12 seconds to play, one of several noteworthy and thrillling moments the team has achieved at home this season.</p><p>The Kings then went on the road and lost in Montreal, 8-2, and New York, 4-2, but Back-strom set a team record by scoring goals in four straight games before being blanked in New York. The Kings benefitted from unusual converage on the road as many L.A. area writers and columnists took advantage of the trip to be in Big City for Monday&rsquo;s Frazier-Ali action.</p><p>The Kings have given a lot of people a lift this season.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-02715/3205781-1-eng-US/f0006-022.jpg" title="f0006-02" width="310" height="329"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>SID ABEL&hellip;What Lies Ahead?</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

<div class="byline">BY PAT CURRAN</div><p>MONTREAL&mdash;</p><p>Hurt elbow and hurt pride.</p><p>That was the line on one of the old and young members of the Canadiens last week as the team had little left to shoot for then victory in the playoffs.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-02714/3205992-1-eng-US/f0007-022.jpg" title="f0007-02" width="139" height="239"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 139px"><b>Larry Pleau</b></figcaption></div><p>Another bitter setback at Toronto, their fourth in five games with the Leafs, virtually robbed the Habs of their last chance to catch the Rangers for second place in the East Division. And in defeat, veteran Claude Larose was sent to the sidelines for about two weeks.</p><p>The veteran right winger suffered pulled tendons and torn muscles just below the right elbow, following a check by Leaf defenseman Bob Baun. It was another setback for the 28-year-old Larose in a frustrating season of return to Montreal from Minnesota. He was still working back to shape after suffering a badly broken nose that had shelved him for 13 games.</p><p>Meanwhile Larry Pleau, the fine big pivot prospect, was rounding back to form nicely in four games since his return for the first time since November. The Boston-born centre suffered torn knee ligaments in-a game against Buffalo early in the season and needed surgery.</p><p>Pleau got more ice time each outing after coming back against Los Angeles, March 6, toiling as a penalty killer and some shifts on a line.</p><p>Now for the hurt pride &mdash; that of goalie Phil Myre for whom inactivity has been a burden the past month.</p><p>After giving up four goals in the first period of a 6-3 loss at Los Angeles, Feb. 6, Myre wound up watching Rogatien Vachon do all the goaltending through 14 straight games. But Phil hardly had reason to complain against Vachon&rsquo;s brilliance through 10 wins, two losses and two ties in which he allowed only 28 goals.</p><p>It was the news that Canadiens planned to carry three goaltenders the rest of the season that hurt the 22-year-old Myre. The Habs had no sooner won a big game 4-1 at Detroit, the day of trade and recall deadlines, before Ron Caron, the assistant G.M., announced the recall of Ken Dryden.</p><p>Myre took it hard and banged his stick on the floor of the dressing room. A few days later the youngster blew up at practice when Coach Al MacNeil leaned to Dryden for shooting practice.</p><p>Phil threw his big goalie stick over the boards and even shouted that the coach might as well get rid of him. The sore point softened later when MacNeil talked privately to the young goalie.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

Pleau’s Return Helps Ease Loss Of Larose; Habs Call Up Dryden

<div class="byline">&#x2014; By Bill Libby</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02768/3206023-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="304" height="459"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>LORNE WORSLEY&hellip;Goaling Is Just A Job</b></figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01868/3206030-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="156" height="197"></div><h2><b><i>The Men With The Nets&hellip;</i></b></h2><p class="dropcap"><b><span>L</span>ORNE &ldquo;GUMP&rdquo; WORSLEY</b> stands only 5&rsquo;7&rdquo; and admits to 180 pounds. He has had a paunch as long as modern man can remember. He insists it isn&rsquo;t a beer belly. &ldquo;I drink whiskey, not beer,&rdquo; he snaps. He is a tough cookie, cocky and outspoken. He dreads flying, but endures it. All his life, whenever he could, he went by train. He says. &ldquo;If we still had train travel like the old days I&rsquo;d probably play until I was 100. I love the ice. I hate the air.&rdquo; He is not yet 100, despite rumors. He is, however, almost 42. The only older active goal-tender is Jacques Plante and the only other older active player is Gordie Howe. Yet teams like Toronto and Los Angeles tried desperately to trade for Gump this season.</p><p>Twenty years ago he was kicking around the minors because he didn&rsquo;t look like a goaler. He finally made the majors with New York in 1953 at 23 but Rangers periodically kept sending him down. He played part or all of 10 seasons with the Rangers and he was greater than anyone realized or remembers because they were so bad. He usually permitted three or less goals per game for a defenseless team. His coaches complained he was out of shape and flopped on the ice too much. He seldom was beaten by a first shot. He&rsquo;d go down, make the save and miss the second or third or fourth shot. His mates rarely cleared the puck for him. He griped and kept on going. In 1963, Rangers traded him to Montreal and Montreal sent him to the minors. At 34, he seemed washed up.</p><p>However, he wound up playing part or all of seven seasons for Canadiens and they won three league titles and four Stanley-Cups during his tenure. One season he permitted less than two goals per game In 37 playoff games, he permitted less than two goals per game. Finally, he gained some glorv. However, Montreal benched him last season and late last season sold him to Minnesota. He helped the Stars get into the playoffs, but then played in-effectively in the post-season round. However, this season he has been very good, playing about one third of the games and permitting little more than two goals per game.</p><p>After the first flight this year, he smiled wistfully and said, Well, only 38 flights left.&rdquo; He will earn about $40,000 this year, which makes it worthwhile. He does calis-thenics to stay more limber than he looks. He still goes pretty good. He and his wife of 20 years, Doreen, have an 18-year-old son in the Canadian Air Force, a l5-year-old son who is a hotshot amateur goaler, a seven-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter. In season, his family lives with him in Minnesota.</p><p>He insists goal-tending is not as tough as it&rsquo;s supposed to be. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just a job,&rdquo; he shrugs. He has had more than 100 stitches in his face but he is still one of the fewregular NHL goalkeepers not wearing a mask. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m too old to get a new habit now,&rdquo; he says. He says his biggest thrill was the 4-0 shutout in the seventhgame of the playoff finals in 1965 and his best game a double-overtime playoff loss to Toronto in which he made 60 saves.</p><p>Early in February, he played for Minnesota in Boston where the Bruins had won 19 straight games and were within three of the NHL record for home victories. The burly Bruins hammered 25 shots at him in the first period, 19 in the second and 23 in the third, but he stopped 63 of the 67 shots and held Boston to a 4-4 streak-snapping tie. It was one of the most amazing performances in hockey history. He was asked if someday he wanted to go for the record of 83 shots in one game which the Bruins of 1941 directed at Chicago&rsquo;s Sam LoPresti in a 3-2 triumph. When I see that many shots in a game,&rdquo; said the tough old Gumper, &ldquo;that&rsquo;s when I&rsquo;ll pack it in&rdquo;.</p><h2><b><i>A Kid By Comparison&hellip;</i></b></h2><p><b>ROGER CROZIER IS ALMOST 29.</b> He is at 5&rsquo;8&rdquo; almost as short as Worsley, but at 160 pounds considerably more slender. He looks frail. After a game, when he is soaked with sweat, he looks like a cat that fell into a bathtub. There is nothing to him. He turned pro full-time in 1962 and made the majors with Detroit in 1964. He quit for awhile in 1967 when he found the strain made him too nervous, but got a grip on himself and came back shortly. He had played all or part of seven seasons with Wings when they traded him to the new Buffalo expansion team last summer.</p><p>Early this season he had to handle 40 to 60 shots a game many times, but he was better than he ever had been before. The Sabres were a sorry lot who could not offer him much support, but he made them respectable. Then he was sidelined awhile with pancreatitis, an internal inflammation of the organ below and behind the stomach. Since he returned, things have been better. Punch Imlach has made a lot of changes and the Sabres have become a surprisingly tough team.</p><p>Dressing after a recent tie, the slim veteran said, &ldquo;You get to be a realist in this business after awhile. You can&rsquo;t do anything about the amount of shots you have to handle. You know in your mind if you played well and you learn to let it go at that. Otherwise the pressure builds up bigger and bigger until you can&rsquo;t stand it. I&rsquo;d been through that. This time, I tried to laugh it off. I kept telling myself, &lsquo;Hey, it has to get better.&rsquo; Maybe it didn&rsquo;t have to, but it did. Punch is a tough coach, but I&rsquo;ve learned you&rsquo;ve got to be tough to survive.&rdquo;</p><p>He insists he was not insulted to be let go to an expansion team: &ldquo;There was a lot of friction in Detroit and it affected the players. Everyone was unhappy. You can see what&rsquo;s happened there this season. I&rsquo;m better off in Buffalo. We&rsquo;re building up. Punch is the boss. Everyone knows where he stands. With expansion, good goal-tenders last longer than they used to. I may live through a lot of years in goal yet,&rdquo; he smiled. &ldquo;Look at old guys like Jacques Plante and Gump Worsley.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Ehman Makes Impact On Kid Performers With Ice Knowledge

<div class="byline">BY DAN PROUDFOOT</div><p>TORONTO &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>D</span>arryl Sittler, one of 10 young players who successfully jumped all the way from the 1970 amateur draft to the National Hockey League, is expected to rejoin Toronto Maple Leafs March 24 after missing 28 games with a broken wrist.</p><p>Leafs view his return as a reinforcement just in time for the playoffs.</p><p>Sittler, 20, says he &ldquo;just hopes he can work back into the lineup.&rdquo;</p><p>But coach John McLellan has little doubt about the capabilities of the center-left wing, and he&rsquo;s especially pleased that his return will allow Leafs to ice four lines whenever game situations demand such a move.</p><p>Sittler shot 42 goals and 48 assists last year with London Knights of the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League, where he played at center. But McLellan began using him as a left wing early this season and was delighted with the results. Sittler had seven goals and full marks for good defensive play when a check by Gilles Marotte snapped his wrist Jan. 16.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01844/3206092-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="254" height="273"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>DARRYL SITTLER&hellip;Ready For Action</b></figcaption></div><p>&ldquo;I hope to give him some time at center,&rdquo; said McLellan. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s his position. We put him at left wing so he could play regularly, and there was no griping or anything. He just went out and played.&rdquo;</p><p>Brian Spencer&rsquo;s arrival from Tulsa Oilers coincided with Sit-tler&rsquo;s injury, and ever since Spencer has appeared with center Jim Harrison and either Guy Trottier or George Armstrong at right.</p><p>And so with Sittler&rsquo;s imminent return, McLellan is considering different combinations. He might try a fourth line of Sittler, left wing Denis Dupere and Armstrong. Or he might place Sittler back at left wing with Harrison, and move Spencer over to the right side.</p><p>&ldquo;One thing for sure,&rdquo; said McLellan, &ldquo;Spencer will be in there some place. We need his drive.</p><p>&ldquo;Anyhow, this is just thinking. I&rsquo;m not sure what lines we&rsquo;ll end up with for the playoffs.&rdquo;</p><p>Two things for sure, though: Dave Keon, Billy MacMillan and Garry Monahan and Norm Ullman, Ron Ellis and Paul Henderson will form Leafs top units; and McLellan wants two additional capable lines.</p><p>With several weeks remaining before the playoffs, McLellan noted that both Leafs&rsquo; likely quarter-final opponents, New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens, were utilizing fourthlines. The sophomore Leaf coach wanted equal equipment with which to match strategies.</p><p><b>LEAF NOTES</b> &mdash; Leafs and visiting players have complained in recent weeks of heavy ice and heat in Maple Leaf Gardens&hellip; Norm Ullman commented one night that he thought he was shooting slush when he tried a pass &hellip; Several games later, when the ice was back to &ldquo;normal,&rdquo; Bobby Hull noted it had been &ldquo;heavy going&rdquo;&hellip; Inside opinion is that the powerful incandescent lights provided for televising the games in color causes the problem, because the building itself isn&rsquo;t hot&hellip; Denis Dupere, who played much of this season with Tulsa, bloomed into a capable penalty killer, paired with George Armstrong&hellip;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Movements of Players

<div class="byline">BY HAL SIGURDSON</div><p>VANCOUVER&mdash;</p><p>The Vancouver Canucks stumbled off a plane here last week, tired but happy.</p><p>Tired but happy?</p><p>It is obvious that a team that had just completed 15 days on the road would be tired, but they won only one point out of a possible 14 points, why should they be happy?</p><p>For one thing, they were home. For another, they got their only point in a thrilling encounter with the Montreal Canadiens on the last stop on the trip. The Canucks came from behind a 3-1 first period deficit to gain a well-earned 3-3 tie.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-01858/3206293-1-eng-US/f0010-012.jpg" title="f0010-01" width="144" height="231"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 144px"><b>Rosaire Paiement</b></figcaption></div><p>There were times during the seven-game trip that the Canucks felt they had earned a point, but it was not until they got to Montreal that they were actually able to do so.</p><p>The Vancouver team started against Boston and that is like being hit by lightning. The Canucks astonished the Boston crowd by jumping to a 2-0 lead and were tied with the Bruins. 22, after the second period.</p><p>Then Boston threw a Sunday punch.</p><p>The Bruins rattled in three goals in 20 seconds to better a mark which had stood for almost 19 years. (Bill Mosienko of the Chicago Black Hawks scored a hat trick in 21 seconds against the New York Rangers on March 23. 1952).</p><p>That was just the start of many disasters that were to befall the Canucks in the next two weeks.</p><p>In fact, a few days later the Canucks were to earn their place in the NHL guide when they became one of two&rdquo; teams to have a game cancelled due to weather conditions. The Canucks hit Montreal on the day of the worst storm in the city&rsquo;s history and their game with the Canadiens had to be postponed until the end of Vancouver&rsquo;s road trip (the 3-3 tie).</p><p>Some of the things that happened to the Canucks on that trip may not make the NHL guide, but they do make interesting reading.</p><p>Among the happenings on this trip that may live in infamy, include:</p><p>&bull; There was Rosaire Paiement&rsquo;s two punch victory over Bobby Orr in Boston Garden the first game of the trip. That pugilistic encounter got only slightly less publicity than Frazier and Ali a few nights later.<br>&bull; In the second game in Philadelphia, the Flyers erupted for five goals in the second period. That was a club record and sent the home fans into ecstasy and Canuck coach Hal Laycoe looking for a bridge.<br>&bull; Then it was on to New York for a game that was held up every time there was a faceoff in the third period as the ice chipped away and repairs were required. The New York Times, which prides itself on these things, claimed there were 18 stoppages to repair holes in the ice. That would probably stand as an NHL record for two teams over 18 holes.<br>&bull; Next, of course, came the big snow fall in Montreal and the Canucks could be excused for thinking an unseen hand was trying to put a stop to this foolishness.<br>&bull; Then came Buffalo Sunday night where Gilbert Perreault scored two goals to tie the alltime goal-scoring record for a rookie at 34.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><h2><b>Canucks Pass 485,000 Mark</b></h2><p>VANCOUVER&mdash;</p><p>With their March 11 game at the Pacific Coliseum against the Detroit Red Wings, the Vancouver Canucks topped the 485,000 mark in paid attendance this season.</p><p>After 31 home date the Canucks are averaging 15,150 National Hockey League tans per game. Including the Detroit assignment, there are eight games remaining on their regular schedule &mdash; six of which have already been sold out.</p><p>And to boot, more than 14,000 season tickets have already been booked for the 1971-72 season.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

ACTION PHOTOS of the BOSTON BRUINS

<div class="byline">BY BYRON YAKE</div><p>PITTSBURGH&mdash;</p><p>Somebody could make a fortune selling Amarillo Wranglers&rsquo; buttons at Penguin games.</p><p>The Civic Arena has been designated a War Zone.</p><p>If the Penguins owned a hospital and an airline with only one flight &mdash; from Pittsburgh to Amarillo, Tex. &mdash; they&rsquo;d make a bundle.</p><p>With 12 games left, with four points separating them from fourthplace Philadelphia for the last playoff spot, the Penguins injured list looked like a war casualty list.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-01847/3206362-1-eng-US/f0011-012.jpg" title="f0011-01" width="148" height="245"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 148px"><b>Greg Polis</b></figcaption></div><p>&mdash;Goalie Les Binkley. Sprained right knee in a splint. Prognosis unknown, but was expected to be our for at least a week. Paul Hoganson of Amarillo&mdash;of course&mdash;was brought up as a backstop to Al Smith.</p><p>&mdash;Leftwinger Keith McCreary. Hospitalized a couple days with a back injury which left his leg and back momentarily paralyzed. Probably out for at least a half dozen games. He and Greg Polis lead the Pens in goals with 18 each.</p><p>&mdash;Polis. Bad case of mononucleosis. Out for the season. The Pens&rsquo; rookie had looked sluggish, missed a game with the flu, then when examined was found to have tonsil problems. Further tests showed he had mono.</p><p>&mdash;Ken Schinkel. Out with a broken shoulder since Dec. 30, the National Hockey League AllStar choice was ready to return, did play one game, but suffered a bruised shoulder &mdash; the same one operated on &mdash; and has been out since. Expected back for the last three weeks of action. Has 14 goals and had them when he was injured Dec. 30.</p><p>&mdash;Defenseman Bryan Watson. Still out with a broken left leg. Still has cast on. Still using crutches. Hardly a way he can return&mdash;ever if the Pens make the playoffs.</p><p>&mdash;Lowell McDonald&mdash;Expected to be a help to the Pens this year, he has been sidelined with a knee injury. Had an operation, is still limping, but beginning to skate in practice.</p><p>To compensate for those crucial losses, Coach Red Kelly has played checkers with the Amarillo farm club.</p><p>During the season, he has had nine rookies on the club at one time or another from the Wranglers.</p><p>For the remainder of the season, the Penguins will have from Amarillo, besides Hoganson, left winger John Stewart, Left winger Robin Burns, Right winger-center Rod Zaine, who has made three trips back and forth from Texas this year, and defenseman Sheldon Kannegiesser.</p><p>It was time for Kelly to stack the deck.</p><p>Kelly had his usual pre-game chat with his players. But the topic this night included $$$$ (money). The Penguins apparently got the message.</p><p>They blanked the Canadiens 40, snapping a seven-game non winning streak of their own.</p><p>&ldquo;Sometimes the guys forget what this game&rsquo;s all about,&rdquo; said defenseman Dunc McCallum who contributed a goal and two assists that night.</p><p>&ldquo;Wouldn&rsquo;t you get up for a few games if you knew you could make that much money?&rdquo; Kelly asked.</p><p>Should the Penguins finish in third place&mdash;fourth place is more realistic&mdash;each player would receive $750. Should they win the Stanley Cup, each player would received $8,250. Please don&rsquo;t bet on that.</p><p>Just making the playoffs is still a reasonable possibility for the Penguins. And so for this night, Kelly added some extra incentive.</p><p>Kelly scribbled the figure $1,400 beside the $2,250 figure a player would make if the club wins the quarterfinals.</p><p>But the Penguin coach declined to discuss what the $1,400 figure was.</p><p>&ldquo;I guess I should have covered that one up,&rdquo; he laughed. (Once can assume it has something to do with a bonus.).<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

<div class="byline">BY JACK BERRY</div><p>DETROIT&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>W</span>hen this strange season started for the Red Wings there was no concern about the club scoring goals. That was listed under &ldquo;strong points&rdquo; as a matter of fact.</p><p>Seven returnees scored 20 or more goals last season and three of them had 30 or more. Only Boston and Chicago scored more goals than Detroit.</p><p>Now the Red Wings are struggling to get goals and four of last season&rsquo;s 20-goal men have departed in trades. True the Red Wings got some 20-goal men in return, notably Red Berenson, Mickey Redmond and Billy Collins, but they have not burned up the nets.</p><p>Berenson has played exceptionally well and has been an adroit playmaker and penalty killer. He&rsquo;s still cruising along at just better than a point-a-game clip. And his line, with Nick Libett and Tim Ecclestone on the flanks, was Detroit&rsquo;s best.</p><p>But coach Doug Barkley, frantically juggling lines, broke it up. Barkley wanted more goals &mdash; Detroit floats from eight to 10th in scoring &mdash; and when Gordie Howe returned from his Florida vacation, he put Howe in Ecclestone&rsquo;s spot.</p><p>Ecclestone went to left wing on an all right-handed line with Collins at center and Redmond on right wing. Because of Redmond&rsquo;s lengthy absence with a badly sprained ankle, the Red Wings are going to have to wait until next season to really see what the hard-shooting former Montrealer can do for them.</p><p>Rookie Tom Webster, the club&rsquo;s goal leader and point leader most of the season, was bounced around several lines and Barkley said &ldquo;Tommy&rsquo;s going to have to fight for his job&hellip;he&rsquo;s not an all-around player.&rdquo;</p><p>Webster fell from favor in a hurry. Just a little while ago he was being touted for Calder Trophy consideration but Buffalo&rsquo;s Gilbert Perreault has made that no contest and now Webster is struggling to get ice time.</p><p>A problem with the Red Wings, although they won&rsquo;t admit it, is that they have just too many players and no one is getting a full measure of ice time.</p><p>St. Louis&rsquo; Scotty Bowman was surprised after a recent game in which the Blues beat the Wings, 3-1, with a pair of third period goals. St. Louis had played the night before while Detroit sat home and rested&hellip;and then the Wings used four lines against the Blues who welcomed a chance to go with four.</p><p>Bowman said he was glad not to see a rested Berenson coming over the boards at the Blues every third shift.</p><p>The Wings have been carrying 22 players including goalies and at one point had it up to 26 before dispatching Hank Monteith to Fort Worth and returning Rick McCann to Baltimore.</p><p>Barkley said the additional players were due to injuries but just a short time ago teams got through the season on a basic allowance of 16 players and two goalkeepers.</p><p>One broadcaster asked a Detroit writer what the Detroit lines were and he replied: &ldquo;Just take the roster, mix it up and those combinations will be out before the game is over.&rdquo;</p><p>It obviously is a time of experimentation for the Red Wings who can finish no better than fifth in the East Division and are playing for next year&rsquo;s salary.</p><p>At times the club does show promise and it seems that with all the trading, the Wings have come up with some good young players and a couple of fine older ones, especially Berenson</p><p><b>RED WING NOTES:</b> Jim Krulicki became the 11th player acquired by trade by Detroit since the season began and the ninth by general manager Ned Harkness when he arrived from New York in exchange for defense veteran Dale Rolfe.</p><p>Now only six players remain from the club that finished in third place in the NHL East last season&hellip;Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, Nick Libett, Gary Bergman, Ron Harris and Roy Edwards.</p><p>Howe returned well-tanned from his 11 days in Florida and promptly fell on his tender left wrist in his first game back&hellip;but he did help set up Libett for the goal that tied the Rangers with only 15 seconds to play.</p><p>Jim Niekamp, the tough Detroit-born defenseman who has been at Baltimore most of the season, will finish the year with the Wings&hellip;they like what they&rsquo;ve seen of him.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

STARS OF THE WEEK

<div class="byline">BY DWAYNE NETLAND</div><p>TWIN CITIES &mdash;</p><p>There was an audible amount of grumbling among the hockey fans of Minnesota directed at general manager Wren Blair recently for a couple of deals he transacted on the same day.</p><p>Blair shook up the North Star roster by peddling popular center Danny O&rsquo;Shea to the Chicago Black Hawks for 37-year-old Doug Mohns and 21-year-old rookie Terry Caffery.</p><p>Four hours later, the North Stars had sent their suspended center, Tommy Williams, plus another player to be named after the season to the California Seals for 34-year-old Ted Hampson.</p><p>In another deal announced on the heels of the Williams-Hampson swap, Blair acquired Wayne Muloin from the Seals to bolster the club defense when Fred Barrett went out for the season with a broken leg. In exchange for Muloin, the North Stars gave up Dick Redmond from their Cleveland club in the AHL.</p><p>Blair also completed a five-player trade with minor league overtones when he swapped three forwards Wayne Schultz, Bill Orban and Steve Sutherland, a promising amateur with Port Huron of the IHL to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Terry Holbrook, a forward, and defenseman Roger Cote. Schultz and Orban were with Cleveland.</p><p>Events of the past two weeks have vindicated Blair&rsquo;s judgment completely.</p><p>Mohns and Hampson have fitted in remarkably well with the North Stars in their drive for a West Division playoff berth, and their contributions have been immense.</p><p>While Caffery has seen little action, the fact is that he was not counted on much for this season anyway, and remains a valuable piece of property for the future.</p><p>While the Minnesota management was understandably reluctant to part with O&rsquo;Shea, who could help any team, Williams had not played for three weeks since coach Jack Gordon dropped him off the active roster and the chances of his ever playing again for the North Stars were nil.</p><p>Hampson and Mohns, meanwhile, have been solid rocks of strength for Minnesota.</p><p>Each of them has turned out to be coach Jack Gordon&rsquo;s ideal type of two-way player.</p><p>Hampson, the former California captain and 1969 winner of the Masterton Memorial Trophy, was installed at center on a line with J.P. Parise and Buster Harvey.</p><p>He contributed four assists in his first five games with Minnesota, then came up with critical short-handed goals in a pair of back-to-back weekend games in which the North Stars defeated Vancouver and Philadelphia by identical 3-1 margins.</p><p>The North Stars were struggling in a 1-1 tie with Vancouver when Hampson scooped up a loose puck at the red line and unloaded a 45-foot shot that got past goalie Dunc Wilson and turned the game around.</p><p>Watching from the Metropolitan Sports Center press box that night was Vic Stasiuk, the Philadelphia coach. Stasiuk and his team had just arrived in the Twin Cities, for their afternoon game the next day, from a matinee 4-4 tie at home with California.</p><p>&ldquo;Hampson&rsquo;s shot was the key play in this game,&rdquo; observed Stasiuk. &ldquo;You could see Vancouver wilt after that. It&rsquo;s tough when you&rsquo;re working on a power play and then the other fellow comes up with the goal.&rdquo;</p><p>The next afternoon, Stasiuk was the victim as Hampson, on a penlaty-killing mission, fired a shot from almost the identical area and drove it in off goalie Doug Favell&rsquo;s pads for Minnesota&rsquo;s first goal at 9:14 of the second period.</p><p>Mohns, who played his first five games for Minnesota at left wing, was shifted back to defense after Barrett was injured.</p><p>It was one of the wisest decisions Gordon has made as Minnesota coach.</p><p>Mohns supplied just what the North Stars had desperately needed &mdash; an ability to carry the puck out of his own zone against strong forechecking and launch a Minnesota rush.</p><p>NORTH STAR NOTES &mdash; Bobby Rousseau, returned to a regular job as center on a new Minnesota line with Charlie Burns and Lou Nanne, participated in his 700th NHL game &hellip; With Gump Worsley out for 10 days with a pulled groin muscle, Cesare Maniago inherited a fulltime job in the Minnesota nets and came up with a weekend performance that allowed only two goals &hellip; Bill Goldsworthy, who had only six goals at the All Star break, boosted his total to 25.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

National Hockey League SUMMARIES

<div class="byline">BY ED CONRAD</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0016-01620/3207674-1-eng-US/f0016-012.jpg" title="f0016-01" width="302" height="309"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>BOBBY CLARKE&hellip;Shoots For A Record</b></figcaption></div><p>PHILADELPHIA&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>T</span>hey&rsquo;re coming down to the real nitty-gritty in the NHL playoff races and the Flyers have to hope 1971 isn&rsquo;t some sort of carbon copy of 1970.</p><p>The only similarity between the two seasons is that, in all probability, is a playoff spot for the Flyers won&rsquo;t be decided until the final weekend. It should be that close.</p><p>This year, unlike the 1970 season when they thought they had it made, the Flyers have to come on strong at the end if they hope to be one of four West Division teams to qualify. A slump would be disastrous.</p><p>A year ago, the Flyers were as high as second place &mdash; behind the runaway St. Louis Blues &mdash; with just two weeks remaining. Then they lost their final six games, all by low-scores, and wound up in fifth place on a technicality. They had the same point total as Oakland but were placed lower due to fewer victo ries.</p><p>In fact, the race between Minnesota, Pittsburgh and the Flyers for the final two playoff spots in the West may well be the only real competitive race in the NHL these final days of the regular schedule.</p><p>The East Division playoff berths and the first two in the West are positive. In fact, it seems there will be no jockeying of positions among these teams in the final two weeks. It&rsquo;ll be Boston first, New York second, Montreal third, and Toronto fourth in the East and Chicago and St. Louis one-two in the West.</p><p>In fact, Minnesota seemed assured of finishing third place following its 3-1 victory over the Flyers their last meeting. This is due to the North Stars&rsquo; much softer schedule than either Philly or Pittsburgh.</p><p>The Flyers, in particular, have it tough because their last 10 games are exceedingly difficult.</p><p>In fact, of the Flyers&rsquo; final 12 games, six are against the teams which are bound to make the Eastern playoffs &mdash; two each against Toronto, a home game against New York, and away games in Boston, Montreal and Chicago. Those latter three rinks are the rinks where the Flyers have their hardest time. Even salvaging a tie.</p><p>If there is any consolation in such a difficult schedule, there is an iota in the fact that these particular clubs shouldn&rsquo;t be fighting for the playoffs. All four should have things locked up and shouldn&rsquo;t even be fighting for a higher position, because final placement should be already settled.</p><p>This could turn out to be a hindrance rather than a blessing, for the Flyers, perhaps, since there will be less pressure on the opposition and, consequently fewer basic mistakes.</p><p>The Flyers have to hope it works to their advantage, however, with teams playing conservatively &mdash; in the hitting department, at least &mdash; in order to be in top shape for the start of the playoffs.</p><p>Still, however, the Flyers are up against it. They have been unable to win the big games these past few weeks which would&rsquo;ve put the pressure on the other guy. Instead, they&rsquo;re in serious danger of being on the outside looking in for the second straight Stanley Cup playoffs.</p><p>That is, unless they can respond to the demands of the final two weeks. If they can&rsquo;t, they don&rsquo;t deserve it. And, if they don&rsquo;t make it. they won&rsquo;t be able to blame anyone but themselves.</p><p>Meanwhile, sophomore center Bobby Clarke is closing in on three Flyers&rsquo; records. His goal output of 21 is five short of the record set last season by Gary Dornhoefer. Bobby&rsquo;s 33 assists are four short of Lou Angotti&rsquo;s mark, set in 1967-68. And his point total is 54, which is four short of the mark set by Andre Lacroix last season.</p><p>Goalie Doug Favell, who has played the last six games, is one win away from having his best year in the NHL. At the moment, Doug has 15 wins, which ties his win total of the 1967-68 year.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

THE HOCKEY NEWS

<div class="byline">BY NORMAN MacLEAN</div><p>NEW YORK &mdash;</p><p>Back in November when the Rangers first put Ex-Detroit Red Wing Peter Stemkowski on a line with Bob Nevin and Ted Irvine, Emile Francis was asked if he thought this was the best checking line in the National Hockey League.</p><p>&ldquo;What do You mean checking line,&rdquo; said the Rangers general manager-coach. &ldquo;That line is a damn good scoring combination. It forechecks very well and this will get the boys many good chances to put the puck in the net. Another thing, on this team we don&rsquo;t have a number one, number two or number three lines. They all play, they all start on different occasions and they all are very important to the team.&rdquo;</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-01530/3207774-1-eng-US/f0017-012.jpg" title="f0017-01" width="149" height="230"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 149px"><b>Bruce MacGregor</b></figcaption></div><p>The present &ldquo;checking line&rdquo; consists of Stemkowski, Irvine and Bruce MacGregor, obtained from Detroit in the Arnie Brown exchange early in February. The acquisition of MacGregor &ldquo;made&rdquo; two lines for Francis. He was able to move Nevin up to the Walt Tkaczuk-Dave Balon trio and inserted Brucie with Stem-mer and &ldquo;Albert&rdquo; as the boys call Irvine.</p><p>Nevin played with Balon and Tkaczuk from February of 1969 until opening day in Boston the next season. He was charged by Jim Harrison, now with Toronto and sidelined for about a month with a bad knee. Billy Fairbairn stepped in at this point, but his month long early season bout with mononucleosis has limited his production to seven goals &mdash; and his ice time to the minimum in recent games.</p><p>In the Rangers last seven games, the S-I-M line picked up 33 points on fifteen goals and eighteen assists. Over this span,. MacGregor has six goals and seven assists for 13 points. Stem-mer has three goals and seven assists for ten points and Irvine has six goals and four assists for ten points.</p><p>MacGregor notched his second NHL career hat trick, during an 8-1 outburst against the California Golden seals on March 3. He now has twelve goals, six with New York and six with the Wings. If he makes twenty goals, and don&rsquo;t count him out from this, at his present rate, the trade will have been the steal of the season. In any event, the Garden Gallery has taken little Brucie to their hearts and now cheer his every move on the ice.</p><p>&ldquo;When I first received word of the trade. I was shocked. I had been with Detroit for so long (ten seasons) that I felt I was part of the established order of things there. My children and wife were happy in Detroit and the trade came as quite a shock. Peter Stemkowski talked me into reporting, telling me the Rangers were a going organization and that I would be happy in New York. He decided me and Emile Francis has given me the opportunity to play a bit more. Maybe I have been lucky, but I feel real good now and hope the goals will keep coming,&rdquo; said MacGregor.</p><p>Stemkowski, as well as his off the ice job as a New York ambassador of good will in dealing with former Detroit teammates, has become a bellwether as the pivot on the S-l-M line. The Stem-mer has potted 15 goals and done a superb job in tying up enemy big wheels such as Jean Beliveau, Norman Ullman, Red Berenson and even to some extent Phil Esposito.</p><p>&ldquo;I also was shocked when the news came to me about my trade to New York. I had grown up wanting to be a Toronto Maple Leaf. When they traded me to Detroit this was hard to take, but I adjusted and enjoyed my years with the Wings. Emile Francis pointed out the advantages of playing in New York with a contender and I am glad to be here,&rdquo; recounts Peter.</p><p>&ldquo;That Stemkowski is a real sandbag when you try to take him out of the play,&rdquo; admired Mike Robitaille, after playing against the Rangers and Stemmer following the Arnie Brown, Robitaille &mdash; Larry Brown-MacGregor Detroit &mdash; New York transaction. &ldquo;I never knew he was that good when I played with the Rangers.&rdquo;</p><p>The left wing of the trio, Ted &ldquo;Albert&rdquo; Irvine, is the most unsung hero on the team, albeit one of the most valued. Irvine, with his fantastic one period hat trick against Los Angeles on March 7 in the course of a 4-2 win, now has scored 6 game winning goals. He has 18 markers, equalling his career high registered while with the Kings in 1967-68. His trade to New York came in February of 1970. Juha Widing and Real Lemieux went to the King in the transaction which new York has never regretted.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

<div class="byline">BY BOB VERDI</div><p>CHICAGO&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>W</span>ith Stanley Cup competition only a few faceoffs away, the Black Hawks possess one relatively new chap who may be particularly important during the playoff struggles.</p><p>That he-man would be Jerry Korab, a friendly but awesome fellow (6-3, at least 210 pounds). A look at his massive frame makes one feel, despite all that friendliness, that the only safe salutation is &ldquo;sir.&rdquo;</p><p>This 22-year-old still-growing lad is not intimidated. While Keith Magnuson, the Hawks&rsquo; bona fide second year cop. admits he&rsquo;s lost his share of fistic encounters, Korab tells you without resembling a braggadocio: &ldquo;No. I haven&rsquo;t lost any.&rdquo;</p><p>The Hawks have last Thanksgiving night to thank for the arrival of Korab. It was then that veteran Bill White banged his knee in a game at Boston, and Coach Billy Reay went hunting for defense help.</p><p>The phone call went to the Portland Buckaroos of the Western League, where Korab was ready and willing and keeping the other guys honest.</p><p>&ldquo;I guess,&rdquo; Korab confessed, &ldquo;that it&rsquo;s been my style to play rough.&rdquo;</p><p>In 1967-68 with St. Catherines of the OHA, Korab amassed 224 penalty minutes. The next winter. with the International League&rsquo;s Port Huron Flags, he collected 284. Last year, at Portland. it was 169.</p><p>After just over three months with the Hawks, his sin total was 120 minutes and counting.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s my job,&rdquo; Korab claims. &ldquo;Especially when you first come up. You know some people are going to test you, and that&rsquo;s the time to set the exemple of how you&rsquo;re going to play. But you don&rsquo;t go out there and just look for fights&mdash;you have to pick your spots.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I was hoping that I&rsquo;d be called up soon. There&rsquo;s quite a difference. though in the NHL even if you try to prepare yourself. They skate a lot quicker here, but the main difference for me has been how fast they move the puck. It really changes hands in no time.&rdquo;</p><p>Still, Reay was impressed when Korab joined the team, especially the way he played in the big games.</p><p>Korab admits to one bad habit&mdash;he gets caught up ice too much. He likes to carry the puck and has an excellent shot&mdash;hard and on target. But Reay doesn&rsquo;t like his rearguards wandering too much.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll have to work on it.&rdquo; Korab said. &ldquo;There really is no substitute for being up here and playing a while. You pick up things on your own. and all the guys on the team here are fantastic about helping you work on certain things.&rdquo;</p><p>Other &ldquo;things&rdquo; that Korab may be concentrating an are adding a little muscle to the Hawks&rsquo; playoff posture.</p><p><b>HAWKEY TALK:</b> Danny O&rsquo;Shea, the newest Hawk, tallied his first goal on Chicago&rsquo;s five-game road trip during which the team won three and tied two &hellip; Tony Esposito had started every game for a month since Feb. 6, when sidekick Gerry Desjardins was injured in a game at Minnesota&hellip; Pit Martin still battling painful ribs.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-01535/3207843-1-eng-US/f0018-012.jpg" title="f0018-01" width="655" height="646"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>JERRY KORAB&hellip; More Muscle For Hawks</b> <span class="photo-credit">(Hockey News Photo by Stephen Newman)</span></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

WELCOME TO FRIENDLY FINLAND!

<div class="byline">BY TERRY PYE</div><p>SUDBURY &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>U</span>niversity of Toronto Varsity Blues staged a dramatic third period comeback to down St. Mary&rsquo;s University Huskies of Halifax 5-4 and capture their third straight Canadian intercollegiate hockey championship last Saturday at the Sudbury Arena.</p><p>Behind 2-0 after the first and 3-1 after two, Tom Watt&rsquo;s Blue machine exploded for three goals in the first five minutes of the final stanza and were never behind thereafter. The winning marker came from the stick of Brian St. John with four minutes remaining to play, after Huskie goaler Chuck Goddard, brilliant up to then, gave the puck away to Terry Peterman in the corner, who centered it out to St. John.</p><p>Other Toronto scorers were Mac Hickox, Gord Davies, Bill Buba and Peterman. Tourney MVP Ron Hindson got two for the Haligonians, with Ken Martin and Ed Hebert getting singles. For Bob Boucher&rsquo;s Huskies, it was the second year in a row they&rsquo;ve lost a heartbreaker to the Blues in the CIAU Nationals, last year losing 3-2 in the last 14 seconds in Charlottetown.</p><p>Toronto had reached the finals by edging University of British Columbia Thunderbirds 3-2. St. Mary&rsquo;s had rallied the previous day to defeat hometown Lauren-tian University Voyageurs 4-2 after trailing by two goals in the early stages.</p><p>Comebacks were the order of the day as five of the six games saw the eventual winners behind after one period. Laurentian and UBC both trailed Loyola College Warriors of Montreal 3-1 before winning the matches 6-3 and 6-4. The Voyageurs won the consolation final with a 7-4 decision over UBC.</p><p>Named to the All-Tourney team were: goal &mdash; Chuck Goddard, St. Mary&rsquo;s; defense &mdash; Dave McDowall, Toronto, and Jack Moores, UBC; center &mdash; Ron Hindson, St. Mary&rsquo;s; left wing &mdash; Ed Taylor, Laurentian; right wing &mdash; Terry Peterman, Toronto. Goddard and Peterman were repeats from last year.</p><p>Toronto captain John Wright accepted the University Cup, symbolic of Canadian college ice supremacy, from CIAU President Maury Vanvliet.

HENRI RICHARD HOCKEY SCHOOL

<div class="byline">BY TOM BURKE</div><p>BOSTON &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>A</span> proposal to make freshmen eligible for varsity hockey competition in ECAC Division One was defeated 59-40 at the recent conference&rsquo;s annual convention in New York.</p><p>The convention approved of freshmen on the varsities of Division Two teams, classified as &ldquo;College Division&rdquo; as opposed to the &ldquo;University Division&rdquo; rating of ECAC Div. I members. That motion, effective August 1, passed 91-40.</p><p>The ECAC also adopted the NCAA ruling passed in Houston regarding Junior A hockey, players from Canada. Those who have played on any so-called &ldquo;Tier One&rdquo; teams, that is to say teams of the Ontario Hockey Association. The Western Canada Junior League, or the Quebec Major Junior A League, will be ineligible.</p><p>But the freshman ruling drew the most attention. The ECAC is divided into two camps on the eligibility question. Schools like Colgate, Boston University, and Northeastern favor freshmen on the varsity, while Boston College, Harvard, Brown and others typify those who prefer the retention of freshman hockey apart from the varsity.</p><p>The NCAA has had a rule for the past two years allowing freshmen on hockey varsities, which is the setup in the WCHA. The ECAC ruled at the time that its members must retain freshman hockey teams, but some members schools have been pushing for a change.</p><p>The arguments, pro and con, boil down to questions of money and uniformity versus participation and development of more players. If the rule were changed, proponents claim that it would cut down greatly the cost of running a hockey program. With no freshman team there would be fewer uniforms, less practice ice to rent, fewer trips and accompanying expenses, fewer coaches&rsquo; salaries, nearly an across-the-board reduction in operating costs.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-02271/3208161-1-eng-US/f0020-022.jpg" title="f0020-02" width="650" height="720"><figcaption class="caption-body"><p><b>COLLEGE HOCKEY SCENE</b></p><p><b>Starry MURRAY HEATLEY, left, of Wisconsin was among those selected on the all-WCHA All Star teams for this season.

ECAC Blocks Freshmen From Playing Division I

<div class="byline">By Tom Burke</div><p class="dropcap"><span>S</span>o endeth another season. 1970-71 was the best ever for Boston University (24-1-1 overall), the worst ever for Princeton (1-20), and had more than its share of unusual happenings.</p><p>As expected, St. Lawrence has named freshman coach Bernie McKinnon to succeed George Menard at the Larrie helm.</p><p>Army&rsquo;s 6-0 whitewash of Royal Military College in the final game tied goalie Dan Scioletti with Ron Chisholm for the career shutout mark for the Cadets. Both managed eight their time at West Point. The Wakefield, Mass. senior also had a string of 155 consecutive scoreless minutes.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-01360/3208192-1-eng-US/f0020-012.jpg" title="f0020-01" width="134" height="244"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 134px"><b>Bernie McKinnon</b></figcaption></div><p>Boston College missed the playoffs for the first time ever, posting an 11-15 overall mark. That gives Snooks Kelley 487 wins in 35 years of coaching the Eagles.</p><p>With BC out for the first time, only Clarkson has made the playoffs every year since their inauguration in the present format in 1960.</p><p>BU&rsquo;s best season prior to this one came in 196667 when they went 25-5-1. Cornell beat them out for the NCAA title with a 4-1 win at Syracuse, that year.</p><p>Power plays were a big factor in the Terriers&rsquo; success this season. They averaged two per game while yielding just 15 in 105 opportunities by the enemy. Oddly enough, BU did not have a home rink to practice in since strikes delayed the opening of their new arena. They practiced at Harvard&rsquo;s Watson Rink and played home games at Boston Arena.</p><p>New Hampshire, edged out of the playoffs by RPI in the last game of the schedule, set the all-time mark for goals scored, by a team. They netted 201, breaking BU&rsquo;s mark of 199 set back in &lsquo;66-67. The &lsquo;Cats were led by Louie Frigon, who totaled 38-48-86 on his way to eclipsing every individual scoring record at UNH.</p><p>Brown went undefeated (8-0-0) on Meehan Auditorium ice for the first time ever. Six of their nine Ivy League wins have been by one goal, and captain and inspirational leader Connie Schmidt has figured in five of those winning goals.</p><p>Penn will be without senior Sam Gellard as they hit Clarkson for the playoffs. He had a spleen operation and is out for good. Tom Davis, another member of Penn&rsquo;s potent senior line along with Tim Cutter, may miss the game with a gimpy knee.</p><p>&ldquo;That will handicap us if we miss those two,&rdquo; said-Jim Salfi. &ldquo;With them, we&rsquo;re the fastest team in the East and I wouldn&rsquo;t mind even going to play BU.&rdquo;</p><p>Northeastern ended up 7-22 on the season, first for coach Fernie Flaman. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve learned a lot this year,&rdquo; remarked the former Boston Bruin hardrock. &ldquo;Give us a few years and we&rsquo;ll be right up there.&rdquo;</p><p>Cornell&rsquo;s strong suit, which has become evident in the latter part of the schedule, is their ability to skate four lines. That should be a factor in the playoffs, especially for a &ldquo;money&rdquo; team like Cornell. Beating Harvard 3-1 and Brown 5-1 at the end of the year wrapped up Red&rsquo;s sixth Ivy League crown.</p><p>Dartmouth wound up Grant Standbrook&rsquo;s first season at the helm with a split in the Penn-Princeton southern swing and a 9-15 overall slate. But the Big Green were definitely better than their overall record indicates. After trailing Penn 2-1 into the last eight minutes they dropped a 6-1 decision. Soph goalie Peter Proulx had 42 saves.</p><p>Dave Hill and Mike Turner each scored twice in the season finale, a 4-3 win at Princeton. Senior Ken Davidson became the 17 th player in Dartmouth history to reach the 100 point plateau when in a tight 5-3 loss to Clarkson.</p><p>Dave Hynes and Dan DeMichele each had the hat in Harvard&rsquo;s final game of the season, an 11-2 rout of Yale in New Haven.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

<p>BRUNSWICK&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>C</span>oach Sid Watson&rsquo;s Bowdoin College varsity hockey team finished its regular season schedule at the top at the ECAC Division II standings for the third consecutive year.</p><p>Bowdoin&rsquo;s overall 1970-71 regular season record included 17 victories, four losses and one tie, with the Polar Bears scoring 115 goals and their opponents 54. Bowdoin&rsquo;s Division II record is 14-2-0, with Watson&rsquo;s club outscoring their combined opponents 99-34. The 34 goals given up by the Polar Bears to their 1970-71 Division II foes was the lowest total of goals allowed by any of the 28 Division II teams this season.</p><p>The squad&rsquo;s current total of 115 goals is only one away from the record 116 goals racked up by last year&rsquo;s Bowdoin team.</p><p>This year&rsquo;s team has already established a new record (312) for most points scored in a single season. The old record of 300 was set by Watson&rsquo;s 1969-70 squad.</p><p>The current team&rsquo;s total of 197 assists is also a Bowdoin single season record, bettering by 13 the mark established last year.</p><p>Co-Capt. Ed Good paced the individual record-breakers with a new Bowdoin mark of 112 for most points in a three-year varsity career. His total is four better than the record established in 1966-69 by Ken Martin. For the 1970-71 season to date, Good has 17 goals and 22 assists for a total of 39 points. That&rsquo;s only four points shy of the all-time Bowdoin record for most points in a single season (43), shared by Good and Martin. Good is also only two assists away from tieing the Bowdoin record (24) for most assists in a single season.</p><p>The Polar Bears&rsquo; other cocaptain. Bob Kullen of Milton, Mass., racked up 21 assists to break his own 1969-70 record of 17 for most assists in a single season by a defenseman.</p><p>Goalie Mike Talbot who has allowed only 21 goals in 12 games for a 1.75 average, could wind up with a new ECAC Division II goals-allowed record.

<div class="byline">By John Gilbert</div><p class="dropcap"><span>F</span>reshman Vic Venasky posted an eight-point weekend with four goals and four assists as Denver toppled Colorado College 6-4 and 7-6 in the final weekend of regular Western Collegiate Hockey Association P&gt;ay.</p><p>Those points vaulted Venasky from fourth place in WCHA scoring into first with 39 points, making the Thunder Bay. Ontario, rookie the first freshman ever to win the WCHA scoring title.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-03226/3208247-1-eng-US/f0020-032.jpg" title="f0020-03" width="149" height="238"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 149px"><b>Rob Murray</b></figcaption></div><p>That wound up a tight battle for scoring supremacy and snatched the crown away from Gilles Gagnon and Don Thompson of Michigan State and Walt Ledingham of Minnesota-Duluth. Ledingham had led most of the season, but got only two points on the final weekend to end up tied at 37 points with Bob Collyard of Colorado College and Thompson for third place.</p><p>Gagnon, who led the league in goals with 23, squeezed in at second with 38 points. Gagnon had scored five weekend points, as did Thompson, and it looked like a 1-2 MSU finish until Venasky did his thing.</p><p>Denver&rsquo;s sweep put the Pioneers in undisputed second place behind champion Michigan Tech, while Wisconsin could do no better than third, even though the Badgers bombarded North Dakota 12-1 and swept the series with a follow-up 4-2 decision on the final week. Wisconsin ended up 13-9 behind Denver&rsquo;s 15-7. Tech ran off with an 18-4 mark.</p><p>After Michigan State, which was fourth at 12-10 after a split against Michigan (8-7 overtime loss and 5-4 overtime win), came Minnesota. The Gophers made their biggest jump of the season by being idle the last week, moving from eighth to fifth as Colorado College, North Dakota and Minnesota-Duluth all dropped two-game sets and thumbled below Minnesota.</p><p>Duluth blew a 3-0 lead and lost 5-3 to Tech on a third-period spurt, then dropped the second game 6-2 to Tech to finish 10-14.</p><p>There are a few growls emanating from Duluth where the Bill Selman issue was brought up again. Selman was fired in the midst of last season, and when the controversy arose, UMD slumped in its last eight games to a 10-13-1 record.</p><p>New coach Terry Shercliffe took over the hot seat with athletic director Ralph Romano&rsquo;s blessing, but the Bulldogs failed to challenge for the title, although injuries were a factor. UMD wound up with 196 penalties for 500 minutes in WCHA play, while second-most-penalized Tech had only 168 penalties for 375 minutes. And when it was all over, Schercliffe&rsquo;s vear-older veteran team, wich lost only four players from Selman&rsquo;s season, wound up 10-14 &mdash; a half-game worse than the freshman team Selman got fired for.</p><p>The top WCHA goalie was Michigan Tech&rsquo;s Morris Trewin, who had a 2.5 goals-against average in 11 games, sharing duties with Bob Lee. Gary Engberg, a late-season replacement at Wisconsin, actually had the best (1.9) goals allowed mark, but played in only five games.</p><p>Trewin in goal, Tech&rsquo;s Rob Murray and Denver&rsquo;s Mike Christie on defense; Colorado&rsquo;s Bob Collyard, Michigan State&rsquo;s Thompson and Duluth&rsquo;s Ledingham at forwards. Murray was most valuable, Tech coach John Maclnnes coach of the year, and Tech&rsquo;s Mike Usitalo most outstanding freshman.</p><p>Venasky &mdash; who would have been a cinch first-team pick a week later &mdash; was joined by Murray Heatley of Wisconsin and Usitalo as second-team forwards with Wally Olds of Minnesota and John Jagger of Wisconsin second-unit defense and Glenn Resch of Duluth second goalie.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

THE PLACE TO PLAY HOCKEY

<div class="byline">BY HANS TANNER</div><p>ROCHESTER&mdash;</p><p>Don Westbrooke figuratively fires bullets with his hockey stick &hellip; and he once literally stopped part of a bullet with his shoulder.</p><p>The recently-acquired Rochester American (obtained in a February American Hockey League trade with Springfield for Red Armstrong) credits a card game with saving his life.</p><p>&ldquo;It happened a couple of years ago when I was with Dayton in the International League,&rdquo; he recalls. &ldquo;We were coming back from Port Huron on our way to Dayton and were outside of Toledo.</p><p>&ldquo;Some of us were playing cards in the middle of the bus and all of a sudden there was this loud bang. I&rsquo;d been smoking a cigar and thought the boys had done something to it. But I looked in the ashtray and it was all right. Then I noticed blood on my left arm and that my shirt was torn.</p><p>&ldquo;We didn&rsquo;t know what had happened until we saw a hole in the window about the size of a quarter. Part of the bullet was laying on my shirt, part was on the inside seat and the big part went right through the middle of the back of the aisle seat where I was sitting. I had been leaning forward dealing, so it just grazed my elbow. If I&rsquo;d been sitting back &hellip;well&hellip;&rdquo;</p><p>Police later arrested a man for shooting at traffc from a bridge.</p><p>Westbrooke was shook up by the affair, of course, but the next night &ldquo;recovered&rdquo; with a three-goal hat trick and three assists.</p><p>The thin right wing, who turned 28 just two hours after the trade to Rochester was announced the night of Feb. 20, has been taking a regular turn on a line with hot Ron Ward and an assortment of left wings.</p><p>His best night for the Amerks to this point was here Friday, March 5, against Providence in a game which didn&rsquo;t end until 12:15 Saturday morning.</p><p>Providence carried a 1-0 lead into the final 12 minutes of the game. Then Jack Stanfield, playing in his first game in a month, centered from behind the net to Westbrooke and he zinged it past Marcel Paille at 8:50. It stayed that way until another Westbrooke bid was tipped past Paille for the winner by Danny Seguin with only 1:28 remaining.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0021-0579/3208330-1-eng-US/f0021-052.jpg" title="f0021-05" width="307" height="319"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>DON WESTBROOKE&hellip;Sets Up Victory</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Westbrooke Trade Pays Off

<div class="byline">BY BOB ELMER</div><p>BALTIMORE&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>A</span>round high noon recently, the Western Division leading Clippers boarded their special Baltimore Motor Coach bus for a trip to Cleveland, and another big confrontation with the Barons, who have been chasing them all winter in this year&rsquo;s AHL pennant race.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0022-01235/3208444-1-eng-US/f0022-012.jpg" title="f0022-01" width="147" height="239"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 147px"><b>Marc Dufour</b></figcaption></div><p>Not long after the bus departed the Baltimore scene, Marc Dufour, leading scorer in the league for most of the season, and the Clippers&rsquo; No. 1 gun, limped into the hockey club&rsquo;s downtown office on the third floor of the Civic Center, following another visit with the team&rsquo;s peppery physician Dr. Ross Pierpont, over his injured knee.</p><p>At about the same hour, promising rookie defenseman Jim Niekamp was on his way back to Detroit, where he will play out the remainder of the campaign with the people who own his contract, the Detroit Red Wings.</p><p>The absence of both Dufour and Niekamp was hardly cause for celebration among Coach Terry Reardon and his title bound crew as they faced the prospect of five games on the road in their next six starts. And besides, the previous four encounters were nothing to write home about as the Clippers followed up an eight game winning streak by going winless in the next four with two ties and a pair of defeats.</p><p>That Dufour and Niekamp will be missed is obvious. The former, a Reardon reclamation project from the reverse draft last summer at $15,000. is one of the reasons why the club has been in first place all winter. At the time of his injury in the March 2 game here with Providence when he collided with the Reds burly defenseman. Bill Speer, &ldquo;Dufie&rdquo; had collected 71 points in 56 games with 28 goals and 43 assists. He has been running neck-and-neck with teammate Fred Speck for the league&rsquo;s scoring leadership as well as the team&rsquo;s top point producer.</p><p>While Dufour is expected back within a week or two, such is not the case with Niekamp. This fine American born defensive prospect has been permanently recalled by Detroit. At the time of his departure here, the 6-foot, 190 pound backliner had scored 38 points in 46 starts with 9 goals and 29 assists.</p><p>On the brighter side, the Red Wings returned the idefatigable center Rick McCann, who had been with the NHL club for a three-game, weekend series. Playing on what Reardon calls his checking line with Tony Goe-gan and Dave Ferguson, the personable McCann showed 16 goals and 17 assists for 33 points in 47 games.</p><p><b>CLIPPER CLIPS:</b> Home attendance is 173,972 with seven more to go &hellip; Last year&rsquo;s total for all 36 games was 161,593 &hellip; Wayne &ldquo;Mooner&rdquo; Rivers leads team in goals scored with 31, while Fred Speck tops the assists column with 47 &hellip; Larry Johnston&rsquo;s 165 penalty minutes is four shy of Bob Plager&rsquo;s club mark of 169 set in 1966-67 &hellip; Jim West, who broadcast all Clipper games on radio for eight years but left this winter to handle the Chicago Black Hawks play-by-play on TV, is leaving Baltimore altogether &hellip; The popular announcer has joined the Chicago Cubs&rsquo; baseball broadcast team for the season.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

BOWLING GREEN HOCKEY SCHOOL

<div class="byline">BY JOHN TRAVERS</div><p>HERSHEY&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>L</span>ately some National League scouts have been trailing the Hershey Bears around the American League circuit. It&rsquo;s the opinion of some observers center Bob Leiter and defenseman Darryl Edestrand may be among those the major leaguers are screening.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0022-02167/3208475-1-eng-US/f0022-022.jpg" title="f0022-02" width="154" height="241"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Darryl Edestrand</b></figcaption></div><p>The 29-year-old Leiter, who had three different stands with the Boston Bruins during his career, was pacing the Bears&rsquo; scorers and goal snipers at the 59 game mark.</p><p>Leiter, who was sold to Hershey in 1968 by the Bruins, had scored 25 goals, just one less than his previous AHL high of 26. garnered two years ago when the club won the Calder Cup. He had 26 assists to his credit for 51 points.</p><p>For several years the clever skating Winnipeg product was hampered by injury or illness. Without question, the setbacks hurt his chances of sticking in the big time.</p><p>This season he&rsquo;s been free of injury and his play has projected him into a possible shot at an All Star berth and maybe another crack at the NHL.</p><p>Despite the fact he&rsquo;s played with different wing combinations this campaign Leiter has not faltered in his near point-a-game scoring clip.</p><p>His hottest stretch came when &lsquo;coach Frank Mathers formed the line of rookie winger. Ross Webley and Jean Gratton to flank Leiter. In a 17 game stretch, Leiter notched 10 goals and a like number of assists, while his wingmen combined for 12 goals and 17 assists. The line racked up an incredible 49 points in the short span before Webley was sidelined with a leg injury.</p><p>Edestrand came to Hershey this season in a deal that saw defenseman Barry Ashbee traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. Ashbee long deserved a chance in the NHL. Forward Larry McKillop also was acquired by the Bears in the transaction.</p><p>Edestrand, a rugged, fine skating offensive-minded blueliner, who previously saw duty with the Rochester Americans and Quebec Aces, has been a bulwark on the club&rsquo;s picket line.</p><p>The 25-year-old defenseman had five goals and 22 assists at the 59-game mark, and also stood No. 1 in goals for and goals against among the blueliners when the Bears launched the closing half of the season.</p><p>Both Edestrand and Ralph Keller have been running a neck-and-neck race for the leading scorer among the defensemen. Keller, having another good year, presently is top man with 12 goals and 18 assists in 58 games.</p><p>Edestrand has the physical size and strength to play in the NHL. The Strathroy. Ont., native is a solid 5-11, 180 who also is among the league&rsquo;s all-star candidates, despite playing for a third place club.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Bird Dogs Following Bears’ Duo

<div class="byline">BY CHUCK SANTANIELLO</div><p>SPRINGFIELD&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>I</span>t&rsquo;s do or die for the Springfield Kings as Coach John Wilson plans to go down fighting with all his guns blazing. He is spending plenty of time in his office working on trades and it is making headway.</p><p>The end of February saw Wilson deal Don West-brooke to the Rochester Americans for the Amerks&rsquo; Norm (Red) Armstrong and that is a move which helped the team. Red, who is 29, was not figuring in the Amerks&rsquo; plans since they were going with a younger club.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0023-01212/3208687-1-eng-US/f0023-012.jpg" title="f0023-01" width="141" height="239"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 141px"><b>Bill Orban</b></figcaption></div><p>Very aggressive and a tough forward, Armstrong has helped the club get more muscle and punch up front in the corners where it needed it badly. As he obtains badly needed game work, Red will continue to do an even better job with the Springfield team.</p><p>Westbrooke was a top scorer in the International League with Dayton last winter and was playing well. But the Kings were in a position that to obtain new faces, they were going to have to give something up. Armstrong&rsquo;s coming here is a major improvement.</p><p>Wilson also managed to swing a deal with the Cleveland Barons. He sent Terry Holbrook, a first year pro, and defenseman Roger Cote, to the Barons for Wayne Schultz, a 29-vear-old five-year pro with the club and Bill Orban another old pro and an ex-National Leaguer with Chicago and Minnesota. The Kings also get the rights to Steve Sutherland, who is now with the Port Huron club in the International League.</p><p>Sutherland will come here for a five-game trial after the IHL season ends if the Kings make the AHL playoffs. Schultz had been having a poor season with the Barons playing in only 25 games. He broke his shoulder early in the season and it has been tough for him to get back into the lineup.</p><p>Schultz and Orban will also give the club more power up front as well as scoring power and experience. That&rsquo;s the key to Wilson&rsquo;s trades. He likes experience on his club as it drives for the playoffs. Now if he could come up with a good, veteran backliner, the Kings would have it made.</p><p>&ldquo;We have been working hard to correct mistakes in practice,&rdquo; Wilson said. &ldquo;We drill and drill on mistakes, going over them. The kids seem to have it down pat and their mistakes corrected. Then when the game comes sometimes the kids forget everything, and make mistakes which cost us heavily</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s the main reason,&rdquo; he went on, &ldquo;why I have been trying to bring in some experience, some veterans. We need that take charge guy on the ice who can pick up the team and carry it along. The kids do not seem to be able to do it. The games get toughest right around playoff time. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve gone to trading for veterans.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>
