DOWN EAST
For the first time since 1950, Boston sent two of its college hockey teams to the NCAA Championship Tournament. ECAC Division One playoff king Harvard and consolation game winner Boston University represented the East in Syracuse. Back in ’50, BU finished runner-up to Colorado College while BC, the other Hub representative, finished out of the money. Harvard stunned the 14,994 fans in the Boston Garden who had expected a BU-Cornell championship game. The Crimson knocked off BU (25-1-1) to the tune of 4-2 the first night in a flawless, penalty-free team triumph. The following night Harvard came from a 4-2 deficit to bounce Clarkson 7-4 in the championship final, paced by sophomore Dave Hynes’ hat trick. Clarkson outshustled and outmuscled Cornell 41 the first round. The Golden Knights spotted Big Red a…
Injured Leafs Need Rest Says Undismayed McLellan
TORONTO— Norm Ullman and Dave Keon the teams top scorers, dropped out of the Toronto Maple Leaf line-up with hand injuries suffered in the same win over Montreal Canadiens. “But,” coach John McLellan commented at the time, “this may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. A little rest going into the playoffs won’t hurt them at all.” The main reason for McLellans’ complete lack of panic was that the injuries coincided with a Detroit Red Wing loss that assured Leafs of fourth place in the East Division. “It’s ironical, though,” continued the coach, “I just was saying on the radio the other day that I didn’t know’ what we would do without those two.” McLellan quickly found out, because Leafs dropped their next two games, to Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers.

Bomber Ace Chuck Arnason Top WCHL Scorer, Loop MVP
EDMONTON— In a season dominated by outstanding individual goal scorers, one name stood above the rest in the Western Canada League in 1970-71. The name: Chuck Arnason. The brilliant young Flin Flon Bomber forward picked the perfect year to blossom into superstar status: this is his draft year, and NHL scouts are watching closely. Arnason was a year-long spark behind the Bombers, winding up as the WCHL’s leading goalgetter. The performance earns him THE HOCKEY NEWS’ selection as most valuable player in the swift Western junior league. Our choice as top defenseman is another draft age player, Ron Jones of the Edmonton Oil Kings. Jones will never be as spectacular as, say, Bobby Orr, but he is both solid and steady defensively and claims a shot from the point that can do damage. Perhaps the easiest…
