INSIDE HOCKEY
New NHL Look • With 10 of the 14 National Hockey League governors already in agreement that four four-team divisions is the best way of handling the NHL’s third expansion program, it is pretty certain the format will go through.

NHL trainers who attended included: Ken Carson (Pittsburgh), Barry Keast (California), Lefty Wilson (Detroit), Skip Thayer (Chicago), Frank Lewis (Philadelphia), Joe Sgro (Toronto Maple Leafs), Norm Mackie (Los Angeles), Bill Gray (Vancouver), Frank Christie (Buffalo), Frank Paice (New York),, and Stan Waylett (Minnesota).
