Stars ‘Lofty NHL Position Credit To Blair’s Dealing
TWIN CITIES— A lot of bouquets have been handed out to a number of people for Minnesota’s high-speed getaway to this National Hockey League season. Jack Cordon has been credited with an outstanding coaching job, and deservedly so. The goaltending, the strong defensive work and the all around play of the forwards have come in for their share of tributes, and everyone involved has earned them. But there has been another source for the success of the North Stars, a source that has not always received its just credit. That would be general manager Wren Blair, and when you mention Blair, you must also include his staff of scouts and advisors. Wren is a prominent and popular figure in the Minnesota hockey community, but over the years he has encountered more than his…

Six-Team Race Puts New Life In Fight For Playoff Spots
ST. CATHARINES— The rich got richer and the poor got poorer as the Ontario Hockey Association Major Junior A schedule reached the one-quarter mark. The league-leading Oshawa Generals added a single point in their only game—a 3-3 tie with Peterborough but there was little breathing space between Kitchener and Niagara Falls, Peterborough, Ottawa, Toronto and London. St. Catharines, Hamilton and Montreal still found difficulty adding to their points totals. The Black Hawks struck their worst slump in years, losing seven straight games while Hamilton’s only points came at the expense of last place Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens have still not reached anything resembling their form of previous years and after 13 games had only three points on one win and a tie. The Canadiens have still not reached anything resembling their form of previous years and…
