Ex-Bruin Speer Solid Addition To Reds
PROVIDENCE— In the late stages of the 1970-71 American Hockey League season, the Providence Reds were locked in a life and death struggle for the Eastern Division pennant.

Picard had gone hunting on a Sunday off, and he and a group of friends had bagged two deer in…
