Jets’ Rookie Star Campigotto Scores With Stick And Fists
JOHNSTOWN— Rookies in the Eastern Hockey League normally feel their way through their first campaign without getting involved in rhubarbs, but tyro Vern Campigotto of the Johnstown Jets has been forced to forget that philosophy. Campigotto a normally quiet individual, has been a pleasant surprise to coach Eddie Kachur all year long as he has been a steady contributor to the club’s scoring production. In fact he has been coming along stronger in the latter stages of the season as he became more confident of his abilities to hold his own against the EHL adversaries. At last count he was the team’s fourth best scorer with only vets Gene Peacosh, Dick Roberge and Guy Delparte in front of him. His play had impressed many to merit consideration for Northern rookie of the year…
Stingy Man In The Hawks’ Nets
CHICAGO— Tony Esposito, the stingy guardian of the Chicago twine, was doing his thing again as the month of January closed. The man they say has the vulnerable unorthodox style, the man who flops too much, the man you can beat with high shots. This was the man who completed the first month of 1972 with a gaudy goals-against mark of 1.90 in 30 games. Tony-0, as Black Hawk buffs label him. authored a particularly parsimonious streak when he kept the Chicago cage sacrosanct for more than three hours in his Chicago Stadium starts at the end of January. He blanked California 2-0 on Jan. 19th, blanked Toronto 4-0 on Jan. 23rd. and blanked Vancouver 4-0 on Jan. 27th. Add to that 5:13 of shutout hockey in Esposito’s start previous to the Seals’ game—a…

Oliver Gets 600th Point
TWIN CITIES— Murray Oliver picked an appropriate time and place to observe the most significant milestone of his National Hockey League career. Oliver recorded his 600th NHL point by scoring a power play goal in the third period to give the Minnesota North Stars a 1-1 tie in a nationally televised Sunday matinee with the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. It came less than a week after the NHL All-Star game, a game in which Oliver was left off the West Division team despite leading the North Stars in scoring. The writers didn’t name him among the top two West centers, and coach Billy Reay overlooked him in making his additional selections to the West team. “I didn’t realize that was my 600th point,” Oliver said, “or I would have gone in and saved…
