Clippers Drill At Hershey, Fate Bears In Four Carnes
BALTIMORE— Pre-season training for the 1972-73 edition of Baltimore’s defending American Hockey League Western Division Champion Clippers will again transpire in the Hershey Arena when General Manager Terry Reardon assembles his hopefuls on Monday Sept. 18. They will then have just five days in which to prepare for the first of four exhibition games against the Bears which Reardon and his Hershey counterpart, GM Frank Mathers, have arranged. The pre-season slate so far is as follows: Friday, Sept. 22, Hershey at Civic Center; Saturday, Sept. 23, at Hershey; Friday, Sept. 29, Hershey at Civic Center; Saturday, Sept. 30, at Hershey. In addition to these four games, Reardon is hoping to book one or two more prior to the Clippers official season’s opener in Springfield on Friday, Oct. 6. Last year’s pennant winning Clippers enjoyed…
Youth Takeover To Dominate New Camp
MONTREAL— For the first time in nearly a dozen years, Canadiens will hold a training camp away from Montreal and, according to coach Scotty Bowman, the accent will be on youth as perhaps never before. Kentville, Nova Scotia, a location some 60 miles from Halifax, is the chosen site of the camp which gets underway on Sept. 14 and runs for some 23 days. “There were several reasons for training in Nova Scotia,” said Bowman. “The shortness of time we’ll actually have to train, coupled with the fact that our first exhibition is in Halifax on Sept 19 only five days after camp starts, were some of the factors. A lot of young players have been invited to camp, too, and some of them are going to wind up with the Voyageurs who…

Blazers Pay Out For Sanderson, WHA Crabs 53 From NHL Teams
BOSTON— With 53 National Hockey League players under contract and an overall total of 247 skaters in the fold, the new World Hockey Association sat back and anxiously awaited the start of training camps and the outcome of suits and counter suits between the warring WHA and NHL. The WHA continued its relentless signing efforts grabbing players at every opportunity and level with astonishing hockey contracts that bordered on the incredulous. Latest WHA signees included such National Leaguers as Derek Sanderson, Gerry Pinder, Wayne Carleton, Al Smith, Ted Hampson, Ab McDonald, Ron Anderson and Chris Bordeleau. Sanderson, high on the WHA’s recruiting list since the league was formed last November, signed a contract estimated at $2,625,000 for a period of between ‘five and 15 years’ with the Philadelphia Blazers. The colorful 26-year-old Sanderson, who has…
