Sanderson Ready To Start Paying Big WHA Money Back
PHILADELPHIA— Derek Sanderson has taken a lot of the Blazers’ money, and now he’d like to help pay some of it back. Sanderson, a classy center, knows the best way would be to help the Blazers play exciting hockey, therefore filling every one of the 9,200 seats at newly refurbished Civic Center. “We’re going to have a robust, fighting team,” predicts Turk. ‘We’ve got nine very solid forwards…we’ve got the best goaltender in the league (Bernie Parent)…We’ve got one super defenseman in Ron Plumb.” Sanderson apparently has forgotten his Boston Bruins’ days in a hurry, especially with reference the Parent, since Gerry Cheevers is also now in the WHA with the Cleveland Crusaders.

Hull Has Own Coaching Plan As Jets Fly In League Debut
WINNIPEG— The World Hockey Association gave Bobby Hull $2 million primarily to score goals. But Hull was also hired to coach Winnipeg Jets of the WHA’s Western Division and he has been taking the bench role seriously. Hull is thankful for the opportunity to implement his own particular coaching philosophy. And he has some rather definite ideas about coaching, something he’s never done before. “I want guys to think as a unit on the ice…like the Russians,” says Hull. “Everything comes easier that way, if wingers come all the way back to get their checks and everybody starts the attack as a unit. “You can’t throw three goalscorers on one line, either—unless they’re all super stars—and really make a good line.
