Ducks Land Foursome From WHA Raiders After Deal
NEW YORK— Executive Director Dave Fortgang worked long into the night to revise the 1972-73 Eastern Hockey League schedule in order to take up the slack caused by the suspension of the New England Blades and as the result, all home games will be preserved. With the exception of the Johnstown home date of December 2, which was rescheduled with Syracuse, but not played, all home dates will stand. In a couple of cases games may have to be switched from one date to another, but even this happens only twice. All teams will still play an equal number of games, and the qualifications for making the playoffs will remain the same. In all, eight teams will qualify for the playoffs, with the first two teams in each division qualifying and the two third…

Hubs May Co Xmas Shopping For Top NHL Center
MONTREAL— While other people throng to department stores looking for gifts for the kids and ties for Uncle Charlie, Sammy Pollock, the Sage of St. Catherine Street, may be looking for Xmas specials among rival NHL teams. Habs, whose strength down the middle was legendary during their many big years atop the league standings, have begun to look like a disaster area at the center-ice position. “Outside of Jacques Lemaire,” says coach Scotty Bowman, “we haven’t been getting too much in the way of scoring, or consistently good playing, from our center-ice guys.” Lemaire was the NHL’s goalscoring leader with 21 to his credit after 25 games. But, beyond him, the pickings were slim. Pete Mahovlich had six goals, Rejean Houle three, and Henri Richard none after 23 contests. Any number of prospects, including Frank…
