Kehoe’s Ice Play Adds Ray Of Hope To Leaf’s Future Toronto
TORONTO— Out of what has to be considered as the most dismal season for Toronto Maple Leafs in recent years, comes what has to be considered one of the brightest prospects for the faltering NHL club. Sophomore Rick Kehoe, coming off an eight-gool output in his rookie year, leads the Leafs with 26 goals and currently occupies a spot in the top 25 National Hockey League scorers. The 21 year old rightwinger, along with third year man Darryl Sittier, have accounted for a large part of the Leafs output despite the fact that Toronto is all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. But while Kehoe alone cannot put the Leafs into Stanley Cup contention, his youth along with that of a large number of his teammates, will become a force to be reckoned with…
O’Shea Raises Spurs Playoff Hopes In WHL
DENVER— At 5-10, Norm Dennis is at least as tall as half the centers in the Western Hockey League. But when he takes the ice for the Denver Spurs, he looks like a mid-get. The 30-year-old veteran is dwarfed by his wingers. Mike Lampman and Kevin O’Shea both stand 6-2. Coach John Choyce is counting on the trio to carry the Spurs’ scoring in the stretch run to a playoff spot. The Spurs already have what they call the Hot Line of Murray Keogan, Don Borgeson and Jack Borotsik. O’Shea has nine goals and six assists for 15 points since joining the club. He scored a hat trick in a 6-5 loss at Phoenix, had six goals and three assists in a three-game stretch and in a five-game period, collected 13 points, eight on goals. In…
Hogaboam Proving Big Catch For AHL’s Virginia Ped Wings
NORFOLK — “Hogie was the leader of the top line in Omaha last season,” reports Brian Watts. “Whenever we played them last year, Bob Lemieux always told us to keep his line from scoring and we’d be okay.” Coach Lemieux’s advice to his Fort Worth Wings proved to be sound. Last season while playing with Omaha, Bill Hogaboam accounted for 30 goals and 52 assists for 82 points and ended the year as the sixth highest scorer in the Central Hockey League. Up until this season, Omaha was the top affiliate of the New York Rangers and was stocked with the Rangers’ top prospects. Hogaboam was included in this category until the Rangers made an off-season trade this summer for Billy Heindl with the new National Hockey League entry, Atlanta Flames. A good training…
