Roanoke Shuns Favorite Role But Rebels To Be Contenders; Twins Get Five WHA Oilers
ROANOKE— “Don’t make Its the favorite.” pleaded Colin Kilburn, general manager of the Roanoke Valley Rebels as opening day — Oct. 12 — neared for the new professional Southern Hockey League. “Sure, we re optimistic.” he added. “(Coach Gregg) Pilling is pleased with our camp. But every day we’re hearing another report from another camp about how strong this and that SHL team’s gonna be.” “We’re shooting to be a tough contender.” noted Pilling, who guided the Rebels to the defunct Eastern League’s Southern Division title a year ago as a rookie coach. Pilling worked with the Rebels’ parent club, the Vancouver Blazers of the World Hockey Association, until bringing his own club to Virginia for their camp. The Rebels train in the Salem-Roanoke Valley Civic Center, where they also play some of their…
Wings’ Record Has Garvin Worrying
DETROIT— The exhibition season is for looking at new players, getting in shape for when the games really count. Once the season begins, who remembers exhibition scores? Those all are truisms but it’s still nice to win, regular season or exhibition, and it’s even nicer when you’re a brand new coach in the big time. The exhibition i season for Ted Garvin. new coach of the Detroit Red Wings, wasn’t one of smiles. Detroit won its first game, against St. Louis, and then lost five in a row against NHL opposition. What’s more, the Red Wings looked bad in most of them. Every coach wants an agressive team but saying it and producing it are two different things and try as he would, Garvin didn’t have the Wings looking like agressors. General Manager Ned Harkness’…

Injuries Hit Sabres But Rookie Hopefuls Unable To Fill Spots
BUFFALO— Joe Crozier, whose Buttalo Sabres got through last season with no serious injuries in his first lull term as their coach, is learning early that this situation will’ not always prevail. Before the exhibition season was completed Joe had lost two regular forwards. Larry Mickey had a broken leg and Craig Ramsay a ruptured disc in his back. Both were lost indefinitely. This was quite a blow to the club, although neither was a high scorer. Ramsay and Mickey were the wingers on the Don Luce-centered checking line which did so well against Montreal in the playoffs after standing out in the stretch drive that secured fourth place in the National Hockey League’s East Division for the Sabres. “Ramsay and Mickey aren’t spectacular players,” Crozier pointed out. “But you always can count…
