Worsley, Prentice Not Expected To Complete Year With North Stars
TWIN CITIES— Determined not to give up on this National Hockey League season even though it is nearing the halfway mark, the management of the Minnesota North Stars continues to do some major shuffling of personnel. General manager Wren Blair called up goalie Fern Rivard from New Haven of the American Hockey League, the North Stars’ top farm, and forward Gary Gambucci, who had been on loan to Portland of the Western League. Given a one-way ticket to New Haven was forward Rod Norrish. Minnesota’s No. 1 pick in the 1971 draft and still considered a high-quality prospect. Norrish had two goals in nine games with the North Stars. To continue the theme of change, you might wish to speculate over the futures of veterans Gump Worsley and Dean Prentice. There is a very…

SUSANNE MALONEY TYPICAL HOCKEY WIFE—SHE LIVES AND WORRIES AT EVERY GAME
LOS ANGELES — Susanne Maloney screamed. “Cmon, Danny” every time Dan Maloney skated on ice. He is a “bad guy” on ice. She says he is not bad off the ice. She is not bad at all. She is a pretty girl. She is a blonde with extremely short hair. She says she does not like long hair. Dan does not wear his hair as long as most players do these days, but it still is not as short as hers. She has pale greyish blue eyes that are arresting. She was wearing a wine and green sweater-and-skirt outfit and she was swinging her arms at the action on the ice and she jumped up and let out a happy holler when the Los Angeles Kings scored in the first period…
Milford Hoping Williams’ Speed Pays Off
LOS ANGELES — At 57, Jake Milford says, “I didn’t want the aggravation, but now that I’m stuck with it I’m going to bust my butt to do a job.” Hired as assistant general manager to Larry Regan this season, the long-time minor league manager was disappointed to find himself selling tickets instead of doing hockey business. Then in December he was flown out to help out coach Bob Pulford on a road trip, then brought back to fill in for Regan, who resigned and went scouting to finish out the season. Milford’s title hasn’t changed and he is well aware owner Jack Kent Cooke still will make the big decisions, but Jake hopes to make the most of the little decisions. He insists he won’t be a “yes man”, but it…
