Brooks, Sims Rate Rookie Consideration
BOSTON— The Boston Bruins have two solid contenders for rookie of the year, although not much noise has been made about them yet. They are goaler Ross Brooks and defenseman AI Sims. The 36-year-old Brooks, who only had 16 games in the N H L last year after a long career in the minors, was hot after the record of consecutive wins for a goalkeeper.
