Reay Vows Not To Break Up Hawks But Trade Possible Before Draft
CHICAGO— The story you are about to read is not reprinted from last year’s editions of THE HOCKEY NEWS. It only seems that way. The Chicago’ Black Hawks, you see. are once again in quest of some reinforcements at two places where they have long sought assistance: left wing and center ice. “Naturally, we are always looking for a deal that will help our club,” said coach Billy Reay, in a quotation that is reprinted from last year’s editions. “But it’s not as easy as you think, and besides, we’re in no way interested in breaking up this club. “We lost only 14 games this season, which was the best figure in the league, plus we finished with 105 points, which was the second most in the history of the Black Hawks.

Hornets Transferred To Lansing As 11th IHL Team
DETROIT — Permission to move the Toledo Hornets to Lansing has assured the International Hockey League of having record 11 teams for the 1974-75 season. Toledo will remain in the HL as the result of a new group taking over the city’s hockey representation. Paul Bright, who operated the Toledo franchise for three seasons, previously had announced he would not operate in Toledo next season.
