Hometown Star Turcotte Named To Coach Lansing
LANSING — It’s hoped that the lure of a hometown star and first-time play-for-pay hockey will get the Lansing Lancers off to a successful start in the International Hockey League. Real Turcotte, a former star at Michigan State University, has been hired as coach by owner Paul Bright. Turcotte. 33, was a 1963 grad of MSU and set the one-season scoring record of 43 points in 22 games. He’s been working at the Metro Ice Arena — the Lancers’ new home — and has been a part-time teacher in mathematics and physiology at Lansing Sexton High School. He’s a native of Quebec and once played for the Montreal Junior Canadiens. Among his teammates were Bobby Rousseau, J.C. Tremblay and Jacques Laperriere. Because he was smaller than players wooed by National J. Jockey League teams,…
Hockey Ad Lib
Alive And Kicking… MIKE HAGGERTY, the enterprising young publicist of the Chicago Cougars, was on the telephone to tell me about his team having all but stolen a prize prospect from the mighty Montreal Canadiens, one Gary MacGregor, the only 100-goal scorer in all of hockey last season. That count came in the high-scoring Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, but it is impressive in any event. However, the most impressive thing about MacGregor was that he chose the Cougars over the Canadiens. Instead of more money. Montreal offered MacGregor the honor of playing for the most famous team in the greatest league in hockey. There was a time when that would have been too much temptation for a Canadian lad to resist, but that time has passed. Chicago offered more cash…
Stars Banking On Super Scorer To Lift Team
TWIN CITIES— Goldy. you’ve come a long way, baby. That old television commercial (before cigarette advertising was banned on the air waves) applies perfectly to the golden-haired right winger of the Minnesota North Stars. Bill Goldsworthy. Goldy will be going into his eighth National Hockey League season next month with a new contract that could earn him $200,000 per year if he makes the bonus incentives in his five-year arrangement. When he signed his first contract with the North Stars in the expansion season of 1967, Goldy earned $10,700. But he’s come a lot further than drawing his paycheck. When the North Stars open training camp this month, he will be wearing the big “C” on his sweater. General manager-coach Jack Gordon designated Goldy to serve in that capacity when re renegotiated a new contract…
NAHL Hits Brawlers
SYRACUSE — The North American Hockey League leaders concluded their August meetings confident that the rules they adopted would make for a more exciting game. The NAHL adopted the World Hockey Association rule book and made a few additions of their own. One new rule has the first man off the bench in a bench-clearing brawl receiving an automatic game misconduct. The league also adopted some new rules to help speed up the game. Under the new rules, a penalized player must proceed directly to the penalty boxes without hesitation. If not, he receives a 10-minute misconduct. Another new rule permits linesmen to drop a puck on face-offs whenever he wishes after both centers have been warned about stalling. The league also decided that 19 players can be kept on the active rosters, with 15…
