WCHL Prepares For Lesson In Humility By Team Canada 74
CALGARY— The Western Canada Hockey League has always had an amazing appetite for the unexplored. But this time, league officials may have swallowed an indigestible chunk. It has generally been conceded the WCHL is in a class by itself, when it comes to Junior operations… in all due respect to its Canadian Major Junior hockey brethren in eastern Canada. It’s usually WCHL officials who lead with their tongues, but this time it seems they have have led with their chins. In denfese of their increasingly insecure position amidst the cut-throat world of the professionals, the Junior game has become more and more professional every season.

That count came in the high-scoring Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, but it is impressive in any event.
