Boston U.—Harvard Rumble Turned Into Crimson Show
It was only December tenth, and already the prognosticators were labeling the Boston University-Harvard hockey game at Harvard’s Watson Rink the December Beanpot Final, the ECAC Championship preview, and a peek at the NCAA title game. The feature show between the pre-season kingpin and poll runnerup turned almost into a short subject. Harvard swamped favored Boston University 7-2 behind sophomore Dave Bell’s three goals to assume the early lead at the top of ECAC Division One’s race. The Crimson footnoted their concincing triumph over the Terriers with a 5-3 decision at Brown the following Saturday, setting a breakneck early season pace with five wins and no losses as the majority of the East’s sextets adjourned pre-Christmas exam break. The Terriers, who just didn’t have their usual zip at Watson, were hurt by the…
Stormy Days Replaced By Calm in Montreal
MONTREAL— A year. 365 days. 8,766 hours. Doesn’t sound like much time, but you can bet your season’s tickets it is. Was it really only a year ago that the Montreal Canadiens were battling for second place behind the Boston Bruins and falling further behind with each games? Was it only a year ago that the Canadiens were the possessors of a miserable 6-5-1 home record? Was it only a year ago that the Canadiens were leading the National Hockey League in controversy with at least three players making public their distaste for coach Scotty Bowman? Somehow it doesn’t seem possible that those dark and stormy days occurred only one year ago, certainly not with the calm that has descended on Montreal this year. As the Canadiens head into the Christmas season this year…
Scouts See Trade As Upward Step
LOUISVILLE SLUGGER HOCKEY STICKS Made in Canada by HILLERICH & BRADSBY. LTD. Arnold Street. Wallaceburg. Ontario Sold in U.S. and Canada LOUISVILLE SLUGGER HOCKEY STICKS Made in Canada by HILLERICH & BRADSBY. LTD Arnold Street. Wallaceburg. Ontario Sold in U.S. and Canada KANSAS CITY— After months of verbal sparring in the smoke-filled rooms of the National Hockey League, the Scouts have finally completed their first honest-to-goodness major trade, the juicy kind that puts them on the flesh-market map. The deal sent defensemen Bart Crashley and Larry Giroux and right wing Ted Snell to Detroit for Guy Charron and minor-league defenseman Claude Houde. In the case of Crashley and Charron, the rider on the trade may have been a doghouse to be named later. Both had found themselves in one with their prior teams, and both will now get a chance…
Draveurs’ Owner Has Last Word—Dumps Dolbec
TROIS-RIVIERES — Players and management are backing their own candidate for coach of the Trois-Riviéres Draveurs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockev League. Claude Dolbec was and still is the players’ choice but Michel Bergeron appealed more to the club’s executive. Bergeron was named coach of the Draveurs after a series of weird events had led to the resignation of Dolbec and managing director Sylvain Cinq-Mars. Bergeron coached the North Division Metropolitan Junior “B” champion Pointe-aux-Trembles Jets last season. Claude Mongrain, owner of the club, signed Bergeron to a two-year contract but now that Cinq-Mars is gone the players would prefer Dolbec to return. Dolbec was apparently good to his players and they couldn’t figure out why the coach of a team, one point out of first place, would be fired. Coach Bergeron got a rude welcome…
