Minnesota Junior Stars goalie Chuck Holman, a lanky teenager with a shy. infectious grin, may not quite fit this romantic mold, but his heroics in goal recently might qualify him as the goaling Galahad of the Midwest Hockey League. The 6’1”, 165-pound Holman set a league record last week by shutting out the opposition for seven-plus periods. 141 minutes and 57 seconds. In three appearances in the net. Holman recorded back-to-back shutouts over the St. Paul Vulcans (4-0) and Fargo-Moorhead Sugar Kings (9-0). turning away a total of 70 shots in the process. Sunday night, at St. Cloud. Holman kicked out 38 Blues’ shots to lead Minnesota to a 5-3 victory. A 1974 graduate of…
