Soviets To Share Hockey Secrets
MONTREAL— In view of the overwhelming success of last year’s seminar, Canadian hockey coaches again are being given the opportunity to study the Soviets’ system of hockey. The course will be held this spring in Moscow from May 26 to June 13. Lectures, discussion periods and practical on and off-the-ice session will stress the Soviets’ scientific approach to the game, training methods, and drills.

Their scientific approach to every sport is very impressive.” Coaches and hockey administrators interested in enrolling in the course or further information concerning the study should…

RANGERS CLAIM WILSON NEW YORK— Dune Wilson has always been a travelling man and he’s on the move once more. The Toronto Maple-Leafs put the tempestuous goalkeeper on waivers after they couldn’t negotiate a trade for him and the Rangers claimed him for $30,000. Wilson, who was in coach Red Kelly’s doghouse for violating team rules during a recent western swing, was ordered off the club and to remain at home while a trade was being negotiated. Rangers jumped at the chance to get him indicating that the New Yorkers may be about to give up on veteran Ed Giacomin while retaining Gilles Villemure as No. 1 netminder on the club.

PASSING THE PUCK
• TERRY REARDON was released by the Baltimore Blades after their first week of play. Reardon had been taken on as a vice-president when the Clippers ended operation and the Michigan Stags moved their franchise to Baltimore. I he popular Reardon served as general manager through Baltimore’s 13-year competition in the American Hockey League. He’s an excellent hockey man and should have no trouble finding a job with another professional organization… Four NHL teams. Montreal. Minnesota. Chicago and St. Louis, traded away Andre Boudrias, but when the league’s top playmakers are discussed the name of the Vancouver Canucks’ stocky center is seldom mentioned. Yet last season Boudrias tied with Boston’s Wayne Cashman for the fifth highest assist total in the league, 59, and this season he’s up among the leaders…
