Amerks’ Mattiussi Already Hustling For Next Season
ROCHESTER— While many coaches and general managers in the AHL don’t have to worry about where they’ll get players because of strong tieups with NHL clubs, Dick Mattiussi already is hustling for next season. The Rochester Americans do have a working agreement with the Boston Bruins, but the Amerks also are independent and own about half of their own players. With NHL and World Hockey Association clubs expected to cut back drastically on the number of players they’ll keep, Mattiussi wants to be ready to pounce on anyone let go who he feels can help Rochester. It was Mattiussi’s alertness that brought Ron Garwasiuk and Dunc Rousseau to Rochester during the past season, and contributed a lot to the success of the team. “Boston naturally will want to put young players here because they have…
Montreal Gets Nod For ‘76 Memorial Cup
MONTREAL— For the second time in four years the Montreal Forum will be the site of the Memorial Cup championship. After being held here in 1973 the locale switched to Calgary in 1974 and Kitchener this past season. The 1976 climax to the junior hockey season will be held from May 9 to 16 with the top teams of the Western Canada League, Quebec Major League and Ontario Hockey Association vieing for the national title.

A spokesman for Colibec, owners of the Quebec junior franchise, said that all shares in the team were sold to Mas-sicotte and its shareholders. Remparts’ manager Paul Dumont said the losses incurred by the club over this past season were not the reason…
Canucks May Be Lacking On Talent Side But Coaching, Management Take Up Slack
VANCOUVER— Some things in hockey are inevitable…Dave Schultz leading the NHL in penalties…Scotty Bowman criticizing the officials…critics decrying the declining state of the game. Let’s dealwith the last named topic for now. The reason hockey is so frequently criticized, particularly during and immediately after the Stanley Cup playoffs, is that it makes such a nice, juicy target. In many respects, it has regressed from the uncomplicated version we used to know. While it may be true there are as many and perhaps more good players around now as there ever were, it is also true virtually every team is carrying regulars who couldn’t have got into an NHL building without a ticket 10 years ago. The old system of sponsored junior teams and apprenticeship in the minors was riddled with inequities, but nevertheless it often…
