Steady Rearguard Barrett Victim Of North Stars’ Plight
TWIN CITIES— When your team is in last place in its division, it’s likely that only one of your teammates is going to be selected to play in the All Star game. In the case of the Minnesota North Stars, leading scorer Bill Goldsworthy will probably get the call again to represent his team Jan. 20 in Philadelphia. Goldy probably will deserve the invitation, but it is unfortunate for 25-year-old defenseman Fred Barrett that the North Stars are not having a better season. The 6’, 188-pound Ottawa, Ont., native is All Star mettle, if not this season, then in future years. Barrett, as coach Ted Harris likes to refer to him, is a defenseman’s defenseman. Barrett is not a flashy skater, nor a big shooter. He just plays his position, and Minnesota’s opponents know it…

Ontario Sold in U.S. and Canada WILLIAMSVILLE— The sweeping rule changes instituted earlier this season by North American Hockey League commissioner Jack Timmins have had an immediate and massive impact on the play of league games. When the NAHL announced its extensive revisions on Thursday, Nov. 13, the announcement was lavished with very generous coverage in both the national and local media in the United States and Canada, including a cover story in THE HOCKEY NEWS. Much of the editorial reaction was favorable. In a few cases it was unfavorable. In short, a great deal of attention was focussed on whether the…
Rangers Start Putting It Together As Davidson Goes It Alone In Goal
NEW YORK— Whenever the Rangers are the center of talk in NHL quarters the subject of their passive nature comes up. Stories of teammates standing by and watching Dave Schultz of the Philadelphia Flyers administer a severe beating to Dale Rolfe in the seventh game of the New York-Philadelphia semi-final series two years ago abound. Other horror issues come up about Eddie Giacomin being left more or less unguarded and worked over by tough minded crease hangers of the Gary Dornhoefer type. Some of the old gang did their thing and tried to help out—in particular Ted Irvine. Steve Vickers, the Rangers, All Star left wing, who tells it like it is, went to Esposito’s aid in Philadelphia in the afternoon game of Nov. 22 with the Flyers. He did it again when…
Clippers Stumbling Without Ice Breaks; Voyageurs, Amerks Still Head To Head

In a week that began promisingly enough with a 5-1 victory over Rochester, the Clippers stumbled in Springfield, losing 5-3, and then came home to drop a 4-2 decision to Hershey’s resurgent Bears. The defeats sent the Baltimore club reeling into the cellar of the Southern Division, a spot they could occupy for some time unless they reverse the “tough breaks.” They were out the next night after an 8-2 conquest of New Haven. “We’re not playing badly,” offered playing coach Kept Douglas, “but things just aren’t going…
