S. and Canada LOUISVILLE SLUGGER HOCKEY STICKS Made in Canada by HILLERICH & BRADSBY. LTD Arnold Street. Wallaceburg. Ontario J Sold in U.S and Canada COLUMBUS— AI Savill, Sr., apparently believes he’s carried the Christmas Spirit as far as he can—even in the Christmas season. As a result Columbus hockey fans could find empty stockings on the fireplace by the next Yuletide. Savill is currently in his third season as owner of the Columbus franchise in the International Hockey League and while his latest edition is struggling in last place, he feels he’s giving Columbus fans good hockey. Upset by lack of community support, Savill, who also is one of the owners of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National…
Reds Lose Top Goalers In NHL Recalls
PROVIDENCE— What do you do when you lose two No. 1 draft choices that play the same position? That was the quandry confronting Providence general manager Johnny Muckier last week, when the St. Louis Blues recalled goaltender Ed Staniowski, shortly after the New York Rangers co-working partner along with the Blues in Providence, pulled up their No. 1 pick, netminder Doug Soetarert. Soetaert was recalled to replace Dunc Wilson, who underwent an emergency appendectomy and will be sidelined for six weeks. Staniowski was yanked away from the Reds on emergency conditions and Muckier was on the spot. A phone call to his old friend Punch Imlach in Buffalo did not go unheeded and before the conversation was finished, Muckier had a goal tender. Imlach immediately dispatched Gary Bromley to the Reds and the young goalie…

The commissioner will turn over the list of players to league lawyer Joe Kane who has been instructed to contact the teams in the National Hockey League and World Hockey Association and report back by the Jan. 21 deadline. “If there is not enough satisfactory payment by that time we will consider legal…
But Burned Bruin Winger Cool To Gallery Chorus
BOSTON— Phil Esposito returned to Boston Garden for the first time as a New York Ranger and received several standing ovations from the Boston fans-before the game. It was won by New York, 5-1, and snapped a Boston unbeaten string at 14 games. They were 9-0-5, all with Gilles Gilbert in the nets. While Espo may have been the focal point of that night, there was a sidelight, if it can be called that, that has been a continuing source of interest with the club this season. “Espo got a standing ovation, all right, but later in the game, some of the fans began chanting,” “We want Hodge”, which is really an ironic situation, since they have blistered him here for years. Hodge was not dressed for the game - the second time in…
