Delage Expects Tough Final Series As Beavers, Remparts Square Off
SHERBROOKE — As the first game of the final Quebec Major Hockey League series between Sherbrooke Beavers and the Quebec Remparts approached, Sherbrooke mentor Ghislain Delage knew that he would have to pump up his players for a brand new challenge. The Beavers had romped through their semi-final series with Trois Rivieres Dravers scoring 40 goals in five games, as wave after wave of offensive assaults proceeded into the Draveurs’ zone. But in the final-round matchups, the Beavers are up against a powerful defensive club in the Quebec Remparts, who allowed only nine goals in their four-game sweep of Cornwall in the semi-finals. The series, promised to be the classic high-powered offense versus the impregnable defense — a proposition that leaves Delage somewhat worried. “I’m sure my defense can and will play much better against…

Port Huron, Dayton Set For Cup Showdown

Arnold Street, Wallaceburg, Ontario Sold in U.S. and Canada LOUISVILLE SLUGGER HOCKEY STICKS Made in Canada by HILLERICH & BRADSBY, LTD. Arnold Street, Wallaceburg, Ontario Sold in U.S. and Canada SAGINAW— For Saginaw manager-coach Don Perry and the Saginaw Gears, the 1976 International Hockey League playoffs were a run. Or, to be more specific, another nightmare. The Gears, who were trying for a third straight year to finish at the head of the class in the annual post-season prom, had their troubles winning on home ice and it cost them a berth in the Turner Cup finals. A similar plague bounced the Gears out of the trophy room a year ago. Toledo defeated Saginaw in the championshipseries, four games, to three including the deciding seventh game. Two of…
Islanders’ Harris Finds Knack Of Playoff Scoring
LONG ISLAND— It seems hard to believe, but the New York Islanders are putting the finishing touches on their fourth N.H.L. season. Time flies, especially when you’re having fun, but it doesn’t seem possible that it was the summer of’72 that the fledgling club introduced its first real, live hockey player — a slick skating right-winger by the name of Billy Harris. From that moment, Harris was expected to be “Mr. Islander,” everything from a Calder winner to a fifty-goalscorer. He hasn’t hit the 50 mark yet, nor the 40 for that matter, but in four N.H.L. seasons he has lit the lamp a total of 108 times. He enjoyed his best year in’ ‘75-’76 as he totalled 32 goals and 38 assists for 70 points. Despite his year-by-year development, there are still a…
