New President Ziegler Given Wider Powers
CHICAGO— John Ziegler has become the fourth president in the history of the National Hockey League and it appears he will have broader powers than any of his three predecessors in the 60-year span of the league.

Willi Plett, a widely-ignored fifthround draft choice in 1975, was named rookie of the year, just as another Flame, Eric Vail, was two years ago. In five seasons, the Flames have had not only the two Calder winners, but in 1974 they had Denis Potvin’s runner-up, Tom Lysiak. Flames general manager Cliff Fletcher now feels justified in boasting that the young talent on his roster is “as good as anybody’s.” He believes he had not only the league’s top rookie forward last year, but also the No. 1 rookie defenseman. in Dave Shand, and perhaps even the No. 2, in Richard Mulhern.
