LTD Arnold Street. Wallaceburg, Ontario Sold in U.S and Canada MONTREAL— From the crop of Quebec Major Junior League graduates selected in the National Hockey League’s amateur draft last June, not one prospect was able to break into the regular lineup of an NHL squad in his first season. This dismal showing can be partially accounted for by the fact that the two highest rated performers, Danny Geoffrion and Richard David, signed contracts with the WHA’s Quebec Nordiques.

Inglis’ Relaxed Methods Have Sabres Razor Sharp
BUFFALO— Just how much Billy Inglis’ modern methods of coaching have to do with it, no one can be sure, but the results certainly have pleased the hockey fans of Buffalo. Going into the last week of the National Hockey League’s regular season, the Sabres were traveling an exact opposite course from the early season.

Rangers’ Hustling Maloney Combo Wins Club’s Respect, Admiration
NEW YORK— It is a half hour or so after a recent Rangers’ game, and Don Maloney, the 20-year-old left wing for the New York Rangers, is leaning up against his cubicle in the team’s lockerroom. His arms are crossed in front of his chest, a towel is wrapped around his waist, and a smile is on his face as he chats amicably with a reporter, whose name Maloney has been sure to get before the interview started. Directly across from Don’s quiet subdued locker, a slightly different scene is taking place. One of the cubicles is entirely surrounded by reporters, all of them furiously scribbling or squirming for position as they attempt to capture every word coming from the mouth of a player who still cannot be seen. Suddenly, the throng…
