LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS INDIANAPOLIS—Life begins anew for the Central Hockey League and Oct. 10 will be considered the date of the birth.

Ridley Intent On Reclaiming Job
VANCOUVER—Vancouver Canucks had a fairly passive training camp, though not in the traditional sense.

Only left wing and goal were the big areas, left wing having many candidates vying for what will be four positions while Curt Ridley and Gary Bromley battle to see who will have the honor of backing up Glen Hanlon.

Meanwhile the Canadian Olympic Association is responsible for the preparation of the…
