St. Mike’s Majors Hope For Return To OMJHL

Canucks Overcome Attitude Problem
a youngster, one who has a possible star future rather than go for somebody they know can play in the NHL in his first year, but maybe only as well as the players they have. They are hopeful of Art Rutland, of Shane Swann and others they drafted as underage players last year, including a rangy defenseman named Rory Cava. But improvement may rest on the team’s ability to land one or two more talented Swedes. They would like to get a center and a defenseman, but then there is a problem of how many Swedes is too many. Milford and Neale both have a passion for physical teams and the Canucks’ roster already contains Lars Lindgren, Per Olov Brasar, Roland Eriksson and Gradin, none of whom are noticed for their…
