Stars’ GM Resigns After Sales Disagreement
OKLAHOMA CITY-Ron Nance resigned after a four-month stint as general manager of the Stars, apparently over a disagreement with principal owner John W. Hail. Hail complained to the media in an early September press conference that the club should have sold 3,500 season tickets by that time, and 5,000 by opening night (the Stars won’t have their home opener until Oct. 24 against Wichita). Nance, 40, is a former newspaper writer, rock concert promoter and restaurant owner. He did not attend the press conference but later said he believed the Stars’ sales staff had done the groundwork, and the big weeks of ticket sales were still ahead. As training camp opened with the parent Minnesota North Stars, the Oke City staff had sold 1,450 season tickets. Even more gratifying, there were few cancellations…

Debbie Herbert, a Buffalo fan who wrote in the July issue condemning violence in hockey, is a prime example of the misguided, misinformed, opinionated fan. Debbie says its depressing to see all the violence that has been…
Stars’ Fidler Eager To Prove He Belongs
LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS BLOOMINGTON—Somebody said that because the Minnesota North Stars did not make any major trades in the off-season that there wouldn’t be many changes this year. Nobody told that to the team’s left wingers. The pre-season roster listed No. 1 draft choice Brad Palmer, who will probably be one of the few new faces on the club this year, as the most likely to get the first call. But there were a couple of other near strangers on the Met Center premises. The presence of Mike Fidler and Jack Carlson made the battle for left wing the most interesting in the North Star training camp. Carlson missed all of the 1979-80 season with a back injury. He did not accompany the team on its mid-Sep-tember swing to Sweden for a three-game tournament,…
