NHL Player Of The Week
After a somewhat slow start for him (one goal in the first five games) veteran Darryl Sittier has suddenly found the scoring touch. The captain of the Maple Leafs tried unsuccessfully to win a pair of road games for Toronto on their western swing (they lost 5-4 in Los Angeles and 8-5 in Vancouver) by scoring back-to-back hat tricks, a feat that has not been achieved in the modern day history of the NHL. The Toronto ice leader was the most productive goal getter of the week. Not only did Sittier become the first to notch consecutive twin hat tricks, but he also moved past Montreal’s Guy Lafleur into fourth place in the all-time career hat trick list with 15.…

MEDICINE HAT-Pat Ginnell has been coaching junior hockey teams for more years than he likely cares to remember.

If you include the 17 games he played with the Tigers in 1977-78,…
