Martin Finds Goal-Scoring Range For Buffalo
BUFFALO—As it did Danny Gare, it took Rick Martin a long time to score his first goal this season. Even longer than Danny, in fact, but when Rick got one, it was an important one and when he got another, it was another key score. Gare, Buffalo’s 56-goal scorer of 1979-80, didn’t put the puck into the net until the sixth game of this season. Martin, who had 45 goals last season and who twice has scored more than 50, didn’t score this year until the ninth game. His goal in that game, however, was the only score Buffalo had in a 1-1 tie with Pittsburgh. “Sure, it was a good feeling to score that first one,” Martin said, after the game. “But after five or six games 1 tried to forget about it,…
Ice Hockey Guide Partners Convene In Finland
Last summer, THE HOCKEY NEWS announced that it was embarking on a joint venture partnership with the Finnish Ice Hockey League and Sports Representatives Ltd., the Toronto-based Canadian licensing agent of the Licensing Corporation of America (LCA). In mid-October the three partners convened in Finland to discuss plans for their most recent project—the 1980-81 edition of the International Ice Hockey Guide, which will be on sale later this fall. One of the big highlights of the trip occured in Helsinki, when Don Wall, the publisher of THE HOCKEY NEWS, chose llkka Sinisalo, a player for Helsinki’s IFK team, as the No. 1 star of a game between IFK and Assat, which IFK won by a lopsided 10-2 score (photo, top left). Then, in Tampere, a city north of Helsinki, the new partners posed…
Bruins’ Sinden Not Making Any Panic Trades
BOSTON—Things were so bad around Boston Garden the other day that they were talking about trading Terry O’Reilly. General manager Harry Sinden and the Boston brass weren’t doing the talking, of course, but it seemed like just about everyone else was as the Bruins mired themselves in their worst early season slump in 15 years. “My wife read a couple of local newspapers today and she’s already packing the suitcases,” said O’Reilly in a brave try at humor after the Bruins lost to the Calgary Flames, 3-1, for their seventh winless game in a row, and before the home folks, no less. Sinden conceded that the Minnesota North Stars, always on the lookout for a dash of toughness to add to their mix of skaters and shooters, had made inquiries about O’Reilly’s availability,…
The Hockey News
The International Hockey Weekly Founded in 1947 Published by W.C.C. Publishing Ltd 214 King St. West, Suite 314, Toronto. Ont. M5H 1K4 We Owe Him One THE PICTURE IS OVER eight years old, but it is as vivid a memory now as if it was taken yesterday-not because it is that remarkable a photograph but because, in the light of the latest news on Bobby Hull, it is so very ironic. In one arm, the smiling, movie star-handsome Hull held a huge cardboard replica of the $1,000,000 check he had just received for jumping from the National Hockey League’s Chicago Black Hawks to a fledgling, credibility-hungry rival upstart called the World Hockey Association. In the other arm, he held his beautiful wife Joanne, who gazed adoringly at her man as he beamed into the camera. Behind…
