Flyers’ Holmgren Has Close Call
PHILADELPHIA-The day after his crossed star took his career to another nine-count. Paul Holmgren found himself adding not only his blessing, but his game misconducts. His third ejection of the season left him with an automatic one-game suspension, served last Saturday night in Quebec City. Which was a downer, considering that the Flyers felt two of the three game misconducts Paul had accumulated through it games this season were unjust. But considering his eyesight could have been suspended. for say, the next ten years of his career, Holmgren considered himself a lucky man. Fate, which has drawn a target on his right eye, let Paul off this time with a warning. The eye suffered permanent damage due to a skate cut in a minor-league hockey brawl in 1976, and the Rangers’ Eddie.…

Lemoyne’s Deals Have Sorel Flying
SOREL—Rod Lemoyne laughs uproariously at cynics who thought he was half-cocked last year for trading high-scoring forward Normand Aubin to the Sherbrooke Beavers. Lemoyne, the fiesty owner of the Sorel (nee Verdun) Black Hawks, stunned Quebec junior hockey followers when he shipped Aubin. Brian Johnson and defenseman Richard Larocque, all 19, to the Beavers for a couple of little-known 18-year-olds, Andre Cote and Jean-Marc Gaulin, plus the Beavers’ second-round midget draft choice and approximately $10,000. Today. Messr.v Aubin, Johnson and Larocque have al! graduated. Cote meanwhile, had scored 16 goals and 17 assists through the Hawks’ opening 16 games—second to teammate Chris Valentine’s league-leading 20 goals and 18 assists. Gaulin had collected eight goals and nine assists and the second-round choice worked out to be left wing David Charbonneau. It was nothing short…
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…
