Drugs Just As Prevalent In Hockey As Other Sports
Within the past year, reports have come out indicating that as many as 70 percent of the players in the National Basketball Association are using cocaine or other drugs on a frequent basis. While these figures haven’t been substantiated, it is safe to say that the influence of drugs on the athletes of the 80s is greater than ever before. Football players have often disclosed the huge amounts of pain-killers used by athletes to “prepare” for games and to be able to withstand the physical beating to which they are subjected. While sports such as baseball and hockey don’t have as widespread a reputation for drug use by their players, there is evidence to suggest that drugs are indeed having their impact, upon the players of all sports. This summer, Texas Rangers’…
WHL Player Of The Week
LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS The Victoria Cougars are striving to become the No. 1 team in the Western Hockey League race this season and if there is such a thing as combining an overpowering offense with a stingy defense, then the Cougars have it made. The top scoring machine in the WHL, the Cougars also have the best defensive record of any of the 13 teams and much credit belongs to the club’s outstanding 17-year-old netminder, Grant Fuhr, who has been named WHL Player of the Week.

Both teams are chasing Regina for the overall championship and Fuhr has been…
Kings Feel Murphy Best Rookie
LOS ANGELES — He may not win the Calder Trophy, because he plays in Los Angeles, was not a top pick in the draft, and may not maintain his present pace, but through the 1980 portion of the 1980-81 season, Larry Murphy of the Kings looked like the outstanding rookie in the National Hockey League. He will not be 20 until March, but the 6’1” 217-pound defenseman is mature mentally and physically. He has size, strength, speed and agility in awesome amounts. He has been called on to take a regular shift, kill penalties, and play a point on the power play, and he has made the Kings the most improved team in the NHL. Murphy does not hit as much as he might, but he gets his body in-between players and…
