Trade-Off Necessary To Play Canada Cup
For the past several months, Alan Eagleson, the executive director of the National Hockey League’s Players Association and the chief negotiator for Hockey Canada, has been working on the details of both the World Tournament in April and the Canada Cup. He expressed the following thoughts recently, just before he left for Europe with NHL president John Ziegler and other hockey officials to work out the final arrangements for both events. At the present time we have a few problems with Team Canada that we’ve never had before. The first problem is that the tournament starts on April 12 and we have to file the names of the players who are going to comprise Team Canada by midnight on April 11.

Whalers Headed In Right Direction
HARTFORD—Love may be sweeter the second time around, but what of the National Hockey League? The Hartford Whalers, at the midway point of their second NHL season, have performed well enough to receive a passing grade, but the head of the class remains a few years—and at least five more good players—away.

He’s supposed to be one of their milder chaps. Tony Currie plays for the St. Louis Blues. He will assure you that there are no mild fellows on the Flyers. The Flyers are James Cagney-Edward G. Robinson-Jack Palance-Richard Widmark-Jack Elam-on-ice. They are hockey’s Dirty Dozen. The mere mention of Philadelphia hockey inspires a distillation of hatred and macabre fascination. The end product makes you want to come back for more. And like Cagney, et al. at their best, these bad guys from Broad Street are among the finest artists in their profession. Yet, to some viewers they remain the worst possible influence on North American youth.…
