PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Real Cloutier of the Quebec Nordiques has always been recognized as a prolific goal scorer. His big hangup since coming into the NHL has been his inability to stay healthy. After scoring 283 goals in 369 games in the World Hockey Association, Cloutier moved to the NHL with the Nordiqpes in the last expansion. He missed 13 games the first year and last season, the year was a write-off with injuries keeping him out of 46 games. Cloutier claims he’s fully recovered this season and he appears intent on proving to NHL fans he has finally made the grade. After the Nordiques’ first 10 games, Cloutier had scored seven times and added 12 assists for 19 points, the best in the NHL. Cloutier won himself recognition by THE HOCKEY NEWS as NHL Player…

At 41, Keon is the oldest player in the National Hockey League by almost four full years, Detroit’s Vaclav Nedomansky, at 37, is the second oldest. Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, a position which Keon held for six seasons, is one thing, but captain of the Hartford Whalers, with the sun setting on a career now in its 22nd season, is another. Why would Keon, painfully aware that there aren’t many goals left in that straight-bladed stick of his and understandably worried about his body, his mental health and a nearspotless 21-year record, take on an added concern, he was asked. “At this point in…

The International Hockey Weekly Founded in 1947 By kenneth W. Mckenzie Published by W.C.C. Publishing Ltd 214 King St. West. Suite 314, Toronto. Ont M5H 1K4 An Impending Strike? BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, the National Hockey League will either be one month into its 1982-83 season or it will be recovering from or still be victimized by a strike by its players. The collective bargaining agreement that the NHL Players Association currently has with the NHL owners expires on Sept. 15, 1982, and until it runs out the compensation and arbitration system now in effect will prevail. Come next September 15, of course, the players hope all that is changed. They say they want total free agency, much like the players in major league baseball enjoy, where a free agent can sell his services and…
