Flyers To Be Tough With Templeton At Helm
LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS NIAGARA FALLS — The story goes something like this: The new player arrived in town, having been traded to the Hamilton Fincups, and upon walking into the dressing room, dropped his equipment bag and announced to his new teammates, “I’m the toughest (expletive deleted) guy on this team, and don’t anyone forget it.” The words had barely escaped his’ mouth when he received a pop on the kisser, sending him sprawling to the floor. Then came the words, “I’m the toughest guy on this team and don’t YOU forget it.” The puncher and speaker was Bert Templeton. Like many stories that make their way around the Ontario Hockey League, this one might be fabricated, getting better and more ficticious with each telling. It probably isn’t, though. Templeton has the reputation…
Larouche Center Of Habs’ Tempest

Guy Lafleur has mounted his all-too-white charger and come to his rescue. Larouche was benched by coach Bob Berry for a game in Chicago after a less than impressive effort against the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo.

OHL Player Of The Week
The line is already forming in the NHL for the services of Brian Bellows, the talented 17-year-old right winger of the Kitchener Rangers. Bellows will be at the top of every NHL team’s list for the 1982 summer draft and it appears Bellows is not making it any easier with another fast start in the Ontario Hockey League. The six-foot, 197-pound Bellows turned in a productive week as he collected nine points in a three-game stretch to win the nod as the OHL’s Player of the Week. Bellows was the spark as the Rangers won three straight games and he contributed three goals and set up six more for Kitchener. In a 7-2 romp over Peterborough, Bellows scored once and had two assists. He popped in two more the next night in Kingston…
