WHL Player Of The Week
Marc Habscheid of the Saskatoon Blades was an extremely disappointed young man when he didn’t stick with the Edmonton Oilers this season. He thought he had played well enough to make the NHL club but the Oilers felt differently and returned him to junior hockey. Habscheid fought back the tears as he explained his feelings to the Edmonton media. His 10 scoring points, including five goals, in nine exhibition games, was exceeded only by Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier on the Oilers.

The NHL The Minors The Colleges The Amateurs Columnists Departments Coming Next Week Last season, the Winnipeg Jets underwent one of the longest losing streaks in sports history, winning just nine games and eliminating themselves from playoff contention by Christmastime. This year, thanks in large part to new coach Tom Watt and the spirited play of its young players — particularly next week’s cover subjects Dale Hawerchuk, Dave Babych and Dave Christian — the Jets are an entirely different team; so different, in fact, that they don’t want to just make the playoffs … they want to win them!…
