Quebec City World Snow Capital In February
Festivals and popular amusements have always had a special meaning in the hearts of Quebecers: Records confirm that winter carnivals took place some 100 years ago in this historic old city they call “La Vielle Capitate.” In 1954 a group of innovative Quebec businessmen decided that an annual Winter Carnival would fulfill the desire for some festivities and at the same time stimulate a stagnant winter economy. With the financial help of different sponsors and with funds collected during a “candle night”, the Winter Carnival would become a world-known attraction. And so, this is why February in Quebec City is no ordinary month. It is not a month when winter cold and greyness has a depressing effect but rather a month of celebration. This year, from the 4th to the 14th of…

ON THE CONTRARY
Goaltenders’ Rights Writer Joe Fitzgerald to Sylvie Baron, wife of goalie Marco Baron: “What advice have you for a woman who wants to marry a hockey player?” Sylvie Baron: “Marry a forward. It’ll be easier!” This was at Madison Square Garden. Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Rangers. The puck skittered beyond the visitors’ net. Paul Harrison of the Penguins did what goaltenders have done 590,847 times since Jacques Plante got the brilliant idea 25 or so years ago that he could wander behind his goal and save the puck for one of his defenders. Smash-bam-alacazam! Like a Red Ball Express gone out of control, Nick Fotiu inhospitably made a good case for collision insurance. Harrison went flying in the direction of Pennsylvania Station and yet another argument for goalie rights was brought before…
Beverley Named Perry’s Replacement After Nighthawk Coach’s Promotion
NEW HAVEN — Nick Beverley has a tough act to follow as the new coach of the New Haven Nighthawks. Beverley succeeded Don Perry behind the bench in New Haven after the parent Los Angeles Kings named Perry as the coach of the struggling California club. The popular Perry replaced Parker MacDonald, who was moved upstairs in the Kings’ office as assistant general manager. The new Nighthawks’ mentor inherited a team that Perry had driven to first place in the see-saw AHL Southern Division race before accepting the job to coach the Kings. Before coming to New Haven, Beverley was the assistant to MacDonald in Los Angeles and also coached the Houston Apollos during the 1980-81 campaign before that club folded on January 8, 1981. “We feel that Nick is the best possible…
