On The 1955-60 Champion Canadiens’ Clubs
When the New York Islanders captured their second consecutive Stanley Cup championship last spring, hockey experts around the National Hockey League began talking of another hockey dynasty being born. The same kind of talk resulted when the Montreal Canadiens won four consecutive cups from 1976-1979. But when the word dynasty is tossed around the NHL, there is one team, the Canadiens, that stand head and shoulders above all the others. The “Club de Hockey Canadien” have always been a dominant force in pro hockey. Dominated by tradition, they are well known to millions of hockey fans throughout the world. But one period of teams in particular, the Canadiens of 1955-1960, won four NHL championships and five consecutive Stanley Cups. No other organization in the NHL has ever dominated the sport the way Montreal did…
HOCKEY PEOPLE
That’s My Boy! Richard Hunter is a proud and happy father as he hugs his son, Dale, after the hard-nosed center of the Quebec Nordiques scored the series-winning goal in overtime to eliminate the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the 1982 Stanley Cup playoffs. Dale’s brother, Mark, plays for the Canadiens and his older brother, Dave, is a member of the Edmonton Oilers. Both were sent packing for the summer when their teams were upset in the preliminary round. Stepping Out Ron Duguay, left, and injured defenseman Ron Greschner took time off from the Stanley Cup playoffs to participate in the first annual New York Rangers’ fashion show in New York to help raise over $5,000 for the prevention of child abuse.

Flyers Due To Trim ‘Dead Weight’
PHILADELPHIA—Culminating a search they never wished to undertake, combing through a list of candidates that never ran deeper than one, the Flyers united only two days after their elimination to announce that Bob McCammon will coach the team again next season. “I think,” said owner Ed Snider, “he did a phenomenal job.” It looked as if it yielded the same results Pat Quinn might have, but that’s water under the bridge; there’s still a river to be damned up. Ostensibly, that’s why McCammon was given an assistant general manager’s title—to survey this season’s damage and recommend alterations. Allen probably would have reached many of the same conclusions without McCammon, but the Flyers’ general manager is going to be prodded for some changes now. The Hartford bonanza for Rick MacLeish was a good…
Leafs Unpolished Nucleus Could Grow Into Contender
TORONTO—As the losses mounted and the requests for trades elsewhere multiplied and the Maple Leafs struggled through the 1981-82 season searching for a toe-hold from which to launch a rebuilding project, the catch-phrase accompanying the team was always: Give us time to form a nucleus, to assemble a group which comes every night to play and when they get experience, we’ll go somewhere. With a 19th place finish in the standings, the only place the Leafs can go, really, is up and the club had indicated that it will look to the future with its personnel and stay firmly behind the young players who can make up the center of the team. In the past, the Leafs have been burned badly by either giving up players before they reached their potential (Randy…
