Special Tournament Rules Protect NHL Players
Visitors to the second annual Molson-NHL Slo-Pitch Classic, June 25-27 in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines, Ontario, will be at least mildly surprised by the calibre of play exhibited by the hockey players. The dedication and drive that has made such NHLers as Marcel Dionne, Darryl Sittler, Rick Vaive, John Tonelli, Larry Robinson Lanny McDonald, goalie Don Edwards and many more the best hockey players in the world is not lost on the baseball diamond. Tonelli will play first base for the New York Islanders in the tournament with the same deter-mination he exhibits as he drives pucks at opposing NHL goalies. Edwards, also a first baseman, is equally as proficient at catching softballs as he is at grabbing pucks shot at him at speeds of up to 100 miles an hour.…
The Hockey News
The International Hockey Weekly Founded in 1947 Published by W.C.C. Publishing Ltd. 214 King St. West, Suite 314, Toronto, Ont. M5H 1K4 News Versus Reality ON SUNDAY EVENING, MAY 16, the New York Islanders won the 1982 Stanley Cup, defeating the Vancouver Canucks, the last team standing between the Isles and their third consecutive National Hockey League championship, in four straight games. Early on the following evening, less than 24 hours after the Islanders’ impressive victory, Dan Rather, the anchorman on the CBS Evening News, devoted part of his nationwide half-hour broadcast to hockey. But instead of featuring footage of Mike Bossy scoring one of his seven goals against the Canucks or Billy Smith making one of his spectacular saves—the kind of highlights one might expect to see so soon after a championship was won—the piece…
Hrudey, Laurence Lead Checkers To Adams Cup
H&B Louisville Hockey H&B Louisville Hockey INDIANAPOLIS—Kelly Hrudey, the sensational rookie goalkeeper from Medicine Hat, was voted the Max McNab Trophy as the Most Valuable Player in the Central League playoffs, as the Checkers captured their first Adams Cup by beating the Dallas Black Hawks in the finals, four games to two. The 21-year-old Hrudey, a native of Edmonton, was in the nets for all 13 of Indy’s post-season games, posting a 2.42 goals-against average, with one shutout (a 7-0 victory over Tulsa in the opening game of the quarterfinal series), Hrudey had led the regular-season goalies with a 2.95 average for 51 games. Red Laurence, 24-year-old center who had been with Salt Lake the two previous seasons, collected four winning goals in the Checkers’ 11 playoff victories. Red scored 11 goals in the…
NHL Indecision Perplexes O’Reilly
BOSTON—The Stanley Cup finals between the New York Islanders and that team in the funny uniforms was taking second place in Boston to the trials and tribulatios of Terry O’Reilly in another classic of NHL indecision that threatens to go on all summer. In case you missed it, O’Reilly struck referee Andy van Hellemond in the face with his gloved hand with two seconds left to play in the Bruins’ final playoff game against Quebec. He was immediately apprehended and sent to the dressing room in chains. The NHL scheduled a hearing for Friday, May 7, in Montreal and everyone showed up except the perpetrator. O’Reilly figured quite logically that there was little he could add to the video film clip of the crime, the testimony of 14,673 witnesses and his own…
