ON THE CONTRARY
More On The Kid IF YOU DON’T MIND, I’m going to get personal with Wayne Gretzky, but I want you in on this because it says something about The Kid that you should know. Late last February, I received a phone call from Marc Horton, sports editor of The Edmonton Journal. “How about doing a piece on Gretzky for us?” he asked. “Something tough, critical—but fair.” The idea was intriguing; an Edmonton paper critically dissecting its own Super Kid. It was something like Pravda putting the knock on Leonid Brezhnev. “Sure,” I said, “I’ll do it,”—and I did. Just as Horton had requested, he received an article that was tough and critical. Fair? I’m not so sure. The headline—which I didn’t write, it was done by the Copy desk—went a bit overboard. “99—THE GREAT…

Winner Gagnon Handles Laval Reins
LAVAL—Your basic knight in shining armor—at least according to president Claude Foumel—has become the fourth coach of the Laval Voisins in three years. Gerard Gagnon, 33, has signed a one-year contract to coach the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team. And Fournel is convinced his new protege will accomplish what Roger Picard, Fournel himself, Jacques St. Jean and Richard Jamieson could not—turn the Voisins into winners. “The acquisition of Gagnon by our organization is the beginning of championship teams,” Fournel said. “He’s been a winner 10 of the 12 years he’s coached; he always finds a way to win. “When he played for me, he was my captain and was the best leader I’ve had on any team.” Fournel and Gagnon first met 13 years ago as coach and player for Montreal North of the…
