Santa Answers League Xmas Letters: Guelph’s Muller Wants Goal Scorers
NORTH POLE—Regular HOCKEY NEWS correspondent Mike Brophy was busy with year-end duties at the Peterborough Examiner and dropped me a line asking if I wouldn’t mind filling in for him just this once. I checked it out with the powers that be at THE HOCKEY NEWS and was given the green light. Of course, I have a little trouble keeping up with what’s happening in the Ontario Hockey League and if I tried to bluff my way through a story, you’d think I was just a crazy old man. Rather than try to fool you, 1 thought I’d simply send along a few of the letters I received this year. Dear Santa: Remember me from last year? I’m the guy who was playing in Kingston and asked you to find a way to keep me…

Expansion Reflects Attendance Surge
QUEBEC—When the topic of expansion first arose last year, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League governors were less than ecstatic. They suggested there wouldn’t be enough quality players around the province to stock the two new teams—the Longueuil Chevaliers and Drum-mondville Voltigeurs. They also said the quality of play would be diluted. While the Voltigeurs continue to sit in the Dilio Division’s basement, Longueuil is a solid third in the Lebel Division and has the league’s fourthbest record. But more important to league officials are the impressive attendance figures through November—and not only in the expansion cities. League attendance has increased bv 69,585 fans from the same point last year. While it is true that Longueuil’s and Drummondville’s cumulative totals have much to do with the surge, attendance is still up by some 18,000 among…
Tallent Only Goes So Far In Division Three
NORTH DARTMOUTH—His name is Tallent. It’s a perfect moniker for a hockey player, or for any athlete. He’s a hockey player, however, and a pretty good one. You don’t read much about the Mark Tallents of the world in this publication, but there’s no better time than now. Yes, there were only a few games played by Eastern hockey’s big guys in Division One last week. Business is slow. Mark Tallent plays in Division Three, where business is always slow, in one sense. The media and the crowds never show up. Tallent and his mates and opponents play the game with nary a thought to public attention—ars gratis artis, as the MGM lion would say. In just a few weeks, the hockey career of Mark Tallent, senior, Southeastern Massachusetts University, will be…
