QMJHL Takes 12-Day Hiatus
MONTREAL—For the first time in its 14-year history, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League did not schedule any games for a 12-day period over Christmas and New Year’s. In the past, teams would be given two-day holidays at Christmas and New Year’s only. League governors decided last June to make the change, basically due to the conflict that arose because of the world junior championships in the Soviet Union. “While most of the clubs wanted a rest during Christmas,” said QMJHL executive director, Paul Dumont, “if the world championships weren’t going on, there probably wouldn’t be this long of a rest.” “Teams like Laval and Hull (who, respectively, lost Mario Lemieux and Sylvain Turgeon, to the Canadian team) obviously didn’t want to play over the holidays,” said Dumont. One player who headed home to Detroit…

Bobby Orr Is Just Fine, Thank You
Having dinner with Bobby Orr is a novel experience, especially when Don Cherry is a third member of the group. That’s the way it was in George Bigliardi’s place on Church Street the other evening, after On had presided over his annual skating party for charity at Maple Leaf Gardens. You realize that people at neighboring tables are casting frequent looks in your direction. Strangers drop bye seeking autographs. Heads swivel as you stroll out, and customers point. Excited murmurs can be overheard. Out on the street, while goodbyes are being exchanged, traffic bunches up as motorists slow down to take a look. More than four years after playing his last game in the National Hockey League, No. 4 remains a celebrity of giant proportions. He always will be, most likely. It’s a pleasure to announce that…
THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE
Someone’s Putting Me On WHEN YOU talk about sports teams in Great Britain, the first names that come to mind are Manchester United, Liverpool, Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. But Glasgow Dynamos, Dundee Rockets and Cleveland Bombers? Surely, somebody must be putting me on. Such is not, however, the case. These are all legitimate names for clubs in the British Ice Hockey League. The league, once heavily promoted by Britain’s Mr. Hockey, Bunny Aheame, is back in business after a hiatus of 22 years. Bunny, who is 82 and enjoying good health in his home near London, retired this past September from the British Ice Hockey Association, which he headed for 49 years. He was also the head of the International Ice Hockey Federation for more than 20 years before retiring in 1975. His place…
