HOCKEY WORLD
Hockey In Texas? SHOULD TEXAS HAVE professional hockey? Why not? I asked myself on a recent trip to Houston. The Lone Star state has everything else—the Cowboys, Earl Campbell, Ralph Sampson, the Rangers (that’s a baseball team, pardner), Gilley’s and Victoria Principal. The problem is, ever since the World Hockey Association Houston Aeros packed away their Zamboni and the Central League abandoned Dallas and Fort Worth, the only contact Texans have with hockey is newspaper reports of the far-off National Hockey League, cable TV and weekly deliveries of THE HOCKEY NEWS. Why, you may be asking, is this guy worried about Texas not having hockey? Alabama, Georgia and Florida, to name three southern states, don’t have hockey. Can’t life go on without hockey? No, it can’t—not if you’ve grown to have an affection…
BLUELINES
Amove to shut the National Hockey League’s Toronto office is being pushed by a Campbell Conference owner who says the league should centralize its Canadian operations in Montreal. The budget-conscious ice boss also wants his fellow governors to ride herd on other free spenders in the administration. “We have too many riding the gravy train,” the owner tells BLUELINES. “When we had the Florida meetings these guys treated themselves to oceanfront rooms while some of the owners were stuck in the back.’’…Charlie Huddy, winner of the Emery (plus-minus) Edge Award last year, is hardly an Edmonton untouchable. The Oilers offered him to St. Louis—with a goalie—for Perry Turnbull. The Flyers and Rangers also made a serious bid for Tumbul-1…USA Network biggies insist they’re going to make an earnest bid to…
Ads, Komets, Diggers Top All-Stars
FORT WAYNE—The International Hockey League all-star, team which will be competing against the U.S. Olympic team on Jan. 17 in Kalamazoo, will be comprised principally of players from Milwaukee, Fort Wayne and Toledo. The first team has Lome Molleken of Toledo in goal, Kevin Willison of Milwaukee and Toledo’s Brian Tutt on defense. Dale Yakiwchuk of Milwaukee at center, flanked by Wally Schreiber of Fort Wayne on the left wing and Dan Lecours of Milwaukee on the left side. On the second team, Georges Gagnon of Kalamazoo is the goalie with Vic Morin and Mike Boland, both of Fort Wayne on defense. Ron Leef of the Komets is the center, with Bill Joyce of Toledo on right wing and Jim MacRae of Kalamazoo on the left side. Eight players will be…
Stars Shining On Jets’ Young
WINNIPEG—Most players are delighted to learn of their selection as one of the game’s three stars, but Tim Young wasn’t. The 28-year-old center was actually upset. He refused a radio interview as he stepped off the ice following a 6-3 win over St. Louis Blues. When other media members approached him. he refused to comment about his selection, dismissing it as something undeserving. One assist hardly made him a logical choice from a productive point of view. He hadn’t even made a pass to Brian Mullen for the Jets’ third goal. The puck actually bounced off his shin pads as he dropped to block a shot while killing a penalty. But as far as Don (Bones) Raleigh was concerned, he was most deserving of a star. Raleigh is one of a dozen or so…
