Gillis, McKegney Fit Bill That Bergeron Demands
QUEBEC—Nordique coach Michel Bergeron demands an aggressive, hardworking effort every game from his players and Tony McKegney and Paul Gillis are filling the bill. McKegney came to Quebec last year in the Real Cloutier trade, while Gillis has been filling in for Andre Savard, who’s out for more than a month with a neck injury. “I am happy with the play of Gillis because he is aggressive and because he really wants to win,” says Bergeron. “He is part of the depth that we said we now have on the Nordiques earlier this season. He has had the chance to play and he has showed that he belongs with us.” Gillis is quick to give credit to his linemates, Wilf Paiement and Alain Cote, in helping him adapt to the NHL. The Toronto…

HOCKEY CORNER
Hockey Night In Yugoslavia HOCKEY NIGHT IN Yugoslavia was not exactly like Hockey Night in Canada. For one thing, everyone had to go through a metal detector in order to get into the Zetra and Skendarija ice rinks, scene of the Olympic hockey tournament. You couldn’t smuggle in any octopi to toss on the ice. A white fish, maybe, or perhaps a carp, but nothing with tentacles. It showed up on the screen. It was was a crazy three weeks in Sarajevo. Canada beat the U.S. and got into the playoffs but in the end. Canada lost more games (three) than the U.S. did (two). The guys from the Moscow Square Garden went home with the Stanleykov Cup. So what is it like to watch a hockey game half a world away? It’s different. They use…
HOCKEY VIEWPOINT

The matter of when a pro is a pro and what is an amateur has been haggled over for years but this time the International Olympic Committee made a ruling on the matter. The night before the hockey teams of Canada and the U.S. met in the opening game of the Olympic tournament in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, it was decreed by the IOC that Mark Morrison and Don Dietrich of the Canadian team were not eligible for the Games. Their transgression was playing at least one game in the National Hockey League. At least, that was the rule the IOC produced. Play…
