FRANK ORR’S HOCKEY VIEWPOINT
A Little Gung-Ho THE SPEAKER WAS a fine National Hockey League forward, one of the best four or five at his position in big-league hockey, and the subject was the Canada Cup international tournament. “If I’m not named to Team Canada, I think I’ll lock myself in my room and cry like a baby,” the man said. “Some guys might complain about the obligation they feel to play in the Canada Cup and how they can’t think of a neat way to get out of it. But every player worth his salt wants to be part of it.” The third Canada Cup tournament will be staged in September and a few complaints are heard that the event makes the season, which is long enough now, even longer for those who are involved, that…
Ottawa Laments Loss Of Kilrea While Crawford Has A Royal Task
Louisville Hockey OTTAWA—Ottawa 67s will have an easy time finding a coach to replace Brian Kilrea. But finding a replacement for Brian Kilrea, well, that will be a most difficult chore. Sound confusing? The difference in the two is that Brian Kilrea was more than just a coach. Kilrea coached the 67s the past 10 seasons to five first-place finishes—capped off with the Memorial Cup in May—before deciding early in July to join the New York Islanders as an assistant to Al Arbour. “It won’t be difficult to replace Brian as coach,” said Earl Montagano, the president and governor of the 67s. “It’s not difficult to get a coach. But Brian was over and above that. The rapport Brian had with the players, the league, the parents…that will be hard to replace.” Some of the…

It Was Very Quiet On The Western Front
Louisville Hockey CALGARY—The Palliser Hotel may not measure up to the Las Vegas Hilton in terms of grandeur, but it proved the perfect place to stage the annual Western Hockey League summer meetings. Las Vegas was to be the site of the June pilgrimage, but the expected headknocking session was delayed to June 24-27 and moved to Calgary when the National Basketball Association meetings conflicted with original date of the WHL gathering. That put the Portland Winter Hawks, who share the Portland Coliseum with the Trailblazers, in a scheduling bind. The Trailblazers have > priority in booking the Coliseum and any dates secured by the Winter Hawks would have been in jeopardy of being bumped by the NBA club. Judging from the lack of gambling on trades, it was just as well the…
