A Bumper Christmas For Sports Book Fans
This year sports enthusiasts will be easy to please at Christmas time. The huge success last year of Ken Dryden’s, The Game ($19.95 hardcover), has encouraged the publishing community to produce more books for the sports lover—and that makes shopping easier. The following books are available and are highly recommended: PERSONALITY BOOKS Tiger: A Hockey Story—by Tiger Williams and James Lawton This could be one of the bestselling sports books this year. The controversial Tiger Williams tells his life story in a no-holds-barred style. Recently traded by the Vancouver Canucks to the Detroit Red Wings, he even tells us how this book helped to bring about that change in employment. 20 photographs. Hardcover. Cost, $16.95. Gretzky: From Backyard Rink to the Stanley Cup—by Walter Gretzky and Jim Taylor. This is the book that made the headlines…
So Far So Good For K-Wing Coach
Louisville Hockey Louisville Hockey KALAMAZOO—Bill Inglis says he’s enjoying it in Kalamazoo. And well he should. After all, the coach who captured two Turner Cup championships in three seasons at Toledo had his Wings in first place in the East division of the International Hockey League after six games. He realizes, though, there is still a long road ahead, and while he was carrying about 20 players for the first couple of weeks, Inglis was looking to Nov. 12, when the rosters must be trimmed. At that time, teams can only dress 15 skaters and two goaltenders for each game. “That’s when things are going to settle down,” he explained. “When you get down to 17 players, you’ve got to get something out of every one of them. Numbers don’t have that much importance then.” Then Wings…
Vermont, Yale Should Be Better
TROY—With most of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) schools putting veteran teams on the ice this season, the adjective that’s going to be heard a lot this year is much-improved. Two of the teams that will definitely fall into that category are Vermont and Yale. Vermont, under the guidance of first-year coach Mike Gilligan, boasts one of the East’s top left wingers in senior Kevin Foster. Supporting Foster is a strong cast of supporting forwards, as well as good goaltending from three returning netminders, but the defense as a whole could be a problem. At Yale, Tim Taylor, who took a year off to serve as assistant coach with the U.S. Olympic team, returns just in time. “We had a sensational January and February last year,” said Taylor. “The players and the…
Pioneer Spirit Dies In Plattsburgh
PLATTSBURGH, NY—The Plattsburgh Pioneers have played their last game in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. “It’s pretty well over for Plattsburgh,” said Denis Methot. the owner, president, governor, general manager and coach of major junior hockey’s first all-American team. “There is a slight possibility we can move somewhere else but we can’t move to Canada and we’d still need some more investors. This is not an area for hockey, I guess.” Methot, 40, a sports sciences teacher at the University of Quebec-Trois-Rivieres, and a local Plattsburgh family are the team’s main investors and stand to lose almost $500,000 on the project, which seemed ill-fated from Day No. 1. Methot said he was looking into moving the team to Lake Placid or Massena, NY. Massena received approval for a Jr. A franchise in…
