Chrysler Rookie Spotlight
His teammates call him Hobey because he won the Hobey Baker Award as the top U.S. college player in 1984, but Mark Fusco would just as soon be known as a good, steady defenseman. The rookie with the Hartford Whalers is not the biggest player in the league at 5-feet-7, 175 pounds, but he more than makes up for it with speed and puckhandling skills. Fusco comes to the Whalers from the U.S. Olympic team, of which he was a part for most of last season after graduating from Harvard. The Whalers acquired him as a free agent last season and he played in 17 games after the Olympics. Fusco has a brother, Scott, who also played on the Olympic team and whose rights are owned by the Whalers, too. They played together…
Quinn Has Kings Believing They Can Win
LOS ANGELES—Changing what might be described as a defeatist attitude on the part of the Los Angeles Kings is right up there on Pat Quinn’s list of priorities, as is lowering what has been a bloated goals-against average for the past three seasons. Off the early returns, the new head coach has found a good degree of success on both counts. Since tying Winnipeg 2-2 on Oct. 27, the Kings went on a tear with eight wins and a tie in their next nine games—making them the NHL’s hottest club in the month of November. An ability to overcome adversity and play defensively on an extremely professional level have made the difference. And should the state of things continue to improve as the season wears on, they’ll be looking back on a 3-2…

Casey A Welcome Loan For ‘Jacks
Louisville Hockey Louisville Hockey BALTIMORE—Jon Casey is the lone star from the Minnesota North Stars. Maybe, he should be called the “loan star.” The All-American goaltender out of the University of North Dakota had a 3-1-1 record and a 2.47 goals-against average in his first five games after being loaned to the Baltimore Skipjacks by the Minnesota North Stars at the start of the season. Baltimore is a strange place to find a Minnesota-owned goalie, but a training camp hamstring pull prevented the promising netminder from staying in the race for a job with divisional-rival Springfield, the regular stop for top North Star farmhands. By mid-November, Casey, who once had fears of being dispatched to the International League, had only one less win than the Springfield team (4-10-2) in less than one third the decisions. Springfield…
