And you always thought the Dallas Cowboys were America’s Team? In the March 15 issue of THE HOCKEY NEWS, we’ll profile the Washington Capitals, who can be tabbed as America’s Hockey Team, thanks to the efforts of Bobby Carpenter, Rod Langway and Dave Christian, to name a few. There are many observers who feel this will be the year that the Caps go all the way to the Stanley Cup final, so we’ll look at this team on the way up. And we’ll also have a special section on career counselling, including the growing trend of established players planning for their post hockey days, not to mention an in-depth look at the difficult decisions facing thousands of teenage hockey players across North America. All that plus much, much more in the March 15…

Not too many people have tried to find a job as hard as I did. Every day for a month-and-half, I’d put…
Being A General Manager Is Like Lifetime Security
BOSTON COACH GERRY Cheevers was fired recently. St. Louis boss Ron Caron received a contract extension. Bill LaForge was fired as coach of Vancouver just a few days after Lou Nanne received a contract extension in Minnesota. Bill Mahoney, Herb Brooks and Orval Tessier have also been fired this season, while Cliff Fletcher, Serge Savard and David Poile have new contracts to show for their efforts. And on and on it goes in the strange world of professional hockey. The coach, it has been said too often, is hired to be fired. Being appointed general manager in the National Hockey League is like being appointed to the Canadian Senate. Often, you’re set for life. Only one man—Al Arbour—has continuously coached the same team for five NHL seasons—which is a tribute to his team and…
