Terreri Terminates MSU’s Dream Season
EAST LANSING—No one seriously expected the Providence Friars to come into Michigan State and knock off the Spartans. No one, except Friar goaltender Chris Terreri and his teammates. But Providence, a mere six games over .500 heading into the National Collegiate Athletic Association finals, upended the 37-5 Spartans 6-5 in the two-game, total-goals series to advance to the semi-finals in the Final Four against Boston College, which the Friars defeated 2-1 in double overtime in the Hockey East title game. The Friars, who became just the fifth road team to advance to the semis since the NCAA adopted the two-games, two-goal quarter-finals series in 1980-81, were led by the 5-foot-9, 160-pound Terreri, the Most Valuable Player in the Hockey East playoff tournament and the league’s player of the year. Terreri made an amazing…

Hunter Glad Rumors Are Over—For Now
MONTREAL CANADIENS MONTREAL—Mark Hunter had read most of the rumors. Those he did not read, he heard. Yet, when the National Hockey League trade deadline came and passed March 12, Hunter was still a member in good standing of the Montreal Canadiens. It is understandable for a player to become concerned when his name appears in the local newspapers almost every day. History will note, however, that usually when a player has his name appear, he is seldom the man to be moved. “A lot of rumors go around before the deadline,” Hunter said. “You never know. Anybody could go. The more rumors you hear about, the more you get to wonder if you are going to stay or not. “It’s nice to get back to a situation where I won’t have to worry about…


Let’s Get Together
PERHAPS ONE OF the biggest problems facing the business of hockey in the past has been the absence of teamwork, a lacking of the sense of unity that everyone—from the 21 NHL precincts to the minor pro leagues to major junior to U.S. college—is in the same game. If you think of the various levels of the game as spheres, the biggest problem to date has been that, too often, the spheres have been acting independently when it’s perfectly clear that they continually cross over with a high degree of interaction. So why is it that the left hand continues to keep the right hand in the dark? The most recent case in point involves the Vancouver Canucks and their bid to form a new minor-pro development league in British Columbia that would…
