Power-Packed Power Play Paces Yale’s Elis
NEW HAVEN—During the pre-season, it looked like Yale had a tough act to follow. After posting their winningest season ever in 1984-85 and establishing a record for goals in a season, the Elis weren’t expected to go much higher. But they have. Sparked by the play of their speciality teams, the Elis started the year with three straight wins, including a 7-5 victory over Harvard, ranked No. 1 in the Eastern College Athletic Association coaches’ pre-season poll. “People who watch eastern hockey say this is the best Yale team in history,” said Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute coach Mike Addesa. How right he is. The Elis have it all—experience, quickness and strength. But it’s been the play of the power-play unit that has been really impressive during the early part of the season.

Oldtime Isles’ Trio Left To Watch And Wait
NEW YORK ISLANDERS LONG ISLAND—“It’s shocking and it’s sad,” Bob Bourne said. “I’m disappointed,” Bobby Nystrom said. “I don’t like it,” Clark Gillies said. All three were discussing their new, hard-to-accept roles as spot players for the Islanders. General manager Bill Torrey and head coach Al Arbour had indicated earlier that they would be inserting newer, fresher and younger players into the lineup this season. But nobody expected the wholesale insertions that have taken place. Some of the changes were dictated by injuries; the Islanders have been losing players at a club record clip this season. The other changes were dictated by the failure of some veterans to regain their old form. The Islanders employed 32 players during the first quarter of the season. That included nine rookies—Scott Howson, Mark Hamway, Bob Bassen, Dale Henry. Neal Coulter,…
MICRON JUNIOR PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
ONTARIO LEAGUE Stan Drulia of the Belleville Bulls knows this season has to be a big one for him because he is eligible for the NHL draft next summer. The 17-year-old right winger, in his second season with the Bulls, was chosen as the OHL’s Player of the Week after he collected 10 points in four games. Drulia scored four times, including two game-winning goals. With 12 goals already, Drulia is well on the way to surpassing his 1984-85 production of 24 in 63 games. WESTERN LEAGUE The Saskatoon Blades came off a recent six-game road trip with four wins and one of the reasons for their success was the play of Troy Vollhoffer. The Blades’ left winger was named WHL Player of the Week after scoring nine points in three straight victories as the Blades…
