Olympic Changes Will Have Minimal Impact
The International Ice Hockey Federation has opened the door to widespread participation by professionals in the 1988 Olympic Games but don’t expect a great impact on the programs of Canada and the United States. “I don’t think it makes a heckuva difference whether you make it wide open or put restrictions on it,” said Canadian national team coach-general manager Dave King. “I still think the key thing is availability versus eligibility. “I don’t think a lot of the players that you would like to get would be available.” The likelihood of, say, Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky being lent to Canada or John Vanbies-brouck and Bob Carpenter to the U. S. is not high—nor feasible in the minds of most National Hockey League officials. “We can’t shut down our season for two or three…

From Waiver Wire To Top Of Team Scoring
BOSTON—Less than two months into the 1985-86 hockey season it appeared that Geoff Courtnall’s days as a Boston Bruin were numbered and it was a very low number indeed. He was placed on waivers and nobody claimed him, not even the talent-hungry Detroit Red Wings and Los Angeles Kings. He was another 23-year-old hockey player headed for early retirement. But now, 10 months and one highly-successful training camp later, after a turnaround that saw him score 21 goals last year, Courtnall was tabbed as one of the team’s top three left wingers as the Bruins entered this season. And six games into the schedule he was leading the team in scoring with three goals and seven assists for 10 points. “He’s off to a great start,” said coach Butch Goring. “He had a great camp.…
