Larson Is Back After Summer Mishap
Reed Larson had never felt so helpless. It was June 22. Larson, his daughter, Shelby, and son, Ian, were out for a drive near their Minneapolis home. “Another car T-boned us,” recalled the Boston Bruin defenseman. “We rolled, and my arm, which was out the window, got pinned under the car.” The result was four hours of surgery, nine days in hospital, and a left arm which is only now approaching 70 per cent of its former strength. But at the time of the accident, Larson would have traded that left arm for the chance to rush to his children’s side. Shelby, 6, was stuck in an upside-down position inside the overturned car. Four-year-old Ian was unconscious, but Larson had no way of knowing whether his son was still alive. The 25 minutes he…
PLAYER OF WEEK JOFA TITAN
Kevin Randall is a young man with many interests. Not only does the 12-year-old play hockey for the Gillam/Sundance Chargers peewee team in the Norman region of Northern Manitoba, he also enjoys drama and chess. He’s a big music buff and plays both guitar and drums. Kevin’s decision to become a goaltender was an easy one; his older brother Scott also played the position. Kevin started playing net at age seven and has since refined his skills at hockey schools in Flin Flon, Man., and Prince Albert and Yorkton, Sask. The 4-foot-10, Grade 7 student at Gillam School is coached by Scott Scaddan and Rick Campbell. His favorite NHL team is the Philadelphia Flyers and his favorite player is the Flyers’ combative second-year goalie, Ron Hextall. You or someone you know can be part of the…
Glenn Anderson: Annoying But Likable
Two line passes… • The season is not quite as much fun with Kerry Fraser out of action until Christmas. • Michel Bergeron’s soapbox has grown considerably since his Quebec days. He wasn’t putting down violence when the Nordiques’ Louis Sleigher sucker-punched Jean Hamel out of hockey or when Dale Hunter drew and quartered Mike Ramsey. Could Dave Brown have turned him into St. Francis of Assisi? • Joe Nieuwendyk will go far but he’d go even further if his last name were Hull, Howe or Smith. • Every day in every way, Jacques Demers reminds me of Whitey Herzog. That is, a nice White Rat. Jacques Be Nimble, like Whitey, is everything you want in a bench boss only Demers is courteous to everyone; something the Rat isn’t. • Betcha the Flyers will be…
Rejean Lemelin selected this week’s Dodge-NHL Performer of the Week
NEW YORK—Boston Bruins’ goaltender Rejean Lemelin, who registered three straight wins and a 1.67 goals-against-average last week, captured the Dodge Performer of the Week Award for the period ending November 15. Lemelin outdistanced Quebec Nordiques’ left winger Michel Goulet and New York Islanders’ goaltender Kelly Hrudey to earn the honor. On behalf of Lemelin, the Dodge and Chrysler Canada divisions of Chrysler Motors will donate $500 to the youth hockey organization of the player’s choice. The Dodge and Chrysler Canada divisions of Chrysler Motors also sponsor the Performer of the Month and the Performer of the Year Awards, for which the latter receives the Dodge Vehicle of his choice. Lemelin, a 33-year-old native of Sherbrooke, Quebec, began the week by registering 26 saves in a 3-2 win at Toronto (Nov. 11). Returning…
