NORDMARK ENJOYING NEW SURROUNDINGS
Ron Caron is best known these days for building the Calgary Flames. But the St. Louis Blues’ general manager likes to spread the wealth. The Canucks think he did so when he traded Swedish defenseman Robert Nordmark to Vancouver for defenseman Dave Richter. It’s not that Nordmark is a world beater by any stretch of the imagination. Not yet anyway. But that potential exists, and given the fact Canuck president and GM Pat Quinn also received a second-round 1990 draft pick in the Sept. 7 deal for Richter, Nordmark doesn’t have to be exceptional to make the deal a great one from Vancouver’s point of view. One thing is definite. It’s been great for the 26-year-old Nordmark. He has been playing very well (-in games) and enjoying his new surroundings. Nordmark likes the Smythe…

EAGLES SOARING IN NEW NEST
For the last two seasons, home for Boston College was wherever the team hung its equipment. McHugh Arena, the Eagles’ old home, was tom down after the 198586 season. While waiting for 7,884-seat Conte Forum to be built, the Eagles played ‘home’ games in Boston University’s Walter Brown Arena, Northeastern’s Matthews Arena, Boston Garden and Harvard’s Bright Hockey Center. Practices were held in eight other rinks around Boston. The Eagles moved into Conte Forum at the start of this season.
