Notre Dame expects approval to rejoin league

The Irish are fighting to get back into the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. And it looks like they’ll win the battle. Notre Dame, which competed as a member from 1981 to 1983, has applied to rejoin the league in 1992-93. If their request is granted, Notre Dame will join already-approved Kent State as a CCHA member. That will bring the total number of CCHA teams to 11. High costs forced Notre Dame to disband its Division I hockey program after the 1982-83 season. Hockey was reborn at the school a few years later as a club team. Three years ago, the Irish became a Division I team, but operated as an independent. The university’s decision to rejoin the conference is based on its desire to be part of a viable Midwest league with an…

Hextall vows days as royal pain over

The date circled on the Philadelphia Flyers’ team calendar is Oct. 25. That’s the day Ron Hextall is scheduled to make his return from suspension in front of the hundreds of people who have been showing up at the Winnipeg Arena these days. For those who do not get to travel to such exotic outposts, the main attraction in the Winnipeg rink is the enormous portrait of the Queen which hangs above the stands at the north end of the building. It’s fitting that such a powerful authority figure will be looming above Hextall, practically waiting to lower the boom. The latest boom for Hextall occurred during a pre-season game when the Flyers’ goaltender engaged in a sword fight of sorts with Detroit prospect Jim Cummins. The game was played in Miami,…

Harfangs suffering sophomore slump

The scenario is well documented. After a strong rookie season, some players have been known to struggle considerably in their second campaign. The question is: can it affect teams as a whole? The Quebec League’s Beauport Harfangs must be asking themselves that question these days. The Harfangs surprised even themselves by finishing an impressive 26-40-4 and a single point out of the playoffs in their first year. But now they’re struggling to find the winning formula this season. After losing 6-4 to the Laval Titan Oct. 14, Beauport’s record stood at 1-11. Twelve games into the 1990-91 season, the Harfangs had seven points. “If I am frustrated, it’s because our record does not indicate the talent of my club,” Harfangs’ coach Alain Chainey said. “Take our game (Oct. 13) at Victoriaville. We allowed seven goals…
