Flyers’ family complete once again

Ultimately, no sentiment saves any employee from a sporting enterprise’s bottom line: the team has to win enough games to survive. Within that understanding, however, some organizations are kinder and gentler than others. They reward their people for successes and look for soft landing places when they fail. An owner inspires good performance and strong loyalty by giving the impression he cares. In so doing, he feels better about himself, too. The Philadelphia Flyers, who are run by a family, have not always been one, big and happy. In 25 years, more than a few heads have rolled through the household.

Cyclone blows Cincinnati from East Coast to IHL

Hockey fans in Cincinnati don’t have to travel far to see a variety of action. All they have to do is wait around and a new league will eventually come to them. Cincinnati entered a new era June 9 by leaving the East Coast League and gaining acceptance into the International League. The IHL is the fifth pro league to have a team in Cincinnati during the past 20 years. The American League, Central League, World Hockey Association and ECHL previously had teams in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Mohawks played in the IHL from 1952 to 1958.

‘Youthful’ Anderson top player

The new kids on the American League block grabbed a big share of post-season awards but John Anderson proved it isn’t just a game for kids. The 35-year-old left winger for the New Haven Nighthawks was named the AHL’s most valuable player and was selected to the first all-star team. Anderson finished fifth in AHL scoring with 41 goals and 95 points in 68 games. He became the first New Haven player to win the Les Cunningham Plaque (MVP). He is also the oldest player to win the award since 38-year-old Dave Creighton of Providence (1967-68). The media and coaches vote on all-star teams and major awards. Anderson was a convincing winner, receiving 102 votes. Cape Breton’s Shaun Van Allen, the first-team center, was second with 48. He was also named the winner of…
