Will Hull keep the spirit of St. Louis?
Questions, questions and more questions. Now, if only we had the answers: □ How long will Brett Hull remain with the St. Louis Blues? The Blues aren’t trying to trade the underachieving right winger. At least not yet. And the superstar truly loves the St. Louis area and wouldn’t necessarily be adverse to finishing his career there. But beyond the Blues’ losing ways and Hull’s inability to score anywhere close to what he has produced in the last few years, there is the matter of his contract. He’s on the third year of a four-year deal that will pay him $1.6 million this season. Next season is his option year, worth a cool $2.2 million. But Hull, his agent Mike Barnett and the Blues’ management would like to settle on a new deal before then. There’s just…

Interaction with stars highlight of Hockey Fest ’93
Escalating ticket prices have made it impossible for many fans to enjoy live NHL games, but for one weekend fans can see some of the best players in the league for a reasonable price. That’s the philosophy behind Hockey Fest ’93, a four-day exhibi tion of hockey during the NHL allstar weekend, designed especially for the fan. Hockey Fest ’93 will bring together every conceivable element of hockey under one roof at the Montreal Convention Centre.

The 44-by-84-foot temporary rink will be one of the event’s most interesting venues. Louise Forgues, public relations director for Hockey Fest ’93, said…
Rookie Ward shows write stuff in successful rookie campaign
Dixon Ward is the Vancouver Canucks’ writing rookie. A journalism major at the University of North Dakota, Ward would like to become an investigative reporter when his hockey days are over. Meanwhile, he is busy collecting bylines in the Vancouver Sun, where he writes a monthly account of his freshman NHL season. “They’re my first real bylines,” said Ward, a 24-year-old native of Leduc, Alta. “Everybody in my class at North Dakota worked on the school newspaper but I didn’t have enough time because of hockey.” Ward’s mother appears to be his biggest fan. Whenever one of his diaries appears, she hops in the car and drives to the Edmonton airport where she purchases a copy of the paper. “She has them all saved,” Ward said. “She’s taking care of it.” Unlike many athlete-written diaries, Ward’s…
