Fiset geared to mop up in HextalI’s absence
One of Pierre Page’s nightmares has come true. The good thing is, he got the Reader’s Digest version. An injury to standout goalie Ron Hextall is the last thing the Quebec Nordiques need in their drive towards an Adams Division regular-season title. But HextalI’s thigh injury, sustained Feb. 20 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, isn’t nearly as serious as the groin injuries that have beset Hex-tall the past three seasons. And the emergence of Stephane Fiset as a capable replacement has eased the concern of Nordiques’ coach-general manager Page. Hextall, whose play has been a major reason why the Nords’ fortunes have reversed this season, was carried off the ice after stretching to make a save. He set a return date of March 10. “I really don’t know what happened,” Hextall said. “I made…


THN players gain attention
We make no promises or guarantees to our THN minor hockey player of the week. But when they go on to gain future attention, we’re almost as proud as the parents. Brian Clifford. THN’s first player of the year in 1984-85, was a sixth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1991. Steven Halko, THN’s first-ever player of the week in October, 1984, was the Hartford Whalers’ l0th-round draft pick in 1992. Nicole Kiman, our player of the year in 1989-90, was the first female player at the Toronto Esso Challenge peewee tournament. The 13-year-old forward plays for Syracuse. Making living British way Tony Hand is Scotland’s lone contribution to NHL lore. Edmonton made Hand the last pick overall in 1986. He attended camp that fall but has been playing in the British Premier Division…


Advertisers want to see fighting eliminated in NHL
Although the NHL has cracked down on fighting, new NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is facing considerable pressure from the advertising community to eliminate it entirely. One of the most potent statements comes from the American Express company, which does not sponsor the NHL American Express’ media director Steve Smith issues this warning to the league: “Hockey won’t become major until something is done about the violence. Along with other advertisers, we’re encouraging the league to be much tougher against fighting. The sport will become user-friendly if it cleans up the violence.”…Uwe Krupp told Bluelines that he will consider returning to his native Germany next season if he can’t reach a new deal with the New York Islanders. “Given a choice,” said the 6-foot-6 Krupp, the NHL’s tallest player, “I’d rather…
