Red Wings Meet Five NHL Teams In Exhibition Run
DETROIT, Mich.— The Red Wings will meet all their Nationa1 Hockey League’s rivals during the exhibition season except New York, manager-coach Sid Abel said after completing pre-season game plans. Abel tried to line up a game with the Rangers but the New Yorkers are making a western swing and Abel and Emile Francis couldn’t get together on a date. The Chicago Black Hawks and Toronto Maple Leafs will make appearances at Olympia while the Wings will play a game in the Forum with the Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens and another against Toronto in Maple Leaf Gardens.

Jersey Devils Back In Good Books Of EHL; Prexy Lockhart Sets Up 72-Game Schedule
CHERRY HILL, N.J. The Jersey Devils aren’t dead after all as far as the Eastern Hockey League is concerned. At least the Devils have complied with the first step for performing in the circuit during the coming campaign. The Devils, like all the other nine clubs from the 196566 campaign, have posted their preliminary escrow money with the league headquarters. As a result, no longer is there talk hereabouts that the club would die due to the coming appearance of a Philadelphia entry in the NHL for the 1967-68 campaign. To the contrary, rumors are making the rounds that perhaps the Philly team is not as disinterested as it was supposed to be at last reports.

Toe Blake Given ‘OK’ By Medics, Signs Another One-Year Contract To Coach Canadiens For 12th Time

The 54-year-old Blake has often expressed a preference for one-year contracts, and for a variety of reasons. In addition to health, there’s money to be gained and complacency to be avoided by signing a one-year deal. Says Toe: “If we do well…
