I find it curious that the official name of the first edition Portland club was the "Uncle Sams". Every reference that I have seen including Vancouver,...
As I was growing up in the 60s, THN always had front paqe news of the IHL until about the time playoffs started in April. Luckily I kept all my issues and have...

This interchange reminds that the first time I ever saw the THN was at the first NHL game I ever attended. It was at a Minnesota North Star in Oct 1978. I...
Frank: Yes, they did. Maybe that's where that old one came from--I don't remember for sure. BTW: John Stott (author of Icemen) never did contact me. Do you...
IIRC, I have a similar copy of THN from about 1969-1970 which had an exclusive cover for the old WHL. This was one of the first copies of THN I ever saw. My...

I have The Hockey News from '69 through '74 and many of the issues have an AHL cover.? You get the same stories but a different cover.? Not sure how regional...
This morning I was searching on ebay for old sports program of interest to me. I went to one particular seller and after looking over other item I saw that he...
For what it's worth, Plante posted the highest single season sv% ever that season. The Leafs were allowing a lot of shots with that young defense, but either...
Thanks, Lloyd. It's an interesting point about Dorey, especially since he did have such a physical game. Jay In a message dated 8/8/2008 11:57:54 AM Eastern...
Thanks for the insight, Paul. I've also found the players many times will have a different take on things than what is in the print media. Jay In a message...
It sure was controversial to the Leaf players. When we were filming our Leaf Classic Games shows, we aired a number of games from the 1970-71 season and 3 ...
Lloyd, Your post made me recall another story that shows one way Plante found to create confidence for his young D. I think it was Mike Pelyk that told the...
I don't think it was a controversial move at all. The Globe and Mail didn't mention the change at all. No knock on Dorey. Here's the defence the Leafs started...
In the Toronto Star on April 14, Jim Proudfoot wrote that the Rangers had been targeting Bob Baun, who had missed the last six games of the 1970-71 season due...
Thanks Lloyd, that explains a lot. The New York papers didn't delve into this much and it was hard to know if it was a controversial decision or not at the...

Can anyone tell me why Jacques Plante got the start in game 6 of the playoffs in 1971 against the Rangers instead of Bernie Parent? Plante started the first...

One book that doesn't come up in conversation and is a must read is Counsel In The Crease by Robert Swados. This book gives a ton if insight for the 67 and 70...

I don't think you'll have to worry about treading over the same ground twice if you pick up "War Games." For one thing, it's not just about Smythe, and it's...

Hi, I'm half way through Canada On Ice and am quite enjoying it. So, I recommend it! You may also try to get your hands on some back issues of the SIHR annual ...
I don't know if it is 'recommended' but my new book has gotten many good reviews. It is titled, "Canada On Ice - The World Hockey Championships, 1920-2008"...
