Although we have been accused of being a Red Wing supporter we feel that last year's league champions have weakened themselves on defence in their off season trades and will probably drop down to third place with the swift skating Montreal Canadiens taking over the Prince of Wales Trophy. The Wings traded away defensemen Marcel Prono- vost and Al Langlois to obtain more scoring power on the forward lines and are now left with only two experienced rearguards in veteran Bill Gadsby and big Doug Barkley. The lack of a top flight blueline corps will put more pressure on goalie Roger Crozier, last year's Rookie of the Year, who is very erratic at times. Crozier's erratic play was evident last week- end when the Wings were bombed 8-1 in Montreal on Saturday and then blanked Toronto 3-0 on Sun- day. Because of their abundance of fast skating for- wards and their well balanced roster we have to pick the Canadiens to finish first ahead of the Chicago Black Hawks. The Canadiens are strong at every position and have an adequate defense to protect goaltenders Gump Worsley and Charlie Hodge who are not out- standing but do a reasonable job. The Hawks came on strong in the Stanley Cup playoffs last year be- fore losing out to the Canadiens in the finals and could be a serious threat to the Canadiens if their scoring star, Bobby Hull, can maintain his prolific scoring throughout the season. In last week's action the Golden Jet netted four goals in two games to indicate that he has returned to form for the cur- rent campaign. The Black Hawks have two dangerous for- ward lines and a defence that boasts the best rear- guard in the business and a pair of improving sec- ond year men, Doug Jarrett and Matt Ravlich, two of last year's rookies, showed up well in the Stanley Cup games and their added experience should im- prove their play. In veteran Glenn Hall the Hawks have one of the greatest clutch gaolers in the game today. Because of their experienced players, led by 20-year performers Bill Gadsby and Gordie Howe, we have to pick the Red Wings to come in third ahead of the New Yark Rangers who will finish fourth ahead of the aging Toronto Maple Leafs. With such experienced and proven players as Andy Bathgate, Norm Ullman, Alex Delvechio and Billy Harris the Wings seem to be the team to take third place while the improving Rangers who have strengthened themselves through off season trades get the nod over the aging Leafs who still remain the oldest team in the league despite coach Punch Imlach's youth program. Imlach has added rookie Brit Selby to his lineup so far this year but with the retirement of Carl Brewer the Leaf defense is made up of oldsters Tim Horton, Allan Stanley, Marcel Pronovost and Bob Baun. Red Kelly and George Armstrong are two other Leaf stalwarts who could slow down this year and right now it seems that only a fine performance by leftwinger Frank Mahovlich will get the Leafs in to the post season playoffs. The Boston Bruins have been the doormats of the league for the past few seasons and this year will probably be no exception as the Beantowners, out- side of Murray Oliver and Johnny Bucyk, haven't the talent of the other five clubs. In Hap Emms, their new general manager, the Bruins have a very shrewd executive who could make the Bruins a se- rious contender in the next couple of years but for the coming season the Bruins will have to settle for another sixth place finish. LOCAL TEAMS PREPARE In about two weeks there will be a good sheet of ice at the Exeter Arena and area youngsters will be digging out their blades for the coming hockey season. All the Exeter all-star teams except the squirts have a coach for the 1965-66 season with Terry Bourne coaching the pee wees, Red Loader the midgets, Lorne Haugh the bantams and Frank Boyle the juvenile club. Last year over 160 boys registered to play minor hockey in Exeter but so far only 83 boys have signed up so Arena Manager Alvin Willert has sched- uled another registration this Saturday morning for all ages. The Junior Hawks will open their Shamrock League schedule on November 12 against Delhi with two of last year's scoring leaders not in the lineup. Rightwinger Craig Chapman has joined the Strath- roy club in the OHA Junior 'B' League while lanky centre Mike Cushman is now with the Sarnia Legion- naires. The Hawks will undoubtedly miss these two scoring threats who helped them win the Shamrock championship but club officials are confident that some of the graduates of last year's midget club will fill the gap. RUSTLINGS -- The junior bowling season is now in high gear with more bowlers than ever com- peting in the various league after four.
