A basic coach The 1983-84 edition of the Minnesota North Stars should be well versed in basics and hockey fundamen- tals when they take to the NHL ice this fall. Their new coach is Bill Mahoney, one of the original organizers of the Huron Hockey School at Huron Park some 12 years ago. At that time Mahoney was a coach and physical education instructor at McMaster Univer- sity in Hamilton. Since that time, Bill who is a stickler for detail and fundamentals has been an assistant coach with head coach Gary Green with the Washington Capitals and head coach of the Adirondack Red Wings in the American league. Mahoney has been one of the reasons NHL clubs have sent a lot of professionals to the local hockey school. The other original at Huron hockey school was Ron Mason who is now coach at Michigan State. Best of luck to Bill Mahoney in his new post come September.
