I'm sot regretted showing up. Our own Industrial Hockey I eague began play Sunday night in the new arena and there were a couple of sur- prises to begin thc new era. the Bruins opened in fine style by upsetting the Rang- ers .4.3. Tom Johnston became the first I.H.1 skater to score in the new facility when h� nnncctcd at 5,32 of th opening stanza for the Rang- ers. I.nfortunately. his goal couldn't boost his team to better things and the Blue - shirts lost their Sth game in nine outings. Ron Hildebrand continues to hold a hot hand for the Bears. He scored twice Sun• day night to pace his club to thc big skicky. Brian Cooper and Terry Stephenson added the other Bruin scores. Johnston chipped in ano- ther goal with time running out and Howie Breen poked in a lone goal to round out the Ranger scoring. FLYERS 9 HAWKS 4 Al Carter must he wonder. ing what he di' wrong to inspire the wrath of his ts•ammates. His squad cast him adrift and he fended for himself most of the night in a sea of orangcshirtcd sharks. Most of the play occurred in the Hawk tone as the birds fell 9 4 to the Flyers. It was the first encounter of the season between the two teams. Casey Klascr paced the winners by netting the hat trick. Dave Broome added a pair with singles going to Bill O'Shea, Steve Smrth. George Reeves and Rick Dalrymple. Four skaters shared the Hawks scoring with John Wilson. John .lanmaat. Jcr• rime Auhin and Marc Robi- nette all getting goals. It ryas the Flyers 8th straight win PENGUINS 4 CANADIANS 3 Ken Swan notched 3 goals including the winner with just 2:55 left in the game to give the Penguins a surprisingly difficult 4-3 late game win over the last place Canadians. The Pen triumph gives them the same -8 win 1 loss mark as the *Fivers and the two dubs meet next Sunday night. Paul Hullev had the other goal for the winners. Gord O'Dwyer. John Rob• arts and Ron Quipp• on a very solo effort. replied for the ucks who lost their 8th consecutive match. As in the case of thye evenings first two games. this was the first time these teams faced each other this season. I.H.L. Notes: There will he no I.H.L. hockey on Boxing Day. No doubt the return home will boost team attend- ance. The first two games last week would not win any merit points for artistic endeavour. The Canuck-Pen game was the hest played Sunday eve• ning. Once again it is time for this season's most improved player awards. Ron Hilde- brand has settled down some what and is producing well for the Bruins., Rick Dalrymple and Man Caron have been pleasant surprises for the Flyers and big reasons why they are currently riding an 8 game win streak. Perhaps the most improved player award should go to Howie Breen of the Rangers. He has already scored 1- points thus far this season and that surpasses his total of 12 that he amassed last year. He has also been among the more consistent performers in the league. There have not been any shutouts or ties for this year. The lack of a tie is the biggest oddity. Thc Flyers and Penguins are running away from the rest of the pack. Both clubs have 16 points so far and that is 8 more than the nearest rival. With lust 6 games left it appears to he a two team race for the league pennant. Pen• alts minutes and scoring is still way down over the same period a near ago despite some high scoring matches that characterized play for a 3 week stretch. The Bruins lead the circuit with 109 penalty minutes. Ron Hildebrand is the individual leader with 34. The Flyers have scored '4 goals and that tops the league. The same team leads in goaltending. The orange shirts have allowed just 26 goals so far. The Hawks are the least penalised team with a mere 66 minutes.
