They are Peter and Anton with the Quebec Nordiques. After being released by the Toronto Maple Leafs the 33 year-old Marian Stastn Y is playing for the Sierre team in Switzerland. He scored 23 goals for the Leafs a year ago. Stastny left his home in Quebec City on November 5 to begin his new career in Switzerland. Jacques Lemaire, now the managing director of the Montreal Canadiens started his coaching career with the same Sierre club. Foster Wasn't First Contrary to popular belief, Foster Hewitt was not the first per- son to do the play-by-play of a hockey game by way of radio. The first announcer for a hockey game anywhere was Norm Albert as he described a game from Toronto on February 8, 1923. The next day, a story in the Toronto Star hailed it as the inaug ral broadcasting by radio of a hockey game play-by-play. Ironically, the story was written by a cub reporter by the name of Foster Hewitt. Only a month later, Hewitt was at the microphone to describe a game between Toronto Parkdale and Kitchener of the Ontario Senior Hockey league and his illustrious career was underway. The story of Foster Hewitt's life. and his contribution in making hockey popular from coast to coast is provided in the book, "He Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh Shoots, He Scores", written by Scott Young. This book would make an interesting gift for hockey fans of all ages. u While talking about gifts under the Christmas tree come the mor- ning of December 25, how about tickets to the 1987 Exeter Lions Sportsmen's 'Dinner.
