Andre Tinette is ahockey goaler, though
perhaps not a very good. one. Also, he is
jest a little boy; a very little boy indeed,
compared to the giasits of major hockey. Ho
weighs only 133 poiuuls. Yet little Andre
Binette has written into the saga of hockey'
when he was n a sudden emerg-
In
ency by a National, Hoakey Leaguecalled teaom
The night of November 11 Canadiens were drilling in the
usual fashion before playing Chicago Black Hawks. Jacques
.Plante, the hawk -faced goaler was 10 the nets, casually bat-
ting away the shots his mates were tossing his way. The
shots were easy for the swift -moving Plante to handle. Easy. .
that is, until one streaking drive took a Sudden -sharp -curve and
the frozen puck,ytravelling at bullet speed .crashed into his
face. He fell head -foremost onto the ice. His cheek -bone was
shattered by the impact.
Canadiens had two spare goalers. One was out of the city,
with ltoyais'''teaun. The other was down at Providence. So,
suddenly, the League lesulers found themselves with no goaler
at all. Then. someone recalled' that little Andre Biuette, spare
net -minder for a junior team, tvas in the house. Quleltly,he
was found. He was asked to play: vein, no" he protested at
• first, bewildered by it illi. "It would not be fair to Canadiens.
I am too small".
But in the end, he consented to fill the gap as best. he
could. He was hurried to the dressing room, equipped with
the bigpads left behind by the 175 -pound Plante, pads which
hung almost ludicrously from the little fellow's skimpy frame,
He shambled out on the ice; shaking with nervous tension,
weighed down by the over -size gear—his own was in a sports
shop, being cut down,
But his .moment of glory had come and he rose to meet it,
Hawks pelted him with shots. One got by because his leg pads
struck his chest when he bent over and -he couldn't reach down
to stop the puck, sliding along the ice. Four shots beat him
in all, Canadiens imagination caught fire. "We can't let the
kid down" was their battle -cry,' and they fired seven goals,
equalling their' highest total of the year, past Rollins in the
Chicago twine,
So for little Andre Binette, as be lumber/ wearily clown
the ice, a dream had suddenly come trne. He, bed his night
of glory. Probably he will never play le the National Hockey
League agdin. But be Siad, his game, and won it, and his
name will be inscribed in the all-time records as ono of those
hockey purities—a goaler who batted 1,000 percent.
