g tHe OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, October 13, 1966 . SPORTS BEAT | _ By Eric Wesslby Times Sports Editor Quick now, who's one of the busiest hockey men around? It has to be Wren Blair, former general manager of Oshawa Generals, who now occupies the same position 'with. the Minnesota club in the expanded National Hockey League. Officially, Minnesota won't. be in the NHL until 'the 1967-68 season, but between now and then Blair will log more miles than a trans-Atlantic jet.

Frank Germann of Wilcox, president of the Saskatchewan Amateur Hockey Association, said in a statement that no ac- tion wili be taken on the di- rective until all members of the provincial branch vote on the is- sue at a meeting in Regina Sat- urday. Germann said the directive af- fects every junior A team in Saskatchewan.

"In the meantime, I can only hope the CAHA president could find it within himself to recon- sider the action he has taken in this directive. The route he has chosen pours fuel upon the fire." Meanwhile, Stu Peppard, president of the Alberta branch, followed the directive and for- mally advised officials of {he two Alberta teams in the new CMJHL -- Edmonton Oil Kings and Calgary Buffalos--they are under suspension.

He contends that the CMJHL provides the best competition in the West and anyone who can make one of the seven teams is happy to play. END OF CAREERS The CAHA suspensions, if car- ried out, will probably mean that a hockey player's career is upon myself to allow anyone tofended when he graduates from the CMJHL. Under a new CAHA-National Hockey League agreement, which becomes effective next July, all players will become eligible to be drafted by the pro- fessional clubs after their jun- ior hockey career ends. Clarence Campbell, president of the NHL, said Wednesday in Montreal that the professional clubs "will recognize the sus- pensions and will not pick up the players." This cuts off any avenue the ;|this w the suspended players would not be eligible for the NHL draft and would be in a better posi- tion to bargain for a_profes- sional contract since they would be free to dicker with any club. SAYS BOUCHER WRIONG But Campbell said the NHL commitment to support CAHA suspensions will prevent any suspended player from being picked up by an NHL club, Boucher also said earlier that suspension of. the league clubs will mean the end of a strong East-West playoff for the Me- morial Cup, since the stronger teams in the West have aligned with the CMJHL. The Oil Kings are defending Canadian junior chi i Es- tevan also reached the Me- morial Cup finals in the West last season, Gordon Juckes of Melville, Sask., secretary - manager of the CAHA, announced Wednes- day that 35 western clubs are still eligible to compete for the Memorial Cup. Nine teams from the Thunder Bay district, seven from Mani- toba, one from Saskatchewan, six from Alberta and 12 from British Columbia remain elig- ible, he said.
