lucky Hes scored with players draped over his shoulders clutching at his arms legs and Jersey and with sticks neatly placed in the bladesof his skates Hes been prostrate on the ice while some of his shots have gone goaltenders Hes had multitude of injuries many in the early years of his careerand some during the waning seasons Now retired from active duty as skating Can adiens star the Rocket is getting as many goals under playingdays circumstances Such was certainly evident yesterdéy during the alltime great goalscorers few hours in Barrie He had crowded schedule between noon and pm It was made more crowded by unexpected chores pushed on him Naturally everywhEre he Went and everyong he met asked questions What else do you do with such personality And like the great starhe was on the ice

simple explanation You must work hard How can my boy attain great heights in the game he was asked Skate was his answer The skating does not al ways have to be at an indoor rink You have outdoor rinks Your boys should make the most of them SPORTS ay stave JONESCU Sports Editor Rocket pointed to no guiding angel in answer to ques tions about his own fabulous career He told one of the many gatherings he centred that he was not always rightwinger After few seasons with Les Canadians he realized that he could not break around the defence as he used to in amateur days He asked for the switch to the right side despite the fact he was lefthand shot His career zoomed from there Not all was peaches and cream in the career Early seasons injuries held himdown In his first season he lasted only 14 games scoring fivegoals In his final three years injuries prevented him from going full schedule Asked about the time his boss Frank Selke Sr told television and radio audience that the Canadiens would win playoff game in overtime and Rocket would be the felow to score the winning goal Maurice admitted he knew nothing of this However he said its always nice to know youre appreciated How much
