This is good news, because Djoos is a very mobile skater who should
have been played against the highly mobile Penguins that skated right
around people like Mark Hardy ... Djoos has a pretty good shot and
had a respectable point total for the few games that he played; also,
he meshed well with every partner that he was paired with, during time
of injuries, and even got on the power plays now and then.

Ogrodnick's contract problems at the start of the season soured the
Management on him; it makes you wonder why they bothered to re-sign
him rather than trade him to, say, the Sharks.  Rochefort has been
too hobbled by accumulated injuries and his solid, hard hitting has
been missed.  The only Ranger who could replace him in the hitting
department is Tie Domi, who'd make up for his smaller size by sheer
abandon and fearlessness (and he can really skate, maybe backwards
too).

Sounds like the FLYERS practice uniform. I've seen 'em in Showcase

Maybe it is stupid, maybe it is not.

In basketball, contact is not really allowed. So, if something happens,
its pretty obvious.

But what do you do in hockey if an incident occurs, and two officials
have differing opinions about what happens?

--------------------------------------------
Official 1: Well, I think he was tripped.

Official 2: Well, I think the person was just taking a dive? What do you
            think Official #3?

Official 3: I didn't see it, I was watching that blonde in section 2b.
--------------------------------------------

If you are going to have more than 1 official call things, then you
will need some sort of dispute-settling mechanism.

Subject: Dallas trying for NHL team
Date: 29 Jul 92 15:39:01 GMT

Organization: University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK


From Wednesday's Ft. Worth Star-Telegram:

A group of Ft. Worth/Dallas based businessmen calling itself Pro Hockey 
Dallas has contacted the NHL about applying for an NHL franchise the next
time the league expands.  Doug Christoff, a North Richland Hills sports
entrepreneur, yesterday said he represents six to eight metroplex 
investors that have agreed to help form a partnership to buy an NHL team
when one becomes available.  The only potential investor Christoff named
is Dallas heart surgeon Dr. Kimble Jett, president of the Texas chapter
of USA Hockey.  Christoff also said he is still adding partners and wants
at least one or two from Tarrant County (Ft. Worth and vicinity).  Another
option Christoff's group has pondered is buying an established, yet 
financially troubled NHL franchise and moving it to Dallas.  Christoff
wouldn't name the one such team he had in mind, although the Hartford 
Whalers have been rumoured as a possible team ready to move.  Such a
venture is likely to cost less than the $50 millon or so an expansion fee
is likely to run.

Christoff faxed NHL president-elect Gil Stein a letter expressing an
interest in bringing the NHL to Dallas.  "I have read the fax, and this is
the kind of enthusiasm that I fully support.  I view Dallas as one of 
those areas we would have to be interested in.  We have no present expan-
sion plans, but that doesn't mean we won't have some or have them soon."
Stein said yesterday afternoon.  Stein said the league is likely to add
four teams by 2000, and it could take place sooner and not end at 28 teams.
Other cities considered are Miami, Milwaukee, Seattle, San Diego, Atlanta,
Hamilton, Anaheim, and Houston.  San Antonio could also get a serious look,
considering the new Alamodome can be configured to seat more than 30,000
for hockey.  One of the requirements for an expansion city is the availa-
bility of an arena with at least 18,000 and private suites.  Reunioun
Arena in Dallas can accomodate 16,800 for hockey and has no private suites.
However, Dallas mayor Steve Bartlett has reportedly expressed a desire
for Dallas to build a new sports complex similar to the Alamodome.


Well, this makes things interesting.  I still don't think Dallas deserves
a team, and was suprised to see Denver, Cleveland, Phoenix, Cincinnati,
Portland, and (whimper) Kansas City left off the list as candidates, though
I guess Stein just listed the stronger ones.  The Dallas Morning News left
this out of the paper completely today, but my guess is they just missed
it because they go to press earlier...

  I was looking at the all-star teams from the past World Championships.
  All positions but one are dominated by the Soviets--all except for the
  goalkeeper post.  Here are the European goalkeepers with the highest 
  number of all-star team selections:

Jiri Holecek            CZE	5
Dominik Hasek           CZE	3
Vladislav Tretiak       USSR	3
Peter Lindmark          SWE	2
Jiri Kralik             CZE	2
Vladimir Dzurilla       CZE	2

  
  The total numbers by country are:

  Czechoslovakia	12
  Sweden		 7
  Canada		 5
  Soviet Union		 3
  Finland, USA		 1

  Seems the Soviets have rather weak goalkeeping school relative
  to their over-all strenght!

Since I am doing the baseball reports, I guess I can answer this one.....The
teams play a round robin tournament against all the teams.  The top four teams
advance to the next round with the top team playing the fourth team and the 
second team playing the third team.  The winners play for the gold and the losers

The sport originates from Basque country (partly in Spain and partly in
France).  As said there are similarities with Squash.  It is indeed
normally played indoors, although there are also outdoors playforms.
It is not played with a racket but with 'gloves' made from copper.
It is a team sport.  I have here a booklet describing the different
forms of pelota (luckily in French, not in Basque, though it comes from
a Basque publisher).  But unless I do have information about what form
will be played I can not reasonably tell what the exact rules are.  There
are quite a number of severely different variants.

I second that.A player that received a yellow card previously and commits
another foul for which he deserves a caution will be ejected immediatly.
All that ref has to do is show the Red Card (No Second yellow card).

Note : a caution is given for Dissent, Delay of Game, Encrochement,
       Entering/Leaving the field of play without referee's permission,

Well if as far as i remember last year figure given for superbowl viewing
all over the world was 700 million !  Coming back to viewership of
recent cricket world cup finals, the figures given by the newspapers after
the match(game!) was 1500 million in 30 countries, off course this cannot
be dead accurate, but the point is the popularity of the game,and according
to CNN survey cricket is among 5 most popular sports in the world.

To give you another example of its popularity, here in Canada
where the sport is almost non existent(sp), Toronto star gets
80,000 enquiries on there Hotline(which they form due to demand)
during world cup. This is a record for toronto star for all
sports including baseball and hockey(ice i.e., :-) ). Thats why
now you can see regular cricket coverage in Toronto star.
