Obituary Hockey Hall of Farmer Bill Mosienko of Black Hawks JERSEY C1TY, NJ. - Ukrainian Bill Mosienko, a hockey Hall of Famer and holder of the record for the fastest three goals in National Hockey League history, died of cancer on July 9 in Winnipeg, reported the Associated Press. Mr. Mosienko, who was 72 years old, spent his 14-year career, which spanned the years 1941-1955, with the Chicago Black Hawks, with whom he scored 258 goals and assisted on 282 others for a com– bined 540 points in 711 games. The highlight of this career came on March 23, 1952, when the right winger scored three goals in 21 seconds against the New York Rangers. The goals, which came at 6:09, 6:20 and 6:30 of the third period, gave the Black Hawks a thrilling come-from-behind victory, 7-6. The only player to come close to matching Mr. Mosienko's feat was hockey great Jean Beliveau, who scored three times in 44 seconds in 1955 for the Montreal Canadiens. in 1944-1945, Mr. Mosienko won the Lady Byng Trophy, annually given to the NHLer who shows the most gentlemanly conduct during the course of a season, in 1955, he was named Manitoba Athlete of the Year. The Ukrainian Canadian community honored him twice, naming the hall of famer the Manitoba Ukrainian Sportsman of the Year in 1980 and honoring him again in 1990 as the Manitoba Ukrainian Sportsman of the past 25 years. Mr. Mosienko was a longtime Winnipegger and proprietor of a local bowling alley both during his career and after retirement. He is sur– vived by his wife, Wanda, and two sons.
