The Boardwalk Trophy and the Eastern Hockey League Part 1: the Sea Gulls, the Rovers, the Olympics and the Cutters by Chuck Miller (Hockey Ink! Vol
FROM ATLANTIC CITY TO TORONTO: The Boardwalk Trophy and the Eastern Hockey League Part 1: The Sea Gulls, the Rovers, the Olympics and the Cutters By Chuck Miller (Hockey Ink! Vol. III, Iss. 2-3) True story - The Atlantic City Boardwalk Trophy, a prize handed from champion to champion of the old Eastern League, was found in a storage shed. Brian Elwell, a former player/coach for the old Syracuse Blazers, became a successful bar and grille owner after his retirement from hockey. As we talked about the proposed new AHL team for Syracuse, Elwell reminisced about his days in the Eastern Hockey League. "You know," he said to me, "somebody dropped this trophy off at my restaurant. It's been in my storage shed for a while. Seems like I remember seeing this once or twice in my playing days." I drove to Syracuse, hoping against hope that the pilgrimage wouldn't be just a 150-mile sightseeing journey. And when Elwell brought out a missile-shaped trophy with "THE BOARDWALK CHALLENGE TROPHY," carved into its side, the engravings drowning in a sea of tarnish and dirt, I knew this was something big. -=- Our journey begins in the fall of 1930. Lincoln Dickey, manager of the Atlantic City Auditorium, imported some Montreal-based hockey players, set them up against the toughest amateur and professional teams on the East Coast, and the Atlantic City Sea Gulls were born. Led by coach Redvers McKenzie, the Gulls hosted everybody from the New York Rangers to college teams, and by 1932 they were one of the top amateur hockey squads. -

PATRIOTIC DUTY: the 1942 AHL ALL-STAR GAME by Chuck Miller Before American Troops Were Part of World War II, Ice Hockey Already
PATRIOTIC DUTY: THE 1942 AHL ALL-STAR GAME By Chuck Miller Before American troops were part of World War II, ice hockey already felt the effects of Europe's terrible conflict. Canadian soldiers were already sailing to protect England, to help liberate France, to do whatever was necessary to stop the advancing Axis powers. By 1941, North American professional hockey teams wilted from the lack of available skaters. The NHL's New York Americans relocated to the Brooklyn Ice Palace to finish their existence; other clubs saw their buildings being confiscated for wartime purposes. Many young skaters could not play hockey in America without two months of Canadian military conscription - and even after that, could be yanked into service at any time. Under these conditions, the American Hockey League drew up plans for its first All-Star Game, a Cleveland Arena contest pitting the best AHL Eastern Division players against those from the Western Division. All proceeds from ticket sales, concessions, programs and the like would be equally split between the American and Canadian Red Cross, for the benefit of both countries' overseas soldiers. A consortium of fans, players and media selected the forwards, defensemen and goaltenders for this contest, and the Calder Cup- winning Cleveland Barons were well-represented at this inaugural event - five skaters, including the Barons' top line of Les Cunningham, Joffre Desilets and Norm Locking, were on the home ice. Bill Cook, coach of the Barons, faced an Eastern Division of All-Stars coached by his own brother, Providence coach Bun Cook. And Bun wasn't hurting for talent - not with Springfield's Eddie Shore and Frank Beisler guarding the blueline, and Washington's two point leaders, Polly Durouin and Lou Trudel, as his forwards.
